Invents Torpedo Boat.

The government has consented to listen to the claims made by Dr, Alsbau, the woman doctor, for her latest Invention, a torpedo boat. If the experts are favorably impressed at the hearing a trial of the boat will soon be made. The chief novelty of the device, as claimed by the Inventors, is that, after leaving its projecting mechanism, It separates, the main portion continuing on its course under the water, while the other section rises to the surface, continues its flight through

the air, and strikes the target above the water line. The invention is called the “JustAlsbau torpedo.” Dr. Alsbau is an attractive woman, still young, who has patented several electric devices.
