Wonderful Oil Motor.

Oscar B. Ostergren, of Brooklyn,
the designer of Charles R. Flint's
fast yacht the Arrow, and also the
designer of fast tordepo boat de-
stroyer and the holder of many pa
tents, has invented an oil motor
which will accomplish wonders if it
comes up to the expectations of the
inventor. The invention is a cycle
engine and gets power stroke of
the piston for every revolution of the
shaft, being so adjusted that it is i'm
possible to get back explosion, be-
cause the fuel is fused in at the prop
er moment and not before. AS re-
suit of these conditions, the inventor
says, it is possible to reduce the wat
er jacket on the cylinder and run the
engine without water cooling appli-
ances. The oil is taken in at the top
of the cylinder, vaporized, and its
consumption is said to be only one
half pint of oil an hour for each
horsepower.
The motor is self starting and OPP
crates without spark. The inventor
explained that the most important
features of his machine were in the
construction of the piston and the
introduction of air and the cleaning
of the piston in such way that all
dead gases are thrown off prevent
ing-back explosions. The oil is con-
denied by coil through the exhaust
heating it to high temperature be-
fore it is indicted into the top of the
cylinder.
The advantage claimed by Mr.. Os-
tergren for his new invention are as
follows: Will revolutionize ocean
traffic and do away with coaling sta
tons, enable automobiles to go 80
miles an hour as easily as they now
go 20, send fast express trains from
New York to San Francisco without
taking on fresh supply of fuel, give
street cars extra speed, with noise
less, odorless engines, at greatly re-
duced expense, and eventually sub
stitute waterless, boilerless engines
everywhere for steam and make cheap
fuel oil take the place of oil.

Senator Rison said the board of

FELT LIKE THIRTY c,<N1S.
How Current SIang PHASE Started
or it, Travels


on IT. Travels.
The origin Of slang has always been
a puzzle to philolOEists but once in a
while a current phrase can be traced
70 its sCurce. The colluqualism ITO
feel like thirty cents" is apparently
nonsensical but it is certainly the
most tureefui expression OF the day for
cCnt temptible in ones own sight. It's
origin is thus explained by a Philadel-
phia lawyer. who sometimes practices
in New York:
There is a vagrant law in New
York under which person having no
visible means of support may be
placed in durance 1t has also been
decided in that state that a person
having so small sum as thirty cents
in his possession has visible means of
support Now there is no law in New
York except the vAgrant law under
which pool sellers and gamblers may
be held Shortly after the decision just
mentioned was formulated two gam
blers were captured in raid and TAX
en- to the Tenderloin station house.
They sent for a lawyer, who came and
had talk With them. 1T will never
do to make any show Of money here,
he said. Give me your rolls They
handed their wads over to him and he
gave ealh of them quarter and a
nickel, with instructions to produce
the coins when he asked them to do SO
in court.
when their cases were called the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not vagrants, each having
the legal amount of funds in his pos
session. Just as the decision was rem
dered in favor of his clients a messen-
ger entered the court and required the
lawyers presence at the Supreme
Court He left without seeiug his
clients, and they wended their way to
the nearest saloon.
