From the Chicago Times.

On yesterday we were shows what
promises to be the most wonderful
invention of the age, and one which
promises to revolurionize our entire
domestic and commercial economy.
1t is nothing less than substitute
for fuel, produced at comparatively
40 expense, and by the application
Of the simplest scientific continuance.
The invention is denominated the
hYdrocarbon burner and gas-genera-
tor. By the application Of the in.
vention, ordinary coal oil and water
may be made to produce heat enough
to run an engine, propel machinery,
heat cooking-stove, illuminate a
mansion, Or perform any other result
usually accomplished by means of
wood or coal. 1t is an entirely safe
and practicable method. By it's use
the most difficult mechanical prob
lens Of the age are destined to be
solved in the future. The burden
Of gas monopolies will be abolished,
and the new system of generating
heat from water and oil will astonish
the scientist as we'll as the unschool~
ed and undisciplined mind. The
process is not complicated or mys-
terious. It is simply the result
which overwhelms the mind with
its wonderful possibilities. Prof.
Kendall, the welI-known chemist,
who has experimental with this In
vention, says that by the use of it
he was enabled to produce all the
fire to do the cooking, washing and
ironing for six persons, for seven
days, for SO cents. The apparatus
burns from one-fourth to seven-eights
as much water as it does any COM
bustible fluid, and produces result
which cannot fail to fill every one
with amazement who witnesses its
operations. For household purposes
It is unexcelIed. There is no dust
or filth, smoke or disagreeable scent
about it. Gas can be furnished
from any cooking stove for illumina-
ting house for 50 cents thousand
feet. The light produced is clear,
bright and steady, far superior in
quality and illuminating properties
to the ordinary gas produced from
coke, which costs from So to So 80
per thousand feet. The attachment
can be made to any ordinary stove,
range, or furnace, or motive power.
with entirely satisfactory results.
This invention only needs to be
examined to have its merits fully
appreciated. Capitalists and persons
desiring from curiosity or other mo-
tives to see the invention in opera
ton are cordially requested to call
and witness its results. A patent
has been procured, and the inven-
tor, very eminent scientific gentle
man, is now prepared to enter the
field, and capture the public with an
invention obvious on sight, and more
useful to civilized man than could
be the realization Of the widest
dreams created by the alleged claim
of the Kelley motor which have
heretofore created so much comment
and interest in the public mind. The
and practicability Of this
apparatus can be determinated on
sight, and it is destined to go into
use as soon as It's merits
become known to the public. Ithas
been examined by scientific man.
and the principles gifts foundation
have been pronounced sound and IN
accordance with chemical science.
Its discovery is more valuable to
than the alchemist's stone.
By means of it the suferings ofthe
Door will be ameliorated, and their
lardships assuaged. The inventor
# cheap fnel may indeed be called a
oenefactor to his kind, and the bleg-
sings of the world will follow him.
The genuineness and utility of the
sreat and useful invention are des-
ined soon to become acknowledged
