The paeumatic motor power is a direct attempt to usurp steam in the propulsion of vessels. It is well known that the useful work performed by a steam engine represents only a part of the energy contained in the fact consumed in the boller.. In the maving steam engloe this unavail able power is nineteen times greater than the applled propelling force. To illustrate this fact an analysis of the losses resulting from 100 tons. of coal supplied to a boiler discloses the fact that forty tons are lost at the boller in consequence: of unused heat passing from the smokestack, from incomplete combustion, radiation, conduc tion and minor causes's that forty-eight tons ard lost in heat at the cylinder, which has been conducted from the live steam and the unused, and from latent escaping from the exhaust steam. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the loss from friction of engine working under full power at ses amounts to three and one-half tons, and that the average losses from power required to work air and feed pumps, and to overcome angmented resistance due to slip and friction of screw blades in 611 water, amounts to thres and one-half tons. Here, thes, avaliable fire tons. The work of propulsion, then, is the mechanical equivalent of the heat in five ions. In respect of indicated home-power, the waste chargeable to engine and screw from friction and slip is large, but viewed with

It is evident that the steam engine, regardless these conditions, inasmuch as they are enhver. sive of the method bhich the engine convers heat into power. It follows, then, that any working apparatus which fully meets the cond ilons named must differ greatly from the steam engine.
