going on for the past two or three Fenra gives come indication of the difficulties, which have been erv perienced in the design and con struction of large oil engines Buitable for driving battleships.. The propulsion of large warships. by Diesel engines is at the ma ment quite out of the question. But while the marine motor is not as yet exercising, any influence. upon capital veasale, it is never- theless becoming more and more important in relation .to/ eubeldiary orbit, and its adapt ation for more important purposes is probably only a matter of time The rapidity of the progress of the aubmarine is itself a proof of the great advances that have been made with the oil engine. It my be said at the present time that the limitations of submarines depend very largely upon the limitations of the oil engines for their p pulsion. Although the size of sabmarines bas increased gre....ly 696.0.dering the past few years owing: San Francisco £45.

country, however, urgent attempts are being made to evolve suc cessful Diesel engines for sabmarine propulsion of much greater power than those which haya hitherto been employed. The output now simed at for each motor is 2,500 b.b.p., giving a total of 5,000 h.p. for the boat, with which, it is anticipated, a speed of about 20 knots on the aurface will be attained, as com pared with the maximum of 18 knots at present possible. At the same time the size of the vessels would be much increased, and it is hoped that by proper armament they would become much more important offensive weapons. Those larger engines are actually under construction and are not merely paper designs; in some cases for instance, in France-the boat itself bas actually been laid down. Too much importance, however, need not be attached to this point, as in the case of some of the earlier Frenob sab- marines it was not until some two or three years after the boat was built that the oil engines wore installed, owing to the diffi oalties that were encountered. in their construction. Bat it evident that ultimately estisfactory manner, and im there engines will be built in a
mediately this is the case, the size of the submarines and their speed will be increased consider- ably, and their advantages over the present designs will be so great as to render the existing crait almost obsolete. The oil engine is making headway in other directions than in sub- marines. Several countries have now one or two coastal defende gunboats which are driven by oil engines.
