"A Glimmer tn the Sightless-
Deaths in hlcago In 1896.

ST PAUL, Mimi, Jan al. G. Kali
Ter, of Mankato, Mimi, has applied fol
patent for an invention which he
says will take the place of steam en-
gines and electric motors. The device
is called hydraulic motor and the
principle upon which it works is the
natural law which causes lighter sub.
stances than water to rise to the sur.
face. An endless chain Of small air.
tight tanks is placed over two sprocket
wheels in such manner that on one
side it will pass upward through a
large tank OF water. As each air tank
enters the water tank from below,
through a water tight valve, it will
be forced to the surface, by the superior
weight Of the water, and in this way
the chain will be kept in perpetual
motion, revolving the sprocket wheels,
to which shafts are attached. Thus, II
the assertions Of the inventor are true
the motor will run on indefinitely with
out fuel. He says that the first cost
will be less than that of a steam en-.
CINE, while the operating expenses will
be so small that all other motive pow.
ers will be driven out OF use. Hydrau
lie motors to furnish any horse power
required can be constructed.
