And now tho passage of an ordinance j'ermittlns tho storage of oil in New York "lty may be taken an the trumpet au-nonneiiig au-nonneiiig that the home and office of tomorrow to-morrow will he heated from the "gushers" of America and Mexleo. Speaking of this new development, a w York paper furnishes tho following interesting data on the uso of fuel oil in the homo: "There is praclieally no labor cost with tin oi!-burning system properly installed, for t he reason thn t pnu-i ically all labor tx done away with. Together with the Knvlutf incurred by the non - ha nd i i up of fishes, and the fact, that a larger qunniity of fuel may bo stored in the same volume ns is at present, used for coal storage, liing$ tho total amount saved to a consider;- bio amount in a year's time. "A storage lank can be installed at an estimated cost of from 51000 to SSOori, according ac-cording to the mso of the establishment. These tanks are mostly built info the rellnr of tho building, and save unlimited paee formerly used for coal bins, and do ;vay with the constant dust and smoke mbsequent to tho uso of soft coal. Danger Lessened. "The fallacy exists that fuel oil is dan-porous, dan-porous, while tho truth of the matter is t hero is no more and per-Imps less danger dan-ger in the use of fuel oil than in eoab if 1st necessary to kindle the fire, in the same suanner as done with coal before the oil xvtll bum. and by bulUiinc the storage tank into the cellar the danger from outside out-side Ignition is done away with. There is no danger of fire y spontaneous combustion com-bustion or due to negligent handling of hot ashes from a furnace fire. ,rVVtth oil as fuel fit teen pounds of water may be evaporated to a, pound of oil, as compared to only eight pounds of water to a pound of coal. Under these conditions, about three barrels of sixteen ct'Hvity fuel oil will bo practically equivalent equiva-lent to one ton of coal. "With oil at ft. To a barrel, the cost of coal to be equivalent to three barrels of oil must bo very close to $:.:;o a ton, whereas the price today is about 57. a ton for sofi coal and $10. 75 for egg coal, with chances of going higher. "In smaller apartment bouses the largest larg-est saving incurred is real-..ed by the f'exible operation of low pressure heating boilers with fuel oil. During the creator part of the winter it is unu-cssarv to carry fire in a heating boiler the wh.o'e 1 1 y. but the chill ma v be ;.i -.-n off t he building: In the morning :i:ul the oil Vires operated about two or three hours during the re ma i nd er o t tho day. The p r csen t I method is to build a con ( fire and keep Jt banked during the greater part of the day. steadily eating no coal " When in the light of this inereasmg demand de-mand for oil as a fuel, it is. considered" ti'at t'1 fuel oil production in this oountrv for the first tone months of V. :'o was only "7S.fi74.oOO barrels, it c;' u readilv be teen that the new era opens up a future of u-icor.fined prosperity to the b'-pro-d -icing companies of America.
