has recently tested, with remarkable
results, method of increasing the
efficiency of steam engines, which was
invented by two Germans some ten
years ago, but has only now been eff
fectively applied. The principle de-
ponds upon the employment OF the
exhaust steam from an ordinary COM
pound engine to evaporate another
liquid having lower boiling point
than water. The liquid used is sui
phurous acid. The heat of the exhaust
steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dioxide gas, and this. passing into tho
cylinder OF an auxiliary engine, acts
the part of steam. II Is afterwards
condensed and goes back to the vapor-
izer. The result is said TO be that

engine, without increasing the con-
sumption of fuel

Enthusiastic Reception In New Yorl
City,

new YOrk
City.
NEW YORK, Oct 27.-There was a
great demonstration last evening in hon.
or of Theodore Roosevelt, who arrived at
$500 p. m. from Albany. Over 10000
men paraded to Madison square, where
the governor spoke in the Garden. There
was a wonderful display of fireworks.
The governor left Syracuse in the fore
noon, and his itinerary for the day includ-
ed Little Falls, Amsterdam, Schenectady
and Albany. The stop at Little Falls
was, however, cut out.
Although the elements had all day been
threatening to play havoc with the plans
arranged by the Republicans of New
York county, particularly with regard to
the outside arrangements, the reception
of Governor Roosevelt, candidate for vice
president, was carried out in Madison
Square Garden to the accompaniment of
tumultuous ovation, which at times
fairly made the rafters of the mammoth
amphitAeater vibrate.
Although the time set for the great
demonstrations o'clock-was an hour
earlier than that of the welcome accorded
Mr.. Bryan little more than week ago,
throngs pressed into the famous arena as
soon as the big doors swung open, and
from then until the moment General
Greene called the vast assemblage to or
der there was one steady, pushing stream
of eager humanity, all striving to find
a point Of vantage.
Governor Roosevelt spoke for exactly
80 minutes. He Immediately left the Gar
den for his sisters home. General Greene
next introduced Charles S. Fairchild, for
mer secretary of the treasury under
Cleveland's first administration, who met
with a fattering reception. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. B. b. Odel, Jr., candi-
date for governor.
There were Is separate and distinct
parades and all were together at Madi-
son Square Garden, marching to a COM
mon center from the uttermost parts of
the city.
With a multitude so vast as this the
singing of ''The Star Spangled Banner"
and america" was a remarkable fea
ture.
There were 500 trained singers and AZ
military bands in the musical exercises
outside the Garden. On each of two spe-
cial stands 100 of the trained singers
were placed, and the others were divided
up among the other stands to direct the
people in the rendition of the two nation
al hymns. :.
The vocal music was led by Frederick |
G. Ellenberg of $40 East Bighty-sixth |
street and the instrumental music direct |
ed by George L. Humphrey, ban5master
of the Seventh regiment. Bandmaster
Humphrey assembled to the searchlight in
the tower of the Garden and led the sing
ing of the vast assemblage by means Of |
the wave of light instead of baton.
