Electrolysis causes it burn when it hits the water. Gunnar A. F. Winckler of Boston, the inventor, demonstrated the appa~ ratus at Fort McHenry last night. He asserts the invention always works and would save many lives, as it would lizhtupthewmullthemneo(. wreck and make floating objects and humans discernible. Members of the Inspection Board seemed pleased with the demonstra- tion. J. B. Weaver, director of the Bureau of Navigation and steamboat inspec- tion, and Dickerson N.
