that it might be successfully used in vessels specially arranged for the purpose. Among the advantages of oil furt are the immense ving in storage room and in weight canted, decrease In dumber of stokers needed, and the fact that a given weight of oil will make nesily twice as much steam as the satic wiight of cost In addition is the absence of smoke, and saving of time and labor in cleaning grates and disposing of ashes. Among the disadvantages are the danger of explosion, the cost of the oil and the Jack of supply staticns for our war vessels abroad...
The list of advantages and disadvantages soum to be in favor of the former. The dangers of explosion might be greatly reduced, and the cost seems to be more than counterbalanced by the saving in room and labor. As far as supply stations are concerned, the same objection can be made with regard to coal. For was ressels, where coal is not so great an object is with commercial vessels, the possibilites that all offers are manifestly many. Yet there is still A element of uncertainty that leaves the matter one of experiment. But it ought not to remain there. Enough of advantages are promised to warrant thin risk and, expense of several trials, and it is expected" that these will be made, if not by, our own govern- ment, then by England or Russia, If all should come into use as a substitute for coal in war vessels, its use for fuel in commercial vessels will undoubtedly follow-New York Maritims Registar

Steam-pipes have been made in England from the samic fiber.

this device.
*The high price of coal on Mexican railroads has resulted in the adoption of a novel type of compound engins on locomotives. The high- pressure cylinder is contained in the low-pressure cylinder, and a saving of 26 per cent in coal is obtained with only a little focrease in weight....
