Ericsson's New TOrpdedo Boat.
Providence tR. Il Journal.


Captain Ericsson, the inventor of the
Monitor which revOlutionized the sys-
tenn of naval warfare almost as COM
pletcly as gunpowder changed that Of
armies, has now built and launched a
torpedo boat, against which he believes
the stoutest ironclads will DC perfectly
helpless. 1t will not depend upon sur
prising its antagonists, and therefore be
absolutel y neutralized, as all existing
torpedo boats are now able to be, by q
sufficiency Of vigilance and light, and
will not require the combined attack Of
a fleet of boats in which the most NAV
be sacrificed at the chance of the sue
cess of one. On the contrary it is strong
enough to make its attack by daylight
and alone, and to-day, when more than
reasonable chance Of impunity, the
heaviest proiectile that can be brought
againstit. The Ericsson torpedo boat
is so constructed that but the smallest
portion appears above water, and that
is of such strength and shape that no
known projectile will be able to effect
it. The torpedoes themselves are
supplied with such motive power by
compressed air that they go with the
Tapidity of shot, and with a force such
as no netting or protective device that
would not be entirely too cumbrous to
use could withstand. This irresisti-
bility of attack and destruction is what
Captain Ericsson believes he has ac-
complished, and his practical success in
other matters, as we'll as deservedly
high reputation as a scientific inventor,
are guarantees that he has succeeded in
some very important degree, if not to
the extent which he claims. If it is
SO the irOnclads will be practically as use
less as were wooden vessels Of war after
the invention Of the Monitor. Already
in the race between projectiles and
armor the former are considerably
ahead, and nothing but the discovery of
some new method of making iron more
reslstible at its present weight can
bring the defensive power again in adj
vance. The invention of such torpc-
do boat as that of Captain Ericsson
throws armor still farther in the rear,
and threatens to strip the heavy plating
almost entirely from the war ship Of the
future, and to call for new qualities Of
speed rather than immovable strength !;
and until something to neutralize iC is
invented, to make naval warfare in q
great measure impossible by its very
it is twice given in the life of a peaceful
inventor to revOlutiOnize the naval war
fare Of the civilized world, and to COM
pei the great nations to twice rebuild
their fleets.

the Fiend, retreating to the door, breath

the horrors, "please throw me over a

the editor, unmoved, Il would recon-

it, remarking: It's the Grenada Sun,
