New Oil Enoine.

A new oil engine is the recent and
fruitful development of the internal
combustion motor and its adaptation
10 the use of crude oils or oils OF
specific gravity that precludes their
use In motors of the ordinary type
Like all engines suitable for crude oil
the latest innovation has provision
Tor the injection of water into the cyl
inder before compression This has
the effect of allowing a much higher
compression without preignition than
Is ordinarily possible, and it has other
important effects. The builders say
that the water vapor prevents the de-
composition of the petroleum to an
extent, enabling the engine to rIl
long periods with crude oils without
leaving an excess of deposit on the
vaporizer's walls. 1t is not easy to
understand why water should prevent
decomposition of the petroleum The
engine works on the four stroke cycle
and uses the heavy black petroleum
ellis and the semi-refined or inter
mediates, IS well as the ordinary re-
fined lamp oil. There is a cylinder
fourteen inches in diameter, giving
forty-seven brake horse power with
horse power with crude oils. On the
suction stroke of the piston air is
drawn into the cylinder through the
main air valve, and oil is pumped
through the oil sprayer into the va
por1zer, which receives a further sup
ply of air through a shifting valve. At
the same time water is pumped
through the water sprayer and enters
the vaporizer. This charge is then
compressed, and, as the crank of the
engine passes the inner dead center,
is fgnited by the hot igniting tube.
giving the working stroke. The ex-
haust valve then opens to allow the
burnt charge to escape, completing
the cycle of operations. The ignitions
are continuous on all loads. and the
ignition tube is therefore retained ct
the required temperature without the
aid of lamp except when starting
the engine. The speed of the machine
is governed by varying the amount Ct
water and oil injected, so that on
heavy loads full charges of oil and
water are delivered. while on light
loads small charges are given.
Automatic Railway Signal.
Misleading of signals and failure to
execute them are the most potent
causes of accidents on railways and
! it has been the work of many in
ventors to lessen these dangers by
introducing automatic signals, which
shall relieve the human mind of the
responsibility as far as possible. Thus
the block systems now show signals
which are supposed to prevent the
train next following from running
into the one which has set the sig
! nal. But these signals depend on the

He Was Afraid.

In Atlanta, recently, a darkey was
leaving an opticians place with pair
of new spectacles. AS the old chap
neared the door his eye lighted upon
a most extraordinary looking instru-
ment conspicuously placed upon a
counter. The venerable negro paused
for several moments to gaze in open
mouthed wonder at this thing, then
turning to the optician he asked:
What is it, boss?' THAT is an
ophthalometer," replied the optician,
in his gravest manner. Shot" NUT
tered the old man to himself, as he
backed out of the door, his eyes still
fastened upon the curiOus-looking

How this may be done is shown in

How to Broil a Chop or Steak.

Few housewives understand the art OF
broiling. and consequently chops and steaks
are often robbed of their delicate flavor by
frying in a pan.
A steak or chop properly broiled should
have a thin, well-browned crust. Beyond
this crust the meat should be red and juicy,
hardly shade less done in the middle than
near the surface.
If the broiling is to be done on a range,
have the fire very bright and clear. Open
every draft, that smoke and flame may be
drawn up the chimney Place the piece OF
meat in the double broiler and hold it as
near the Goals as possible until the surface
is brown. turning frequently. 1t will take
three or four minutes for this. Now raise
the broler several inches above the bed of
Goals and continue the cooking until the
meat Is done.
The broiler must be turned often. good
rule Is to count ten slowly. then turn the
broiler. steak or chop cut little more
than an inch thick will cook nicely in ten
minutes. II liked well done, 1t should be
cooked for twelve minutes.
