NOVEL FLOATING DOCK.
TOR USE AT SEA. A VALUABLE INVENTION. (Received Monday, 7 p.m.) BERLIN, February 21. A Hamburg engineer has invented a floating dock for effecting repairs on the high seas. The dock is two hundred yards long and is capable of a speed of fourteen miles an hour. The base and sides consist of air chambers which can be filled or emptied to lower or raise the dock, which is capable of dealing with ships of fifteen thousand tons. Several foreign marine departments, including the British, are negotiating with the inventor.—(A. and N.Z.)
