SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The Diesel oil engine, now well
known where large oil engines can be
used, differs from other internal COM
bustion motors in having no vaporizer.
no ignition devices, and in operating
without explosion. At the charging
stroke the engine draws in air only;
the next stroke congresses 1t to 500
pounds per square inch. raising the
temperature to about 1000 degrees,
then Jet of oil is forced In by air
at still higher pressure. and the air In
the cylinder is hot enough to cause
1t to burn at once. In place Of the
sudden explosion Of gas there Is sim.
ply the steady burning of the oil as
long as 1t Is injected. The engine
was designed for running on cheap
oils. and quite recently, since the Ger
man patents expired, even tar.oil has
been employed. One Of the tar.oil en-
gines is Of 4,000-horsepower. In the
last year or two the German expert
menters have gone still further and
have tried raw tar with such success
that early extensive use Of tar as .
motor fuel is predicted. The tests have
been made with 100-horsepower en-
gine. using both thin gas-retort tar and
thick coke-oven tar. A small amount
Of light oil has been used to aid igni-
ton, but the engine has run on tar
alone, of widely different quality.
There was no fouling or interruption.
The tar fuel is said to cost 18 per
cent less than tar.oil. and less than
half as much as paraffin or kerosene
oil.

a new suggestion that, besides correct
amounts Of protein. carbohydrate and
