To Improve Submarines

Englishman's Device Enables Them to Travel Great Distances.

A remarkable invention has been adopted by the British admiralty, the effect of which is to increase the efficiency of British submarines, says a London cable dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.

At present the radius of submarine attack is restricted owing to the difficulties of ventilation and the carrying of fuel, but experiments warrant the belief that the new submarines will be able to travel immense distances, with disastrous effects on the ports of an enemy.

The existing submarine fleet of Britain is not, however, rendered obsolete. On the contrary, it can easily be adapted to utilize the new discovery.

The inventor is a British officer well known for his brilliant capabilities. The most remarkable feature in his design is its extreme simplicity. Details of the invention are of course withheld by the admiralty.
