1 Cvttino Through Tobpkdo Ssts. —lt seems not unuiteiy that torpedo nets may soon be relegated to the limbo of superanimated contrivances. Hitherto it has been considered that when a ship at anchor nad its steel crinoline distended arooad it, there was nothing to be feared from the insidious and terrible Whitehead torpedo. However, it is now reported that Captain ■ Wilson, of the Yernon, has invented a sort of scissors appendage wh.eh can b« fixe 4to the aoae of the torpedo, and which : will enable it to cat through the steel rings of the protecting net. According to the accounts given of a trial of the device, . the weapons passed through the act so , easily that their speed was scarcely re- > duced. Offence has outpaced defence, and 1 ingenuity most devise some other mean 9 of stepping those terrible engines of destruction.
