PAssINa o. STEAM ENelNEs.

The practical success which has fol-
lowed the use Of the internal combus-
ton engine in large ships seems to
spell the beginning Of the end Of

his company would never again build
a ship with steam as the motive pow

combustion engine are many. They
utilize great per cent of the en-

ly carried, no stokers are required,
and instead of the engines becoming
overheated in tropical climates, trial
seems to show that they work better
the hotter the temperature. The pres

been rising steadily in price for some

limitless by any means. There re-
mains, of course, denatured alcohol,
which can be made from vegetable
matter and it may in time become
the great fuel of the world. How
ever that may be, it is reasonably GER
tain that ship owners during the
next decade will turn to the internal
combustion engine to solve many Of
their difficulties.
