A RIFLE KILLS UNDER WATER.

A German inventor has come to the
aid of the worker Under water, the
diver who is threatened by sharks
and other monsters of the sea. Hither-
TO the diver in dangerous waters has
had TO rely for his safety, on the use
Of the knife. or, failing in that. upon
quick return to the surface.
The German has invented a rife
that can be free under water and Is
designed for the complete arming OF
the diver The strange feature about
this device is that is fires not bullets,
but water. which is driven with such
force that It penetrates with remark
able power. Indeed, it is claimed that
the inventor has pierced armor plates
OF ordinary thickness with the water
jet from this strange weapon.
The water rifle has a stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge encased
in India rubber It is worthy OF
note, in this connection, that in the
Sos experiments We're made with a
submarine rife firing small explosive
projestiles by means Of compressed
air. but the invention never sot
beyond the experimental stage.
