PULVERISED COAL AT SEA.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) LONDON, March 21. The Blue Star liner Stuartstar, which has been carrying out exhaustive experiments on two boilers burning powdered fuel,'is due in this country from Buenos Aires to-morrow. The experiments have proved so successful that immediately on the liner’s arrival in London the remaining boilers are to be equipped with pulverising plant by Clark, Chapman, and Co., Ltd. When the vessel leaves London on April 4, for South America, she will be completely equipped with the new system, and will have the distinction of being the first British steamer csteaming entirely on pulverised fuel. The Hororata has made a voyage from this country to New Zealand with three boilers fed throughout with pulverised coal on the Howden-Buell system, and after her return to England the other three boilers are to be adapted for the purpose.
