THE WHITEHEAD TORPEDO.

The Howell torpedo is of American
origin and was invented by Captain
Howell, of the United States navy 1t
has not yet been tested in actual war
fare, but in the opinion of experts is the
better weapon of the two.
The Whitehead fish torpedo consists of
cigar shaped envelope of steel or bronze
divided into six compartments, as shown
in the illustration. No. contains the
firing arrangements and No. 2 the mech
a11ism for regulating the depth of the
torpedo below the surface of the water.
The third compartment is the reservoir
containing compressed air, the pressure
being upward of 1000 pounds per square
inch. In the fourth compartment is stored
away a small three cylinder engine
which is run by compressed air The
machinery puts two two-bladed propel-
lers into motion. AS they turn in oppo-
site directions the turning effect upon
the torpedo is thus neutralized. Com
partment 5 is the buoyancy chamber. 1t
is only an air tight shell filled with air at
atmospheric pressure. In actual service
an automatic arrangement admits water
to this chamber and causes the torpedo
to sink in case it is fired at an enemy
and fails to hit The bevel gear, caus-
ing the two propellers to work in oppo-
site directions, is placed in compart-
ment 6.
The vertical rudders are set at GER
tain angle before the torpedo is fired, &C
cording to the conditions existing and
the course the torpedo is to pursue.
In its appearance the Howell torpedo
much resembles the Whitehead. 1t has
four distinct detachable sections
namely, the nose, which carries the fir
ing pin and its connections; the head,
carrying the explosive charge and deto-
nator. A heavy fywheel and the shaft
gearing are placed in the main section
while the driving mechanism is carried
in the stern section. In order to prevent
accidents the nose piece with its firing
pin is screwed upon the head only at the
last moment before firing. It is chiefly
in its propelling machinery, which at
present is considered the most perfect in
existence, that the Howell torpedo diff
fers radically from the Whitehead.
The motive power Of the Howell is
derived from the heavy fywheel mount
ed in the main compartment, with its
axles at right angles to the longitude
nal section of the torpedo. A motor is
attached to the fywheel and spins it
around at the rate of 5000 revolutions
per minute. There is in Howell tor
pedo stored force of 10000 foot pounds
available for propulsion, etc., and as the
gyroscope principle is utilized, the fly
wheel has a great directive power and
keeps the torpedo in the direction in
which it was pointed when fred from
the tube. On the other hand, the great
directive power of the fywheel does
away with the necessity of vertical rud-
ders-another great gain over the White
head.
Though the Howell is the smaller of
the two torpedoes it is more easily
handled than the Whitehead, has much
better directive qualities and in proper

A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir-I would like to tell you of our ex
perience with your Liquid Food, for feel very
sure that in the mercy of God it saved my hus'
bands life.
Two years ago, my husband worn out with ex-
cessive watching and anxiety by reason OF a
severe illness of mine, together with the
pressure of his duties as principal OF high
school, broke down completely, nervous ex-
haustion, severe rhematism, amounting almost
to rheumatic fever, and complete arrangement
of the digestive system, SO that he could not
keep milk on his stomach, or the simplest nour-
ishment, brought him down very low.
Our physician, nearly in despair, tried one
thing after another, but all to no good. At last
he hit on your Liquid Food; the effect was mag
ical. The very first dose made itself felt like a
thrill of new life; his Improvement was very
rapid, his appetite ravenous, and he gained flesh
very fast. His rheumatism, too, which had
troubled him exceedingly for several years, was
very much relieved, and, in short, he seemed
and felt like new man. To all who knew him
and his former condition, he was walking
advertisement of Murdock's Liquid Food. Since
that time, when he becomes debilitated through
oyerwork or indigestion, a little of the Liquid
Food will soon set him right again.
Feeling that we both owe you large debt OF
gratitude, and this acknowledgment of the
benefit received, I am,
Yours respectfully,
MRS. PERCIVAL f. MARSTON,

THE HOWELL TORPEDO.


