The "Daily Chronicle" gives an interest-, ing description of the new cigar-shaped oii carrying ships which it is anticipated will be used for conveying nil from America to England In the near future Each of the9S csblps -will cany 20.0U0 tons of-oil, and wLI travel under water, ; or at least in an .almost submerged position, and will be towed across the oceau by. steamers*. • It-has" been found that "a submerged vesl ssl Is more easily towed-than, an'ordinary ship. of. the-same-size. This, Aisca\:ery lias .beeiy.m.ade nee' of iv the. construction of the new large oil steaine;s. "It has also,""eoutiuueS the "Chronicle;" "been d&cWed to make_use of under water storage for oil. The ordinary oil tank. is a _spleudid mart for big guns, and is also vuluerable to at- - tack' from the air. Tue new method consisto of sinking lirge steel cylinders filled with oil in an aitmciaj lane, the oIL being pumped iv or out as required. Ah air chamber iv each cylinder provides for Its beiiig raised to the surface.
