An Engiishman, Mr, “'illiam Mar- vin. is th eiatest claimant. for the credit of having aerfected a practi- cable "honotypewrher." It will be the inven°ion of the century it it ful- fills ali that Mr. MarVin stoutly claims for it.

Every fumby takes the law into its own hands, and it is reported not a day passes without many murders be- ing committed in the Streets. The Italian authorities have. now come to Look upon Artena as hopeless. and re- mark that it is far better criminals should kill criminals than that innoc. en; persons should be their victims. [t is said that on one occasion, when 23 murders had been committed in that city in one day. the {not was re- ported in one of the Itaiian papers in the following- terms; "Since our last £83113. 2% hours before, there have been 23 sudden deaths in Arzena.” And no further'notice of the murders was taken or expected. ?lace E'herc “ Sudden Deaths” Are “In- fldents” of 9:111) Life. The Italian city of Artena, situated about 40 miles from Rome. is known as the City of Crime. ' Ever since the Sixteenth Century every criminal who has escaped from prison or done his times has emigrated to Artena, and to. day .prnctxcabiy eveijy inhabitant is Marine engineers and explorers are watching the construction of this unique craft with much interest. The inventor declares that the voyage to the Pole will be made in the ice-crush- ing boat, but there are many who are skeptical. “7 il forward in the bow is placed the powerful engine which runs the ice-crushing screw. Huge electrie mo- tors and powerful gearing are the fea- tures of this engine, which will only be used when it is necessary to cut a channel through the ice. The electri- city is to be supplied by an immense dynamo driven by the main shaft. Be- low and around the electric engine are the steel tanks in which the petroleum is stored. ‘ When built for moderate speed only, this craft is especially designed for battering and ramming ice, and its propelling engines, which are to be compound triple expansion, Will be of fully’ 1,560 horse-power. The latest principle in the way of fuel will be followed, and the flame which heats the boiler will have petroleum as its ' area. The petroleum will be carried in a tank heavily protected by steel, in that portion of the craft in which coal; bunkers are ordinarily located.‘ The1 tank room is made exceptionally large, considering the size ofa boat, and will| contain enough oil to last for a long: voyage. I The rapidly revolving screw and ram combined will first crush into the ice, impelled by tremendous power. It will then saw and bore its way through the pack floe, throwing the ice upward and backward. in order that the flying ice may not injure the vessel, a shield has been constructed which will answer the dual purpose of withstanding the heavy shocks of the waves and the bombardment of the flying ice. » At the apex of the bow is a curious screw, not unlike a series of circular saws. As the ship lies in the water this screw saw is seen to project sev- eral feet, and is partially out of the water. At the end of the shaft, which is made of the toughest steel procur- able, is a massive point that can be operated as a ram. 0 SAW THROUGH THE ICE. fhe idea of the inventor is to send the craft ahead at an ice pack or floe under a full head of steam, the pro-l peller at the stern and the screw at the how, both working together, al- though one receives its power from an: electric engine, while the power of the f other comes from an engine driven! by steam. ! The idea originated with Mr. War- :ington Baden-Powell, elder brother of Sir George Baden-Powell, M.P.. and Colonel Baden-Powell, who is now mak- ing such a gallant defence against the Briers in Mafeking. The ice-crushing craft will resemble the ocean whale- back. The deck covering is to be of steel, studded with heavy rivets. the} whole welded to stand extreme tem-' perature such as would be met with, in the Polar regions. I Petroleum Will Be Used as the Fuel for the New (Tran, Which “11] Have But 8 Iodrl’ate Speed. A new plan has been devised by an £ng1ish inventor for cutting a path- way through the ice barrier that guards the North Pole. It is an ice crusher that is to be attached to the WOW of a steam vessel and to be used for cutting through the ice just as I. drilling machine carves a passage through rocks.
