lately brought fo a close I be extensive and
Important sria of experiments which be
has been prosecuting upon the physical
pcculiaritiae, especially the ttvvtrng powers,
of various mineral oils.' Samples from all
parts) of the world were tested, including a
Rreat variety or petroleum from Pennsylva
nia, Ohio, West Virginia, etc. Tho"lii
tng Ifect was estimated according to the
number of kilogrammes J water that cnnlri
be raised fioin gero to one decree centigrade
njr t he bent developed in burning one kilo
gramme oi on. from tins se-ies of experi
ments we learn that the oil ot greutost heat
inn power is one from Java; while next to it
conies iuh uenvy oillrom the I'liiinlner farm,
- on tbe Allegheny river, Pei sylvanlu. Iu
reference to the use of petroleum and other
minerals oils for lieatinir steam Lnllem .mi
locomotives, St. Clair Deville lias also ma le
h report, rrum the results of bis i-xperl.
ram's a I cjmotive, it is iofened that thl
problem is in u fair way of solutii.n. The Iria
was made by Seville upon locomotive en.
nines of tha ordinary pattern. several havln
teen so rrned us to penult the use of
liquid fuel, and w are now Informed that
hesu engines have discharged their regulur
lnty with the other stock of the road, pro
ducing steam in abundance, completely con
autnirig tbe smoke, and being fr?e from any
cinder or ash. Oae of the engines consum
ed about thirteen poamls of oil for every
oleveu hundred yards of distance; while
the coal burning ongines of the sane class
require for tho same work more Ihsn twenty
liotinds of solid luel: the consumntlr.n nt'nil
being only Bixly fjve per cet, of the other
waiuriai. 1
The details of udjuslment by which tbe
engines were fitted lor burning mineral oij
are too minute to be introduced here. It
will be sufficient In .sate that with new
locomotives prepared expressly for burning
oil, instead ut old ones adapted temporarily
thf iii.,tiu - J i. i
-oonomy and other conditions of success Is
nucipaiea, nun it Is protble that a large
. portion ol the service on some ol tjiu French
loads will Le iierfuimea before hag with
the liquid f.iel. Where this ou be oblain-
dat to cheap a rale as in the United
Slates its economy is kcajsely to l. ql.p
tinned, aim it would seem espvcially adapt
fd lor use on the Pacific ltallroad, where it
is of the iinnokt importance )o sec ire tbe
(jeneratioii of a given amount of steam with
the smiliest quantity of material.
