NEW MOTOR FUEL. —Trials have taken place in France of a new fuel which is intended to replace petrol for internal combustion engines. It is known as Mahonin fuel, so called from the name of its inventor, a Russian engineering chemist. A very successful demonstration of its qualities was made with a hydroplane at Argenteuil on the Seine. Secrecy is maintained with regard to the nature of this fuel. It is known, however, to have one singular quality, it will not burn, explode, or catch fire in the open air, and a rag saturated in it is uninflammable. Apart from this all that is known is that it is of a dark brown colour, lias a density of 955, which is more than that of Diesel motor oil. as* against the figure of 720 for aviation spirit, and is claimed to give an economy of 30 per cent, in weight, that is to say, that the same weight of fuel would turn a motor for a time nearly a third as long again as in the case of petrol. “UNCORKER OF OCEAN BOTTLES.” —Every now and then a bottle is washed up from the sea at some kindly spot on the coast where there are no rocks to smash it. Most of them are empty, the virtue (whatever it was) having gone out of them, but a few contain messages which are seldom anything but weaklyconceived hoaxes. The seaborne bottle has seen better days. It is recalled in the "Nautical Magazine” that Queen Elizabeth had an official “Uncorker or Ocean Bottles.” The first holder of the office was one Tontield, who, in the year 1615. opened no less than 50 bottles—bottles which were taken from the sea. It appears that the appointment was made because in 1598 a fisherman found a bottle containing - a parchment which, on examination by the Lord High AdmiruL was found to contain an account of the seizing of Nova Zembla the Dutcih. Bottles deserved scrutiny ' ifter that.
