: There il actually no danger, for there ID
no boiler, and only cutfa'l Of warm va
ter, and the steam generated passes In
stantly into the steam chest Of the engine,
does it, work, and exhausts itself In the
outer atmosphere.
Ordinary locomotive boilers arc usually
subjected to . pressure Of lO6 pounds ia
the square inch, having q thermomctrical
heat Of 33i degrees, Fahrenheit. The
thickness Of the iron globe In this inven.
tisn, al other things considered, will bear
. pressure Of about 1000 pounds to the
square inch, and heat - before stated,
Of about 500 or 600 degvces.
An estimate, consid.red moderate, con.
templates the saving Of forty per cent. IN
fuel over the ordinary mode Of generating
steam.
Objections have been raised that n,
iron globe. or steam generator, cannot b.
dUrable. 1t is estimated, on = scientific
basis. that it will last quite - long as tn
common boiler.
Il works we'll, noiselessly and rapidly

Or process.
The inventor is Mr.. Ebenexer Danforth
Of Geneva, Illinois. but the Invention II
now in the hands Of corporsts company
Of which Mr.. lloratio Allen, president o
the celebrated "Novelty Works." Of Nev
York. IL ct the head. Its capital il %.
400. 1000, and works. upon it, interest 1
both foreign and home patents.
One OF these machines il in full opers
ton at No. 90 West Lake street, and,
the psoprietors will permit the public t
80 e, will be universally admitted a. tn
most important invention since the day
