This motor Of Or. Crookos appears to surpass
tho Koety devico In some respects. Tho power
iB workable ut low pressure, involves but little
expense for apparatus, requires no blowing Of
Rfr from tho lungs, useH no hydrant-prpaHure,
and its succoss docs not depend upon "cold
sapor."

honesty OF Dr. Crookes, or supposed for tnu-
