surrounded by a horseshoe magnet. In
the boiler the whole secret lies. This
boiler-or cylinder. as The inventor calls
it's perfectly insulated and is placed be.

number of insulated copper wires
emerge from one end of the mysterious
cylinder and are brought together and
wrapped around one end of the magnet.
They are then formed into cable and
taken across TO the other end OF the
horseshoe and are again wrapped around
the magnet and then enter the other end
of the mysterious cylinder.
From the center of the cylinder two
wires emerge and are attached 10 switch
board, and from these wires are strung to
wherever the current is required. Under
This cylinder the heat is applied, and sicl-
DIV starting the fire generates the electric
current.
The contents and arrangements Of the
cylinder are known only to the inventor
and there is where the secret of the in
vention is. Mr.. RosenholZ says the whole
thing is very simple and he only followed
the rules of nature in working it OUT.
when heat is applied under the
cylinder" said the inventor, "a disturb
ance takes place inside much the same as
that created by thunderstorm IN the
air." In other words the inventor simply
-
and harnesses the lightning.
The inven tor calls the machine a mag
netic furnace, and In describing It says
that the cylinder is placed between the
poles of an electric magnet. When fire
is placed under the cylinder from the con-
struction of the appliance it converts the
energy of heat into electrical energy.
The CYLINDER is divided internally into
two separate parts, one of when is made
positive and the other negative, and so
arranged and constructed that the heat
disarranges the electrical capacity Of
each. The amount of electricity in
one is increased, while in the
the natural order of things is then dis
charged from the overcharged cham ber
into the other IN a manner somewhat
similar TO one thunder-clOud discharging
electricity into another during a storm.
By some means conceived by Mr.. Rosen-
holz this discharge is caught as it flashes
from one compartment to the other and
thus the power Is secured.
Experiments with the machine have
proved most satisfactory, although il is
vet in primitive state. The inventor Is
as yet far from satisfied with it. and his
greatest difficulty now is to secure an eveu
current. a siXteen-candle power incaD-
descent lamp when attached to the wires
of the machine will glare strongly for a
moment. then perhaps die out entirely.
and the next instant will fash up with so
strong current that the lamp will be
ruined. To overcome this and secure a
steady, even current is now occupying the
inven tors mind.
Mr.. RosenholZ has interested himself
only about year in electrical work and
as yet processes to know very little about
the modern electrical appliances. He
says he has had no practical experience OF
any kind In that department of engineer.

been CLEANED from reading. He says thai
most of the ideas which he has obtained
In that way have proved by actual expert
ment to be erroneous, as they were con-
trary to nature, and all his ideas ineor-
porated in his inventions have been
copied from nature
