Auburn, June 12. -After seventeen years of persistent labor involving an expenditure of over $30,000 William N. Whipple of Locke, Cayuga county; thinks he succeeded in producing a rotary engine which will revolutionize the world,, so far as steam engines are concerned. Mr. Whipple 1) s invention, so the experts say, is not the idle dream of an enthusiast carried into execution, but the mature result of years of careful study and the application of certain unerring principles which have never before been adopted by steam engine builders, yet which are so simple that one wonders why these ideas have remained undeveloped until this late day. Why should it be left for William Whipple of Locke to solve a problem which has wrecked not only the fortunes, but the reason of countless thousands of men,, is a question which excites wonder. It is said that in the United States patent office alone are registered over 8,000 rotary engines. In England, France and Germany the number of patents covering rotary engines is estimated at 12,,000. It will, therefore, be seen that the idea is not original with the Locke inventor, even if the correct principles of it are. The good people of Locke are much interested about Mr. 'A%pple's invention and scarcely nothing else is talked about around the village stores.
