An engineer at Glasgow (says a London paper) has astounded the Clyde shipbuilders by a small rotary turbine engine little more than one foot in diameter and capable of developing forty horse-powc. The new turbine will be known as the " Cortheay," and its inventor, a SwisSj claims that it will revolutionise turbine propulsion. Only two blades are used, against the many thousands in each of the new Cunarders. Tho new turbine is to be fitted on board an experimental torpedo boac, and a speed hitherto unknown will then be shown, says the inventor. All the necessary capital to float the company has been eagerly subscribed. Tho new turbine can be applied to locomotives and motor cars.
