AN ELECTRICALLY.PROPELLED SHIP.

One method of overcoming the dimoulty of propelling vessels by motors. The speed of which does not lend itself to the most economical uer of the screw propeller, is the electrical transmis. sion of power from the generator to the propellor shaft. Alrandy Mr. Parsons has experimented in a comprehensive way with the system of mechanical gearing which he has fitted to the steamer Vespasian, and which reduced the spoed received from the turbine to that which is most economical and efficient for the propeller, while on the now russel Holzapfel I. the Fettingor hydraulic transformer has been installed as an intermediary, the motive

practical fests have been carried out with the system of electrical transmission Bezociated with the name of Henry A. Mavor, of Glasgow, and his experimen- tal bont, the Electris Are, ran trials on

the Clyda last week, passing through all the tests which aro panally applied to reusela propelled by atoum ongines of the ordinary types.
