GAS TO TAKE PLACE OF COAL.
Seems Likely to Come Into General
Use on Shipboard.

Use on ~Shipboard.
II n vessel propelled by steam
power is called a steamer" should
n vessel In which the motive power Is
gas be called a "gasser'? The query
Is prompted by the possibility that In
the not far distant future marine pro-
pulsion will be largely effected by
means OF explosion engines, whose
fuel Will be gas generated on board.
For stationary purposes plants Of this
description have already been erected
on n large scale, and more than one
hrm or engineers Is said to be en-.
gagged In perfcCting a combined plant
consisting of engine and gas generator
which. shall be lighter and occupy less
space than tho present combination
on steam boilers and engine, power
Tor power. The gas used Is known
as producer gas, and Is to all intents
ana purposes steam or water vapor
passed through incandescent coke in
n special form Of furnace. The re-
su!tant gas is a combination Of carbon
monoXide. hydrogen and nitrogen.
Utilizing the fuel In this manner Is
claimed to effect q yer appreciaDle
economy as compared with burning It
under n boiler to generate steam. In
deed 1t has been estimated that one
pound of fuel will thus go as far as
three pounds In the latter method.
Ihis on n long voyage not only means
the reduction of the coal bill, but also
Il corresponding Increase In cargo
space or passenger accommodation.
II therefore behooves steamship com.
panies to pause before adopting tho
steam turbine In a wholesale manner.

Of overseer Voliva. who in making
charges Of exaggeration against Dowle
said:
"Dowie has ignored our official data
and has said, for instance, that there
were 10000 persons in Zion city. when
the fact is there never were more than
1000 He has repeatedly declared that
