Before I go any further I wish it to be distinctly understood thatI am not a disciple of any particular agency or design of machineby which a motive power could be produced, buthave just interested myself in the subject from mylove of machinery, and also as it appears to me thesolution of the problem is thoroughly in the handsof machine designers, as it is just a matter of by the control of mechanism some of the power-ful chemical actions whose existence is well knownto the mechanical world. As we inhabit a world ofcommerce where almost everything is a matter ofdollars and cents, our first consideration is field of selection of the most appropriate agentfor our modern motive power is at once limited,and resolves itself into the form, the greatest num-be
