last Annual Encampment, received Il
grand reception upon his return to his
home in Rochester, n. H. Sampson
Post. assisted by Sampson Relief Corps
Charles w. Canney Camp, Sons of Vet
Grams, and the Mayor and City authori-
ties. met him at the depot and a pro-
cession was formed to Grand Army
Hall. where, after speaking, fine col
lation was served by the Relief Corps
with the Sons of Veterans as walters.
Comrade Warren was born in Roch-
ester, n. H, Sept. Is, 1915; enlisted
Aug 1, 1862, in the 9th n. H., and a
few weeks later was in the battles of
South Mountain and Antietam. He fol-
lowed the fortunes of the Ninth Corps
through Fredericksburg to Vicksburg
and East Tennessee, and then returned
to the Army of the Potomac, where he
was captured at Spotsylyania and sent
to Andersonville. He was also at Flor
ence, and reached our lines at Whining
ton. He was Orderly-Sergeant of his
company for the last year of the war.
Comrade Warren holds five commits
sions as Postmaster of Rochester from
Presidents Hayes. Arthur, Mckinley
and Roosevelt, and has also served
three terms in the New Hampshire Leg
islature.

THE PRODUCER GAS ENGINE.

The remarkable development in pro-
ducer gas engines in Europe continues
unabated, and all the leading engineers
predict the near arrival of the time
when the present steam engine will be
as archaic as the old treadmiil, and
competition will be between the turbine
engine and the gas producer engine.
There is one great disadvantage con-
nected with the gas producer engine.
and that is that when it is once started
it must be kept running until it is
definitely stopped. Therefore, for en-
efnes of less than 200-horsepower al
reversing gear is provided, so that in
place of stopping the engine it is made
to run backward. In the larger engines
compressed air is employed, so that
they can be stopped and started again
without great difficulty. The smaller
powers are able to run without water
cooling of the cylinders. and this OBJ
tains to as large engines as those hav-
ing pistons of 20-inch diameter and
two-foot stroke, making easily 100
horsepower. Beyond this it is neces-
sary to have water-cooled pistons and
rods, but this difficulty is being over
come by ingenious appliances. There
are now very many engines of from
$50 to 400-horsepower running reeu-
larly in London. from Monday morning
to Saturday afternoon. without Il stop
There are instances of engines running
81 days without stopping, though that
class of engines require more cleaning
and adjustment than steam engines.
Engines of 500. even 1000. horsepower
are now building in England for marine
use, and a 7,000-ton cargo steamer is |
under construction. 1t is calculated
that the use of gas engines will not only
enable her to be run on about half the
coal cost of steam, but it will also give |
her 13, 900 additional cubic feet of cargo |
space. |
