While the Republican hosts have been
mOnopOlizing public attention at Chicago
the Democratic leaders have not, by any
means, been inactive. They have been
entirely engrosscd in counting up the
delegates, and arranging their plans for
ST. Louis.
In spite Of Parker's steady progress il
tie state conventions. the belief Is
growing that he may not be able TO
gather enough votes TO win the nomi-
nation, and that right there the con
vention will be deadlocked, good and
hard.
Probabilities Of this sort invariably
bring back into the Hnelght the face
Of Grover Cleveland. BY many he IS
thought TO be the only real Democratic
Moses IN sight 10 meet the emergency.

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 run
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
oils and the semi.refned or inter
mediates, as well as the ordinary re.
hned 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.
porizer, which receives a further sup.
ply OF air through 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 ignited 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 .le
ignition tube is therefore retained ct
the required temperature without the
aid OF a 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.
Asreading Of signals and failure to
tXecute them are the most potent
causes Of accidents on railways and
1t 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
