How the Baltimore May Some Day
Search for an Enemy.


A very brilliant and successful test of the
search light" was made from the Balti-
more last evening, the night being we'll
adapted for that purpose.
In times of war the electrical search light
enables the officer of the deck to know al
most to an absolute certainty that no torpe-
do boat Is in his immediate vicinity. 1t is
dark lantern on big SCALE,
The sudden flashes of.light shot here and
there through the darkness, making wide
spaces of the water as light as day. Just
before one of the flashes those who were
watching the making of the test heard a
sound such as might be made by very eau
tious rowing. A second later and the flash
came, lighting up the water in the directlon
of Diamond Island. and showing boat
close by the side of the war ship. Some
oarsman had thought "Now if this was
torpedo boat could put it alongside the
Baltimore without being observed" and had
tried to prove that he was right, but he was
heard and was left in stream Of light, flow
ing as it seemed. for the effect of the waver-
ing light was at times strangely like that of
a river, through the blackness of the night
LUG luclu6ut was SllBHI III lteolp pub very
satisfactory for all that, for if the sound Of
cautious rowing could be heard in crowded
harbor, what chance would boat have of
getting alongside unietected If it was all the
craft moving in the harbor?
A very fine effect was produced when the
flash was turned on the Petrol and Dolphin
and the two came suddenly out of the dark
ness. The idea of sudden discovery of an
enemy was more than suggested. There
stood the men of the two ships by their guns,
as itseemed, and the coming battle scene
was well brought out All things consid.
cred that was the finest effect of the evening
The great power of the light was well
demonstrated when the line of cottages on
the shore of Peaks Island was suddenly
brought to view. The test was not only 9
success, b. those who watched the making
| of it enjoyed unique exhibition and gained
some idea of how science is coming to the
aid of modern ships Of war.
