THE application of the ''Flettner principle" of the saess sailing ship is not new according to an Englishman, who is preparing to claim all patent rights in Great Britain in the invention He as serts that he applied for patent right for the rotor principle in 1915 and received them in 1917. The invention was repeatedly offered to the British gov ernment during the world war, it is asserted, but the officials too busy to examine the scheme. Yet the principle, regardless of whether it was ap piled first by German Englishman, is as interesting as it is simple. The rotor ship has no sails, but two tall cylinders which turned on their axes by small motor. The action of the wind against the rotating cylinders is said to give a speed several times greater than that attained by ordinary sails, while the smaller expense and the conservation of space, which is mighty factor on any ship, considerations of importance. The practcability of the scheme, however remains to be definitely proved
