which the butcher sent, he very
promptly made a most vigorous protest
Whereas he had sent away an APP
parently healthy. fat and well fed cow.
he received in return a beef which
would throw discredht upon a Maverick.
There was hardly meat enough to
cover the bones What little there
was, was fiberous and as full Of mus
Gle as that of the widest steer which
ever come over the drive. A healthy
yearling would give better proper
ton Of meat and Mr.. Risler lost no time
in setting out to investigate.
After patiently listening to the many
reasons given by Mr.. Risler as to why
the meat sent him could not possibly
be that Of the COW which he had sent
to the butcher. that phlegmatic indivi-
dual asked, What did you sent me
anyhow
why the best four-year-old COW IN
my place, to be sure, and all you send
me back Is the skeleton of a cow" was
the energetic reply.
Hold on minute" said the butch
err. and with that he brought out
peck measure filled with a very varied
assortment of hardware such as was
never produced from the stomach Of
any COW before.
Mr. Risler carefully looked over the
collection and after identifying the
paddock and a stray piece of chain
as some Of his own property which had
been missing for months, he handed the
mass Of metal back to the butcher
with the remark, "Well, 1 was
lucky to get even a skeleton If
the COW had to take care Of all that
stuff, but where did she get it? 1 guess
that explains the iron taste in the milk
and small wonder"
It certainly did explain to a certain
IL H. H.
but an explanation as to the manner
in which the COW came to swallow such
a mass of metal Is still agitating local
scientists and medical men Of Lock-
town and vicinity, who cannot under
stand how in the first place any animal
could possible swallow such a hetrO-
gepeous mass and survive, and in the
next place how it was possible to con-
tinue an apparently healthy existence
under such circumstances.
There is so far as is known no record
Of any similar performance ever hav-
ing been accomplished by cow or
any other animal. Small stones and
even pieces Of metal have been found
in the stomach Of animals, but for such
q mixed mass to be found in any ones
stomach Is without precedent
The only theory which has any pos
sibility Is that the cow had a pervert-
ed taste and took the pieces Of metal
into her mouth thinking that they
were good to eat. They passed into
her first stomach with her regular food
in the ordinary and natural way. There
they remained while the food of the
animal was eventually digeSted in the
ordinary way Had the foreign arti-
cles been expelled by the first stomach
Of the COW, the chances are that she
would have strangled, while as it was
they were practically Of no inconven-
fence and only prevented the animal
from becoming fat, form Of bloat TAX
ing it's place which accounts for her
well-fed appearance, while as a matter
Of fact she was so far as meat was con-
cerned, as thin as a razor-backed hog.

your milk, tell the mill1man to change

magazines and furnaces. On each of
these the life, power and movement Of
the vessel depends. One shot, or even
1O0 or even 1000 shots, might pass
through the upper parts Of a battleship
without destroying or even seriously
disabling her, but let one torpedo
pierce the comparatively thin body in
the weak spot underneath the water,
and the chances are a thousand to one
against her remaining afioat long after
that.
The millions Of pounds sterling ez-
pended by the great powers of the
world on the offensive and defensive
merits Of guns versus armor has
brought them no nearer to a solution
as to the superiority III the one case or
the other than they were thirty years
ago, and for many years past the idea
of one ship destroying another by
standing off and exchanging shots
from a distance has been recognized
as an absolute impossibility.
Lord Armstrong, on this point, has

that the so-called catchsrs are inferior
in speed to the boats they are supposed
to catch. and as to the destroyers their
special destructive powers are not very
apparent.
In a fair above board sea fight be-
tween the types mentioned, and first
and second-class battleships. it is a
question with naval experts which

monster floating above it"
1t is upon this very point that the
marine architects and engineers Of the
world have been puZzling their brains
for years. That is, they have taxed
their inventive powers to the utmost
to devise a form of protection against
the scientific advance of submarine
warfare. The only continuance now i'll
use to protect the lower portion Of
a ships Lull from torpedo attack is a
huge netting of Wire slung from booms
on the side Of the ship and is supposed
to penetrate far enough beneath the
surface Of the water to furnish protec-

raratus affords protection to some eX-
tent when the vessel has hove to. but
when she has speed on the net is sure
to drag astern and expose a large sur

pedoes have been invented for the very
purpose of cutting through the netting

With DR.. Jones new device, the tor
pedO could not reach the hull proper
but would explode itself against the
preventive hull, as the guard might be
termed. That, Of course, would be

