The latest invention, gotten out to aid the Allies in clearing up European waters of German mines, is the Paravane. Shaped somewhat on the style of a torpedo, it is dragged through the waters by a tawler. The sharp knife seen on the top is used for cutting the chains that hold the mine in place. The mine, then floating to the top of the water, is exploded by rifle fire.</li></ul>
