The surcharging of the steam in ths e ntal was eff-cted by a series of tates the boiler, acted Cs ca Lee heat fom furnace in Ite to the chimney, us So as regards the principle of surcharging steam with caloric fur producing motive power. * In your remarks on my invention, you attribute to me ideas for effecting saving of fuel which 1 never entertained. I have given the name of caloric engine to the invention on which I have bestowed go much time and labor, because its principle is that @ heat over and over »gain. acting or ci ig medium of ayer may be any fluid whatever susceptible eat expansion bi heat.
