the narrows, in an air line, and 15A
miles by channel. while the na--cws
are, in turn, seven and one-hslf miles
from the battery. The water spaces
within the ten-fathom line, off Rock
away Beach and Coney Island, and
comprising the channels of entry into
the harbor, could be so planted by NOV
ing torpedoes, all controlled from
shore, as to make it hazardous for an
enemy's vessel to enter them; so that a.
feet could not, in all probability, APP
proach within IT miles of the battery,
or is miles of the business center of
Brooklyn, for bombar6ment purposes
without serious risk of destruction.
At these distances New York could mott
be reached at all, and only the outly-I
ing districts of Brooklyn could be seri-
ously damaged, by even the heaviest
ordnance ahoat. Al
The army engineers have prepaEeN
elaborate plans for the location of sub
marine mines in all of the approached
and channels in the bays and harbor.
They consist of buoyant steel cases,
containing 400 or 500 pounds of dyna-
mite or other high explosive, and at
tached to heavy Mushroom" anchors
by length of cable, so that they will
stand in the channel Is or 20 feet below
the waters surface. Each mine is con-
nected by an electric cable to an oper-
oting station on shore, for example, at
Sandy Hook, the Dry Romer Shoal, 4
New Drop Beach, Norton's Point, (west1
end of Cony Island) Forts Wadsworthl
and Hamilton, at the Narrows, etc. At
the operating station are suitable bat
teries and keyboards so arranged that
the operator can explode any mine orI
group of mines at will. There is also
inaccurate chart covering the area con-
trolled by the station, and indicating
the exact location of each mine. BY
means of what is known as a range and
position finder, the movements of any
vesselwithin the area are followed from
the station with telescopes, and her pc
sition is shown on the chart. Whenever
this positioncoincides with the location
of a mine, the ship is over that mine,

them, and which really constitute
the only new application of electricity
in the whole category-we have but
three, all in the harbor of New York.
So not only can electricity do no
wonders for as, but we cannot at the
present time avail ourselves of the
plain and obvious application of it to
military purposes which we know.
A part of the money which congress
proposes to expend in fortifying the
seacoast should be devoted to the plac-
ing of these electrical devices in prac-
teal use at once. A reserve battalion
of electricians should be organized and
drilled in the handling of them, and ar
rangements should be made with the
great electrical workshops of the coun-
try which will insure not only a pres-
ent. but continuing, supply of every

to make it dodge like deXterous foot
ball player. Dynamite is slowed away
at the business end, and the fuse is also
fired by the guiding hand On shore.
At Willet's Point, in 1891, one of these
torpedoes, loaded with 500 pounds Of
dynamite, was manipulated at a speed
of 20 knots an hour for'two miles. The
English, in 1902, tried one of them by
maneuvering it from the deck of
steamer in motion, when il ran out
actually 1000 feet of cable inca shade
over four minutes, and was made to
twist and dive like an eel. A batch of
these would be ugly customers, no mat
ter how thorough might be the man-of-
wars protection of torpedo netting.
Only so horsepower in electric cur
rent is required to propel one of stand
ard size, and if 500 horsepower, or even
1000 horse power, of electricity were
put behind one, it would rush on its
prey several miles off, with liberal
ton or two of dynamite, and with alb
solute certainty of delivering the goods.
The machinery on shore which oper-
ated it could operate an endless sue
cesson il it were necessary.
Trolley forts are feature worthy of
consideration in coast defense. 1t is
not new to iron-clad locomotive and
car, and run them over a track, but it
would be new to adapt the light and
simple trolley to a system of movable
patrol forts, each covering several
miles of coast, and each equipped with
as heavy a gun as could he mounted
on big truck of broad gauge. Dyna-
mite shells can be fired from such
trolley fort at any point along 20 miles
of coast, the power house being located
midway. All the machinery for firing
dirigible torpedoes could also be
handled comfortably or such trolley
fort. The recoil even of big artillery
is easily provided for. If the road
were shorter very we:ghty pieces of
ordnance could be moved thus up and
down a mile or two of earthworks or
masonry. There are electric motors
on the Baltimore &c Ohio railroad to-
day hauling loads of 1900 to 1900 tons
at several miles an hour, and they could
certainly tow around fort and artil-
lery weighing less than quarter of
that. The same trolley road would be

THE ELECTRIC BALLOON.

