POWDERED COAL.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN BRITAIN. (Unltad Prill Association—By Bliotrt# Tiliffrapb—Copyright.) (Received February 26, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 25. The “Daily Telegraph” states that shipowners are keenly interested in the pulverised coal system, which has emerged from the experimezital state and is now recognised as a formidable rival of lump coal, and will possibly substitute oil. Such excellent results were obtained on the Hororata that the owners have decided to convert all her boilers to use powdered fuel, The Blue Star Line is similarly fitting the Stuart Star. If the system comes into general use in the mercantile marine, the coal industry will benefit enormously. Over £‘40,000,000 worth of oil imports should be correspondingly reduced.
It is understood likely that powdered fuel will be used in the Navy. The Admiralty has lent two vessels for experiments.
