tubes lone end OF which is perforated with
holes so fine as to be invisible to the naked
eye) into a generator, composed OF hollow
iron globes These, varying in number ac-
cording to the power of the engine which is
to be propelled, form a pyramid, and are at
tached to each other by iron tubes. The
water in being forced from the reservoir
through the perforated tubes forms spray,
and this injected into the heated generator,
is transferred into a substance which, for
want of better term, is called hydrogen
gas. This is the power which is harnessed
and applied to the piston of the engine.


While water is known to be composed of
two elements Hydrogen and oxygenl, yet it
is claimed that the gas which is produced by
forcing the spray of water into the heated
globes or generator is not hydrogen, as the
iron would not be able to withstand the
action of that substance. The gas produced
by the method described has not yet been
analyzed and 1--WE are really" said Mr.. l..
Montgomery Bond yesterday, using power
the real nature of which has not yet been
ascertained."


During an experiment by Bradley's new
process of producing this dry vapor or gas
half barrel of water was consumed, and not
the least trace of the vapor could be discov
cred on the window glass. The speed OF the
machinery driven by this power is regulated
by the supply of water forced into the gen.

is claimed for it that it will only require
One-fourth the amount of coal that is con-
sumed in running an ordinary steam engine,
TO say nothing of the saying OF labor, as in
case of ocean steamships, where large force
is required in the fire room.


In making trip of ninety-hve miles few

half bushels of coal were consumed. Then
there is economy in space, no p nderous boil
ers being required TO supply the engine with
steam. 1t is asserted also that no explosions
can result from the use of the new power.

Mr.. Bradley is a native of Maryland, and
he is now residing at Preston, in Caroline

strongly welded to his wonderful enter

with his ministerial labors in the Methodist
Episcopal church. He is an able and an
eloquent orator, and discharges the duties
of his ministerial office purely for the love
of the work. and without salary Since re-
alizing the fulfillment of his hopes in the

THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN ENG


We call the attention of our readers to the
following leading editorial in the Rock,
which is a most influential exponent of
evangelical opinion in the established church
of England.


DR.. GREGG AND THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL


CHURCH.


The attention of the bishops IN convoca-
ton has been directed to the new ''schism"
which the action of Dr. Gregg and his fol-
lowers has forced into public prominence.
The Episcopal bench in spite of the avowal
made by one or two of their lordships, is
evidently alarmed by the movement. What
ever they may think about DR.. Gregg him
SELF there can be no doubt whatever that
our Anglican bishops are far from feeling at
their ease with regard to his doings. His
new position and functions occupied a con
siderable amount of time and thought dur
ing the debate in the upper house of con
VOCATION and however the bishops may
seek to disguise their real anxiety, it can
not be doubted that there is good reason for
it. The protest of their lordships against DR..
Gregg is strangely inconsistent with their
connivance at tle ritualistic heresy, which
has been mainly, if not exclusively, the sole
ground for this new departure Admitting
for argument sake, that the Greggltes are
heretics, surely the Puseyites are still greater
offenders in that respect. And yet DR.. Pusey
is beiauded to the skies by Mr.. Gladstone,
and so far as We know, not a single bishop
has thought it worth while to bring the
popery loving doctor before the bar OF con-
vocation. Bishop Gregg states plainly
enough that he was driven out OF the estab-
lished church because of the ritualistic ex-
cesses practiced by an extreme party IN our
communion. Conscience, and not caprice,
has actuated the new bishop to set up re-
formed church by himself, and those who
desire with him to worship God in spirit and
in truth. He has a perfect right to do so if
he thinks proper and he is not In any way
Obliged TO ask permission OF his late diocesan
To take this step. The bishops also have an
undoubted right 10 dispute his claims Their
lordshlps, however, would find it very
hard matter to establish their own In an un-
broken succe ssion from the apostles. Arch





diyines that ever appeared In the English
church, has said that sit is the
height of presumption for anyone to
put forward the doctrine of the necessity
of apostolical succession in its modern sense
as principle of our church, and stigmatize
as disloyal members and false brethren all
who doubt or deny that doctrine" That
seems to be the point which most exercised
the minds of the bishops the other day in
convocation. DIR. Gregg is not in the line of
their succession. He stands aloof from their
authority. He is a solitary stone of witness
for the Gospel OF Christ and, for these and
other reasons, their lordships pronounce
him hereto, and seem quite disposed to
deal with him as a heathen man and pub
lican. The fact, however, stands clearly re-
vealed, that the bishops themselves have
''nursed the pinion that imp PEELED the steel"
Unquestionabiy they have not done their
duty in the ritualistic heresy. Long ago,
had they but had the heart to do so, they
might have stamped it out; and even now,
though Irreparable mischief has been done,
it Is not too late to put 1T down, If only their
lordshlps were really in earnest. The bishop
OF Peterborough frankly admitted that the
Greggite ''schism'' has been cansed by ritual
