A Berlin scientific paper tells of new
device arranged by Swedish scientist
to reduce the danger of shallow water in
navigation. 1t consists Of simple water
kite, which is fastened to wire cable
and cast over the side of the ship. By
reason of the oblique pressure. the kite
sinks rapidly as far as its cable permits.
On the side of the winch scale and reg
ister tells the depths to which the kite
has descended. AS soon as the kite comes
in contact with any solid obstruction or
shallow bottom, a coupling is released,
which instantly slackens the tension of
the cable by changing the position of the
kite; this sets in motion an alarm bell on
deck, which attracts the attention of the
watch
