The latest marine invention now in use on a Newcastle (England) pilot boat is a machine -which throws a beam of light on the sea bottom, allowing the depth of water below the ship to be gauged. Soundings, may thus be done away with. The invention is of unusual importance since it may be usefully employed by the big liners when entering shallow water. The searchlight is worked through a hole in the lower part of the ship, while an observation window is placed nearby, through which the light may be seen. A mirror is set- at the end of a long observation tube running through the ship to the bridge. By working a handle an officer can take any angle on the projection beam and, by a single calculation, measure the depth of the water below. AT OTHER FORTS. AUCKLAND, September 21.
