PARIS. Sept. 10. (By mail.)-
Thanks to the invention of Monsieur
w. A. 10th. a French scientist work
ling under the auspices of the French
ministry of marine, ships in the
future may be guided by electric
cable laid along ocean beds. The
same principle will also be used in
guiding airplanes.
BY means of this new discovery,
which has just been officially tested
and approved by the French ministry
of marine, it will be possible in the
future for both ships and airplanes
lin the stormiest and cloudest weather
that prevents the taking OF observa-
tons. to keep mathematically TO their
course.
| While it is confidently believed that
this new invention will revolutionize
commercial navigation, both by sea
and air, it is asserted that the posi-
bilities to which it can be developed
for war purposes are even infinitely
greater. But on this latter aspect
of the case, French marine and aerial
authorities refuse to talk.
10th developed his idea in labora-
tory work before the war, but it was
only with the close of hostilhies that
he could proceed to actual expert
ments. These have been conducted
of Brest and it was there that Min
| lister of Marine Landry made his Off
cial inspection and test. .
Like nearly all great discoveries,
the present one is exceedingly simple.
An electric cable is laid along the
ocean bed, and in actual navigation
these would be laid along all the
great trans-ocean routes. Over Thu
