The tungsten resources Of the United
States + probably considerably larger
than have been generally realized.
Many new deposits have been discov-
cred in various parts of the western
states. according to the United States
geological survey. and should prices
advance 1t Is probable that the output
could soon be increased much above
the record year Of 1910. when 1921
tons were marketed. Most of these
new discoveries are not sufficiently de-
veloped to show how large an output
can be expected from them. but 1t Is
probable that some will prove to be Of
considerable extent. and one OF two
new large producers would make a
noticeable difference in the American
market. Similar discoveries may also
be expected in other parts of the world.

The Diesel Engine.

~sOOOs .sS0ssO
The Diesel engine is coming to be
used more and more in smaller naval
vessels. particularly submarines. Most
Of the latest and largest of these are
propelled by Diesel engines. Some Of
them develop as much as 1900 horse
power. Larger craft of this type are
said now to be under construction. in
which Diesel engines of 5000 horse
power will be installed. A number Of
destroyers and coast defense gunboats
have also been engined with Diesel
motors. The engine is in use to some
extent in motor tank vessels acting as
tenders to warships. How far It will
eventually go in displacing the steam
engine for marine propulsion is still a
very uncertain question.
