SON Kerosene motor, copied from the No
veInber number of the "Horseless Age,
an illustrated magazine, devoted to this
subject, that made It's first appearance IN
New York last Novem Der:
1.-THE weight of this double cylinder
engine is 800 lbs. The cylinders which
are parallel, are Sx12 inches, and the
water jacket for cooling is cast in the
same piece with them.
"Ihere are four poppet valves, con-
trolled by independent cams, making the
engine practically noiseless in running,
and two fly wheels, Weighing together
about $50 lbs.
''The supply of oil is carried in tank
capable of holding about ten gallons,
and is pumped. into the retort, to be
converted into vapor, as is required by
the speed of the motor. AS there are two
governors, one for each cylinder, the sup
ply of oil can easily be regulated to each
cylinder.

whole thing will be attached by braces,
under the middle portion Of the buck
board, Of which we give an illustration,
the shaft being, of course, parallel to the
axles of the vehicle. The two sprocket
wheels on the shaft will be connected by
chains with two much larger sproeket
wheels on the axle of the rear wheels.
The blackboard will therefore be rear

Baker, we'll known throughout the state
as ''lost freight agent for the Maine

fact. Mr.. Baker has recently been chas

press. agent there in the sum Of $780,
When it came to putting it in the ex-
press car it was found that it was too
large and it was then decided to ship it
to Bangor by freight.
The station agent was either sick or
absent and the matter of looking after
the shipment fell upon boy in the sta
ton agents employ, who was not well
informed upon the methods observed
| in such matters. He says, however, that
he billed the chair, that it was put in a
Maine Central freight car and properly
started on it's way. The car was traced
to barmingion but no chair was found
| in it.
| Then a Grand Trunk car, bearing a
| similar number, having been at Mt. De-
sert at that time was traced but with no
better success, and today the matter is
rs much a mystery as ever. Mr.. Baker
does not believe that the chair was ever
billed and further that it was stolen he
