engine the work of which we recently in

leum engine does not differ generally
from some horizontal types of gas en-
gines, except that il carries q small reser-
yoir above it for the oil. In the present
instance, this reservoir contains two and

Is equal to a five or six hours supply
From the reservoir the petroleum is con
Quoted by pipe to a pump, by which
small measured quantities are injected
into the cylender of the engine. The oil
is supplied at the rate of about four drops
per revolution of the engine (which runs
at 100 revolutions per miuutel. and at a
given point il is ignited by means Of a
spirit lamp. The modus operandi may
be briefly explained as follows On its
out-sp3ke the piston draws in charge of
air and petroleum, and on the return
stroke it congresses this mixture, which
is exploded as the crank passes the back

had been tuned in sunny climes, said:
We're ez Captain Jenning." It was Jag
marine, the beautiful swordswoman.
Captain Jennings was at hand. attired
ina full costume of Aaster-at-Arms.
Jaguarine stepped forth, looking mar
tiaI queen in some fairy extravaganza.
A tunic and CATERS of bronze-colored
leather and crimson tights covered the
ideal form of an Amazon; but she did not
look that NEUROLOGICAL character until She
had donned a heavy helmet and grasped
a slender sword. The grace of the woman
was ever present, however, and it claimed
almost as large a share of admiration as
the dexterous proves which she soon dis
played with her right arm. This was
shielded with leather but the other was
bare. rounded like polished marble yet
pinky tint, suggestive Of the mos. per-
feet vitality
The meeting between Captain Jennings
the well-known professor of fence, and
jaguarine was brought about for the pur-
pose of testing her skin. The contest
was with rapiers and the bouts were short,
sharp and intensely exciting. Clash fol-
lowed clash upon the finely tempered
blades with the swiftness of lightning
that seemed at moments to fashfrom them
at the instant of contact. Jaguarine was
particularly happy in her feints, which al
wavs were followed with incalcuable ra-
pidity by stroke or thrust which told
upon the cuirass Of her opponent. When
the feint was in tierce the blow was given
in quart, and vice versa. At the scoring
there was a contest of generosity between
the fencers. Jaguarine said, with her
peculiar pretty accent: captain l don
want to sheat you; you take all you de-
serve" In the end the greater number of
points stood to the credit of the Amazon.
and everybody present CALAMITY saluted
her as victor, Captain Jennings warmly
exclaimed / will back her for $500
against any swordsman on the coast.
Jaguarine was loath toward the close to
de,ist from the warlike play, and Several
times she coaxed the captain to another
crossing of swords. Finally taking off her
helmet, she walked up to him and patted
him on the cheek. you are very good
man Captain, and eef you vos not married
