THE COMING POWER.
The most advanced. students of
motive power for ocean vessels are
convincing many persons interested
in maritime affairs that the day Of
the oil fuel, by use of the gas engine,
is at hand, and that the leviathans of
the oceans in the future will be far
different from the steamships that are
in operation at the present time.
The performance of the Seelandia,
driven by gas engines, in her recent
voyage from the Orient to England
has attractd the attention of the
sea-faring world and has resulted in
the ordering of several vessels to
be propelled by the same class of en-.
gines.
The space given heretofore to the
coal bins in the ocean steamships can
be added to the cargo space under the
new system, while great saving of
costs can be effected not only through
the lower cost per mile with the gas
fuel but through the dispensing with
the service of many stokers and as
sistant engineers.
AS one party puts it, two or three
engineers on duty can run an ocean
steamship without the aid of firemen
and can have ample time to read
their books, for the automatic sup
ply to the engines leaves them moth
ing to do save to attend to the bells
as to speed and machinery control.
Vessels equipped with this system
of motive power will be ideal for the
tropics, and thousands of human be-
ings will be relieved from the suffer
ing occasioned by deadly temperat-
ures in the boiler rooms of steam
ships of the present type.
Throughout the entire belt of the
tropical seas in all seasons, and in
those of the temperate zones in the
summer season, these boiler rooms
of steam vessels have been veritable
hades to the men whose duties requir-
ed them to work in them
In not only the merchant service,
but in that of the navies of the world
this newly devised system will be
hailed with delight if it is found to
be all that its friends claim it to be-
The attention of the practical men
now being concentrated upon it a
few months at the farthest will dis
close it'll points of advantage and dis
advantage, and it's general adoption
is certain if found to be efficient and
meritoriuus.- Exchange.