ton to its weight carries a larger
charge Under such conditions it is at
once evident that the Howell torpedo
must be the better of the two.
For launching a torpedo central pivot
ing tube is generally used. 1t is mount
ed either on the deck of a topedo boat
or on board ship, and is as a matter of
fact a smoothbore breechloading gun
which can be turned and pointed in any
direction. A small pipe is secured to
the tube underneath and on each side,
the two pipes being connected at their
forward ends by cross pipe. One pipe
opens into the breech of the tube. The
other pipe. being fitted at its rear end
like breechloading gun, receives a
small charge of powder used for firing
the torpedo from the tube
The firing is done in the following
manner: The torpedo is placed @in the
launching tube and the door closed and
secured by lever. Then a cartridge
containing less than half pound of
powder is placed in the pipe on the right
side of the tube. When all is ready the
cartridge is exploded and the expansion
of the powder gas congresses the air in
the left pipe, and the compressed air en-
tering the breech Of the tube ELECTS the
torpedo therefrom. The direct action
of powder on torpedo would cause
shock which would explode the former
in the tube, and thus instead of destroy
ing an enemy it would blow into atoms
the firing vessel.
If the torpedo is fred from an above
water tube, as the one described, it be-
gins its flight in the air. Striking the
water it sinks into the desired depth and
is then controlled by its own rudders
and propelled by its own machinery.
Underwater tubes are constructed on
nearly the same principle as above-water
tubes, and placed at the bow, stern and
each side Of the vessel.

The course of lectures to be delivered
before the Augusta Blaine club this win
ter by the candidates for Congress in the
Third district opened on Wednesday with
lecture by the Hon. S. L. Milliken on
the tariff. The speaker discussed the
question very clearly, explaining the
difference between tariff for revenue
only and tariff for protection, and
pointing out the superiority of the latter
as a means of fostering home industry.
Mr.. Milliken has also prepared an inter
esting statistical paper on the appropria-
lions which Congress has passed
for the benefit of public buildings
and river and harbor improvements
in the third district during MI.
Milliken's term of Office. The paper is
published simultaneously in the Republi-
can papers in the Third district. Judg-
ing from the showing there is not much
left for Congress to do in the way of
public works in that district, unless to
build the Shore Line Railroad and gather
the ice crop on the Kennebec.

The editor of the Atlanta Constitution
writes to a gentleman in Hope, in this
state, in explanation of the views of his
paper in regard to the Democratic nomi-
nee for the Presidency. His idea is that
the party should defer to the wishes of
the doubtful states of New York, Indi-
ana and New Jersey. If they are for Hill
then Hill should be nominated; if for
Cleveland, then Cleveland should be the
candidate. AS Hill carries the bigges1
of those states in his vest pocket the in
evitable outcome of deferring to the Con-
stitution's views will be the nomination
of Hill.

We again call the attention of Republi-
cans to the fact that only two days more
remain on which the Board of Registra-

much inconvenience later on and perhaps
failure to get on the list at all. Citizens
who want to take part in the municipal
election in March, and every citizen
should. ought to register now.

What proof has the Argus to offer that
license has diminished drinking and
drunkenness in Baltimore?

The Argus accuses us of unfairness in
our statement of the classes that are pro-
tected by license laws. 1t says that the
Baltimore license law excludes not only
drunkards and imbeciles, but minors and
disreputable persons. So the classes of
people protected by the license law would
read, as amended, drunkards, imbeciles,
disreputable persons and minors.

It is rather too bad to undertake to

the delay in the settlement of the Gillian

Clergyman and Demand
Protection.

PTTsBURG. Pa, Dec. 1.-Never before
in the history of Pittsburg was such a
scene witnessed as that IN the city hall
this afternoon. At least $50 inmates of
disorderly houses, who were ordered to
leave the city by tomorrow afternoon,
gathered in the mayors Office. They
were of all grades and conditions of their
class of society. The women insisted
upon seeing Mayor Gourley, and when
he made his appearance they wanted to
know what they were to do. Mayor
Gourley made speech.
One OF the females said: "Some of
these women, in fact great number OF
them, live away from here. They have
no money and no friends, and what are
they to do?"
"but l will try and see what the minis
ters will do aid let you know by tomor-
row afternoon"
The women went down Smithfeld
street and Fifth avenue, attracting g
great deal of attention.
The ministers of the city propose at
once to take care of the women. The
Care OF the Fallen will be the subject of
discussion at next Mondays meeting of
the ministers, and steps will be taken
to provide homes for those who would
lead moral lives.
Hundreds of women left today for
other cities, many going to Wheeling,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and
Chicago.
This evening delegation OF 12 or Is
colored prostitutes called at the resi-
dence OF Rev. DR.. McCrary of the Third
United Presbyterian church and asked
for protection. He had been leader in
the movement against the socialevil,
and prominent in the Sunday closing
crusade. He told the women that he
could do nothing for them. While he
was talking, a large crowd gathered
about the house and INDUCED in cat
calls. The women then began to sing
Nearer, My God, to Thee, but the sound
of an approaching patrol wagon caused
the crowd to disperse.
