It Is Mori Efficient Than Coal. m Savin*) In Fira Room Complame^t and Ik Cleaner to Handle?Co?nny * Ship at Sua la Menn Work. Figurative!.* speaking ihe I uited St u I cm navy consumes a mountain of coal wind a sea t?f oil every year, and the full question might without levity \h> called a burning one Willi I In' naval officials at all limes. No navy In the world has given the problem of coal supply, eonl capacity and speed In coaling ships more alien tiou tlnin has I hat of the United Stales. Coal used hy I ho uuvy department for our fleets comes from the bitumin ous regions of Virginia. Went Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania. This coal Ih shipped from the mines to the roust, the principal tidewater ports on the Atlantic coast being Philadelphia, New York and Hampton Iloads, Ya Hov eminent colliers carry the coal ti'om these ports to the varloiiH coaling stu tions of the navy in Atlantic, Pacific aiul Asiatic Waters. The chief coaling stations are at Bradford, in the state of Klmde Is land; San Francisco; Honolulu, i nvite. P. 1.. and smaller stocks at (Juantana 1110, Samoa and tJuam. The supplv at these stations Is kept up to the requir ed standard h.v frequent shipments from the Atlantic sen hoard ports men tioned in naval colliers or In chartered merchant vessels. The navy standard coal used by the American licet meets the highest tests for steaming purposes, for it gives the largest percentage of "steaming ra dins" per given quantity of <val. The nav.v must have clean, dependable coal, for it means miles and, as far- as pos si hie, preservation of machinery. Coaling at sea may well l>e called the nightmare of the navy. Every man on board. Iniih otliecrs and enlisted men. dreads it. laborious, tedious and nas ty, It is an unwelcome duty. t<? l>e performed as quickly as possible and then forgotten with fervent sighs <.f re lief. The coal is lifted from the collier's hold HI huge buckets raised by der ricks, which carry them to the war ships ihutes. the coal being dumped In great piles on deck, whom e it is shoveled by the men Into the chutes. Trimmers down in the bunkers do their part in properly distributing it. The wer\ Is heavy, dusty and dirty, and r -lis. hot sausages and colVee are serve 1 to the men every two hours during coaling. To further stimulate them the shin's band often plays stir ring ail's. -> - - .t. V" ? : coaled from barges lying alongside the coal bei?:g lifted by derricks in huge bags whi> h ho!, 1 s<>'> pounds of coal each. ' T!ic hatt 'eship Arkansas < an stow 'J.To-l tons of coal an 1 the 'Iexas tons. The use of fuel oil in the navy Is Increasing yearly and will continue to i111? reji'se. a- the new slops, es|?e< iall.v t iio new dreaduau: hts. < <>nsume o:l. and more oil burners are planned for the future According to the navy depaituiont, there is much jo be said in tavor of oil. It elTccts a considerable reduction in Ilrerootn compleincnt. It is more ctheient than coal in that -<'?<? gallons of oil (two thirds of :: t oil i do the uoik of one ton of good coal, ati I there is a great deal of refuse in coal (a^hes. etc. i. with much addit ion.-il loss due to fine particles of coal going up the stacks unconsumed. The T'nited States navy has two oil supply ships, the Kanawha and the Maumee. each of them capnlde of mak ing fourteen knots 1111 hour and carry ing tons of fuel oil. oiling a ship does away with much of the labor and nil of the dirt so trying in coaling. In port the problem of pumping the oil from the huge tank on do>k into the pipes on the side of the vessel is com paratively a simple one. Supplying oil to a ship nf sea, how ever, Is not yet satisfactorily settled. Experiments in fueling ships at sea with oil form an important item In naval strategy at this time.
