passenger boats. where there are so many
I people in small space. and in battle
ships and frcighters Electricity has been
found best for this work because it can
be transmitted from the power rooma
to any part of the ship on small con-
cealcd wires without serious loss Of
energy. To-day the large steamboats, and
battleships are lighted with electricity,
and electricity motors do most OF tile
work abroad. from forcing the fires under
the boilers TO veutiating the ship and
driving the vnchoe and elevators.
