MR. DYER’S BREAKWATER INVENTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sib, —I read some time ago in your columns a very interesting account of an ingenious in-; vention by Mr. Dyer, for the construction of sea walls and breakwaters, by means of conical metallic tubes, fixed close together, with their open ends towards the advancing waves. Have the inventor and his friends made due allowance for the action of shellfish aqd other marine objects, which have a tendency to occupy such spaces as these tubular surfaces would expose to them ?—I am, &0., Inquirer. Wellington, August 8.
