Th« loss of such vessels as the Waratah, Yongola, Rosedale,, and others without it becoming known how or where they disappeared, has led Mr J. J. Cooper, of Leichhardt, Sydney, to invent a process for marking the spot, or at least leaving behind some documentary evidence of where the vessel was wrecked and what really happened. Mr Cooper has patented a simple but apparently effective apparatus for the purpose named. It is a conical-shaped metal float, fitted with a flag-pole, and the flag flying Oft above the water. Inside this buoy or float there are hooks ior hanging the messages upon, also for attaching the ship's daily log and papers. At the bottom of the float is a larga reel, with 00 fathoms of wive line attached and at the end of the line is an anchor about 81b in weight. The lioat is intended to be hermetically sealed from the top side after tho documents are placed inside and the flag put into position. The whole of the apparatus can then be thrown overboard, and the anchor, as it sinks, will unwind the line from the reel, and when it reaches the bottom will keep the float in position. The top of the float is fitted with ropes, to act as a life-saving buoy for a number of people, who could hold on to it. and thus keep afloat for a very long time. WOMAN.
