Tho problem of successfully applying 1 the internal-combustion engine consuming oil fuel for the propulsion of ocean-going ships has (says the Shipbuilder) already been solved, and the future of -this propulsive agent depends largely upon the cost of oil fuel. The oil consumption being only about one-fourth the weight of that of coal, the owner can afford to pay four times as much for the fuel and still secure the benefits which accrue to the ship through the lighter and less bulky engine... - • • - - ■ . .
