C.l. HUNCHINCS EXHIBITS
BAGASSE SUGAR BARRELS

Two nail-kegs made of Eva bagasse
are on exhibition at +. o. Hall Il Son
and a cigar-box and some eolored discs
made of the same material are being
shown at +. w, Macfarlane's office,
Clinton J. Hutchings brought these
samples of bagasse board from San
FRANCISCO yesterday to show what the
new material looks like. He-is ready
to make sugar containers like them
when the planters decide as to the
dimensions required.
One of the kegs filed with nails has
been shipped over 5000 miles by the
American Steel & Wire Company. The
first l0g of its zigzag travels was from
New York to Seattle via the Great
Lakes, during which it had to be
handled a dozen times. Next the key
Of nails went to San Francisco by sea,
was shot into and out of cellars and
warehouses, dropped, tossed, rolled and
tumbled, and given the hardest kind of
usage. Then il was sent by river boat
to Sacramento, by train to Los An
geles, Chicago and other points and
finally back to San Francisco, and is
now in Honolulu to prove what strong
stuff Hawaiian bagasse is to be made
into.
A number of sugar men have in.

Twenty sections of the Hind Ogg dry
fume are now being made at Hawi
plantation. The motors are here, but

cline engines to run them have not ar.
rived, although they are expected al,
most any day.
John Hind, who is now on a trip
East, is comforting with other inventGrs
of dry fumes and mechanical carriers
to see whether the different ideas can
all be got together and Incorporated in
one scheme. 1t was found that some of
tho principles used in the Hind 0gg

mainland inventors but never in this
particular field. Hence Mr.. Hind is en-
doaVoring TO prevent misunderstood
ings and conflicts by getting other in

HOT BULDENG|NES
..., ARE USEFUL TYPE
Better Than Diesel In Some Re-
CARDS, Opinion Of Engineer
Hind

| There is a big field for the applica,
ton of fuel oil engines other than Of
the Diesel type to plantation use, ac-
cOrding to Il. Renton Hind, consulting
engineer of the Honolulu Iron Works
Company. The sO-called hot.bulb type
| Of internal combustion engines has
some advantages over the Diesel as it
works under two hundred pound com
preston, whereas the Diesel requires at
least $50 pounds
The Annie johnson, which recently
made visit to Honolulu, is equipped
with two Bolinder, two-cylinder, two
cycle, l60-horsepower engines of the
hot-bulb type, working at 225 7. p. m.
In her trial trip in San Francisco Bay
she made, "a knots per hour laden with
1900 ton cargo. On the voyage to
Honolulu the Annie johnson 3 engines
burned fuel at the cost of only forty
cents per hour, which gives m adequate
idea of their great economy. Mr. Hind
believes they. will be very useful,
whereas stationary engines are required
on the plantations.
How 1t Differs .'...., %.
p The economy of a four-cycle Diesel
and four-cycle ot.bulb engine is the
same, the advantage Of the latter being
greater economy in supplementary
power. a - '-.EHl.
In the Diesel the explosion of the
hot oil is brought about by the heat
generated by compression, to $50
pounds and soyefs M stated. above. This
uses up az good deal of power, az u
matter of course. In the newer type
Of engine the charge of oil is injected
into bulb; made red hot first by the
blast of torch fame from the outside
The heat generated by the explosion of
the oil keeps il in that condition after
the engine is started The bulb opens
towards the piston head Just as is the
case in the Diesel compression chamber
and the exploding vaporized oil is the
motive power. Mr.. Hind said that the
Annie Johpson's tworcycle engines are
not as economic as the Diesel four.
cycle, but where structural comparisons
are like the economy of the hot bulb
engine is greater.
One of the Bohnder hot bulb engines
has been ordered for the, James Makee.
1t is to be of the 240-horsepower four
cylinder type and will be shipped to
Hawaii direct from Sweden. Ernest
