Iron-CIads and Torpedoes.

lEOh-SiauS obe = P>N,~N-
It is pretty certain now that the contest
between monster guns and armor plates is
drawing near its end. and that victory will
declare Tor the guns. While the limit OF
size for cannon has not yet been reached
that of the thickness and consequent
weight of armor for sea-going war vessels
certainly has. In the course of time it
will be found that the tremendous shock
transmitted 10 ship by the firing OF her
enormous gun or guns will compel new
system of construction adapted to with
stand il. Considering this and the i'm
mensc penelrative power of proIeciiie'
over the resistance offered by armJr aud
the new models necessary for the carriage
of great guns the iron clads Of TO day
will soon be AS obsolete rs the Roman
galley propelled by oars. With this pros
pect In the near future the nations Ike the
United States that now have no iron clad
fleets must be congratulated, Tor their
money will be expended, when necessary
on the floating gun carriages that will
supersede the war ships of to-day. We
do not hesitate to predict that naval war
fare must in time oe conducted practically
according to the same tactics as now gov
ern field artillery in action. The gun
ships must be detached, and what may be
termed caisson, or ammunition ships, en-
ployed to supply them.
But another element OF destruction in
war threatens the whole iron-clad system
and must revolutioniz4 naval construction.
The torpedo is now the recognized wea-
pom for the attack and defence of harbors
and blockading squadrons. These invisi.
BILE mines dot the channels or shoot be-
meath the surface toward the doomed YES
sci. guided with unerring accuracy from
the shore o. the torpedo ships. The eff
feet of such terrible engines, when fired
under the side of great iron-clad, is to
insure her destruction beyond the shadow
of doubt. The greater the draught aud
displacement and armor weight of war
ship the greater resistance does she offer
to the upward explosion of torpedo. As
an Offset TO this resistance the energy OF
the explosion is increased by sinking the
torpedo to greater depth, where it comes
in contact with the ships bottom, which is
unprotected. At the depth of fifteen to
twenty feet below the water line the d.
rect force of the explosion is concentrated
in the line of least resistance, vertical
cylindrical space of comparatively small
diameter, like a great gun barrel. 1t is
as if a large cannon pointed upward
against the ships bottom was fired into
her at contact with the muzzie, but the
destructive effects are far greater Her
armor weight alone bears her down when
the waters pour 10 through the rent in her
sides, her deck timbers and bulkheads are
shattered, and she sinks an irreclaimable
wreck in a few minutes. Prudent gov
ernments like our own will therefore wait
until the ships of the future are designed,
and. in the meantime, so long as we have
torpedoes we can laugh at the iron-cads
of Europe. -Ne0 York Herald.
