White County Man Said to Have Practicable Invention.

The Monticello Journal prints at length an article saying that Victor Martin, of Cass township, White county, has an invention which will allow submerged submarine sailors to escape. At the present time the real workmanship of the invention is kept a secret. It is said that enough of the plans have been submitted to Secretary Daniels to interest him and that Martin may 'be called before the board of naval engineers to submit his plans in full. It is also reported that Mr. Martin has been offered large sums, which he has refused, f<xr his idea, even in an unpatented state.
