WAYS OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.

New-York tribune., 1907-11-22

Coster is satisfied that most of the hindrances
have now been removed and that the solution
of remaining problems cannot long be deferred.
Testimony of a slightly more conservative but
not discOuraging nature was furnished Il few
weeks ago by Mr.. John Ward, president of the
British Institution of Ship Builders and En-
gneers. who holds that there is justification
for the efforts being made to evolve a salts
factory design for marine gas engine.
A forecast which by reason of its source
well as its positive tone commanded wide at
tention was embodied in a paper presented to
the British Institution of Naval Architects last
spring. The author. Mr.. ]. McNechne is pro
fessiOnally associated with the great firm of
NicBers Sons K Maxim. This expert had NO
hesitation in expressing belief that before
long the world would see Il battleshp driven by
gas power. its machinery being able to develop
10000 horsepower, or about as much as the
engines of the Connecticut develop. II now
appears that he proposed to divide the work
among four engines. each having six cylinders.
As there are many gas engines now in service
on land which have a capacity of 4.0N or 4.1Op
horsepower the prediction is less unreasonable
one than il at first seemed to be- Furthermore.
Mr.. McKeChnie'S confidence was based largely
the actual performance of oil engines in
British destroyers and submarines. In rhe
cases which he had in mind the fuel though
heavier ana cheaper than gaSOlene. was uSeu
eXplosively and not for the generation of
steam.
If oil alone should be employed with inter
nal combustion engines OH ships there would
he no necessity FOR pushing the needed i'm
provement in tine gas producer" Coal could
then he dispensed with altogether. For small
vessels. doubt, an adequate supply of oil
could lie had. but there is less certainty in re-
gard to large ones. 1t rumOred not long
ago, however. that the British Admiralty con
templHted the use of both coal and oil some
of its warShips If the story has any founda-
ton in fact perhaps trial of the gas engine
on large scale is really intended. In that
case the choice between producer gas and the
vapor of petroleum would be dictated by cir
cumstanceS. Both could be used in the same
cylinder obviously the demand for liquid fuel
would be greatly diminished If an alternative
were always available. and there would he no
danger that vessel would he rendered helpless
by inability to get It, When the merchant
marine adopts the gas engine it may he CON
tent 10 rely on coal alone as a source of power
but its abandonment of steam would undoubt
edly he FASTENED were any of the navies of the
world to show that the step could be taken
with safety

GAS POWER on SHIPS.

Since the first commercial gas engine was
patented by LenOir, IN 1850 /; has undergone
much improvement and has been applied to
duties which were not foreSeen half Il century
ago. Yet it's evolution is still in progress. and
the list of uses to which the great rival Of
Watts invention is destined remains incOm-
plete. OF these facts Il striking illustration is
furnished by the circumstance that Il leading
technical periodical, "Cassiers Magazine" de
votes the entire contents of single issue (if-
teen articles) to various phases of this sug-
gestve and immensely practical topic
Perhaps no new service by the gas engine is
to-day more eagerly looked for by its cham
piOns than the propulsion of large ships The
task Of adapting ii TO such work has been he
set with embarraSsments. Some of these like
the difficulty of self-starting and reversing.
relate TO the engine itself. Others call for the
development of supplementary apparatus-the
modification of the gas plant. for instance and
provision for ventilation sufficient TO prevent
the explosion of leaking gas. One Of the writ
ers for "Cassiers Magazine" Mr. A. Vennell

EMPEROR's HEALTH IMPROVING.
Only Complaint Is of the Lack of Sunlight
No Change in Busy Life.

London. Nov. 21-EmperOr William has made
no change in his busy life at HighCliffe Castle
The mail bags received from Berlin are eNcep-
tionally heavy and require much personal atten-
tion from the Emperor, who is at his desk for
al least two hours every day before breakfast
This correspondence some days makes il ueces-
sary for him TO abandon his regular morning

and, beer from Germany; otherwise he relies
upon the normal resources of the castle.

THE PERSONAL EXPLANATION.

'The Columbia Is. c. State" quotes from
sThe YorkVille Enquirer" some views that are
exceedingly popular In the South Just now:
We have said It before, and we have seen
absolutely nothing TO change our opinion that
there IS little else behind the present currency
Etringency than a determination on the part of
the financial kings TO make the Southern farm
ers take less for their cotton.
1.-The State replies to THE ENQUIRER in
what seems TO US the most sensible article on
the cotton growers and the business stringency
That we have seen in any Southern paper, say
ing. among other things:

twelve million five hundred thousand bales for

railroad, mining and other industrial stocks
largely owned in New York and other Eastern
cities would that be good business for East
eTners interested in stocks?
OF course, it would be idle to 90 into so fan

Nor is this all. Nearly everybody leans too
