WELLINGTON, Nov. 22. The “have predominated with muggy weather, fog and rain m th ; barometer C aUons are for the eastern coast of both islands especially of the Novtn Island, and in slse where. Little movement ol the ban. meter is probable generally. MOTOR SHIPS. PASSENGER VESSELS A POSSIBILITY. The passenger steamer r>f opel I« tl b,v cargo steamers at present on the Hps ■u'hioh arc to be driven b> motoi en Stoura; KKar,* s will prove a great success. 1 heir si eiV to be 12 V- knots per hour each, and it is to be obtained by motor engines ; o. the Diesel type. ‘-The^ automobile and its now universal use, said Mi Boas recently, "has brought us to this sta„e, ami we y have been taught that there m no longer fears of mishaps of edeat consequence, because the products of petroleum are • used mixed with air in an engine which depends upon constant explosions. Wo can carry the oil in the double bottoms of the ships, and thus <lo away with coal bunkers ana boilers. Thus there is a great saving in space and weights, and the vessel Is enabled to earn much more money as a cargo carrier Then, too," added Mr Boas, there is a smaller force in the engineering department. There will be no stokers, and in these ships no oilers, for all of the bearings will be oiled automatically. the oil tillered and used over and over again. The engines will be made bv the Augsberg and Nernoerg Company. They will be of the Diesel type, and'will use ordinary fuel oil, not gasolene We shall be able to send a vessel to the Far East from Hamburg without the expense arid delay of coaling at several ports. These ships will be ready f n 1912. and will run between New York and Hamburg. -They will surely be followed by the passenger ship propelled by internal combustion engines.
