The Gas Motor.

In these days OF rapid progress I'm every

has not been neglected. and is now a
very different thing 20 what 1t was "A

cipe and supply mechanically perfect
machine In every way calculated To meet
the daily needs Of all users OF power
They are being rapidly introduced i'm
Europe and America. In Germany. espe-
cialy. the installation OF gas engines has
been most marked. According to Herr
Oechelhseusen. director of the Deutsche
Continental Gas Cesselschan at, Dessau.
Berlin, Germany, has one gas engine IN
use To every 1890 OF population Stug-
gart. one 10 every GoO people. and I'm the
cities OF Saxony. one TO every 200 people
In England gas motors have long held
a warm place I'm the esteem of the people
and I'm many cities ana towns OF Great
Britain are found equal results to those
OF Germany. The United States Is rapidly
following the example OF foreign coun-
tries and pss motors promise TO equal
and possibly surpass their use abroad
This remarkable result is due TO the fact
that gas engines have been brought 90
the high state OF proficiency. and the
price of gas has been largely reduced
and American manufacturers are begin
ming 10 appreciate their advantages
When power user can have all the
