CREATING GREAT PRESSURE.
Another Revolution in Motive Power
Promised by a New Invention.

Another Revolution in Motive Power
Promised by New Invention.
From the Scientific american.
Several newspapers have referred to a
new invention by one William Timmis,
which, if successful, will revolutionize mo-
tive power. The inventor is an uppreten-
tious English mechanic, residing in Pitts
burg, Pa, who claims to have invented
machine by which untold motive power
can be stored or used without the expendi-
ture of fuel. The story goes that he has
been engaged for years in perfecting the
invention, and is now negotiating with the
governments of England, Russia and the
United States for the sale of the right to
use his discovery, which, if after examina-
ton it proves to be what it claims, will
revolutionize the motive power of the
world He claims to be able to create a
pressure of 10000 pounds per square inch
more than sufficient to propel the largest
ocean steamer afioat, or to move eighty
laden freight cars in one train.
The machine seems to be simply an air
compressor of the simplest sort. 1t consists
of one small cylinder six horsepower
with balance weight of seventy-five
pounds, which runs the entire apparatus;
another small cylinder inches in diane
with inches stroke, congresses the air
into tank from which the power is util-
lied. Under the plston-plate the inventor
has placed two layers of bars containing
eleven different minerals, the magnetic in
fluence of which is the secret of the inven-
ton. Tho advantages he claims are dura-
bility, economy and simplicity. Experts
have examined the machine and pronounced
it a success.
In submitting his design to the govern
ments named, Mr.. Timmis claims that the
pneumatic generator can not only be APP
piled to war vessels as a motor, but can be
used as a defense against hostile attacks by
armor plating.

Gen. Harrison's Frig,d Reserve.

Middle Bass Letter to Chicago Herald.
No one who has come in contact with
him will be base enough to impute to Ben
jamin Harrison any of the characteristics
of a magnetic man." Personally he is
queer genius, kind of fifteen puzzle. 1t
cannot be said that, like George f. Edmunds,
the frigid zone hovers continuously about
him, nor at the same time has he any of the
personal inspiration that follows from con-
tact with a Blaine, Depew, or even
Foraker. He more resembles a clam that,
while opening its shell wide enough to be
able to perceive all that is going on, is quick
to close it with snap on the approach of
even one of its own sentries. Almost any

his sojourn on the island the Fosters and

have been found enjoying social game of

porch of the club house. Almost every
night the genial better half of the repuh-
lican nominee has taken hand in a game
of seven-up or poker in the ladies' parlor of

any such recreation. When the laughter is
loudest and the hilarity most contagious he
may be taking a lonely stroll On the beach,

seated in the library of his cottage, either
gazing abstractedly into space or buried
deep in newspapers. Very little Of his cor
respondence has received attention since
his arriya al. lie speaks when spoken to,
