ened to mar or to stop entirely the third

bled into the big concrete stands slowly
and We're almost lost in its wide reaches
The gloomy weather had discouraged
many from attending the game. and
there We're yawning gaps of vacant seats

RIne for under Water Use.

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 or, failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl,
a German diving Instructor, who has
constructed a rife 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 farce that it has
an extraordinary power Of penetration
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate Of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rifle has a stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge cased
in India rubber.
