MAN-KILLING INVENTION.

Some few months ago, with the object of having investigations made concerning the idea of a bomb that would travel any distance from one mile 01 loss up to 100 miles or more, Mr William Alibo, of the mechanical staff of the ‘‘ Tarankai Daily News,” communicated with Sir Janies Allen, requesting information as to whether a bomb such as the inventor had been testing (in model form) had even been in use or received the consideratoin of the Defence authorities. Sir James Allen very kindly referred the matter to Major Smvth, of the Defence Department. Whilst the latter officer gave every consideration to details of the invention, lie stated that he was not prepared to o-ive a finad decision as to its practicability, and instructed Mr Allop to submit his plans, etc., to the Military Inventions Board, London. This the local mechanic did, and lie has now received cable advice from the secretary of the Board of Research and Invention that his communications have been referred to the chairman of the Air Inventions Committee, where it will receive every consideration. Mr Alloo claims that his Invention requires no aid to propulsion; that it can be directed to any particular spot; and that it will travel at ten times the speed of the fastest aeroplane.
