Dissertation of the New Soda Motor
and the Appliances for Charging

THE Use of steam Prohibited on the
Line Below Nineteenth street
After Nov. 1.

Some time this week Minneapolis will wit
ness the introduction of a novel motor
power. which, its inventor thinks, Will reVO-
Iutionize the world. 1t is the new soda
motor, which will go into active operation
on the city tracks of the Minneapolis Lyn-
dale & Minuetonka railroad. During the
early summer a small and imperfect model
of this engine was brought here Tor trial,
and though the conditions were not favor
able the experiment was pronounced a
qualified success. 1t is agreed that tor the
ordinary uses of railway. steam has never
as vet been eXcelled. but as steam Is practl-
callv prohibited for the motor line, the
caustic soda patent is regarded as the only
thing entirely feasible. SO imbued is the
management, not only with this idea, 0ul
with the belief that in time the cauStic soda
engine will superSede the ordinary steam
engine. that nearly one hundred thousand
dollars has been expended in four OF the
new motors and in the plant necessary tC
their operation.
THE CAUSTTC SODA MOTOR
is the invention of Julius Honigmann, OF
Germany. some three years since, and was
the result of pressing demand for loco
motive for use in the long tunnels IN Eu-
rope. The Mt Gems tunnel for example,
is so long that it was found absolutely essen
tial to use engines without smoke as 1t was
impossible TO thoroughly ventilate the tun-
mel. After some little experiment, HONG
mann produced the caustic soda engine and
pronounced il perfectly adapted to the de-
mand. 1t does away with the ire and
smoke and steam nuisance being virtually
q reservoir for all three. Its operation, In
brief. is to store the necessary heat IN the
vast mass of caus,ic soda, where it is re-
tanned from six TO eight hours, Yaporlzng
the water but giving of no smoke. There
is no exhaust and COZ seQuentIy no pufnng
or kissing OF steam. al the surplus beng
discharged into the boiler of cauStlc soda,
where it assists in maintaing the heat by
chemical action. The caustic soda Is first
prepared for use by Superheatlng at charg-
ing furnace after winch it is III condition
