s Record of Coal Con.umptlon.

The machinery of two steamers.

proved remarkably economical. The
Engines are a modification of the

advocated by the late Mr.. Mudd. The
working pressure has been increased
267 pounds per square inch, and the
steam is superheated to a tempera-
ture approaching 500 degrees Fahren-
heit. The general result is that on
an extended trial from Hartlepool to
Dover the coal consumption was at
the unprecedentedly small rate of
81 pound per indicated horse power.
II we increase this to one pound, it
works out TO 15b tons per day for

In other words, one ton is carried
