NON-INFLAMMABLE FUEL.
A demonstration has just been given in Paris of the non-inflammable qualities of a motor spirit invented by a Russian engineer by name of Makhonine. This spirit has been made for several years though it is not yet on the market for private consumers. But it is being sold to largo consumers, such as the French aviation service and for ocean liners. It is said that it will soon bo available for private motorists in France. It can be psefl on an ordinary car bv a slight alteration in the adjustment of the carburettor. It is made in part from heavy oils and partly from coal. The cost is 20 per cent, less than that of petrol, and the consumption, it is stated, is 40 per cent. less. It will not take fire after being warmed in the car in the course of use. It will resist the appli cation of a white hot iron.