ANOTHER SHIP GOES WRONG.
Indiana's Turret Fails to Operate In
Heavy Sea.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Another Of
Uncle Sans big war ships has gone
wrong.
This time it is the battleship Indiana
Capt. H. c. Taylor, commanding the
partment today that his ship had put
reported that while off Cape Hatteras,
met a strong gale, which caused the
ship to roll tremendously. The locking
devices intended to fasten the turret
safely failed to operate, and Capt. Tay-
lor signaled to Admiral Bunce, aboard
the flagship New York, that his YES
sci was in trouble, Admiral Bunce
at once replied by signal, directing the
Indiana to return to Hampton Roads
for repairs.
1t will be recalled that while on her
way to New York from Hampton Roads
in October last, an unusually heavy
gale was encountered, in which the tur-
rets OF the Indiana began to revolve
without control. Yet, Notwithstanding
the shifting Of the sixty tons weight,
the vessel was such a good sea boat
that she arrived safely in New York
harbor.
1t was explained today that the Indi-
ana could not proceed with the SQUAD
ron, perhaps because the ships were
ordered to steam ahead in such a man
ner that they were subjected to the
swell OF the sea, and there was conse-
quently more rolling than the turrets
of the vessel could stand The DEPART
ment telegraphed to Rear Admiral

Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. Pa vast amount OF
attention has been attracted recently
in admiralty circles to a new device
for the protection of the big battle
ships below the water line. The new
mode of hull defense is the idea of DR..
Herbert Jones. a naval constructor OF
note. and is designed to act as tor
pedc guard for the vessel below the
surface of the sea. 1t has met with
such universal favor among naval
architects and marine engineers that
the government of Great Britain is Sc
riously considering its adoption
The plan of DR.. Jones is simply to
place q huge steel shield along the hull
of the battleship on both sides. 1t will
consist Of a number of large plates in
juXtap position, extending from stem to
stern, and from the keel to point just
above the water line. The plates must
fit exactly to the model of the hull. SO
as not to retard the speed of ne vessel
when there is no occasion to use them.
Even those who are unfamiliar with
naval construction must know that the
most vulnerable part of a ship is that
of her hull below the water line. There
are located the very Vitals Of the ma
rine mCnSter-the boilers, engines,

LOCKTOWN, N J.. Feb. 4.-Nfnety-
two pieces of hardware were discov
to John Risler a well-known farmer,
living near here, when 1t was killed
the latter part of last month.
SO extraordinary is the case gener-
ally regarded and so many requests
for veriflcation have poured in on Mr..
Kisler. that he has made affidavit
enumerating the articles. which reads
in part as follows:
This is an exact statement of what
was taken from my cows stomach
One two-penny wire NAIL one four
penny nail, two six-penny nails, eleven
eight-penny and four three-penny cut
nails, five four-penny nails, one five
penny wrought nail, thirty-nine pieces
OF nails, two one-inch screws, three
pieces Of wire, three stones, one hog
ring, one half threshing machine spike
a paddock and a piece of chain. In all
Einety-two (92) different objects were
taken from the stomach.
Some Of them showed that they had
been there for many months, If not
years, while others had apparently
Teen swallowed quite recently"
A COW which thrived and grew fat
upon diet of shingle nails, padlocks
and small pieces Of steel link chain
is certainly an animal whose CASTRO
nomic achievements are worthy Of
chronicling.
Tender green grass, rich meadow
hay or even a delectable bran-mash
had no attractions for this Jersey,
when any odd pieces Of hardware were
obtainable. Her preference seemed to
be for such unusual things as railroad
spikes, screws, Hutheads and pieces
Of wire.
In only one respect did this cow
differ from any other Of her specie.
She gave an excellent quality Of milk
end more than the ordinary quantity.
and how she came to develop a diges-
ton, which, for its ability to assimi-
late almost anything, has never been
eQualled, Is marvel as yet uneX-
planned by scientific men.
Ostriches and goats have heretofore
been the only creatures reputed to
be able to exist upon a long continued
diet Of miscellaneous hardware but
for varied assortment Of unusual
articles, which can be taken into the
stomach, and the animal apparently
experiencing no inconvenience. this
New Jersey COW has established a. rec
ord
How she came 5toSacquire her peculiar
taste, and where she managed to pick
up such odd pieces Of metal, no one
has as yet been able to explain. She
might still be making living hard
ware store Of herself, had not her
owner decided to convert the living
animal into beef for winter and spring
consumption by his family.
When, a few days ago, Mr.. Risler
decided that one Of his cattle must be
sacrificed. in order to supply the fam
lily with meat, he looked around among
his numerous animals, and, without
Hesitation, selected this particular COW
as the victim for the butcher.
1t was one Of the best he owned and
such milk as she gave could not be
equalled in the entire state. There was
a peculiar taste to the milk. Not I'M
pleasant, but a sort Of iron taste which

