Mr Cross-I think the Company is to be congratulated upon the report and statement of secounts the directors have been able to put before the shareholders, but there are one or two items about which I would ask a fitto inforntation.

The Chairman-Interest has been paid upon the over-due call. Ignee to the predit of interest account
Mr Cross-it is stated that the gross earnings of the Company, were 838,017.01. Could you tell me what is the amount due from the rental of lighting alone and the amount due from the fixing of installations - I thins the amounts should be separated.

CAPTAIN Littlo. Anne. M. E. 'N. A., read a paper on petroleum tank steamers before the Liverpool Enginearing Society in their com at the Royal Institution. Commencing with a review of the petroleum trade he led up to the question of the passage of tankers. Shrough the Mara Uanali Thá physical gran perties of petroleum and the meteorologienl and climatic conditions of the Cmal and the led Sea were in turn dealt with, and Cap- tain Little showed that the region in ques- tion was, as regarda tomperature, about ne warm as New York and Philadelphia in the summer time. The questions of tempura- tare and evaporation of patroleum in tank- steamets were then touched upon, Captain Little holding that, in a well-designed vessel, the oil should never have a temperature much atare its flash point (elvse test). He proposes to check evaporation by enolasing the expansion banks in water jackets. The technical questions relating to the rivetling, plating, and subdivision were discussed, and Capt. Little spole strongly upon the necessity for better work haing pat into these vessels than was usually done. He proposes to en- eure oil tightness by using the edges of sivetted work by means of the electric are. Ventilation, ping, and the lighting of tank-steamers were also discosed, Captain Little stating that some of the worst electric light installations were to be seen on board tankers. There were really very few tankers of saciently good design and constraction for servius ia tentoaf waters. In conclusion, he stated that it was quile possible to exrry o in Bali 10 tropical Chimates with perfect safety, but this da manda good design, the best construction, and, lastly, it was dust essential that the captain should be thoroughly weli np in tcetvics petroles.
