Yet with all those advantages oil fuel for ships' boiler was very little used as compared with coal. Leaving war Fossels ont of count, ol fuct was only used on shipboard in those places where the natural advantages rendered its use more economical than coal and by rostla which traded regularly to ports where supplies could be obtained. Ple ordinary cargo steamor which had took employ. mont all over the world still found co the necessary fuel. It was said that unlimited quantities of oil ware known to crist well dis- tributed throughout the tropical teriperato regions of the world, and that given a regalar and steady demand for it commercial enterprise would place ample supplies upon the market. Et might be considered that if laternal com bastion cil-burning type became common engines of the In sea going vessels, crude oil, rather than the residues from distillation, would form the major portion of the fuel employed.

If the Diesel engine was to be successful at sea it ist be in made in accordance with nuring ngino practice wherever possible. In short, the Diesel marine engine should be Diesel only as regarded the eylinders and their accessories, and should be of the ordinary marine type as regarded the rest of the engine.
And
GROWTH OF THE DIL ENGINE.
Dr. Diesel, the inventor of the system, who was received with cothusiasm, said that though the cutput of marine engines in comparison with the output of lami vagines was relatively small, he know of 250 ships which were fittasi or to be fitted with Diesel plants. The most important field had been applied by the sub marine boats, in which France took the lead somo years ago. The Diesel engine was bow almost universally adopted for this kind of ship by the Admiraltion of all nations except this country and the United States, both of which wore just beginning. (Laughter) The number of Diesel submarino boats was about 150 of from. 300 to 5,000 horse-power. In the last two the radius of action and the power of these boata Years had been so much increased that they were no longer merely defensive boats, but had become extremely daverous offensive weapons on the high seas. Also there had been made a certain number of
epseiaily foots and very small cruisers, vessels constructed had included tank bonte for the transport of oil, yachts, fighting-boots, and A special ship for a North Polar Expedition. This year began the era of the large cargo-boat. such as
as the 9.000-ton boat at Hamburg. those succeeded there would be a certain erolu. tion in shipbuilding, and the warships would follow very quickly. Already there was one battleship with Diesel engines in excention, as to which he was forbiddon to say more. He claimed that among the advantages which could be gained for warships by the adoption of internal coin. bustion engines ware that the radius of action of a man-of-war fitted with Diesel engines was such that the ship could mail all over the world, battle, and come home without Lasing Sach
