f '4 THE HONOLLXU REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. JANUARY 9. 1902 $ee4 . . : JOSEF HOFffiAN SAYS THAT E F IT IS THUS, as the poet affirms. that "the oBdewrot astronomer is and." h 1 equally convincing fa the stad of Joeef Hofmann, the leuowaed roratg pianist, that ibe ieaa who caeads his days aad Bight ta the region of sweet soanda." without the savin" grace of t bodily recreations and mental relax ations from such a constant strain.. will sooner or later become mentally anhalaaced. The Hat of rasaJcfaas who have Suae to the madhouse is soch as to appal nay youthful aspirant to honors 111 composition or the art of the rir taoso. Is 'fact, not one of the great musicians can be said to be wholly aad at all times free from any taint of insanity. Kuste and madness seem closely al lied. Being a tanguare of the paa alons. an emotional vernacular, taking j) the thread of thought into the higher regions when mere words hare frown Inadequate, constant pursuit of this mysticism has driven thous ands to the asylum. And. now that the stress of competition for the world's honors and applause was nev er so great, the danger of succum bing to some malady of the kind is greater than erer. But Josef Hofmann is a man first aad a musician afterward. Wonder- fol as a performer, technically per fect, and with a keen appreciation of the spiritual significance, be is yet , enough of the earthy to appreciate a I so that there is something ia music ' besides counterpoint and harmony; ' that good red blood and a sound di geatiofl are just as essential to high artistic achievement as a master' of thorough bass, and that the anaemic school of music is on the wane. Relaxation in An Automobile. With this natural desire to vary the musical grind with things muscu lar and recreative, Mr. Hofmann takes to athletics. His latest lore is the automobile, and while on his pres ent tour through the United States his first command upon entering a, city Is that an electric automobile be placed at his disposal for a run -about now and then at pleasure be tween long and tedious hours of prac tice and the more tedious recital. Not only das Mr. Hofmann become an expert chauffeur, but he has also Invented two variations of motive power which threaten to revolution ise the art of automobile making. Patents have been issued In for eign countries on these valuable in ventions, and the pianist's first en terprise upou arriving here in Am erica, a short time ago. was to place his application with the Patent Ofilce at Washington. Mr. Hofmann's at torneys are of the opinion that he has made improvements on present modes that will serve to make auto mobtllng safer and swifter than ever before. Ia commenting upon his inventions aad his love fcr the sport. Mr. Hof mann grows enthusiastic. "All my musical friends take to sport of some Mud or other, with one or two ex ceptions. I may sav; particularly those of the younger school." he said. "You know that M. de Keszke makes horses his special study and delight when not at work in grand opera, and has Indeed made quit? as much money s In liurope running a stable as he has achieved ia music r friH nf vllo ' 3?r-..G.!"r?'.T'r,f"1.. "? fame, la an all around athlete, parti etilarly partial to the electric tricy cle. He had one recently built of, eight horse power, capable of terri J fie speed, and holds prizes in con teat of this order. "M. Paderewski is fond of sport. but his penchant taks a milder form. He Is very clever at billiards. D'Al bert Is partial to the bicycle and has taken some long Journeys on the Con tinent with congenial company. Ros enthal takes to Indian clubs, dumb bells and that sort of exercise, while Levtane is an all around gymnast aad has taken prizes in athletic tourn-' aments. You perceive that I am by ao means alone in my predilection for things sportsmanly to alternate my musical work. Gasolene and Steam Combined. "Naturally, when one Is so enthu siastic about a sport he sets his in veative talent to work in the manner af possible improvement While he Ic Improving himself he feels it more . or less incumbent upon him to im-1 prove the sport itself so far as he may. "I discovered that, whereas gaso-' leae was the most available power tor automobile, it is also the most dangerous, and that, while electricity is least dangerous, it is not so speedy. aor has k the enduring powers of the . 1 vt nirv unvo "My invention combines gasolene aad steam in a peculiar way. While gasolene is used, k is not a primary ' power. It is used to generate a high steam power, which steam is itself the motive power of the vehicle. Again, ia the ordinary steam boiler the heat surrounds the coils of pipe containing the water, whereas in my invention the heat passes through the colts by an iaaer tube, the heat thus , working from the centre outward. "Gasolene exploded through these toner tubes creates a tremendous heat. and the water which surrounds them, confined in thir outer pipes, gen erates a terrific steam pressure, in stantly, recuperative and even. Thus. . with a single charging of gasolene an occasional 6tops for water on the route I can make the tour from Paris to Berlin without the usual inconve- alence of hunting up establishments ' where this fuel is s Id.

All this will do much to make automobiling in America a sound and practical sport." Mr. Hofmann's Inventions. This detailed description of Mr. Hofmann's inventions is furnished by one of bis attorneys: "Mr. Hofmann's motor for antomo-' biles and other uaes relates to that class of motors, not as yet common. : In hich an expansive motive fluid le nrrutnrAW fir nsu in fho mfttftr nf the steam engine type by means of ( the combustion of an explosive mix- f ture and the combination of the hot ( gaee of such combustion with water, ' which Is thereby converted into aque-, oup vapor "The important feature of Mr. Hof-' mann's Invention lies in th? fact tiuit he constructs the apparatus so that the whole heat and force of the pro ducts of combustion will be utilised in their primary function cf combin ing with the water to produce the ex-' pansive fluid in the form of aqueous Aapor to be used In the motor. "The explosive action takes places very much as In an ordinary gas en gine, but the force of the explosion Is not expended in actuating a pibton, as is the case in a gas engine. Such explosive action is used for another purpose namely, to carry the gases of combustion to combine with the water to form the aqueous vapors, which are then used In the motor. ' "The hot gases of combustion ex change heat with the less hot water. ' and the latter is converted into steam. which, mixed with tlfe cooled gases, furnishes an expansive motive fluid very suitable to operate motors of the steam engine type for automobile or other uses. "Mr. Hofmann's invention embodies a valuable idea in that it insures a more direct and complete utilisation of the fuel than with the use of the inefficient steam boiler. On the oth-' er hand, his invention gives to an au- i tomobile the smooth running quali ties of a steam engine instead of the Jerkv and noisy action of a gas en gine. Achievements in Chemistry. "Mr. Hofmann. besides being versed in mechanics, has devoted much study to the subjects of chemistry and elec tricity, and he has made practical in ventions in those lines. One of these inventions, which he has patented in the United States and in different oniur,es OI ine wonu- re,ates w a ot regenerating the lead per- countries 01 the woriu. relates to a oxide electrodes of accumulator bat teries. "One of the methods of genera ting or recharging, chemically, such electrodes heretofore attempted to be , used, ha? been by the employment of the hypocloriies. such as chloride of lime. That was disadvantageous, be cause during the oxidation of the elec trode a deposit was formed, which had a bad effect, increasing the inter nal resistance of the battery, so that the electro-motive force would rapid ly diminish. "Mr. Hofmann has overcome those difficulties, tnd has demonstrated that the accumulator electrodes can be regenerated by chemical means and in a practically feasible wav. by the use of free hvpochlorous acid In solution. ! instead of the troublesome hypochlo rites. This invention may seem sim ple, but the simplest inventions are i generally the most Important and valuable." Sunlight an Old Remedy. Professor.
