oil, as is demonstrated by the fact that the
engine is run without particle of smoke
or cinders in the smoke. stack. The mode
of operating is to take the steam from the
bsiler by means of pipe, passing it through
a super heater placed in the fire bex which
raises the temperature of the steam 20 from
500 to 700 degrees. From thence it is
conducted to the generator where it vapor-
ICES the oil which passes to the dome, mixes
with the supcr-heated steam there intro
duced, and is conducted back to the fire box
by common gas pipe for combustion The
novelty of this invention consists in bringing
the requests amount Of hydrogen heat to
Vaporize the oil, thus avoiding carbonization
which always results from placing oil in
contact with fire or furnace heat, and which
has heretofore rendered all otAer inventions
worthless. The method of uniting the gases
or vapOrs and producing perfect combustion
and the greatest economy IN fuel, are also
novel. The inventor claims the saving on
fuel to be one-half, at the relative price of
coal and oil There being no sulphur in
the flame it is claimed that the fire boxes,
boilers and fues will last much longer in
these machines than in an ordinary engine
where coal is used. The machine having
been used during the past four months, and
at all times open to inspection, has been
critically examined by many of the most
experienced and distinguished engineers
and scientists of the country The inven-
tors made special occasion of introduing
and exhibiting a new machine which had
never been tested until it was put in opera
| ton in the presence of some forty distin-
guished persons assembled to witness it,
among whom were Hon. J. P. Upsher, Hon.
w. A. Randall, Hon. Jesse D. Bright, Hon.
James Hughes, Seniors Ruiz, Crisdo and
| Rodengues of Cuba, and several engineers
and scientific men. A complete revolution
has been effected by this invention. Ocean
steamships and river steamboats, will now
be enabled to carry their propeling power
in a few barrels of petroleum or shaIe oil,
at cost of one-half less than the bulky
wood and coal thsy now carry. For smelt
| ing purposes it is the great desidratuns as
such a terrible heat as is given by this
process was never before generated. 1t will
completely change the whole aspect of
things as far as every kind ofheat and steam
power is concerned. This simple and easily
understood invention is looked upon by the
scientific and practical gentlemen who have
thoroughly examined it, as one of the
frIu he of of
and discovery. The Howard investigating
Committee Sc far have testimony to the
effect that General Bullock, Treasurer of
the Freedmens Bureau, has drawn warrants
on th United States Treasury in payment
for the ground on which the Howard Uni
versity is built to the amount of SIl4,Q00,
and also payment to the contractor and
builder of the University for very large
amounts. Gen. Howard gave a large
amount to the Young Mems Christian As
sociation, and also to the new COngregation on
al Church, but for the latter he received the
bonds of the Church. There is somewhat
of mix in the purchase of the Barry farm
and the protested notes of Mr.. J. z. EIvans
for whom Gen. Howard was endorser and
Gen. Howard's desire of the contractors to
purchase material of Mr. Elvans so that he
might get what he being endorser on Elvans'
protested notes. The examination being
secret but little news cant be got but that
little is not good for the benefit of General
Howard's philanthropic character. Mr.,
Wood who brought the charges against
Gen. Howard, was yesterday refused a copy

with the manner the examination was con-
Quoted, and intimates that whether so in

appearance of desire to avoid that search

by the House. The National Banks of
