A despatch from Vancouver, B. c., says :--A former British naval Uitlt'er, Lieut. lnnes. has for some time been secretly at work in Australia on a new submarine torpedo boat. A trial of the invention has just taken lilac. before the tsommander-in-cttief, Admit. al Pearson, in Sydney harbour. 'llsvrtt were few persons at the trial. An aye- witness of the experiment said :--" I he shape of the boat is like that of lhe torpedo itself. It is cigar-shaped and pointed at both ends. The modes “is made in seven different engine Shula: to insure secrecy, The performance ..1 the craft was marvellous. The tinting power was electricity, and Compressed air was supplied for the occupants. ’lhe boat was only fifteen feet mug. but now that its success is assured a model to hold six men will he built at once. the man in the conning tower can u. lll‘ ipulate the vessel, or it can he mumm- lated from below.

In addition to this propeller is another which works at the end of a vertical shaft directly un- der the centre of the craft, and muses the disappearance and reappearance of the boat.' The ere-witness, who is close to Admiral Pearson, and is sup- posed to voice his opinions, trdded:-- " The submarine invention is the‘uiust remarkable of modern times. The model Will not fitted with torpedo tubes, " this was a matter of detail. The trial was to attest the efficacy of the central screw in submergim: "nd raising the vessel.
