PETRoLEUA IN LocoHog1ves.-Tho utilf-
ties aud capacities of petroleum as genera-
tor Of heat are being very widely discussed,
and in England great intention Is being dcyo-
ted to the question whether II can be made au
available fuel for locomotives. Mr.. Bridges
Adams thinks Il can, tho only question being
its economy. He describes IN engine which
could be used, and by which the Ore could be
so directed as to regulate at pleasure the con-
ceutratiou on the boiler, by which there would
be no burning Of the boiler, NO cutting of the
tubes by particles OF fuel, no sparks or smoke
through the chimney, and no sulphur or car
bon III fumes to damage the copper or annoy
the passengers. In building m engine pur-
posely for such fuel, many things nliclt be
arranged advantaGeous1y but there Is no diI-
4culty In applying tho principle to any exist
ing engines. The advantages are, absence Of
smoke and dirt, md noxious gases, aud coal
dust, and occasional coal on The rails-or. if
coke be used, the freedom from cutting the
tubes, and the freedom from particles OF coke
dust in the passengers' eyes-mote frequent
In tunnels than elsewhere Practically az
tending the heating surface, by usins the
whole instead OFFS portion OF it, small boiler
reer eyasas uh f. aes r. en- an
machine. The economy Of using coal ii; Is =
question he does not touch. Compared ;*i.h
coal, Its cost must be greater.
