A NEW AMPHIBIAN
TANK THAT SWIMS AND FLIES. LONDON, January 19. The Daily Chronicle’s aeronautical correspondent says that in a secluded workshop the Government Research Department has devised a destroyer-tank which is able to swim with the fleet, yet can fly in the air at high speed, and can be used as a submarine if necessary. These uncannv monsters, which are called tessaurians, will develop 3000 horse power. By the aid of great pneumatic-tyred wheels they are also able to rush like super-tanks up a beach, a.nd can thus fight under four conditions —on the surface of the sea and land, in the air, and under the water.
