The Crying Need of Sea Coast Befenses
-sfAn Ounce of PreveRIIon"-An In
teresting Lecture by MAI or King.
The last of the mlit ary lectures was given
last night by Major w. R. King in North
Sheffield hall. He said that our sea coast
defenses have bean sadly neglected. No ma
ton is justified in neglscting the forti6cation
of her coast. O. An ounce Of prevention is
better than pound of cure.' During the
late war had the coast defense been duly at
tended to beforehand thousands of valuable
lives would have been saved. We have as
yet no real Notifications. Most of our So
called Notifications are at least twenty years
too obsolete. No matter how msek we may
be, war may be forced upon us. And then
if we find ourselves defenseless, alas it is TOO
late to grieve. Sea coast defenseg are not to
be gotten up in a week.
The primary purpose of defense is to pre-
vent the enemy, to stop them short For
this end guns of sufficient power ana strong
vessels to carry them are Immediately neces-
sary. England possesses twenty-five of such
guns, guns that can cope with any in the
world, Russia 4, Germany 1. The ship must
be covered, the deck and al, with steel armor
of proper thickness. Some Turkish nnen-of-
war are so completely covered that it is i'm
possible HOT only W AttaCh, Dub even w Ao0h
in. A few important points along our shore
must needs be provided with guns of eight
miles range, the earthworks and parapets
covered with iron plate.
Auxiliary defenses. These are intended to
detain the enemy; torpedees for example.
Defensive torpedoes contain from one to two
hundred dy NANTES. They are sunk in water
SO that even at low tide they could not be
discovered. Yet there are also floating ones
Explosion is to be executed unseen. Re
course is taken in electricity. The operator
is guided by map and uses his judgment or
receives a signal in firing. Offensive terpe-
does are self-moving. The compressed air
or csrbonic acid gas is forced in. Electricity
is sent from dynamos on shore by cable.
Some of these moving torpe9oes travel seven
