schemes to buy it in cheap. \ few days
before the sale ten or twelve backWOOds-
men appeared in town with long minutes
Of the value Of the lands offered, the wood
ON them. etc. Being asked what their Oh

a dilemma for the land sharks these
wOOdsmen would run the price up TO e
real value. 50 the land agents offered a

THE United states Spring Car Motor
Car Company. Of Philadelphia, exhibited
its spring motor Saturday. The Press Of
that city states that much interest was
taken in the project, and that the COM
pany intends to 20 forward and prepare
its motor for use in street cars and fact0-
ries. The process involves the use Of
heat chemically pure and Of great in
tensity. Ii is reached By mixing gas
with air at the point Of ignition and pro-
iecting the flame thus produced against
the steel with great force. The steel,
thus rapidly heated 10 any desired extent,
passes through the cams OF the cOiling
machine. and receives is coils. As it
leaves the cOiling roll, and within six
inches Of the last jet Of heat, it is struck
on each side by stream Of compressed
air with such force as TO chill it, thus
giving it the proper temper. \ spray Of
water follows to remove the latent heat.
Ii also states that a similar company has
been formed in New York.
