interesting exhibition of naval and submarine engineering has been opened at the Agricultural Hall, London, the chief feature of which, after many fears that the pressure of the water could not be overeóme, is a glass tank, sixty feet in circumference, wherein divers can be seen working, ciad in grotesque submarine armor. The exhibition contains a vast number of models oi' patents, all deeply instructive. There are life raf ts, sea messengers, lighthouses, engines, boat lowering and ship raising apparatus and thousands of other objeets. The visitor can compare the linesof the Chinese junk with the latest Atlantic steamship, or tliat imperial failure, the Livadia, with .the litest racing cutter, or the Mississippi threedecker with a steel clipper tea ship. ín Edinburgh, Lord Rosebery has opened the International Fiskeries Exhibition, wliich is as interesting and complete as that to which reference has just been made. It affórds a complete insight into the ways and habits of bigtishand little flsh and into the vaiious methods of transferring them from their native waters to the frying pan.
