Rifle for Undo Water Action.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife, oi, failing that, on d
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl,
a German diving Instructor, who has
constructed a rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that it
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such force that it has
an extraordinary power of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has

ness with the water jet from his
