Uaaur. Tr.r. The engine, lor general use, where from one-eighth to three horse-power Is desired, is one the latest contributions to the wide-spread demand for a small inexpensive motor. Unlike the steam engine, it Las no boiler, needs no skilled attendant, has no loose working parts, slides, valves, and is entirely sale. heated air oil and is smooth and sv'ct in action.

The smaller Biz3, of 1-p norse power, has cylinders 3 -i inohth, in diameter, and is Jt! inches high. The Krgest size has 10 inch cylinders, is 1-2 feet high, and occupies a Ucor space of less than 8x5 feet. The engine consists of two cylinders, placed side by side, and Joined togijther' near the top by a targe square pipe. Each has a piston with connecting rods joining it to the crankshaft. The two cranks are set 180 apart, and an oppoafta motion is given them, that is, aa-p descends while the crthsca" aeceuda.

Both cylinders may be Cioeod and beyond the connecting rods there are no other working parts, except a small pump and the governor. Oae of the the cylinders is much larger than the other, and is provided with a jacket through which the water circulates by the aid of the pump. The smaller cylinder is placed directly over a small coal fire in a simple circular stove or lire-box. In the smaller engines the fire is replaced by a gas jet. The connection between the two cylinders consists of a small square cast-iron bos filled with thia sheets of metal sot on edge, and provided with a small air-cock on top.

Tbe action of tho engine is easily understood. The piston in the compression or cold tylinder descends and compresses the air below and around it, and under this pressure the air is la thia sheets between the. leaves the re geneivttor, or covnectiuj 6ox between the cylinders. It then enters the hot cylinder, and, under the influence of the heat, expands and drives up the piston. The pistou having reached the limit of its journey, allows the heated and expanded air to return through the regenerator to the cold cylinder.

On its padsags it parts with Us heat and enters the other cylinder, reduced in volume and temperature. Here it meets the cold jacketed v. uUs of the cylinder, and, in a thin anuulai sheet, is both chilled and compressed at th same time. On its next trip through the regenerator, it takes back Bomo of the heat it parted with on the first trip, and, in this manner, th process is repeated Onee started by hand, the engine i. ntains its speed continually.

The inly attention it demands is au occasional oiling, a Bteady fire, and a constant supply oi cold water for the pump. The cost of rum.iiig these engine? is exceedingly small, and their simplicity of construction, case of management, safoty, and silenco, will undoubtedly, make tt.eni of value to persons wishing a moderate amoiui of power.

The commonly entertained that the pud diing furnace is a recently originated device is now shown to ba erroneous Sir Humphrey Davy demonstrated, ii; i public lecture, that a flame- of ver high temperature could bo produce: which contained no free oxygen, se that bodies could bo heated in such i. flame without fear of oxidizing them, by simply limiting the supply of ai. to au abundance of fuel. A youn: man named Cort was in the audience, who caught the idea of decarbonising pig iron by allowing the flame to pla upon it without bringing it into con cract with the coal, and lor tins pur pose he devised a form of puddling furnace. Bijfore this cast iron was converted into wrought iron by blowing air through the mixture of pig iron with cha-reoal-a process so ex pensive and wasteful thai only srr.pl! quantities wore produced, and the iron was costly.
