about a "broOmtaiI' who had q siCkly

pertinent could make her lift her head

" avoided the spot where her colt was

Naval Boards Conclusions After

clusions of the liquid fuel board Of
the navy, consisting Of Commander
John Edward, Lieutenant Commander
f. II. Parks and Lieutenant r. III. Han
ley, formed as the results of tests COW
ering a period of tWenty-eight months
with coal and oil respectively as a
navy fuel. In the opinion of the board
an intelligent fire room force should
find no trouble i'm burning oil in d uni
form manner, and for general purposes
on shore high pressure steam was
found to be a better spraying medium
than air. Regarding the question Of
burners the board says that as the
warship is designed to be operated at
short notice, under the seVerest forced
draught conditions. the questions VIII
have to be considered whether it is
not more advisable 10 fit air burners
that would be found most efficient for
the day of battle rather than in an in
