ON THE BACK OF A TORPEDO,
The Strange Ride That Soldier
Muller Took.
STEERING AN ODD STE
STEED.
An Uncertain Seattle Tendency OF the
Invention to Take Dives Toward the
Bottom of the Sea-A Projectue
That Cleans Like a Streak OF Light.

New YORK, Sept. THE Sims
Edison torpedo that is constructed for
electric flight through water made an
experimental trip off Willetts point
with man seated in chair on its
back today. Persons familiar with
the appearance of the aquatic engine
know that it is shaped like a cigar
and that about four inches of the sur
face of it projects above the water.
It's smooth copper coating CLEANS like
streak of light when it is in rapid
motion.
The question OF its ability to bear
the weight of man, and the ability of
man to guide it when the electric cur
rent is forcing it through the water at
the rate of twenty miles an hour has
been for a long time the subject of
discussion among soldiers stationed
at the point. When it was resolved
to try it a soldier named Muller, who
had once been sailor, was chosen as
the man TO experiment with. The
action of the torpedo when in flight
is uncertain Sometimes it is down
at the bow and the next instant the
stern is submerged.

SOME OF ITS ECcESrRIcITIEs.

When it is launched it has been
known to dive straight to the bottom
and thus disturb the feelings Of scien-
tific gentlemen who have concocted
it. All these disadvantages were ex-
planned to Muller, but he didn't care.
He is a lightly built fellow, but a
strong swimmer. A chair was lashed
to the shining sides of the marine
terror, and early this morning all the
officers and soldiers were on the wharf
waiting anxiOusIy for the experiment
IN which mans life might be the
forfeit.
The commanding officer stood by
the dynamo and switch box, and the
cable through which the current ran
