Novel Type Of Ocean Greyhound

A Vienna dispatch to the London Express says: An Austrian engineer of note, Herr Wetkovic, has invented a new type of ship which he claims will be capable of traveling at lightning speed. Herr Wetkovic declares that when perfected it will enable a journey around the world to be made in a week. The ship does not displace water, but glides over the surface like a skate over ice. Ingenious contrivances are constructed to minimize friction and air pressure.