sons naval officers do not consider
nets can be used at sea.
THUS it Is evident that if external
protection is to be relied upon, it must
be in different form and DR.. Jones
has devised a torpedo guard which Is
of the distractions inherent to the net
defense. His plan is to have steel
shields made to the form of the ship
and ordinarily resting against the huh.
They are however capable of being pro-
jected outWardS when required to a
distance of twenty feet from the hull,
and this cushion of water together with
the resistance offered by the steel plat
ing should secure a ship from mater
ial injury in the event Of torpedo
exploding against the guard. 1t is OBJ
vious that the plate could not be cut
through like a net, nor would it be
forced cut of position by a current, or
the ships moving through water.
can advantage of this system is
that all the appliances for working this
protection are above the water line,
and always in position, thus enabling
the protection to be put in position at
the shortest notice, while it overcomes
the difficulty attached to supporting
steel bO0mS or rams if projected to a
distance Of twenty Or thirty feet
This plan now proposed by DR.. Jones
is in my opinion, the best which has
yet been put forward for guarding
against the terrible effects Of locomo-
tive torpedo attack, and looking to
the grave issues involved, L consider
that expenditure would be wisely in
CURED in giving it a trial"
Many others have signified their ap-
prevail CT DR.. Jones' torpedo defense for
protecting costly WaTshipS and the lives
of gallant seamen from the appalling
dangers Of torpedo attack, among whom
are the highest expert authorities Of
the United Kingdom. In the front rank
Of these is Sir E. J. Reed, K. G. B., we'll
known as having designed and con-
structed warships for all the naval
powers of the world.
The accompanying illustration shows
one Of DR.. Jones modes Of protection
against torpedo attack. 1t gives a
fOreshortened view taken off the port
bow, and represents the vessel with the
improved torpedo guard expanded to
its protective position, while the dread
ed missile eXplodes against it.

was rather agreeable than otherwise
and dairy experts who have analysed
the fluid said that there was a trace of
iron in the milk, but they could not
account for its presence there. The
wiseaeres of the neighborhood decided
that it must be because there was more

resistance of the shield. huge cushion
OF water, which has been formed. aids
in the protection of the ship.
Capt. S. Eardley Wilmot, r. N, late
chief torpedo expert Of the admiralty,
in his report, has the following to say
on the subject:
1.-THE development Of the White
head torpedo, with which now nearly
all nations are supplied, renders the
question of protecting ships against
this attack one of the gravest consid-
Grafton.
THE torpedo of today travels at the
rate Of 30 knots an hour and carries
200 pounds of explosive compound di-
rected aginst the most vulnerable part
of ship. that of her hull under water.
I'VE have been enabled by the addi
ton of large masses of armOr to fair

but cannot extend this to the submerged
portion Of her hull as a defense against
torpedo attacks We have therefore
been obliged to restrict our endeavors
as far as structural arrangements are
concerned to give ships OF war q

internally into a number of Water-ught
compartments, luuS StehiuS "
ish the effects of an explosion and re-
strict the inflow of water at that point.
LAS, however, these arrangements
could only give very partial protection
at a time when torpedoes carried
comparative small charge. it was con-
sidered desirable to stop them before
they could reach the ship, and for this
purpose the present system of net de.
Tense was devised.
This consists Of wire netting sus-
pended vertically from steel or wooden
booms attached to the hull Of the ship.
from which they project from % to
80 feet. The nets hang down to
depth of 20 feet and are connected to-
gether in sections so as to then form
a continuous crinoline Of netting.
But should the ship move through the
water the nets are more or less i'm
