In the past few years oil as fuel forlocomotives has been brought forward withgreat rapidity. Owing to its economy andsatisfactory service a number of railroadson the Pacific slope have been using oilas fuel quite extensively. Ill burning oil it is very important thatthe volatile gases should be properly con-sumed before they leave the fire box, asthey contain high heal producing quali-ties. The average bituminous coal con-tains about 25 per cent hydro-carbons, andabout 65 per cent, carbon. About 16 percent, of the hydro-carbons is hydrogen paswhich makes the hottest fire that is obtain-.
