TO STEER FROM SHORE.
An Invention For Sending Torpedoes
Wherever Desired.

London, Jan. 1S.-Lieutenant Com
mander Colwell, the United States ma
at YoeviI, the test of an invention Of
fered to the United States government
for steering torpedoes and submarine
craft by means of a wireless electrical
device, on the lines of the Marconi sys-
TEN.
The invention, however, is no way
connected with Signor Marconi.
The patents are held by Cecil Vari-
cas-, an English inventor, as employee OF
A. c. Higgs, United States consul, agent
at Weymouth. The experiments left no
doubt that craft can be directed by
means of an ether wave, the model be-
ing controlled by a shore motor with no
other connection save the current work
ing upon the rudder. The inventor
claims that this can be applied to tor
pedoes and submarine craft
Lieutenant Commander Colwen will

New York, Jan. 1S-Foreign houses will
buy about $4,000 shares on balance. The
position of the British troops has ma
teria1ly improved in South Africa. Our
market should do decidedly better. Hold
Southern Pacific for substantial gains
Buy some Union Pacific on any recession.
Further short covering of Manhattan will
be in order. There are realizing sales on
B. & O., common. The buying of Union
Pacific. common, is very confident. That
the company is making q great deal of
money now is not to be doubted.
