Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . e boiler is of the extendedwagon top type, with radial stays and a cost should be worth consideration. is of the opinion that alcohol,properly used, is tlic safest and mosteconomical fuel for steam and explosivemotors that can be found. From a scien-tific standpoint it cannot, be excelled. Hesays that in Moscow and St. Petersburgheavy automobile trucks, carrying loads upto four or five tons, are in constant use,their motive power being derived from al-cohol motors, and that this fuel—almostabsolutely ethyl-alcohol—can be made ac- cheap, not bulky, not normally explosive,and can be carried on vehicles withoutdanger. It can be manufactured in thiscountry, under present conditions, forabout thirteen cents a gallon—provided itsuse will be permitted. In Russia largetrucks of four and five tons are operatedat a cost of only $ a day.

So much has been faid and written re-cently about the danger of benzine andgasoline for automobile vehicles that anyother power produced at an equal or less cording to the Villon electrolytic processfor about eight cents a gallon. By thatprocess a very pure alcohol is made,chiefly from limestone and coke. Theprocess is simple, and the ingredients
