AN IMPORTED PRODUCT.
Tho first and greatest advantage is
the elimination of the waste weight in
coal. Coal when It is burnt leave.; at
re main amount of ash and clinker,
which rept' seats useless weight, and
lvhioh has from tune to time to be re•
moved from tho stokehotd. With oil
there is no such w•aete material the
has to be removed.
A second point is the re:iuctron o
labor with oil fuel. hewer stoker.; are
needed, for all that is required.( i.3 to
turn on the valve which sprays the, oil
'nt the furnaces.
Thirdly. oil can be pumped from
ship W ship, and can thus be easily
transforred at sea lit any but rough
weather, whereas coaling at sea is ex-
tremely diincult and dangerous in any-
thing but a perfect calm.
The one di.sedvanlage of oil is that
it does not offer ony resistance to a
projectile. Coal, when tate bunkers are
•full, will protre,t the ship's vitals, ane
This oil fuel never can do.
The way in which the oil burnt is Hie
following: The oil, which Ls a heavy
treacly looking sluff, is sprayed with .tp(
ctlrretlt of air through burners so \
placed that the Jet.; of Ilarne front there
impinge upon fire -bricks In the furnaces
o the boilers.
011. FUEL AND TORPEDO BOATS.
All that the stoker has to do is 14
manipulate his feet and burner valves,
and the pressure of steam can be mai
tallied with, perfect steadiness amen
ease.
Oil fuel alone ie. burnt in all the thin•
ty-six torpedo boats which have bee'
recently built. or which are now heed.
Ins, for the ilrittsh navy. Ttti'falrese ves-
eels it gives excellent results.
In larger ships it has been slowly in-
troduced during the past eight year:;,
/Ind all modern British battleships mil

in addition to coal.
The oil is usually conveyed in the
double -bottoms of tiro ships. treat( h
there is some risk from fire should it
ship run aground ant have her double-
bot'ortis pierced. as in that case the ed
alight he carr'i' I up to the furnaces in
the boiler rooms, which happened in
the German battleship Friedrich i11.
The Dreadnought carries several hun-
dred tons ct oil fuel, and all the K+111;
Edward class of battleships 400 ton.;
apiece, while the largo new armored
crui.;ers have from 100 to 700 tons cacti.
TO IN('lEASE SPEED.
tt it is desired suddenly to increase
sl ee.l in one of those battleships or
icruLser3. the oil fuel is brought into
(.lay and sprayed on the furnaces
through special burner.;. In the mn-
ttneuvre; of 19u6. the ICing i:.iward class
of battleships at once drew away trent
their pursuers when they turned on
Weir oil fuel.
