SECTIONAL VIEW OF REpELLER's BOW
SHOWING:

A, gigantic gun used in projecting the inStanta-
neous motor; BIB, incline elevator used in loading
gun; G, loading chamber; D, bomb proof hood to
gun.
This projectile was not, in the ordin-
ary sense of the word, an explosive, and
was named by it's inventors ''The In
stantaneous Motor" It was discharged
from an ordinary cannon, but no gum
powder or other explosive compound
was used to propel it. The bomb pos
sessed in itself the necessary power Of
propulsion, and the gun was used merely
to give it the proper direction.
These bombs were cylindrical in form,
and pointed at the outer end. They were
filled with hundreds of small tubes, each
radiating outward from a central line.
pointed directly outward, while these in
its front portion were inclined forward
at slight angle, and those in the rear
portion backward at the same angle.
One tube at the end of the bomb, and
pointing directly backward, furnished
the motive power.
Each Of these tubes could exert force
passenger cars one mile, and this power
could be exerted instantaneously, so that
the difference in time in the starting of
train at one end of the mile and it's az
rival at the other would not be appre-
ciable. The difference in concUssionary
force between train moving at the rate
of mile in two minutes, or even one
noinutn and another train which moves
a mile in an instant, can easily be imag-
ined
In these bombs those tubes which
might direct their powers downward or
laterally upon the earth were capable of
instantaneously propelling every portion
of solid ground or rock to distance of
two or three hundred yards. while the
particles Of objects on the surface of the
earth were instantaneously removed to Il
far greater distance The tube which
propelled the bomb was of force grad
uated according to circumstances, and it
would carry bomb to as great a dis
tance as accurate observation for pur-
poses of aim could be made. Its force
was brought into action while in the
cannon by means of electricity, while
the same effect was produced in the
other tubes by the conclusion of the steel
head against the object aimed at.
What gave the tubes their power was
the jealousy guarded secret.
The method of aiming was as novel as
the bomb itself. In this process nothing
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-03-27

the personal equation was entirely elimi-
mated. The gun was so mounted that its
direction was accurately indicated by
graduated scales; there was an instru-
ment which was acted upon by the dip,
showed at any moment the position of
the gun with reference to the plane of
the sea surface.
Before the discharge of the cannon an
observation was taken by one of the sci
entific men which accurately determined
the distance to the object to be aimed at,
and reference to carefully prepared
mathematical table showed to what
points on the graduated scales the gun
should be adjusted; and the instant that
the muzzle of the cannon was in the po-
sition that it was when the observation
was taken button was touched, and the
bomb was instantaneously placed on
the spot aimed at. The exactness with
which the propelling force of the bomb
could be determined was an important
factor in this method of aiming.
AS soon as three of the spring armored
vessels and five ''crabs" were completed,
the syndicate felt itself ready to begin
operations. 1t was indeed time. The seas
had been covered with American and
British merchantmen fastening home
ward, or to friendly ports, before the
actual commencement of hostilities. But
all had not been fortunate enough to
reach safety within the limits of time
allowed, and several American mer-
chantmen had been already captured by
fast British cruisers.
The members of the syndicate we'll
understood that if war was to be car
ried on as they desired, they must strike
the first real blow. Comparatively speak
ing, very short time had elapsed. since
the declaration Of war, and the opportu-
tunity to take the initiative was still open.
1t was in order to take this initiative
that, in the early hours Of July morn.
ing, two of the syndicate's armored
vessels, each accompanied by a crab,
steamed out of New England port, and
headed for the point on the Canadian
coast where it had been decided to open
the campaign.
The vessels of the syndicate had no in
dividual names. The spring armored
ships were termed ''repellers," and were
numbered, and the crabs were known by
the letters of the alphabet. Each repelle1
was in charge of director of naval
operations; and the whole naval force OF
the syndicate was under the command
of director-in-chief. On this momen-
tous occasion this officer was on board OF
Repeller No. /, and commanded the little
fleet.
The repellers. had never been vessels OF
great speed, and their present armor OF
steel strips, the lower portion of which
was frequently under water, considerably
retarded their progress, but each of them
was taken in tow by one of the swift and
powerful crabs, and with this assistance
they made very good time, reaching theil
destination on the morning of the second
day.
1t was on breezy day, with cloudy
sky, and the sea moderately smooth, that
the little fleet of the syndicate lay to off
the harbor of one of the principal Cana
dian seaports. About five miles away
the headlands on either side of the mouth
of the harbor could plainly be seen. II
had been decided that Repeller No. ]
should begin operations. Accordingly,
that vessel steamed about mile nearer

who desire to do SO may subscribe. Up to
date about Sl5, 900 has been subscribed, not
az good a showing, we regret to say, KS we
had expected. When we take into con-
sideration tho fact that cotton mills
throughout tho South are paying hand
some dividends and that manufacturing
enterprises of this character in TINS State
are exempt from taxation, we are surprised
at the apathy of our people i'll this matter.
We are satisfied that factory hero would
nav from the start besides iuiusing new life
and energy into every branch of business
and industry. II would give employment
to many people now here who are ont o.
,york-and it would bring many more here
not ONLY to seek employment but to invest
and go into business. 1t would build VI
