Those two men picked uD box of am

away, and threw 1t ia the river.

How the fire originated is a mystery. In
the store house were piled hundreds Of
boxes Of ammunition, each containing 1000

Their Great Advantage Lies in Their
Small Size and Great Speed.
From Casters Magazine.
The modern torpedo boat destroyer is a
very wonderful weapon and admirably
suited to the purposes for which it was de-
signed; but ii must have its limitations. as
Fcve other warlike Instruments. The de-
stv7yer is not the first weapon thar, IN the
earlis r stages of it's development, was ex-
tecto1 by it's ardent admirers to nevolu-
tionize naval warfare.
The tcvpedo and ram each had lis day,
each made us mark on the designs of the
times. They created no revolution. Lat
they did for,ve notifications in design The
gun regained its ascendency over the ram
and torpedo, and The TORPEDO boat was linz
tied by it's vulnel4blity to operating in the
dark or In thick weather, and by its en-
durance to operating at short distances
from it's base and a. smooth water Now
arises the destroyer; Ii will have also its
effect on the design OF battle ships; II will
md also it's limitations.
The great advantage possessed by the
destroyeTs besides their small size, is the
very high speed OF which they are capa-
BILE; but they can maintain this high speed
for only a short time. They have a niodeT-
ate steaming radius when proceeding a =
moderate rate of speed: but should they
meet an enemy at sea, at a good distance
from land, they would be unable 10 use
their high speed unless they relinquished
all idea of again reaching land.
If they were met by an enemy near the
end Of. to lnem, a long voyage, they would
not have sufficient coa2 for high speed. And
they could nat remain off a port for any
reasonable time and yet have sufficient
coal to utilize the most important feature
