LAYING A SUBMARINE MINE.

The submarine mine is the terror of
modern naval warfare, and the principal
harbors of the world are understood to be
protected by them. New styles of torpe-
does add still further to the horrors of
war The most startling thing in the tor
pedo line is provided with magnetic
needle so applied to the steering apparatus
| that within the range of 800 feet the ere
mys ship acts as a magnet and attracts to
| itself this missile of destruction. Of great
| Importance is the fact that should the tor
pedo miss the 800 feet circle Of attraction
provision is mado for it's recall to the YES
| sci firing it. This is accomplished by q
pair of wires which run out after it as it
proceeds on it's errand. This is a point
long desired by the navy department., for
stray shot hitherto with torpedo has
| meant direct loss to the government of
hundreds of dollars. More than that, a
wasted shot is apt to seriously impair the
effectiveness Of the ship firing the torpedo,
| since in such a case much valuable time is
lost. The United States government has
just purchased q supply of the magnetic
torpedoes of the larger type They are 16
feet long and IA inches in. diameter 1t is
intended by the department. that these
new destroyers shall carry 1926 pounds of
gun cotton in their caps, whereas those
now in use carry but 0S pounds The
Whitehead torpedo of today has a maxi
mum range of about 500 yards at the speed
OF ~ knots. When once discharged from
the tube, however, all control or hope to
recover it il fired in actual warfare is gone
With the new magnetic torpedo it is diff
ferent. The range is the samo, but far
more effective, for, fitted as it is with it's
sensitive needle, it feels the presence of
steel ship or vessel electrically charged,
wherein the ordinary Whitehead torpedo
might fail of its mission if but a couple Of
feet broad of the mark Direction of a
high speed torpedo of this class would
hardly be practicable, hence the speed is
cut down to ~ knots an hour. This will
probably reduce the cost of the torpedo,
because it will do away with much of the
liner work which is required to accom-
plish excessive speed The Whitehead tor
pedoes, like all other purely automobile
Gorpedoes, are cratic in their course 1t
is to partially overcome this that they are
now being lifted at considerable in
creased cost with the gyrosoopic or Obry
gear. 1t is already well recognized fact
among the navies of the world that whore
In it is sometimes feasible to run risks at
the hands of an enemy provided with the
ordinary Whiteheads it is not sound judg-
ment to leave open the same opportunities
to the enemy known to be provided with
the Obry geaT torpedoes
Another device of modern warfare is an
aerial torpedo which has been submitted
to both the British and German govern
ments by Hudson Maxim, brother of Hi
ram Maxim who invented the aeroplane
and the rapid fire gun. The apparatus
consists of a balloon in the form of cigar
propelled by one man seated on bicycle
like cage baneath. By powerful propellers
he can drive the machine in any direction

| even in the face of a current blowing at
| the rate of eight miles an hour. Three
| torpedoes are suspended beneath the Car,
| which are detached by the operator at will.
! They explode on striking the ground or
other hard substance They may also be
| lowered by insulated wire lines into the
sea and dragged along until the desired
point is reached, when they are exploded
! by means of electricity.
A new machine which goes under the
name of torpedo is really an electric launch
| which carries within itself enough power
to carry it over stretch Of Is miles. In
addition to this it carries a torpedo which
may be charged with $50 pounds Of gun
cotton and has the power to detach itself
from its carrier. The body of the craft Is
26 feet long and "a inches in diameter. In
addition, spar projects ahead eight feet
farther. The statement that the torpedo is
dirigible from shore Of course carries with
it the idea of means of communication
between the operator and his instrument.
This is wire composed Of two cables,
each of which has seven strands. Any
one of the seven will carry current enough
to permit manipulation of the craft by
some one at the other end of the wire.
One cable runs to the motor and the other
to the rudder. Connection is made through
a switchboard and the boat can be run
ahead at various degrees Of speed, stopped
or run astern. The rudder is double, one
being on the upper side of the rail piece
and the other half beneath, the idea being
to prevent rolling. The torpedo will be
propelled by an operator on shore, In q
boat astern or astride of the craft itself.
In the latter case the prevailing style Of
Jackets worn will be of cork, with canvas
trimmings. He will have to get off and
''walk" half mile from the object of at
tack, while the torpedo carrier goes ahead,
discharges its fatal burden and then re-
turns to pick up it's rider. When the har-
pooh tipped point strikes the torpedo nets
it penetrates one of the meshes and the
force of the blow releases this tip and opens
two 1anges, which prevent the tip from
being drawn out of the net. Accordingly
it hangs there. From it chain runs back
to compartment which contains tho tor
pedo.
The same impact against a collar re-
leases this car, which slides forward and
at the same time a spring tears off the
leaden covering on the end Of the water
tight tube which runs through the can and
is surrounded by the explosive material
which makes up the torpedo. AS the cover
of the tube is torn off water rushes in and
comes in contact with metallic potassium,
which burns under such contact This
flame sets off big rocket which shoots
forward and carries the car containing the
explosive with it, The tube from which
the torpedo shoots has a downward incli-
nation, SO the torpedo shoots downward to
the bottom of the net, passes under it and
then when it comes to the end Of it's chain
moves upward till it strikes the vessel.
Even when only partially submerged the
difficulty of seeing the craft at a short dis |
lance is great.

