New Plan For coaIino At s..

W. w. McLaren of Ensley. Ala, an
electrician. has submitted to the secre-
tary of the navy new scheme for
coaling ships at sea. McLaren intends
to have captive balloons attached to
two ships. one of which is to be q
naval collier and the other the vessel
to be coaled. The balloon is to be filled
with the coal from the collier and then
moved over to the other ship by paying
out the line from the collier and haul
ing in on the other vessel When the
car of the captive balloon is over the
vessel to be cOaled. flap in the bottom
of the balloon car is to be opened. and
the load of coal slides down into the
bunkers. Mr.. McIaren says that his
method is easier and quicker than the
present way.
