A NEW MOrORe-

The Kssly motor is in hidias. but there
 are other wonderful motors to which the at-
 tention of the world is invited. Among
 them is the 'ttriple thermio Taokor, l" invented
 by man named Colwell, of Piftabnrg, Penn
 sylvania. Mir. ColwelI's motor fs not asmysi
 terious as the motor of Mr. Kssly. In fact
 it is not mysterious at all. for there are two.
 of them at work in plain aight--ena ct Pitts
 burg and the other at New ,YeEk-aa the
 manner in which they are made to Mokkis
 freely explained. @s
 The motive power in Mr. DolWelrs engines Is bi-auipbide of carbon ehaARed into vapeG4 The motor on exhibition in New York con sists of four principal parts, a generator,
 boiler. engine and condenser. The generator
 Is an ordinary steam boiler, capable of sup plying power for an ordinary fifteen horse
 power engine. The boiler, as the inventor calls it, is built like any tabular boiler, but has PIP l 1-2 inch tubes, while an ordinary one would have but fifty It would run,
 with steam, a sixty horse power engine. It is filled to the water line with bi-sulphide of carbon. about 3, 500 pounds of the liquid be- ing used. This boiler is surrounded by a shell or jacket, perhaps eight inches more in diameter than the boiler, which is filled with. steam from the ffteen-horse power boiler or generator. Tho engine Is a common one of some fifty horse power, but is peculiar in one respect, having two smaller cylinders connected with the main one, as 8 patented device, which really gives five piston rods inEtead of one, and it was selected because it would best show the fact that the bisulphide would not escape from the cylin- der around the piston, and that Iubricator could be made which would work to perfec- tion. The condenser which restores the va DOT to the liquid form is of the smallest size made. Connected with it is 8 simple ar- rangement of pipes, which at the same time assists in condensing the bi-sulphide yapor into liquid, and in heating it after 1t becomes 8 liquid so as to raise it nearly to the temper ature required to again convert it into vapor.
 This ingenious machine, or combination of machines, iS made to work by building fire under the first boiler, or generator. When the boiling point is reached the steam passes through pipe to the shell of the boiler con- taining the bi-sulphide of carbon. On dis seminating itself throughout the shell, the steam, being at temperature of at least 2120, heats the bi-sulphide of carbon, which is quickly converted into vapor and is ready for work. After thus heating the bf-sulphi1e, the steam, having given up all it's heat, be- comes water, and is pumped back into the generator to be again converted into steam. The steam of the bi-sulphids of carbon, being ready for use, is conducted through pipe, which is also inelosed by another pipe, or shell, containing steam. to the cylinder of the engine where it works exactly in the same manner as common steam.
 It is claimed in behalf of this new motor thAs H Saves sl per cent. in full; that it can be as easily operated as steam engine; that it insures a more uniform power; that it is adapted for all purposes for which the steam engine is now used, and for some purposes for which it is entirely inapplicable, especially h mines; that there is little liability of ex- plosion; that there is no eerrssion in the boiler; that the boiler canHet be burned; and that there is no grease, no sparks, no noise and no dust. Perhaps 1t may not come up to the highest hopes of it's inventor, but it appears to be 8 promising machine If it will do all that is claimed for it the steam engine will have to go.
