The chief qualification necessary in alocomotive for burning bituminous coal isto have a sufficiently large grate area togive an economical coal consumption persquare foot of grate surface per hour. Regarding the use of petroleum forfuel, the conclusions of Dr. Dudley in1888 still holds good, despite the dis-covery of new oil fields in this Pennsylvania system alone, would. , 5Vo o o aoo &oo o o o o o o° o o e c o o , SI ml ;.

If thelocomotive is so constructed that thisamount is excessively high, it is impos-sible to avoid the making of smoke, whichoccurs from incomplete firing on a locomotive is not only-hard on the fireman himself, but on thebank account as well, as the evaporativeefficiency of the fuel is very much reduced,and, consequently, the objectionable times due to the iact that the second en-gine has been hurriedly called upon to dothis service, and the fireman has not hadsufficient time, to use a common expression,to burn a good fire, or. in other get his fire in proper shape beforeleaving the station.
