Color of Stealthy Torpedo Boats.

The German fleet has been making trials with different colored paint for the outsides of torpedo boats. The authorities are dissatisfied with the deep black color which has hitherto been in use, but they have discovered that no color Is suitable for all seas. It has now been decided to employ a gray-brown color as being to the least noticeable in the Baltic and other northern waters. •No change is contemplated in the color of the paint used for German ironclads, bluish gray being found the most serviceable both by day and by night.
