Raw Materials.
James Leedy, a German inventor,
who has been carrying on his experiment
in Minneapolis for over year, believes
that he has solved the cheap fuel prob

by dropping stream of crude petro-
leum through a blast of cold air from
force pump. The gas thus obtained
will be confined in a regular cylinder
open at one end, where the gas is to be
lighted. In the experiments which
have been tried the fame has been sew

The inventors plan is toheat boilers by

company has been formed, and T. w.
