This new diving apparatus is the invention of Mr. Joseph Salim Peress, of Surrey, Mr. Peress is of Persian origin, and when he began work on his invention ten years ago he had in mind the pos- sibility of using the diving-suit- for recovering pearls from the virgin beds in the deeper waters of the Persian Gulf.
For the last ten years the pro posed lighthouse on Cape Columbine, which would bo big help on this particular stretch, has appeared in the estimates, and has regularly been cut out on the grounds of economy.
With a big range and a fog-signal comparable to that on Robben Island it would be a godsend to the naviga. tor, and as the estimated cost is only £18,000 it seems very peor economy. In consequence of the latest wreck the matter is being brought up afresh, and there appears to be every chance of something being done at last.
