204 [Assembly 



Then let it be further considered how much the general con- 

 venience and prosperity of the inhabitants of cold countries may 

 be promoted by the use of stame, in a manner and degree hitherto 

 unexpected and unattempted, and otherwise unattainable by the 

 present comparatively improvident use of fuel, for if the quantity 

 thereof, now daily used for domestic purposes were employed 

 to propel a small steam engine, it would be found insufficient for 

 any useful effect ; but converting steam to stame, being in fact 

 tantamount to converting one pound of fuel to four pounds, the 

 quantity now used for domestic purposes, being thus quadrupled 

 in efficiency, would be found sufficient for the production of a 

 general highly beneficial power. 



Then again comparing the peculiar properties of stame with 

 steam, each escaping from a high pressure engine, steam will only 

 boil and warm, while stame will bake, roast, boil and warm, so 

 that stame is not only four times as cheap and powerful a motor 

 as steam, but incomparably more useful, because after stame has 

 propelled machinery with fourfold effect, it will still serve for 

 every domestic purpose, and in many cases better, more conve- 

 nietly and far more salubriously than fuel, now employed tor do- 

 mestic purposes alone, and thus double the profit that has hith- 

 erto been derived from domestic fuel may thus be easily or better 

 realized. 



Every farmer may thus obtain a constant costless power for 

 performing the laborious part of his thrashing, grinding, and 

 other wearisome occupations, and while adding to his oAvn power 

 the costless willing force of a giant, his family while exchanging 

 stove heat and noxious gases for salubrious stame heat, may ex- 

 change pale faces and headaches for rosy cheeks and robust 

 health. 



The inhabitants of cities may equally obtain similar advanta- 

 ges, by similar means, and obtain an inconceivable amount of 

 costless force (and will peculiarly increase its value at home, 

 when employment is scarce and labor is superabundant,) for in- 

 numerable, ingenious and profitable purposes, and which could 

 by no other means be attempted, which costless force, hitherto
