OIL USED AS FUEL ON SHIPS.

 perimenting with It.
 The enormous annual draw on our coal supply is already somewhat les- sened by the use of liquid fuel al- though the actual effect is, of course, inappreeiable. Sir Marcus Samuel, in a recent paper before the Society of Arts, gave an interesting account of the present position of liquid fuel in our own and foreign countries. In England oil as fuel is in use on the Great Eastern railway, and we believe the results have proved satisfactory 1t has also been found more or less in use in the Russian, German and Italian navies and one or two foreign railways. We are told that when tha old fields of Dutch Borneo were first opened up the oil was not allowed to be carried in bulk through the Suez canal, and there was not single port at which obstacles were not placed in the way of its introduction. Now ves- esls carrying 6,500 tons, and capable hour, pass through the canal regularly. The impediments placed in the way of it's discharge have been done away with, as experience has shown that there is no real danger. Several ad vantages are claimed for the use of this body as fuel to replace coal, lhe chief being the convenience of storage, the reduction of labor in storing and rapidity of discharge. The alternate contraction and expansion of the fire bars and steam tubes, unavoidable when coal is used as the fuel, Is said to be altogether stopped, but against this has to be placed risk of over heating.-London Chronicle.

Fernandina, Fla, is the largest ship ping point ia the world for phosphate rock. The rock. which is used as fertilizer, was discovered in Florsda in 1888. In 1890 the shipments from Fe.- nandina amounted to 10,428 tons. Each year it has increased, until last year i95, ,000 tons were shipped from that port.
