yrE TROUBLES OF PAT.
WouId.Be Suicide Found Death Mt
an Eas, Matter.


Pat had come over TO America WITH
the expectation of finding money ly-
ing around loose, only waiting tor
some one to pick it up. or course
this was long ago. Pat had soon be-
come disillusioned and was always
glad to get hold of oGd 5oos which
would net him a little something to
help him to keep body and soul TO-
sether. Finally becoming tired OF the
struggle, he decided to end it all, and
was very industriously tying rope
around his waist when his landlord
happened in on him. After watching
him curiously for a few minutes, he
asked:
whats up, Pat? What are you
trying to do?"
'.Troyin' to choke mesef, az
coorse," was Pats answer.
Choke yourself? You cant do it
that way. You'll have to pat the
rope around your neck
Sure an l thried that, But

4. MATERIAL AND LABOR
NECESSARY TO CHANGE
FROM COAL TO OIL FUEL.

Change of Furnace-The only
changes at the furnace required are to
lay fire brick, without cement, on the
crate bars, and bore two Pinch holes
III the iron front of the furnace,
through which to insert the pipes for
Glscharging the oil and steam jet
which sprays it, into the furnace. The
entire labor and material will not cost
over $50 to SIS, and the change can be
made in a day.
In order to change back to coal, all
that has to be done is to pull out the
pipes and loose brick, which need not
take more than thirty minutes.
Other Material Eequired-The other
material required is:
OLA pump and heater with which TO
warm the oil and force it into the
furnace. These are self contained, a
duplicate pump, with heater operated
by the exhaust steam from the pump,
all being mounted on a portable plat
form not exceeding 4 feet long by
feet wide, and standing about feet
high.
One set of pumps runs the whole
battery of boilers.

as to have little or no effect on heat
values.
"A pound of hydrogen will develope,
burned, about 1850 British thermal
units.
"A pound of oxygen will develope,
when burned, about 61,000 British Their
NAL units.
THE proportion of carbon in crude OIL
is much greater than the hydrogen, the
percentage composition of California oils
being such that their heat values per
pound vary between nineteen and twenty
thousand British thermal units.
Carbon is heavier than hydrogen;
therefore the greater the percentage of
carbon contained, the more a gallon viii
weigh and the lower its gravity on the
Be ume scale. The greater the percent
age of hydrogen contained, the less a
gallon will weigh, and the higher its
gravity on the Baume scale.
"A gallon of IA degrees oil weighs s
lbs
"A gallon of IS degrees oil weighs 7.sS
lbs.
IF the two oils had the same chemi-
cal composition, the IA degrees oil would
have, per gallon, 15 per cent more heat
units than the IS degrees oil. However,
the IA degrees oil contains a slightly
larger percentage of carbon in its COM
position, and a smaller percentage of hy-
drogen than the IS degrees oil; approxi-
mately an amount that will just about
offset the increase in weight OF ~ per
cent, and gallon of each of the two
oils will develope approximately the same
number of British thermal units.
Except for the problem of pumping
one oil is practically as good another
for fuel purposes. This presupposes that
the oil is properly settled to remove
water and other impurities.
Light oils spray and gasify more
readily - the furnace, but the difference
between IA degrees and is degrees oil is

from which to draw the oil
This can be of steel or wood-prefer-
ably steel walls for strength and non
leakage, and wood covers for econo-
my.

weeks run for the average sized pump
ing station, s2,150.
Twenty thousand barrel tank, rs feet
in diameter by % feet high, s11, 500.
The number and size of tanks must
dc pend entirely upon the proximity to
the main source of supply and facilities
for getting the oil thence to the sta
ton.
At Kihei the oil company is installing
a $4,000 barrel tank at the landing, and
the plantation is installing three aux
Hilary storage tanks at the three
pumping stations, of respectively, 500
barrels, 1000 barrels and 5000 barrels
capacity.
After thorough investigation of the
relative economy of transporting the
oil to the stations in tank cars or by
pump and pipe line, the latter method
has been decided upon.
CD The only other material required
is a few feet of inch and inch and
half pipe to connect up the reservoir,
the feed pump and the furnace, cost
ing perhaps s25, and one burner to each
boiler, costing from S. to $25 each.

what is meant by gravity of oil?
Does it indicate relative value for fuel
purposes?
Us there any practical difference in
the number of available heat units con-
tanned in oil testing IA degrees and that
testing IS degrees; if so, how much; that
is to say is oil testing IS degrees worth
more money to the consumer than oil
testing IA degrees? If SO, how much
more?
Il am informed that the practical diff
ference is more one of transportation
than of value as a heat producer; the
lower gravity oil being sitter and there
fore harder to pump and the higher
grade more liquid and therefore easier to
pump. Is this correct
MR. HUNTS REPLY.
:. Gravity of oil indicates its weight
per unit of volume.
THE lower the gravity of oil, the
heavier il is; so an oil of low gravity
furnishes a greater weight of combusti-
bic per gallon than a high gravity oil
Pound for pound, is degrees oil con-
tains more heat units than IA degrees oil
Gallon for gallon they contain for all
commercial purposes the same number.
This because the weight per gallon of
the high gravity oil decreases approx
increase.
AH crude petroleumS are composed of
the two elements hydrogen and carbon,
tain very small percentages o~ oxyge..,
ments; but the percentage is so small
