that in time large number OF the
smaller ships will be using it. and even
tually coal will pass out OF general use

quicker f,e and giving greater heat. II
is said it permits vessels TO maintain a
wider stcaming radius and reduces CON
siderably the cost OF iuel.
SO lar but little headway has been
made by the merchant marine with its
use. but the few vessels experimenting
with it have found that oil is superior TO
coal in many respects, including less
weight in proportion TO the number OF
miles the ship s;eams. A special board
will go 10 the Delaware Breakwater and
