liam Myers, we'll known 70 the oil men
in this vicinity. having been connected
with the nitroglycerin business for sew
eral years, but now located at Bowling
Green, Ohio, says he has invented an
engine which win reyoIutionfze the ques-
tion Of artificial power
The machine is very much Hike a gas
engine, with the exception that it runs
by nitreglycerin instead of gas.
The engine is SO built that a minute
quantity of nitrogIyceriH is exploded in
the cylinder OF the machine, and like ex-
ploding gas, forces The piston rod to move.
The power of this machine would be
limited only by the strength of its
mechanism, pistons, as the awful force
of nitr0gIyceFin When harGessed and put
to work in the cylinder of an engine would
be beyond conception.

COPPER MARKET.

The fact that the month of June last
broke all records for output Of copper
from the mines and shelters, has
caused a renewed discussion Of the
copper market. The aggregate produc-
ton of the metal last month was 26,-
74O tons (of 2,240 pounds each) against
5,703 tons in May, and 2z,40 in June.
1901. The financial reviews agree in
the conclusion that there is an immedi-
ate prospect of an advance, and on the
other hand a further decline Is not
locked for. The market is practically
dominated by the so called copper
trust-the Amalgamated Copper com
pany, and comments on the situation
are based upon the business and policy
Of that company.
