charge is held in the front end of a CT
gar-shaped shell seven feet long and
not quite fifteen inches in diameter.
The rear end of the shell is fitted
with wings rfans to insure the tor
pedo's preserving it's horizontally dur
ing its time Of flight. This torpedo Is
loaded to the gun at the breech, near
which there is a revolving chamber
holding five other torpedoes, quite after
the manner in which the cartridges of
Colts revolver are carried; hydraulic
power Is used to manipulate this car
rier. Once in place and the breech
closed the air valve is opened, the
compressed air rushes into the firing
chambers and away speeds the most
deadly projectile mans ingenuity has
thus far devised.
The one respect in which the dyna-
mite cruiser, speed excepted, is inferior
to the torpedo boat destroyer is in the
important matter of aiming the guns.
These being immoYably fixed in the
vessel cannot be trained and handled
like other guns, they cannot be laid to
hit the target by moving them to the
right or left or up or down; instead the
Vesuvius herself must be Unanswered
so as to get within the range. She thus
becomes the gun carriage her helm and
her screws being the means employed
by her for the accurate laying of her
guns
Herein lies an objection to the dy-
Mantle gun as it is emplaced on board
the Vesuvius, and for long time it
was thought to be insuperable So
convinced were naval men of the i'm
practicability of this methou of point
ing that the navy department made
preparations for removing all the pneu-
matte fittings and dynamite guns and
substituting automobile torpedo appur-
tenances. A lack of funds alone pre-
vented the carrying out of this inten-
ton.
The ship being laid fair for the tar
get, the range of the dynamite projec-
tile is controlled by means of the
amount of compressed air admitted to
the gun. No torpedo of the Whitehead
or Howell type can approach this, a
thousand yards being an extreme range
for them, and for effective work not
over eight hundred should be attempt
ed.
For getting in her fine work the best
distance at which the Vesuvius should
operate is about mile off, and to land

try is apt to be dull and damp If one
is married in April or very early In
June. The one disadvantage of the
secret honeymoon is that the poor
bride does not know what to wear.
The best man ought to give her hint
as to whether the Rangeley lakes OF
the Keys of Florida are to be her des-
tination. Our honeymoon was spent up
in Pike county, heaven on earth in
the mountains. We lived at delight

rambling in the woods and fishing. /

frocks, but only my travelling dress for
day wear, as we were only to remain
away ten days. You can imagine my
plight when l found that fishing was
the order of the day. l sacrificed the
travelling dress. 1t was beauty and
cost more than my white ball dress,
but one is bride only once and had
to enjoy my honeymoon. But if that
tactless best man had only warned me
that l would need short skirt and
high boots what weight of worry
he would have spared mel!

make, shs can send her projectiles
gracefully curving through the air in
to the enemy's camp. In short, the We
suvius has a distinctive part to play in
this war we are now wagng against
Spain. 1t is purely an offensive part,
for she is so pltiably weak defensively,
being entirely without any protection,
that well directed rifle bullet could
wreck her.
The Vesuvius should never enter a
combat unsupported, but always under
cover Of some large vessel able to draw
an enemy's fire and receive the punish
ment that would be otherwise directed
toward her. When thus safeguarded
the Vesuvius serves most valuable
purpose, and the work cut out for her
will greatly conduce to shortening the
bombardment of the fortifcations Of
Cuba.
