Thenee it isthrown to the periphery into the quicksilver.
Tho curved plates again draw it to the center, whers it

_ It has no Cranks or Fly-Wheol, and has no dead points where it will stop, consequently it
is always ready to start without nsing a starting-bar, and does not require hand-work to get it
ast ty center. Will always start when the steam cylinder is filled with cold water of conlensation.
The trial of Steam Pumps at the Eighth Industrial Fair in San Francisco, by a Committee
of Five of the most thoroughly practical mechanics on this coast, showed the owles Pump
to lose but 1134 per cent., while others lost as high as 40‘per cent., showing great difference in
economy.
