OIL ENGINES FOR SHIPS.
In connection with the shipping in
dustry few developments, says Pail
Mall Gazette, have been more re-
markable than the progress made
with the use of internal combustion
engines for marine purposes.
Up to a year ago they were con.
fined to small river vessels and
yachts; today there are building, or
about to be built with view to elias.

fewer than twelve ocean-going ships
which will be fitted with oil engines
the largest of them exceeding 5000
, tons gross, while the fact that a
mutor-driven boat of $4,000 tons is
actually in contemplation suggests
that an even more notable advance,

Now, however, oil-engined boats for
, liner dimensions are being got ready
! for service. For the Danish East
Asiatic Company there was launched
at Copenhagen on November the

ship, the Jutlandia, was put into the
