LONDON. July 20.-The appointment
of an invention board of scientific
men, with Lord Fisher as its head, to
assist the British navy was largely
the result of suggestion made by
Lord Bryce to the house Of lords and
followed a discussion in which sim
liar proposals were made by Sir Will
liam Ramsay and the other eminent
scientists.
The admiralty received $4,000 offers
of scientific devices in the first five
months Of the war. Many were from
Americans. Another 5000 came in
the last five months. OF the first &c.

crank" proposals. and reduced to
twenty-five the number which in the
boards judgment were worthy of any
attention. Another board reduced them
to just two. These two are being work
ed out with every precaution of
secrecy.
Elaborate trials have been made of
one OF these devices in English waters
and in actual service at the OAR
danelles. The trials give promise of
rendering a battleship immune from
