THE TORPEDO BOAT.
Besides constructing a torpedo that does
not require handling after it has been
launched the fertile brain of the inventor
mas hit upon the pla of building a special
boat TO carry torpedOes, with apparatus
toc starting them-sinall, light-draught,
active vessels that can go all around
large craft and make it extremely unpIeas-
ant for an enemy. Ire question of the
extent to which the torpedo can be de-
yeloped and deDended upol in naval war
fare IS beins generally discus sed, both in
this country and abroad, aud paper re-
Gently written by Admiral Albini of the
British navy. of which All abstract is given
IN the last publication of the naval inteli-
gence office, gives considerable space to
TINS topic, besides showing what may be
taken as the English attitude.
TORPEDO AND TORPEDO BOATS.
He has great faith in the torpedo of the
present day and its future DEVELOPMENT,
but places no confidence in torpedo boats, es-
pecially the smaller types Regarding them
he says: ITO admit that it is the duty of
the torpedo boat to defend the battle ship is
to recognise the impotence of the large
ship against her puny adversary, aud if in
order TO exist the ships must depend on the
support of these satellites we must confess
that their existence would not be jus flied
and that it would be better to give up
building them in the future How the tor
pedo boat can contribute effica-
ciously to the defense of large
ship | fail to understand, and the reason
is evident. If they keep within the distance
of 400 yards from the ship they will in 10
way impede the attack, seeing that if the
enemys torpedo boat reaches tn 1t limit,
hnox 4 n
have fulfilled her mission, as she will have
been abs to launch her torpedo az he
striking range. II they keep between 400
and 1000 yards off they will interfere with
the fire of tine ships artillery, which is
much more efiicacious than that of her sat
elite, because better distributed, more rapid
and more powerful. Ii, on the other hand,
they remain within the orbit OF the ship,
at distance beyond 1900 yards, they will
afford no protection at all, because, though
barring one door of approach, they leave u
dozen open.

ITS DEVELOPMENT.

IF the question is asked, in what way
and for what reason the torpedo lt.elf will
be developed, the reply is that TIE torpedo
must follow tho analogous progress which
led from the 25-ton gun to that of 100 tons.
In other words, the eternal struggle between
offense and defense will shortly be ex-
tended to the torpedo and the hull of d shin.
SO long as the torpedo was confined 10
small special craft of slow speed, ami con
SeQuently its power was not full. SHOWN il
was natural that naval architects should
not look upon it as q serious danger: iut
from the moment when considerable in
crease Of speed was given both to the weapon
itself and the boat which carried it. the
necessity OF providing defense against it
becomes obvious.
THE STRUGGLE HAS THUS COMMENCED.
'If TIE latest ships are fairly furnished
with protection We must an icipate that the
torpedo will shortly be considerably deyel-
ooe1 and will carry charges of 400 pou Ids
aud above, ard will probably take the form
OF penetrating projectlle discharged from
a subaqueous gun. Whatever increase of
power may be given to it the torpedo will
remain one of the most formidable weapons
of the large ship, but it will certainly never
realize the ambitious aim of causing the
large ship to disappear. Just as tue great
rise in the power of artillery led to the en-
tire abandonment of the old form of shin
and from the monitor type we have
progressed to the Duilio and the Lepanto,
so. If it IS intended to oppose the rising
power Of subaqueous weapons by ships
which are entirely secure against their
attack, we must give up the old ideas and
seek inspiration for the constructions of the
future at new fount. Battle ships will
have to be built principally with view to
resist with immunity tne attack of tor
pedoes and to avoid being sunk by artillery
fire. All other qualities must be satisfied
only within restricted limits; that is to say,
their measure must be determined in coz
formity with not too great extension of
size and of cost, those qualities which have
been given up in ord er to secure invulner-
ability being ass signed to special vessels"

Rev. John Love, it,, Phila., Pa.
As soon as the roads are in prop
er condition the cyclers will make
regular runs every Sunday.
The cyclers will sbortly.give a pic
uic in some secluded spot near the city.
The lady members of the club will be
driven out in carriages escorted by
the gentlemen on the wheels.
Mr.. Carl p. Swain, of the Fl.
Wayne bicycle club, and Mr.. Ralph
Daniels of the Missouri's ct. Louis,
applied for membership with the
Sedalis cyclers, and same were ac-
cepted at the regular meeting Friday
night.
The Sedalia cyclers propose to'get
a hump on themselves In the direc-
ton of enlarging their membership.
In all the cities of any prominence
the bicycle clubs, almost without ex-
ception, stand at the head of all clubs
socially and in point of members.
There is no reason why it should not
be so in Sedalia.

men as ever assembled. There are no
d 'scernable insects on the Missouri
wheelmen.
Now is the time to get that wheel
you have so long wanted. 1t is the
common expression that wheels are
too high, but taking into considera-
ton that some of the finest mechani-
cal talent in the country is en-
ployed, and millions of dollars in
vested in the building of bicycles. the
price is not at all out of proportion to
the cost of construction. A good
article generally comes high and is
always In demand.

THE WHEEL.
An Important Meeting of the Pet.
tbs County Wheel at La
monte Yesterday.

A meeting Of the Pettis County
Wheel held meeting at Lamonte yes
terday afternoon. Every lodge in the
county was represented and sat with
closed doors. Charles Dennis, of
Green Ridge, was president of the
meeting. Il is understood that the
object of the meeting was to arrange
with some merchant at Lamonte to sell
goods to all Wheelers at an advance
of 10 per cent. above cost or in the
event of their failure to make such AN
arrangement, to organize company
and start one of their own. The
meeting was secret and the most dill
gent pumping failed to induce any OF
the delegates to make public the result
of their deliberations.
The fact leaked out yesterday that
the Wheel has arranged for the pur-
chase of grounds aud the erection OF
All elevator to be controlled ami owned
by the County Wheel.

BASE BALL.
An Interesting Game of Base
Ball With Pyr0technieal
Features.

An intensely interesting game of base
ball took place on the NJ. Z. & I. grounds
yesterday afternoon between q picked nine
from the N. K. & 7. auditors Office and
similar nine from tie general freight de-
partu ent.
Ii was IN every respect most remark
able contest. The batting was simply
more or less terrific.
One drawback to the game was the buDg-
ling work of the umpire. He did not
seem to know the q C of base ball and his
decisions were constantly disputed by the
players In one or the other of the COM
panies 1t was q singular fact, which was
noticed by the spectators and commented
upon, that no matter which way he deci-
ded as much as one company agreed
with him, quite fortunate thing
for him had it not been for such backing
he would have been alternately thumped
severely by the companies.
The game wss called at 8 o'clock and at
shutdown the third inning had not ben
completed.
The general freight nine went to the bat
on first inning and made 81 runs to So
made by the Auditors Line.
The features Of the game, and indeed,
there were some remarks able ones, were the
dextrous manner in which Mr.. Henry
Coope, late of the Cincinnati Greens, laid
out his face into town lots while stopping
hy.
Leofborough aud Barbee, battery for the
general freight nine, did most efficient
work. There is a possibility that they
may sign with the Browns during the COM
ing season.
HOllister as 2nd base and Wilson as 3rd
base did not allow a ball to pass tine M,
while MELONS, as LIST base put out every
man that came in his way.
When the reporter came away the third
inning had not been completed and tae
score has not been learned, but judging
| from the manner the first two were PLAYED,
| 100 to 80 cannot be far out of the way.
The game was Witnessed By about three
hundred delighted spectators, many of
whom declared that basket of monkeys
could not have been more amusing.
