nate series Of experiments were conducted by
Chief Engineer Rutherford, Of the United
States navy, J. snowdsn Ball, mschan-
icA engineer; WiIHaa Boskel. me-
lawyer Of this city. and the results were printed
In pamphlet for the private information Of tho
stockholders. Beside the ar and watsT tests
they Examined the escape from tho valves, and
found it to be "vaporio OF sassous produc.
tion." without smell or taste, and with no q.
TO flame. When piece Of muain cloth was
held over the escape an i0cle In the shape Of .
thimble was rapidly formed. The Investigators
also tasted the water which bad been used In the
muldplicator, and discovered no unusual favor
or odor, and took tho machine to pls,ss without
finding any residuum.

doing the work Of steam without heath Tie in

further explanation Of tho manner by which =
pressure Of 26 pounds to. the inch, which the
Schuylkill water has in the hydrant, 10 increased
to $1,000 pounds by merely passing through his
iron cylinders. It is his secret, he says. and he
will reveal it - soon as his patents In this
country and in England are issued.
One Of the principle owners of the
invention accounts for the strange force on
the superstition that the machine separates Wa
ter into its ultimate atoms, and changes their
cohesive into one Of strong repulsion, II is q
singular popularity Of the force that when 1t

pounds to the square inch,i extinguishes itself,
