Engines of the "Lenoir" type are the simplest in idea and construction; in them a mixture of gas and air is made in the cylinder during the first half of the piston stroke, air being taken from the atmosphere and drawn into the cylinder by the forward movement of the piston.

And you have been in France as well as England since I saw you last in August. I want to hear further particulars of your travels, since you say that you have more to give. They interested you very much, particularly those in France." "Very much, indeed; all the more as I acquired the language. I wrote to you that I met with Clemence de Vericourt, now Madame Lenoir."

Otto and Langen were the first to successfully overcome all difficulties and make a marketable engine of it. Their patent was dated 1866, No. 434. To distinguish it from Otto's later patents, it may be called the rack and clutch engine. The economy obtained by this engine was a great advance upon the Lenoir. According to a test by Prof.

LeNoir looked at Ranald. "What you say?" "No," said Ranald, shortly, "this is my game!" With that he turned aside from the table and spoke a few words in a low tone to LeNoir, who assisted Rouleau from the room, and after some minutes' absence, returned with a little linen bag. Ranald took the bag and began to count out some money upon the table before him.

"My lad, 'Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. It would have pleased me well, but the hand of the Lord was laid upon me and I could not kill him." "Then it is myself will kill him," he shrieked, springing like a wildcat at LeNoir. But his uncle wound his arms around him and held him fast.

We were just about to take our places when Madame Marotte seized the opportunity to introduce Müller and myself to M. Lenoir. "We have met before, Monsieur," said Müller, pointedly. "I am ashamed to confess, Monsieur, that I do not remember to have had that pleasure," replied M. Lenoir, somewhat stiffly. "And yet, Monsieur, it was but the other day," persisted Müller.

The lieutenant's second hundred with a part of Harry's and Mr. Sims's passed into Ranald's possession. Again De Lacy challenged to play. "No," said Ranald, "I have done." He put back into his linen bag his one hundred dollars, counted out two hundred, and gave it to LeNoir, saying: "That is Rouleau's," and threw the rest upon the table. "I want no man's money," he said, "that I do not earn."

LeNoir came nearer him and lowering his voice said: "I'm ver' bad man me. I lak to know how you do dat what you say forgive. You show me how." "Come to me next spring," said Macdonald Bhain. "Bon!" said LeNoir. "I be dere on de Nation camp." And so he was. And when Mrs.

There was a little dwarfish, abortive, counter bank set up at Noirbourg this year: but the gentlemen soon disagreed among themselves; and, let us hope, were cut off in detail by the great Lenoir.

Then, due to sudden demand, the Lenoir Company was formed to undertake the manufacture of these engines. It was claimed that a 4-horse-power engine could be run at a cost of 3·4 shillings per day, or just one half the cost of a steam engine using 9·9 pounds of coal per horse-power per hour.
