TRIPS BELOW THE WAVES.
A naval architect confidently predicts that submarine boats, will in future be used, not only in war but for carrying passengers. Such a method of travelling lie asserts, will be much more comfortable than voyagii g on the surface. There will he no rolling and tossing, and consequently no sea-sickness. Rain, snow, squalls, fogs, and thunderstorms may prevail overhead, hut the submarine boat will glide along safely sheltered from their’ effects in the warm deaths of the sea. For short distances, as for instance, between • over and Calais, it is suggested that submarines could be run by electricity along cables stretched from shore to shore. Such a method of travelling, it is asserted, would not only be very much safer and more comfortable than the ordinary marine locomotion, but considerably more economical.
