For several months these experiments have been going on, and are at last producing such results as to leave searcely any doubt of their complete success. Saturday an exhibition was given at Duval’s foundry, in Georgetown, before a company of twenty-tive or thirty mal gentlemen, engineers and journalists. The process is in brief as follows: Steam is taken from a boiler and passed by a pipe into the fire-box, where it is forced through a small iron cylinder, known as the super-heater, which increases the temper- ature of the steam to from 500 to 1,20) degrees, as may be required. Thence it passes through a pipe into a cylindrical tubular generator, the petroleum being contained im the space around the tubes, and by its ead rapidly generates the oil into a’ gaseous vapor. The capacity of the cylinder now in use is eighty gallons of crude petroleum. The gas, as fast as generated, passes into a receiver, which encloses the generator like a water jacket; thence by pipes into the fire hox of the boller, where it is introduced by jets of burners in such volume as to produce a flame ae which diffuses itself the length of a 35 feet he Commissioners = boiler, and several feet into the smokestack, | Pointed to condemn the property wanted by the with the apparatus only working at one-fourth | A-.