send disintegrating currents to them
or even drag them upon rocks or shoals
by the attraction of powerful electro
magnets. In short, we cannot do. with
electricity anything that is wonderful
because occult or mysterious at all; nor
anything, indeed, of which the laws are
not just as certain and familiar to the
people whose bread and butter depends
on their knowing them as are the rules
for making bread or weighing butter
to the other people who keep bake
shops or groceries.
If electricity can help us to protect
our seaboard cities, we want to know
how it is to do so, and what we have
to do in order to fully utilize it, and
this without any muddling of it with
wizards" or wonders
ectricity-whatever it may be-is
of no use except through it's operation,
and the machines which it drives or
controls are what we depend upon.
These have to be designed, built and
tested, and kept ready, just like all
other structures that men make. That

has taken 20 years to bring the tele-
phone to its present imperfect state,
and 80 years to develop the still more
imperfect electric light, and one of
the most important of ell the military
uses of electricity (the firing of ex-
plosiyes) has been known and practiced
for a century and half.
If, now, foreign fleet should appear
off a harbor, say New York, what are
the known applications of electricity
which we can use? That is the ques-
ton which propose briefly here to an
swer. We have some powerful guns
which shoot in nearly straight lines,
over long distances, and others which
throw projectiles over longer distances
high into the air, and SO drop them
upon the enemy. But it is of no use
to throw things at a warship unless

and If the latter is exploded the ship
will be struck and destroyed or disabled.
This system of mines, however, has it's
limitations, for the weather must be
clear, and it must be light, for the OBJ.
server to see and follow the vessel with
the telescope. For this reason some
mines are so arranged that they will
explode whenever struck by an object {
as well as when fired electrically from
shore. Such mines, however, are dan
gerous to. friend and foe alike, and can
not be generally employed, if the chan
nels are to be used at all by our own
vessels. 1t is generally understood thar
the army has mines, cables, a al operat-
ing station equipment manufactured

Says 1t would Take Two Years 60 Get
Ready for War.
There is a popular notion that we
possess IN electricity" a mysterious
power somehow able to destroy fleets
and armies, and with this is coupled a
complacent faith that in event OF war
there will appear a new Archimedes,
who will in an instant discover
and give us an electric something which
will quickly annihilate the invader. 1t
Is an excellent thing TO believe in our
selves land the last war gives us good
reason for doing so), but there is q big
difference between relying on what we
have done and upon what we suppose
we can do, especially when there is
more romance than reality in the sup
position. True, the workings of cleo
tricity have now come home 20 us more
than ever before, yet at the same time
never have we been so surieited with
tales of the wonders" of it. Ordinarily
this dwelling on mysteries and marvels
is in a measure harmless enough, even
stimulating, but in the face OF the pres
ent anxieties it operates TO keep people
in fools paradise with respect to a
potent factor in the national safe
guards which is distinctly injurious.
1t is time to put wonders, present and
prospective, out of sight, and to deal
with facts. 1t is necessary to under
stand that we cannot make artificial
thunderbolts, that we cannot shake
ships to pieces by induced vibration
in the cosmic ether, and that we cannot

available at all times for moving troops
and transporting supplies, and in times
of peace for lifeboat service. One of
the best defenses for New York is a
military trolley road on each shore at
Sandy Hook. The track can be de-
pressed and the wire put low at ths
side. Laying and repair are both re-
markedly easy, and some electric loco
motives even now are built as fiat as
turtles.

main thing. Dynamite guns with a
seward range of only five miles at
Sandy Hook, firing charges of 600
pounds of explosive in the electrical
shells, would be oppressively disa-
greeable to an invading fleet.
Eavigable balloons operated by cleo
trio motors are success, and in the
time of emergency would become vast
~ more so. AS far back as 1884, two
French army officers showed what
could be done in this respect, steering
a big balloon around freely, and maxi
ing 51s miles in % minutes. Such
balloons as this could be admirably
operated from the Highlands, and

Describes New and Other Possible Inven-
Stions for Making War More Terrible.
The defenses of New York harbor
must necessarily be placed in the vicin-
ity of Sandy Hook, as there are guns
ahoat which could at that distance bonn
bard Brooklyn or Manhattan island, and
convert their tall buildings into holes
in the ground. 1t is obviously desir-
able, should any foreign war arise plac-
ing this country on the defensive, t.
keep the floating enemy at long range,
and, while holding him there, assume
the offensive in a manner that will
either diminish his fleet or cause it to
retire. Can electricity do anything by
its marvellous flexibility and adaptabili-
ty to insure the safety of the great city,
and keep the harbor inviolate?
