OIL AS FUEL FOR THE NAVY.

Lieut. Winchell, the navy expert
detailed to investigate the efficiency of
the oil fuel system recently installed
in the steamship Mariposa of the
Oceanic Steamship company, makes
an extremely interesting and favorable
report upon the experiment. The
Mariposa made the voyage across the
Pacific from San Francisco to Tahiti,
distance of nearly 1900 miles, with
the newly-installed oil burners in lieu
of coal; so that the experiment was
thorough enough to be deemed of
great practical value.
The first point of value is that the
oil fuel was only SO per cent of the
weight of the coal. A pound and a
half of oil was sufficient to produce
one horse power, and consumption
of 27S barrels of oil per day produced
speed of 354 knots or mean av-
erage of not quite fourteen per hour.
Another economy was the saving
in labor of firing, the engine force
being reduced from thirty-six to TWEEN
ty men. This was an economy of
about 40 per cent.
The steamship was required to use
only twelve of her eighteen furnaces,
another marked economy, and all of
the burners were not used in the
twelve. Crude oil was fed to the fur
naces by means of an air compressor
of a capacity of 1000 cubic feet per
minute at thirty pounds pressure.
A marked reform in management
through the use of oil fuel is the
disappearance of ash waste, which is
a heavy source of cost and incon-
venience in the case of coal. Only
two buckets of refuse waste remained
after the. voyage. There were no unfa-
vorable effects upon the boilers from
the flames, and there was no difficulty
of any kind experienced except some
trifing trouble with oil strainers and
the regulation of the feed
Greater mechanical skill and nerve,
however, are required and higher
degree of intelligence and closer
watching of the firing system than in
the case of coal. The future engine
force of the ocean steamship, there
fore, will be about one-half in num-
Der of the present force and will con-
sist of trained and intelligent men
who are versed in the science of their
profession and have the nerve and
skill to do their work with precision
and high-grade efficiency. This ten
dency is what it should be, for it lifts
the men in professional and intellec-
tual standing, as we'll as in salary and
standard of living.
There is no question that oil is the
future fuel of the high seas. The so
per cent less weight of fuel and the
greater condensation in bulk enables
a steamship to take on board enough
fuel to double the length of its voy-
age before stopping for refueling. This
is an advantage of vast importance,
not only in naval operations in time
of hostility, but from commercial
standpoint. The abolition of ash
waste, the dispensing of crew of
shovel hands for an air compressor,
the economy in both labor and in
space and the far greater convenience
in handling and shipping combine to
give oil winning superiority and
mark an era in ocean transportation.

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who
is the newest woman of all and who
has always advocated the entire sub
mission of man to his feminine rela-
tives, has written a magazine article
entitled Should Wives Work." No
one who has any knowledge of the
writer will for a moment think she
is not entitled to give expert testimony
on that or any subject relating to
matrimony, as Mrs. Gilman is now
making happy her third husband, and
she Is still young woman. After she
had been married year or two to
her first partner she began to have
scruples as to whether she was the
right person to bring up her child, and
with a beautiful self-deprecatfon she
concluded that she was not, and pre-
sented the child to the Stetsons, who
were near friends. Later on she
thought matters over again and con-
cluded she was better fitted to be the
wife Of Mr.. Stetson than that of her
own husband; and strange to say her
husband did thinking stunt on his
own account, and concluded life would
be pleasanter with Mrs. Stetson. So
all being agreed and of one mind the
exchange was made after the prelmi-
naries of two divorces We're attended
to. Charlotte now found herself in
possession of her own child again, and
whether she once more presented it to
friends is not stated. 1t is now ap-
parent that she has given herself up
once more to deep thought, and found
that the eternal fitness of things is
sadly married by her remaining Mrs.
Stetson, so she has disposed of Mr..
c. in some way, and is now Mrs. Gill
man. Whether this game goes any
further only time can tell, but we
cheerfully award the head prize in the
progressive hearts party to Char
lotte. 1t will now be seen that she is
we'll able to discourse on whether or
not wives should work. There are
very few wives who have worked as
hard as Charlotte.
Some men have very poor luck. A
man in Cincinnati, who was tired of
always seeing the same face at the
head of his table, decided to make
a change. Thinking the divorce courts
rather slow and altogether too COM
monthly are really used by every
body-he thought out a plan of rid
ding himself of his wife which was
unique and effectual. To the other
woman whom he thought would make
life one grand sweet Song-if he could
get her-he wrote that he intended
to take number one out in a boat, up
set 1t and leave her to drown. Every
one will admit that this was less ex-
pensive than divorce and less likely
if undiscoVered-to lead to legal COM
plications. But alas for this lovely
plan! Before 1t could be consummated
the intended victim in some manner
obtained the letter that outlined the
scheme for her demise, and she nat
urally did not like 1t very much. So
she obtained lawyer-always an ac-
compartment of trouble-and pro-
ceeded to face her husband. She read
the letter to the guilty wretch and he,
realizing that his game was up and
the beautiful dream was passing away,
gave up everything and killed himself
a good thing to have done at the be-

quietly remarked:

loud laugh, she very probably would

LEAVING HUSBANDS BY WILL.

The leaving of her husband to
another woman by will by a New
York woman has started a spirited
discussion in the East as to the power
of a wife to dispose of her spouse
as chattel. In this particular case
the unique clause of the will was
quite agreeable to the parties in in
terest and was carried out to the let
ter, if not gleefully, at least without
any decided dissent. 1t will be re-

Kubelik's Recital Tomorrow.

Possibly the last opportunity Washingt On
violinist, Jan Kubelilx, will be offered to-
morrow afternoon, when he gives his sec
end recital at the Columbia Theater The
impression that this young man made on
his audience on his last visit was certain
ly remarkable, as the audience refused to
leave after the last number, demanding en-
core after encore. He is undoubtedly at his
best in the Paganini numbers, and with that
in view his manager, catering to the pub
lie taste, has arranged program for to-
morrow afternoon made up entirely from
Paganini. There is one number in particu-
lar that has been a sensation wherever he
has played it, notably Campanella by Pag-
anini. Though this is the musicians first
visit to America, his impression is that the
American audience is rather more demon
strative than that Of Great Britain. Kube-
lik says his audience is always an inspira-
tion to him. Though he may feel a bit of
anxiety before he goes upon the stage, once
he finds himself before his people, he feels
their expectancy like a spur urging him to
play his best, or better, like subtle in
fiuence lifting him willy nilly to his own
highest expression.
The program tomorrow will be: Concerto
for violin, major (Cadenza by
Sauret), Paganini; Herr Kubelik. Piano
Marche Grotesque, Sinding; Miss Torrilhon
Violin soil, a, Andante; b, Campanella
