Half a block OF ground II covered and 1t

Magnets to Destroy Ships.
BERLIN, May ia startling naval
invention for the protection of the
German coast, harbors and seaports is
receiving the serious attention of the
German naval authorities. German
naval engineer, named Holman, APP
piled to the German Patent Office for
a provisional patent for an invention
which IS intended to destroy any hos
tile fleet attempting to blockade or
attack German ports.
According to the inventor, stations
must be erected along the coast and at
the mouths Of rivers, which viii be
equipped with the strongest electric
magnets that can be manufactured.
When these are in action, it is claim
ed that they would exercise sufficient
attractive force 10 make ironelads and
other protected vessels deviate from
their course. These magnet stations
are to be situated where shallow and
deep water alternate. The hostile
ships would be drawn into the shallow
water, where they would ground and
lie helpless, at the mercy Of the guns
Of the forts
Although the invention smacks
strongly of romance, yet it is note
worthy that competent authorities
deem it Of sufficient Importance to be
subjected to a thorough examination.
In this connection, it may be added
that electric cranes capable of lifting
weights of five tons by magnetism only
are already in use at German harbors.
Coal for Navy.
Contracts have been let by the Navy
Department for the transportation of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-05-31

about $4,000 tons of coal from the
Atlantic coast to the navy yards at
Mare Island, Cal, and Bremerton,
Wash, at 1929 ton. The New York
and Porto Rico Steamship Company of
New York secured contract for three
fourths of the quantity, and Bowring
g. Co. of New York secured the con-
tract for the remainder. -Four steamers
will take about 24,000 tons to Mare
Island, three of these will be supplied
by the New York and Porto Rico Com
pany and the other by Bowring & Co.
The other four steamers viii carry
like quantity to Bremerton, three of
the vessels being supplied by the New
York and Porto Rico Company. The
coal viii be loaded at points on the
Atlantic coast, where contractors sup
plying the government have their coal
ing piers. Some of the steamers will
sail from Baltimore and Lambert s
Point, and others fEom New York and
