Uses so much in the study of the sun.
Professor Hale is a young man Of
great wealth who has become in
tensely interested in astronomical

April 9Th. 1t has been forty years in

a New York dispatch says:
d" George Sheffield, a gray-halred
inventor of this city, day
announced on the Maritime Ex-,
change that he had invented a new
marine engine that would enable the
Paris or Teutonic to make the trip
from New York to Queenstown in
three days and ten hours. He said
that the engine was not problematical,
but an accomplished fact, and that it
could propel vessels of 5000 tons at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. The
the Paris and the
Ieutonic, have an average speed of
less than twenty-one miles per hour.
No coal is to be used with this ocean
engine, but the screw system will be
used. In brief, the thing will be a
motor power, and enough of this can
be put in a couple of flour-barrels to |
drive a big ship from Liverpool to |
New York. One part of the motive |
power is sugar-plain, ordinary sugar |
and another barrel will contain |
,hlorate of potash. The machinery is
complicated. The steel
chamber into which the piston-head |
enters has q small tube entering at |
opposing sides. Through one sugar
md through the other chlorate of
potash is injected by air pressure.
They mingle as the rod dipped in sui
1huric acid comes in contact with
hem, and this causes an explosion
which drives the piston. The series
If explosions Is kept up by the feeding
If the ingredients, and so the piston
5 kept working by gases instead of
" steam"
