I-EArrvo ton Kv, March 5. CAPILLARY STEAM ENGINE. Public Curiosity having been consider

ably excited resm-cting this invention.

some authentic information of its pro-

gie will dubtles be acceptable to out readers.

An engine calculated for a four horse nower his beem completed and put in

o'.iralion. Upon trial, however, it was

found to have defects, both in the plan end work manship, which it is nece ssary.

to remove, bctore a decisive experiment can be made. A new mode of obtaining a rotatory motion was adopted, which

was thought, in the manner it was executed, to be disadvantageous; being attended not only with much difficulty in

w irking the valves, but also with considerable ioss of power. The force pump

was also found to be detective: it had been

calculated to work according to the pun

cinles laid down in the books on steam;

but on trial, it was proved to be incapa-

b e of supplvi.ig the generator witli w-a-t r t nou ii h for hierh steam, the doctrine

of the books on his point being extreme-

ly erroicous r o n these det cts, tne

engine could not be worked with nigh steam, so as tory its powers effectually.

No difficulty or incompetency has yet

b;en discovered in the generator, which is the nrincinal part of the invention

An ingenious and enterprising manif ;cturer in Nicholasville, is going to

make the necessar y alterations in this en p-iin-. and apply it to the spinning of cot

ton. We shall consequently know, in a

few weeks, how it succeeds, lor the ordinary purposes of steam power. The invtntor is confident from all his experiments, that it will answer for any u-c, to which steam power ca.i be applied; that its advantages will be, cheapness in the first cost, economy of tuel to the greatest

extent of which steam will admit; and

aoove ail, meat lightness and compact

juss. The engine which has been built,

does not weigh more than i20lbs. ar.u u

susccpnb'e of being built with still great er lightness, for a four horse power, in

eluding both fuel and water. Thetecan

consequently be no doubt of i's applicability to the propelling of wagg ns on

railways and turnpikes, and steam-boats

on our shallowest nvers.

The inventor is entirely confident, that its tightness will admit of its employment

in arial nav-amn. An serial apparat-

us was partly constructs d and applied to the eneine that has been built; but the

want of hinds to complete it, the defects

in the emrme already mentioned, a behcl

' 3 tint abetter plan for that use can be a-

d uited have conspired to prevent a lull

experiment in that way: and it is feared,

th.il the want of funds will essentially retard the inventor in his endeavors to hring Ids improvement to perfection. But the improvement in the generator is of imrn use importance Rcfior'tr.
