Experients With Oil.

Some interesting experiments with crude oil from the Beaumont, Tex, oil fields are being made at the Ensley steel plant, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, with a view of dis covering whether the use of this oil in the furnaces for the manufacture of steel will not prove as successful and less costly as the use of gas generated in producers located near by, as is the case now. The oil is being brought into the district in the regulation tank cars. The tanks are placed near the furnaces ana the product is pumped through pipe di- rect to the furnaces. It is believed that a better heat and steadier heat can be secured from the oil than from the usual gas generation. The experiments promise to be of much interest before completed.
