Blowing Up the Fishes.


Mr.. Ramsey and Gen. Sherman visited
the Notifications in the East River and
Long Island Sound yesterday. At Will
lett's Point an electric battery was con-
nected with three torpedoes, each laden
with one hundred pounds of powder.
The whereabouts of each was indicated
by buoy. Heretofore the disadvantage
Of torpedoes so placed has been that the
enemy, by approaching them cautiously,
could remove without exploding them.
To obviate this Gen. Newton has inven-
ted system by which q gun from a
neighboring parapet covers each torpedo,
and if one Of the torpedoes is handled the
fire of a heavy piece of ordnance is imme-
diately drawn upon it.
Yesterday one of the torpedoes lying
off the long wharf at Willetts Point was
disturbed by means Of an electric bat
terry. Almost instantly a gun upon the
parapet above belched forth, and per-
feet shower of canister was poured upon
the buoy beneath which the submarine
torpedo was anchored. After this Col.
Abbott made the connection between the
shore and the torpedo. When a spark
was sent through the insulated wire by
means of small dynamo-electric ma.
chine the torpedo exploded. The water
rose like huge waterspout, and even
the wharf itself trembIed. Thousands
of fishes jumped high out of the water,
and then, by reason of tremendous
shock, foated lifeless. After this score
of fishermen pulled out from the chan
