Word was received in New York yesterday the frst through the fire box and the auto- matic jet at the top of the fire box sprays kerosene in quantities exact- 1y syited to the amount of air that enters. ¢ This insures perfect combus- tion. The kerosene as it enters is sprayed past a spark plug which au- tomatically ignites it, making the old and objectionable “pilpt light” a enough steam for running almost im- mediately. A throttle lever placed just below the wheel on the steering post con- trols the entire forward movement of the car. There are speeds—two of them, forward and one reverse—but there is no clutch. The car starts as readily on high as on low. Engine §mall But Powerful. The engine itself is light, small and powerful.

There are no spark plugs In the cylinders, no car- bon to fou] the oil and wear out the cylinder walls and pistons. The pls- tons themselves are fitted with three rings each, which geems to offer a tactor of safety far beyond anything that is usual. - It is natural that the boiler of a steam car should attract much at- tention.

These tubes are Interchangeable. < than the ordinary car, for the front floor boards are carried ten or twelve inches farther forward than is usual in gusoline machines. The low cost of construction for the chassis makes it possible for the builders to spend much more on the finish of this steamer and still compete with low- priced cars.
