GENERNTOR DOES WORK OF BOILER New Method for Production of Steam. Special Dispatch to The Call. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 1.—Scientists and engineers declare that through a wonderful invention by F. S. Smith of South Bend the mechanical engineering world is to be revolutionized, and that in the future engines will not require boilers to generate steam. Instead they will be supplied with a steam generator, an im- provement over anything in its line that the world has ever seen. The invention is the resuit of four years' study. Every expert who has seen the generator tested is enthusiastic in declar- ing the principle to be the leading me- chanical discovery of the century. The greatest advantage claimed for the in- vention is that it is non-exploding and that it is simple to operate. In the in- stantaneous vaporization of water, where- by the fluid immediately flashes into steam, the generator has decided advan- tages over the present steam engine. In contrast with the boiler, the inven- tion does away with the safety valves, steam gauges and water glasses. There is no storage of steam, as every ounce is used as fast as it is generated. Another advantage over the boller is that Smith's device is compact and requires less than half the amount of space. A great saving in the amount of fuel used is promised.