GENTLE DIR. GATLING.
MILD OLD GENTLEMAN WHO MAKES
MURDEROUS MACHINES.

at Eighty the Inventor Perfects q New
Rapid Fire Gun Which Is Both Big and
Terrible-The First Gatling Gun and Its
History.
DR.. Calling, whose very name has a
warlike sound, Is at work on a new
gun. 1t will be big and terrible and
quite deadly at long distances as we'll as
short. Having about reached the limit
In the matter of speed, his new gun
will show that death in large doses can
be dealt out almost as rapidly as IN
small ones.
Dr.. Richard Jordan Gatling now lives
and works in Cleveland. Although he
has reached 80, he is still industriously
turning out the murderous machines
which have made his name famous in
all parts of the world. Yet he is neither
a fire eater nsr man Halter. On the
contrary he is mild hammered, soft
spoken old gentleman whose kind dis
position shows clearly in his bright blue
eyes. He actually claims that his death
dealing machine gun is a humanitarian
instrument and often compels peace
where in it's absence there would be a
bloody contest.
DR.. GatIing was born in North Caro-
lima. He showed mechanical genius as
a boy, but at first he studied medicine;
hence his title. Then he dropped physic
aud developed his talent. His first effort
of Importance was to make screw to
propel water craft. When he applied for
a patent, he found that John Ericsson
had been before him. He then invented
rice planter, which was something of a
success. In 1914 he got a patent for a
modification of his rice planter designed
for drilling in wheat. This was the first
wheat drill, and for many years there
after DR.. Gatling was principally occu-
pied in making these drills and selling
them to farmers. He was successful and
made money.
He was moved to experiment on ma
chine gun by the pathetic scenes of war
times. He saw many men leave for the
front and many come back in boxes. He
decided that there was great waste Of
life in the game of war as then played.
After much study he designed ma
chine gun which in principle is tn
same as that used today, though in its
details it has been very materially i'm

proved since 1851. He went to Cincin-
natl to build his first guns and at the
shops of Miles Greenwood.
Though there was much secrecy about
the work it became known that a
dreadful weapon which would end the
war in short order was nearly finished
at these shops. Some jealous friend of
the Confederacy set fire to the establish
ment Of Mr.. Greenwood, and the gat-
ling guns were so injured as to be
worthless.
After the fire DR.. Calling at another
shop built Is new guns at an expense of
$4,000. When these were finished, he
sent them to Washington in care of a
Chicago gentleman who was supposed
to have great influence with the author
tiles. The chief of ordnance, Genera
Ripley, was an old fashioned man who
sincerely believed that the very best
war weapon was the muzzle loading,
smoothbore, fintlock musket. 1t is
not to be wondered that from such an
official DIR. Gatling's representative re-
oeiyed small encouragement.
When the war was over and General
Ripley had a successor in the ordnance
office, DR.. Calling, who in the mean
time had substituted metallic for paper
cartridges, again brought his invention
to the notice of the authorities in Wash
ington. An ordnance board was ap-
pointed to test the gun at Fortress Mon
roe in competition with howitzers.
10 nT Got e
this, test:
when l got down to the place of
trial, found that some of the officers
had put up job on me. They didn' It
want my gun to do better work than
the howitzers, which were a regular
arm Of the service. I found that to work
my gun they had assigned lot of plan
tatlon darkies, raw recruits just in from
the farm, who didn't know any more
about gun than a horse does about his
uncle. For the working Of the howitzers
they had set apart number of picked
men. l protested. I said I wanted a
measurably fair deal.
Give me an hour I said, to drill
these darkies.
That wasn't much time, but it was
better than nothing. They gave me the
hour, and I Immediately established
school OF gunnery and began the work
OF educating my crew. Just before the
opening OF the trial I gave each darby
dollar, and I said to him: Now, do
your best. This dollar is just to begin
on
"Itell you, those fellows worked like
heroes. beat the howitzers four to
one, and the report went on to Wash,
ington to that effect. Soon after got
an order for 100 guns, and that was the
first good order had ever received" (
