by which this vapor can be produced.
‘‘When 1 talk to the scientists about,
a pressure of 10,001) pounds to the square
inch they are incredulous, but I have
seen it at 16,500, and l have weighed it,
so that 1 know there is no mistake. We
are now hav in" a gunge made by which
we can weigh up to 50,000 pounds. Uuc
of the difficulties in our w.vy has beeu ’
that we have not yet hajullod the thing
at the great pressures at which it can be
used. It- takes time to make ali the ex
periments needed, and, although we are
pursuing them as rapidly as possible, we
cannot do everything in a day. Wt have
use,l it up to 1(4,500 pounds pressure,
and e go ; ng on as fast as wo can.
There is one hindrance. We do not
know what we can cover with bur letters
patent. We can not, of course, cover a
natural law by ;i paten 1 ., and what we can
cover we must, describe so fully that any :
person expert in such matters can do the

that be may know when and how he in

mains that, when a boiler explodes

on the sudden liberation of the steam,
and it is this, which causes the damage

to gunpowder, ft is well understood
that the force of the gases generated by
the explosion of powder lessens as the
ball travels on its wny through the bar
re-, anil that if tho barrel were long
enough, a partial vacuum would be
found behind the ball. The study of the
subject bos led to the experiment of ex
ploding three or four cartridges in suc
cession bellic.d the bail as it travels
through the barrel. By this means a
tremendous impetus can be given to the
ball, as has been repv.idediy dem . nitra

mentality of Mr. Charles B. Collier,
who is now one of four men who know
what the motor it. The four are Mr.
Keely, his workman, Beckel. Mr. Collier
and myself. After this stock company
was organized it wits resolved to olfer a
limited amount of Use st< >ek for sa!e.
The amount was fixpil at 350.000
worth, anti 1 ottered to take it ail mr
self. This was, Imwcver, objected to, as
there ware other parties who wanted to
bny stock, and i: was thought, not beat
for one person to have more, than a lim
ited amount. Another company has
been organized iu Nev. I'lngland, which
has purchased ihe privilege to buy the
patent for the six New Kngland Strips.
They have paid t.he first installment of
the purchase money for the privilege,
which is 351 t,iif)o, and they have two oth
er payments to make of the •••:!:«• amount.
When these are paid, they will have the
