marvels. which are Accumulated by steam
are to be performed with Infinitely greater

when compared with the marvels that are
promised in this newly discovered force of
nature, it the statements Of well-known
business man of good standing and of
high repute as a scientific inventor are to
receive the Gredence that would be given
to them on any other subject All the
difficulties naturally to be expected in
learning the use of so tremendous an
agency have been encountered in the ex-
pcriments that have been made with this.
New. tools have been made with which the
parts of a new engine are being fashioned
for the use of. the motive power. Metal
has been made especially for its construc-
ton. A new scientific vocabulary has
been fashioned to express the operations
hitherto unknown in mechanics, and per-
feet success has attended the experiments
made thus far. -. .;a

the experiments participated in by him

penses and his machinist's bills are paid,
