Capt. Lays Internal machine, which
is now being experimental with at
Washington, if it does half that is
promised for it, will practically make
an end of naval warfare, for no armor
nor guns would avail against it, and it
would destroy any vessel that could
be set afloat before single shot could
be fire. 1t consists of q small, subma-
rine, cigar shaped craft, propelled by
chemical engines, and steered by q
telegraphic apparatus communicating
with the shore or small feet craft from
which the machine is launched. 1t
carries barrel and half of dynamite
enough when exploded under the
largest iron-clad to blow her to atoms,
and the dynamite also is exploded
by electrical cnrrent transmitted
through wire connecting with the
shore or vessel from which the ma
chine is launched. All that Is needed to
sink the most formidable navy afioat
is fleet tag or two equipped with
say dozen of these machines, which
could be launched before the tug got
within range of the vessels to be de-
stroyed, and propelling themselves un-
der water with almost increditable
speed, could be steered by the tele-
graphic apparatus directly nnder the
hostile ships and exploded by an cleo
trio spark to destroy them. Should
the machine prove equal to this when
it gets into use, as shortly as IL would

more be thought OF than battles In

ruined as hit, and the number of
people who have been hit in var
ious ways is enormous. Large
losses have been sustained by the
holders of foreign bonds, and many
who have been accustomed to live
merrily on precarious incomes have
found their resources suddenly at
an end. But this is an element in
the general aggregate OF impecuni-
osity the importance OF which may
be easily exaggerated. London is
not much affected by the miserIes

ent. 1t is because steady people are
suffering that London shows signs
