A patent was recently issued by the United States patent of fice at Washington, D. C, to S. E. h'ockeudarfer aud R. 1). Hunter, of Hollidaysburg, for a rotary steam engine, ' which, its inven tors predict, is destined to revol utionize the the manufacturing of steam engines. .The inventors have a complete working model of the engine, which by practical test gives double the power from the same amount of steam as tho ordinary, reciprocating type of engine. It is very simple in con struction, having a reversing at tachment for making the engine, there are ordy three parts in ac tion, while iu motion, and con sequently a high rate of speed may be attained aud there is no working against back pressure, as in the present type of engines. Another big advantage is tho fact that this engine uses one-half loss steam than any other steam en gine iu existence to obtain the same amount of power, which of itself is an important item in the saving of fuel aud boiler space. The inventors have taken the speed at 4,500 revolutions per minute aud claim that engines of this kind can bo run for practi cal purposes at from 1,000 to 2, 00" .revolutions per miuute. Messrs. Kochendarfer aud Hunt er anticipate a market for their engine aboard pleasure boats aud oceau crafts. si:i:n wiiicA i Oni! hundred bushoU of clmii'ii Kl'linklia wheat for Milo I'henp.
