Ever since the discovery of petroleum., the
rrrniion ~ the scientific aud practical men
uf the country has hccn directed towards
rue prnciicnbiliiy OF making II substitute
f~ wood and coal for purposes OF FUEL
The great cost of the latter articles, not
only formnaufacturing purposes into which
ilcy enter So sdgrcly, but FOR the ordinary
uses of the househohty has been so long felt
IN hc a burden aud q, ehcnpcr substitute
been needed, hence tie many experiments
that have been made 10 adapt petroleum TO
ifll this great public want. Until now, all
r.fhriS have failed, the great obstacle being
that petroleum.. when exposed TO furnace
tcmperaiurc would en- rboniLe in such guam
rites as TO close the boiler tubes III IL
hours~br less lime. Mcssrs. Whipple aud
Dickers on have at last succeeded i'm accom-
Iaishing what so many have failed lille
Of applying heat in such n manner ms to
evaporate the petroleum without chrboniza-
ion. Their liquid fuel machine has been
in operation ut Duyalls Foun Try, George
town. for the past four months, running
30 Horse eng,n-, using no fuel but pctro
Errm or shalc oil The machine is quite
simple In its construction; and only occu-
pies space of 40 by 4G inches. u consists
Of Two wrought iron cylinder, one INSIDE
ite other, with a dome on the outer one
The inside cylinder is the generator for
converting the oil into gaseous Tapor by
the application Of super-heated steam IN
copper pipes, which result is instantly OBJ
tanned, and the vapor passes into the ou'cr
cylinder CT gas hoder; from thence thro
tubes into the dome, which is filled with
spongcs, in which is another pipe by which
snpci-hcnted steam is brought in and there
mixed; thence conducted to the tlre-boX
under tile boiler, where II supplies a gas
bnners,. wIich are lighted the same ms
cfser gas, producing most intense heat.
That this Invention is destined to create
complete revolution in all that relates to
artificial heat, either for manufacturing
purposes on the largest scale or the neat
ing and cooking done in the homes Of the
poorest in the land, is beyond question:
The blessing of cheap fuel brought about
,sy tbi,invention will not only enable the
manufacturer to make his goods at much
IJwer prccs-wLich will benefit the COM
munity--but will lift from all alike the
enormous tax that is yearly paid for fuel.
II. wys.ld .be, difficult, just now, to compute
he great amount OF good that VIII now
from this timely invention. whether IN the
smelling furnace, on steamship, locomotive,
in running n stationary engine, or III Thy
business or dwelling requiring the use OF
wool or coal, more than One-lalf Will be
saved in the cost of fuel by this machine.
With this great saving in fuel, with
flame like that of ordinary gas -burncrs,
which can be regulated nj my deglee Of
heat up to one Of M intensity never before
known, and without particle of smoke
the immense advantages over the fires now
in use can be readily estimated. Brick
makers have long sought just such heat
lone that could be distributed 10 every
part of the kiln, and have it regulated as
is done by this mnchiue. One man can
furnish all the fuel, by this process, that
is required to run the largest steamship
Stat crosses the ocean. Instead of the
proatspacc necessary to carry coal, all that
is necessary is few barrels of petroleum
ar shaIe OIL No smoke stacks are required,
only small pipe to carry off the vnpor.
,skc saving in labor and the economy in
space is large item, and has not been
overlooked,by the steamboat and steamship
men. who have examined the machine
tyfficers Of the Navy nre deeply impressed
with its valse'to the Government. Among
the number of gentlemen who visited
Georgetown yesterday TO see the macliine
in operation, were the President and the
Secretary of the Navy, weo expressed them
selves upon the necessity of progress in
this direction, and seemed greatly pleased
atthe successful working of the invention.
