A Mysterious Blow.

An army officer is reported to have in
invented wonderful electrical system
of auxiliary harbor defenses.
1t is claimed that the device is so con-
structed that if a single ship or feet Of
any number of vessels attempts to enter
a harbor where the system has been in
troduced each ship could be struck p
blow with what or in what way it is
not stated equal to $1,000 tons, and the
blow would come from overhead, out of
the air, as the ship crossed a certain line.
The mysterious blow, it is stated, is to
come vertically, and is to strike upon
the part OF the ship where it will do the
most permanent harm. Twenty Of these
Thorhammer blows can be struck in ten
seconds of time Several army officers
and naval experts are said TO have in
yestigated the method, and are reported
to have agreed that the blow could GER
tainly be struck within foot or two OF
the point indicated.
1t is further said that the blow cannot
be warded or conducted of, as stroke
