Gently made with petroleum as a fuel for
steam fire engines. The form of the part
of the engine containing the fuel is
changed-reservoirs, each containing thir-
teen gallons of petroleum, being placed on
each side of the furnace, from which tubes
conduct it to burners in close contact with
the boiler. The experiments are said to be

sufficient to force water with the usual
power in one-half the time occupied BY the
system at present in use. Besides saving
time, this process is also said to save money,
