ROGRESS in aoriitl navigation is essentially dependent on - i perfection of a process of producing great mechanical ffort with light machinery. iewing the possibilities near and remote, motive power" is obtained in FOUR wavs first, by transforming the heat energy of fuel in an internal combustion engine; second, by converting the electro-chemical energy of a primary or secondary battery in an elec tric motor third, by harnessing ni the moving vessel itself the energy of the : i r ;CiUuling medium, and, fourth, by transmitting to it without wires the electrical - - - . .
