A NAVAL REVOLUTION THROUGH
OIL-FUEL.

The meaning of oil-fueI In the navy,
as an all-round promoter of efficiency,
is explained in an illustrated article
contributed to the London Graphic
October I'D by Percival A. Hislam.
The matter, we are told, has been oc-
cupying the attention of the British
admiralty since 1900, when they be-
gan experiments with the old cruiser
Blenheim, and when Winston Church
Ill became first lord, few years ago,
there were already 112 British war;
ships built or building to burn oil
fuel exclusively Under the Churchill
regime, a further great impetus has
been given to this use, and in his first
ship-building program-that of 1912
13-every unit will use oil alone to
make steam, including five battle
ships, eight cruisers, twenty destroy
ers, and many submarines. This looks
as If the powerful British navy would
ultimately use coal only in exceptional
cases. What are the advantages that
have induced the British naval author
tiles to make this great change? Says
Mr.. Hislam:
In the first place, when coal
burning ship has emptied her bunkers
the whole crew have to shovel and
carry, stow and trim for hours on end.
An average armored ship can carry
1000 tons, and it would be a good per-
formance for six or seven hundred
men to get such quantity on board
in ten hours; and for another ten
hours after that they would be. fit for
very little.
An oil-burner simply goes along
side a wharf hoses are screwed onto
the pipes which lead down from the
tanks, and the while operation of oil
ing is completed in a marvelously
short space of time without the least
manual labor What vast difference
TOO, when it comes to feeding the
furnaces! In coal-burning ship
when running at full speed the stoke
holds are full OF sweating stokers,
to the waist and shoveling
nadly but methodically, trimming the
furnaces, or clearing one of rubbish |
This operation leads to reduction of 1
steam, so that no coal-burning ship is |

great length of time. On the other |

very strongly discourage the use of

TALKS ON THRIFT
NO. 24-THRIFT AND TEMPERANCE

Apply to the masses of men any
of the tests that indicate success
or failure in life, progress or stag
nation, valuable or worthless citi-
enship, and none more clearly
than thrift, will separate the tenn
perate, well behaved, respected
and useful from the unsatisfactory
member of society" ANDREW Car
negie.
At one of the lectures on Thrift
held at Cooper Institute, New York,
last winter, under the auspices of the
Savings Bank Section of the American
Bankers Association, a woman in the
audience rose and said: Il know a
man who earns $1,000 a week and has
wife and five children How can he
save any money"
: The lecturer admitted that in such
a case there did not seem much mar
gin left for saving. But right then a
Worklngmon got up and said: 1--WE a
brother who gets only $1,000 a week
and he has brought up five children,
too, but he spends dollar and a half
week for rum
Now, in all probability neither Of
those heads of families is in position
to warrant his saving any portion of
his wages, because the income in pro-
portion to the size of the family is not
large enough for really decent living
in the city. But the point is, how
much worse off the second man and
his family must be because he spends
so large a proportion of his meagre
earnings for that which is not
bread"
Nobody can deny that intemperance
is the main cause of poverty. The
people of this country spend a bill
lion dollars a year for drink-about
$100,000,000 more than for all the nee

comparison. A spray leads from the
tanks into the furnace, and through
this the oil is pumped; and all that
the 'stokers' have to do is to see that
the proper pressure is maintained, that
the oil is burning properly, and that
the sand into which the waste falls is
occasionally renewed"
There is, however, one trouble con-
fronting the British Admiralty-that
of supply. Supplies must be drawn
from oversee, and besides this, prices
are being held up by complicated
system of rings To overcome the
first difficulty, the Admiralty is con-
structing depots for storing oil at an
expense of over s5,000,o0O, and is also
building ships for the carriage of oil
from the oil fields to these depots. To
render the navy Independent of rings,
the government is becoming the own
er, or at any rate, the controller of at
least portion of the supply of oil re-
CURED, now about 100000 tons year.
To quote further:
Ultimately, of course-and perhaps
very soon indeed-the internal-com-
bustion engine will replace steam as
the motive power of even the largest
ships, and oil will then be used in the
most fficient manner.
In addition to it's many other adj
yantages for naval purposes, oil scores
heavily over coal as a steam-raiser
The burning Of l pound of oil will con-
vert IS pounds of water to steam,
whereas a similar weight of coal con-
verts only or So pounds. This means
that given weight of oil will carry
ship more than so per cent. farther
than an equal weight of coal; and the
liquid has another notable advantage,
1nasmuch as it occupies only sc per
cent. of the space required for coal.
Altogether, it is not exaggerating
to say that as means for moving
ships oil is at least 60 per cent super
Tor to coal-that is, while our latest
ships can carry sufficient coal to take
them some 1900 miles at a speed of 20
knots, they would be able to travel
5000 miles if oil instead of coal we're
burned in their furnaces. This Is OBJ
yiously factor which may influence
naval strategy very considerably. TT
reduces the value OF coaling stations
and fuel depots generally by 60 per
cent, and consequently those nations
which are less favorably situated in
this respect than Great Britain will

less. Germany is notable instance
