The Smoke Nuisance

Not long since the Jocks ax made mention of the fact that C. W. Claybourne, passenger conductor on I[he New Monon, has invented a burner for crude oil, to be used on locqnto} tives, engines and stoves, which will npt only be a great saving in the matter of fuel, but will do away with the smoke nuisance. The device generates its own gas and experts speak highly of the fire made by it. Now a company with a capital Of *1,000,000 has been formed in Chicago for the purpose of manufacturing and putting on the market the burner. Some of the officials of the New Monon and a number of capitalists are interested. It has not been decided yet where the factory wiJJLbe located . —Delphi Journal.
