Rumors of a big trade between the

work these deals early this week In

the fact that no suits for libel had been

BURNS WATER AS FUEL.
DECLARES INVENTOR
Philadelphia Tells Of Remark
able and "SimpIe Automatic
Mechanical Device"
FIRST GETS AT THE CHI O"
Then Combines the Gases with
Oil, Expands and Bakes

Fuel, All Ready for Use.
fRy telegraph to The Tribune. J

ny tflfSl dIH W H' iii'Nh''I
Philadelphia, June 22.-According to
Henry Clay Wade. an inventor Of this
city, water may now he used for fuel.
Paradoxical as the proposition may
seem. he asserts. the liquid which man
has always used to quench flame can
he utilized 10 produce flames, which, in
turn, are productive of heat, light and
power.
Mr.. Wade says he has discovered a
process by which the gases composing
water can be combined with carbon.
which may be supplied by ordinary
petroleum and burned so that the heat
produced by the combustion Of oil Will
be increased thrcefold Henry clay
Wade describes his invention as "A
simple. automatic. mechanical device.
Mr.. Wade's device consists Of a three
compartment tank. At one end Of the
tank is stored oil. in the middle COM
partment is an equal amount Of water
and az the other end is a compartment
for the storage OF gas. a hand pump
or compressor is used 10 supply a
pressure OF five pounds in the tank.
This raises the water and oil to the
burner. which is elevated above the
centre OF the tank.
At the bottom Of the burner is a
small cup containing alcohol which
should be ignited to superheat the de-
vice. Aftcrward. when gas is stored in
the tank. the burner may he lighted by
gas i'm place Of alcohol At the top OF
the burner the water CirculateS In a
conduit around the flame. making a
complete circuit when it becomes SUI
perheated steam. and then, passing
through an incandesccnt Gauze. is de-
composed into its elementary hydrogen
and oxygen gases.
Through another upright pipe oil rises
20 a second conduit. where il Is mixed
with the hydrogen and oxygen, and in
the flames heat becomes Gasihed. The
gas is then carried 10 an expansion
chamber. where II Is further expanded,
and is then driven into rctort and
baked TO fixed gas. BY tho addition
Of the carbon obtained from the oil. Mr..
Wade SAYS. the gas is so changed that
IL Will not return TO water and Is free
from the danger OF explosion.
