Without doubt auch an airbelt would prevent a vosal from foundering but the question the shipowner would ark would be how broad each a batt would need to be. In this in- vention the ship consists of an outside jacket or double skin, similar to that of the Aquitania, with the difference of having the jacket carried to the level of the apper deck and also an open slot running approximately three- fourths of the length of the vesasl in the jacket koel. The open slot allows free access to the water which rises between the sides of the vesel and the jacket to the water level, thus enclosing a belt of air between the natural water- line and the top of the jacket. The air belt that formed on either side is divided into air-tight compartments by tie or division plates, each allowing nocess of water from the open slot as de eoribed above. Thus a belt of air is formed extending round the ship, which oɔnstitutes an air cushion, and is more or less com pressed in the compartments 18 the ship rolls or pitches. Should the hull be pierced, every ton of water entering the vessel, and causing her to sink in the water, will compresa'the air imprisoned in the compartments of the jacket and increase the baoyancy of the ship. For every inch the vessel ink the greater becomes tends to the air pressure to prevent her sinking. Aleo, the more the chip rolls the granter becomes the resistanca to roll. In fact, the rolling can, it is claimed, be quite easily regulated to weather con ditjons by controlling the com crossed air by machinery. To the case of the Titanic and the Em presa of Ireland, this belt of air would, had either vessel been built on this design, have been com prossed during the fog, the ship being thus prepared for any em- ergonoy. The inventor, Mr. John Welch, an engineer of Newcistle. on-Tyne, positively contends that a model built on the lines of the Empress of Ireland and embody. ing bis ideas, even if cat on the one side to represent the damage of the Titanic, and on the other side that of the Empress of Ira land, and also loaded extra with 10 per cent, proportionste weight, would flat, leaving the deck hönses high and dry, as she would only take in water until it reached the water level oat- side. Along the open slot are eight or more propellers. running horizontally between the jacket and the hall, on vertical shafts, cach driven by separate motors from inside. These mo- tora are covered by water tight and driven by eleotria jackets cable from above. In the event
