THE FIRST TORPEDO.

Exploded Too Soon to Destroy q Fed
eral Gunboat.
Mr.. n. o. Crowley. formerly electri-
clan Of the Torpedo Division, 9. s. N,
contributes to the Century an account
Of THE Confederate Torpedo Service" "
After describing the organization of
the first torpedo service. Mr.. Crowley
says:
Having our system now perfected,
We established a torpedo station, some
five or six miles below Richmond. by
submerging two iron tanks. contain
Ing one thousand pounds Of powder
each, In twelve feet Of water, leading
the wires ashore. and connecting them
with galvanic battery concealed in a
small hut In a deep ravine. From the
battery house the wires were led to
An elevated position near by, where
the man In charge could keep a look
out for passing vessels. The position
Of the torpedoes In the water was indi-
Gated by two sticks, planted about ten
feet apart on the bluff, and in n line
with each other and the tOrpedoes: and
the watchman's Instructions were to
explode them by contracting the wires
as soon as an enemy's vessel should be
on a line with the two pointers All
this being prepared. we awaited the
approach Of Federal gunboat. As
was usually the case, one came when
least expected, on a beautiful clear
day, when our entire force except the
man stationed as lookout was absent
In, tphy o,.fy 9th
terial.
We were apprised by telegraph of
the rapid approach of the eunboat. and
Immediately FASTENED toward our first
station; but we arrived too late. The
man in charge had not seen the United
States flag for long period, and never
having previously seen n gunboat so
near. lost his presence Of mind and
fired one Of the 1.OOO-pound powder
tanks when the gunhoat was at least
twenty to thirty yards distant. A great
explosion took place. throwing up a
large column of water to a consider
able height: and the gunboat by her
momentum plunged into the great
trough. and caught the downward rush
of a wave on her forward deck The
guards were broken away. half a dozen
men were thrown overheard. and other
damage to the gunboat was caused.
The steamer then turned about as
quickly as she could. and prepared to
retrace her route down the river. after
picking up the men who had been
washed overheard. There was n bril-
liant opportunity to accomplish her to-
tai destruction by firing the remaining
torpedo as she passed back over It.
But alas. the man had been so astound-
ed at the first explosion that he had
fed precipitately, without waiting to
see what damage had been done. and
the gunboat was thus enabled to re
turn down the river in safety.

bad boy from school. The boy, know
ing his teachers confidence, began to

eminent. He was thrice elected Gov
ernor Of New York and once to the
United States Senate. He was also
under one President Secretary Of War
and under another SECRETARY of State.

Three Oucer Cities.

The city Of Client, In Belgium, Is
built on twentysix islands. These isl
ands are connected with each other
by eighty bridges. The city has three
hundred streets. and thirty public
squares. 1t is noted for being the
birthplace of Charles V. and of John
of Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called
"time- -honored Lancaster" and as the
scene of the pacitication of Ghent, Nov.
8, 1876, and of several Instructions,
sieges, and executions of well-known
personages. 1t is associated with
American history by the treaty made
there Dec. n, 1914. terminating the
second war between England and the
United States, known as the war of
1872
Amsterdam, in Holland, Is built on
piles driven far below the water into
the earth. The city is intersectcd by
many canals, which are spanned by
nearly three hundred bridges. and re-
sembles Venice In the mingling of land
and water. though 1t Is considerably
larger than that city. The canals d.
vide the city. which is about ten miles
In circumference, into ninety islands.
The city of Venice IS built on eighty
islets, which are connected by nearly
four hundred bridges. Canals serve
for streets in Venice and boats, called
gondolas. for carriages. The bridges
are, as a rule, very steep, rising con-
siderably In the middle, but have easy
steps, The circumference of the city
is about eight miles. The Venetlans
joined the Lombard league against the
German Emperor, and. in 1177, gained
a great victory, In defense Of Pope
Alexander I'LL. over the fleet Of war
vessels headed by Otto, son Of Frederic
Barbarossa In gratitude for this VIC
tory the Pope gave the DOge Ziani
ring, and Instituted the world famous
ceremony Of "Venice Marrying the
Adriatic Sea" In this ceremony the
Doge. as the chief ruler Of Venice used
to be termed, with appropriate cere-
monies. dropped ring into the sea
every year, in recognition Of the wealth
and trade carried to Venice by the
Adriatic.
