The Use of GasOiue for Power Purposes.

AT the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century we find gasoline
even in its infancy threatening
to supersede coal as a producer
of motive power, light and heat.
AS a competitor of steam it has
already supplanted its old aud
well-tried rival in the smaller
units, especially in marine use,
and we daily note its adoption
in new fields. Unlike mauy
producers of power which have
appeared in the past two de-
cades. it has universally proved
a commercial success to what
ever purposs adopted. AL
though most people have some
idea in a vague way of what
gasoline really is, few under
stand Its true composition.
Without entering into a detail
ed description of the process of
producing it, we can perhaps
best explain to the layman that
it is product of crude oil, or
petroleum, obtained during the
process of distillatiou. In re-
dining the crude petroleum we
extract different grades of oils
in their turn, aud 10 this pro-
cess we come to the lighter and
more volatile products knows
as gasoline. naphtna, and ben
zine, the difference being but a
few degrees in their specific
gravity.
In the use of gasoline for
power purposes we have to EN-
ploY mechanical means to con-
troll and covert its energies,
thus, we have the motor known
as the gas. or gasoline engine.
The gasoline engine as now
made is an adoption of the
steam engine, employing the
gas produced oy gasoline as a
means of energy. Contrary to
he general understanding, the
gas or gasoline engine is out a
lIgh-pressure caloric motor.

the highest yielding varieties,
Fultz wheat was used as a

every third plot was pla ID to
