It is evident, therefore, that the pro.
posed successor of steam, if mechani.
cally applied, would be used over the
larger part of the world as an inyaIu-
able auxiliary Of steam, with an enor-
nous economy of coal and wood. The
successful introduction of such a amotiye
power, minimizing the fuel consump-
tion, would bea boon OF incalculabfe
importance in the manufactures and
arts. That the principle upon which
its introduction 10 claimed toTbe feasible
is scientifically correct seems hardly to
be doubted. If the immeasurabIe chalk

fuel would give an impetus to all indus
tries, and might revolutionizs the com.

wealth and political power are mainly
due to their coal supplies.
