Not a few German sol- diers have succumbed to it there.

Nacy has developed a new tpye of mine, which according to the Scots- man, marks a new era in this branch of warfare. The German and French floating mines have not presented such a very dificult problem, be- cause it has been comparatively easy to sweep them up, owing to their suspension tackle. ' The new Brit- ish mine has no flots and no tackle. It can be ejected from 8. torpedo tube or incontinently thyown over- board. It desired, i cen be wet to rest on the sea flagr until the min- ute chosen by thosg Plgeing it, when it will come up, nat to the surface, but to the proper depth at which to meet the rushing.bows of a ship. As soon as the mine, flosting free, reaches a certain «.0. there is set up a series of movaments which put. into operation a tipy propeller and this kicks the mine yp to the proper level and then stops until again called upon. It is not mine easily caught in sweping operations, as it progresses under water in a serles of slow “leaps,” which never reveal it, as it cannot leap beyond its fix- ed limit of buoyancy.
