Chains or belts transmit motion from
the engine to the wheels. All the parts
are small, we'll put together, and very
compact. The small tubular boiler is

two rcceptacles containing a sufficient
supply of water TO last during journey

whole engine is mere plaything, and
yet, with pressure Of three and a half
atmospheres, it has sufficient power to
drive the velocipede at q speed Of from

fireplace which heats the boiler is an in.

a method is provided for regulating

Externally the boiler is furnished with
tubes rolled in the form OF a spiral, so

exposed directly 20 the fire before en-

miles an hour, the cost Of alcohol con4

The undersigned desire through your
columns to correct the statement made in
the Register Of yesterday in regard to W.
NJ. Forester, Deputy Grand Master OF
Odd Fellows. The article referred to is q
gross misrepresentation and does great in.
Justice to the gentleman referred to and
the Order he represents. 1t was not au.
thorized by Mr.. Z. s. Norton, and is with
out shadow OF foundation, in fact. He
applied to Mr.. Norton In person for &C.
commodations at the New Mcclure, and
was informed by Mr.. N. that Just at that
time he would be over run with guests, as
quite number OF the delegates would be
there, and he would not be able to supply
him with the room he desired.
Mr.. Forester took no offence at the in
formation, but sought and obtained suit
able accommodations among his friends in
the city, which he much preferred. He
did not consider himself aggrieved; had
not thought Of such o thing as bringing
suit against Mr.. Norton under the civil
rights, or any other bill; did not call on
Col. Miller, U. S, Commissioner Rogers
and Commissioner Walton for that pur.
pose; did not call on them at all for any
purpose whatever. He transacted his
business connected with and BY authority
Of the G.. U. o. f., and left without
any Misunderstanding TO mar the pleas
