and that though it is of $50 /
horse power, its space on the floor is but
six by eighteen inches, aud that it is
less than eighteen inches high 1t is
doing the work with about half the
steam necessary for the generation Of
the same power in any Of the high class
engines OF the day.
Brambel himself has tested his en-
giue at high speeds and in every way he
could in the country districts in Mime
sofa He has coupled it direct to cream
cry separators. which are run mp to
$500 revolutions per minute, and it
worked perfectly. 1t has run circular
saws up to 1900 revolutions per minute,
and all sorts OF small machinery includ
ing machine shops, elevators, hosting
works, boats and the like. The engine
Is made straight running and reversible,
and can be either simple, compound or
triple expansion. When the latter it is
estimated that it will generate from 80
to co horse power from the steam from
20 horse power boiler. To compound
the engine it is only necessary to eX-
hanst the steam into chest, lead it to
second set Of recc8ses in the periphery
Of the piston and use it over again there;
to triple it, second chest and third set
Of rec sses are cut in the periphery of
the piston.
1t is hard to tell what the possibii
ties of this engine are if it does what is
claimed for it, 1t Will reduce the weight
Of machinery by nine tenths and of
boiler one half. Coal capacity need not
be more than half what it is now, and in
great battleships the engine weight
may be taken for more armament or
more armor. 1t will simplify the prob.
lem Of small power plants in factories,
located just where they are to be used,
and will save vastly in steam and super
| intendence
Between the time of his leaving Sian-
eatles and his settling IN Sleepy Eye
Brambcl found opportunity for extend
ed travel. He has been in Alaska and
has Travelled across from the Lower Yu-
kon river to the Lower Mackenzie, a
than half dozen white men, ana most
Of them employees of the Hndson Bay
company. He made this trip twelve
years ago, and proposes to make it again
If he is able. He has shot musk OK and
reindeer in the barren grounds of the
Northern Canada territory; has hunted
wild fowl In that most prolific of all
waters, the Dauphin Lakes, north of
Manitoba; has seen the midnight sun at
the mouth OF the Mackenzie; has hunt
ed the Cheetah in India aud has fished
along the Amazon and OIinOco. His
tales of his travels and hunting expedi
! tious are most interesting, and his tro
phies from all aver the world are enough

1t is SAID that the inventor has moi
adeany 4tinte plans for tho future;
at least he will not disclose them. Al
last accounts he was attending TO his du
ties as station agent and teIegrapher as
if nothing had happened. Brambel't
mail, since the Lews of his wealth got
abroad, has been something out of al
precedent in the region where he now
dwels All the beggars in the worlC
have written to him, and most of then
twice Al least that is his idea of il.
The village post master has wept tears
of bio ID, aud has had to hire assistanc,
in the task Of handling the mail of hlt
distinguished fellow citizen
Its the hardest thing I've had t.
bear in a long tlmo" said Brambel a few
days ago, that can't even answer al
these letters. They nre enough to NOV
any heart to pity. Bat, Of course, th
task Of even reading them would b.
more than | could undertake. New
