It must be appreciated, however, In this connection that it is not the economy of oil firing that makes it attractive, but, certain compensating advantages that are given to ships, such as quickness In loading, making several more journeys a year posalble, which compensates for the extra expense. of storage of heat units in a given From the point of view, however,

The advent of pulverised fuel Introduces a method of burning coal in a much more efficient way. In the generation of electricity, I not suppose any Arst-class would be installed at the present moment with anything but a pulverised fuel installation. Here, a new use for smalls is introduced, and a high ash content is not the disadvantage that it would be if burnt in the ordinary way. The prevailing practice of pulverising coal just before combustion is, as far as one can say, the principle
developed commercially at the pre- sent time, but it is only by pushing the system to its logical conclusion that real advantages from the point of view of modern consumption can be obtained.
