To cluded in the party was Major Buckley, military adviser to the Federal Forces of Austraila, who was present in a private capacity. The izventor who has been conducting these ex- perimenta is Mr. A. G. Roberts, a- wail-known' Australian engineer, who was formerly chief electricia to the Perth Electric Tramways.

The inventor was put to a severe test, but he was able to demonstrate abrola e control over the worklog parts of the dirigible by means of the electrical waves, Mr. Roberts also showed how, by merely touching the coil, a bomb could be discharged from the dirigible at any given place.

SUBMERSIBLE TORPEDO,

Mr. Rõburis then showed the party his sab-' mersible torpedo, which, he claimed, could be kopt under absolate control by the Hentzina waves. If the torpedo missed its object, it could be guided antil it strack home. The torpedo was not shown in working order, but a motoriaunch; in which passengers were taken, was sent out on Dagenham" lako, and its movements controlled by the inventors' wire. less plant on the bank, The inventor also showed an aeroplane with automatic stability. This was given' to it by means of gyroscope, which could be similarly operated by wireless slectricity. These aeroplanes, claimed the in- ventor, were not dependents on the state of the 'weather, and booms could be released from them in the same manuer as from the dirigible,
