Solid Oil for Fuel

English ship owners have recently dis
cussed the advisability of using petroleum
briquets for fuel According to Science
Conspectus, these briquets are made of
boiled crude oil. to which is added stearic
acid with an alcoholic solution of caustic
soda. The process is simple, and results
in transparent mass that can be nodded
into blocks of convenient size for hand
ling The briquets burn slowly and stead

and pound for pound, are two and half
times as effective as coal. 1t has been
estimated that one round trip between
England and New York a large liner
would save at least 5000 by using solid
oil instead of coal. The apparatus now
used for loading fuel would need little
change to adapt it to handling the oil
briquets Not the least important adj
vantage of them-especially for warships-
is that by being more economical of space
than coal. they will enable vessels greatly
to increase their steaming radius.

| tary of the Illinois Manufacturers asso-
ciation) and will write again. undertake

cago men interested in industrial mat

Foraker Testifies
Foraker before the Senate commit
! tee explained his connection with the
sale of the Union Pacific to a reor-
| ganization committee in 1897 which
had been brought into the investigation
| by David Lamar. Lamar testified that
Foraker, through influence in WASH
ington, took leading part in the deal
at Lamar's solicitation.
Foraker testified that at the time
| of reorganization the Union Pacific
owed the United States $30,000,O00 and
| one proposal was that the government
receive only part of that sum.
Foraker swore that he did not figure
in the case except in an effort to see
that the government got the whole
sum. Foraker said he had known Null
hall since 1888 when Foraker was a
candidate for governor of Ohio.
| Foraker denied that he ever favored
any legislation wanted by the National
| Association of Manufacturers, or that
he talked with Mulhall about lobbying
matters In Washington.
Thought 1t All Right
Before we got so good as we are
now" Foraker said, Il thought 1t was
all right to answer questions. OF
course, l never had any idea that these
| conversations We're to be made the
basis of reports by some lobbyist"
Foraker flatly denied Mulhall's tes-
! timony of a conference at which many
leading republicans opposed to the
| nomination of Taft gathered at For
aker's house to discuss plans for con-
certed opposition.
Il did not think Mulhall was as great
| a man as he thought he was, and | did
| not think he had as great influence as
he thought he had; / did not take him
as seriously as he did himself For
| aker said
In contrast to those who have de-
| nounced Mulhall as a liar, Foraker
amused his hearers by the calm way he
| talked of Mulhalls desire to appear
with prominent men, caviling to talk
| WITH them and represent what he
thought they thought was going on tc
| his employers.
