Can the Wizard Do LIZ

Fish can breathe or extract oxygen
from the water. Why should not men
In submarines be able to do the same
thing and thus make it possible to
stay under the surface for weeks?'
Thomas A. Edison asked the question
on the occasion of his first visit on
battleship and in a submarine a few
days ago, and answers it nonchalantly
with: 1T can be done in half an hour s
work.
This is rather important if true, to
be able to equip these underwater
craft with fish gills, as it were, and
the wizard" usually does what he
says he can do. Such an equipment
must vastly Increase the efficiency of
the submarine as am arm of the navy,
and 1t Is already question. whether 1t
Is not destined to displace the dread
