The great trouble with hydraulic engines hits thus far been tho great waste of water, and that leaking could not bo prevented, A, Chicago mechanic baa just invented an engine which, it is claimed, completely obviates this trouble, and leaves no possibility of leakage. Tho hydraulic enginoa in use at present aro maiuly mado serviceable for elevation and hoisting purposes, The new engine, oil the contrary, can bo adapted to any kind of work for which

steam lias to bo used. It consists of four cylinders, the two outer forming the engino proper, and tho inner ones forming tlio cms for tho valve-boxes. Tho valves consists of two pistons balanced-on an equilibrium and worked by two cccentrics, Tho piston-rods arc guided by a parallel motion on the top of each cylinder. Tho supply.pipo ii provided with a large air-chamber, to prevent tho pipe from bursting if the water is shut off suddenly, This engine is o'aimrd to be unequalled for simplicity, durability and economy and will, it is thought by practical' mechanician), supersede steaiu-engincs and every other power wherever tho supply and pressure of water are sufficient, It requires no engineer to work it, and it obviates all the. risks of (iro and steam. ,
