During the past year more than one Atlantic Hner bas had trouble through the crowns of the furnaceß coming down In an unaccountable manner. A notable twin-screw tteamer has alao had a similar experience. A like misfortune bas overtaken a largo steamer which was intended for the Australian trade, but which has just completed her first round voyage to B' mbay and back. This latter ve»B3l arrived at Cardiff in the middle of December, and it is said that the is not likely to get away bsfore the ear'y part of March. The cause of these mddon collapses ii to be found in Hie preserce of mineral oil in the boilers, which is introduced by the feedwater, So fir the only care for the evil is the filtration cf the feed beforo it passes into the butler?. When it is considered that in large Bteamers somethiig like 2,000 tons of f -ied-water haa to bo deait with every twentyfour hour?, the problem U one of unusual magnitule. Sblppln* Talavrams.
