THE GOOD SHIP "DOLIUS.""
A NEW INVENTION COMES TO HONGKONG.
(Contributed).
Almost unknown to the general public in Hongkong there was lying in the harbour, on Saturday and Sunday, a ship with an entirely new type of propelliag inschinery. It was, to all exterial ap pearances, just an ordinary vessel of the Blue Funnel line. We are so used to seeing Blue Fanne: ships in the harbour of Hongkong that we are not surprised when wit ser one arrive or depart. We should think that there was something wrong with the harbour 1. at any time, we failed to and one of the steamers awned by Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co., in port.

It is another example of the ingenuity of the inventor, striving to make use of what had previously been wasted. That idea has been behind so many of the new inventions: what were called ** whate products are now coaunercial assets of great value.

It is difficult to explain technical details without using technical terms. However, the main principles of the various ideas which are now being. "tried out at sea are no hard to understand. Most people know that the ordinary cargo and passenger ship is propelled by steam engines. Ther bave heard that the Empress and other large passenger boats are fitted with steamn turbines. In all these, ships the agent which carries the required heat to the engine is steam. Until the last few years steam was always formed in boilers by using the beat given out when coal is burnt. A feature of recent developments in marine work has been the use of what is called fuel oil". Its a thick, rather
