A Novel Swimming Dress.

A swimming dress, resembling
divers dress, and made Of double india
rubber, has. according TO a foreign
contemporary, been adopted in the
German navy. On the chest is valve
through which air is blown into the
interior of the dress, which covers the
whole body and leaves only the face
free. To prevent the swimmer from
being too much tossed about the sea.
the space around the chest is especi-
ally large. The swimmer wears belt,
which divides the dress into two parts,
TO prevent too great loss of air If the
dress should be torn about the legs,
and consequent difficulty in swimming.
The swimmer wears shoes with leaden
solles to secure his equilibrium, ard
for his defense a dagger, which is
fastened to the girdle. The swimmers
are to be employed for the blowing up
OF mines and hostile craft and are pro-
vided with a box containing an explOs-
i've charge, which they have 70 fasten
70 mine or craft. and ignite. Before
tie explosion occurs they are out OF
ghs reach of danger. The swimming
d,ass has already been tried in Ger
rray. During the attack on the har-
Scr Of Kiel on August 20, swimmers
vert dispatched from the ironclads TO
dn.troy the mines closing the port.
