A large electric company of Berlin, Germany Is making a lifebuoy for use on shipboard, which is fitted with an electric lamp so as to be visible at night in the water. A further and promising form of electric lifebuoy has now been proposed in the nature of a dirigible craft, such as have already been used successfully in warfare. It carries a motor and reel of wire, and can be directed towards wrecks or any other object; By reversing, the motor can be made to rewind its wire, so as to return with its burden. Some'of the military or Baval; torpedoes of the d_r_eib.e: type carry as much as 7000 ft of whe, which in actual tests under observation they have run out in*, less than five minutes. They are freighted with explosives, bnt it is obviously easy to put food and drink: inßtead in the receptacle. There are three distinct forms of tbe dirigible torpedo in use—one English, one Gei-maD, and one American, but the U.tter appears to be by far the best.
