Steered by Means Of
Electric Waves.

Contemporaneous with the sitting of
the international peace conference
comes the announcement of q new in
vention by which torpedoes are to be
rendered more deadly in modern war
fare then heretofore.
The invention, due to Walter jamie
son and John Trotter, consists in util-
izing the ETHEREAL or "Hertzian"
waves, which are the basis of wireless
telegraphy, as means of steering and
controlling torpedoes on their deadly
missions.
The apparatus is made in several
forms, which differ principally in the
means by which the current induced
by the waves is applied to the steering
mechanism. The best arrangement con-
sists of coil of iron wire, or "solenoid,' -
that becomes magnetic on receiving the
ethereal waves, and is thus rendered
capable of sucking into itself a magnet,
the motion of which brings about any
required change in the steering gear
of the torpedo.
The latter is fitted with two rods,
which project above the water and
serve as treceivers"-that is, means of
collecting the waves. Each of the rods
is in connection with coil of the type
described, one on the right. of the tor
pedo and one on the left, and, Accord
ing as the right-hand or the lcft-hand
rod absorbs the waves, so the torpedo
is guided to the right or left. e e
The means adopted in using the ap-
paratus is as follows: Suppose that the
torpedo is fired in the usual manner
and that its course is seen to swerve
from its upper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately
dispatched by the processes used in
wireless telegraphy in such a manner
that they only affect either the right
hand or left-hand coil controlling the
helm, which is thus turned in any re-
quired direction, and the original
course of the torpedo reproduced.
When this is accomplished the cleo
trio waves are stopped and the helm
flies back to the midship position. ~
Large models of the apparatus have
been experimental with, and it is said
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since
the new method of guiding torpedoes is
greatly superior to the old, which made
use of electric wires. it is evident that
the new invention will be an important
factor in future naval warfare.-Lon-
don Mail.

FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Mach Mental suaering IL Needlessly
Undergone by Nervous
Pefsons.

The keen suffering which many un.
dergo just in advance of or during q
thunder storm is of dual nature. The
sense of impending danger alarms and
terrifies but there is also depression
of spirits which is physical and real,
brought about by some as yet unknown
relation between the nervous system
and conditions of air pressure. humid-
ity and purity. The suffering due to de-
preston and partial exhaustion re-
quires, from those who are strong,
sympathy rather than ridicule. The
suffering due to alarm and fright, how
ever, is unnecessary. 1t is largely the
work Of the imagination. To nerv-
GUS nature there is something appall-
ing in the wicked, spiteful CLEAN of the
lightning, and the crash and tumult OF
thunder. But such q one should re-
member that the flash is almost always
far distant, and that thunder can do no
more damage than the low notes OF q
church organ. Counting all the deaths
from all the storms during year, we
find that the chance of being killed by
lightning is less than one in hundred
thousand. The risk in the city may be
said to be five times less than in the
country. Dwellers in city houses may
be startled by peals of thunder, but
owing to the great spread of tin roofing
and fair ground connections, there is
very little danger. In the country, if
buildings are adequately protected. and
the momentum of the flash provided
for, the occupants may feel secure. A
good conductor we'll grounded is nec-
essary in all isolated and exposed build
ings. Barns, especially when lined
with green crops, should have good
lightning conductors. The question is
often asked: "Do trees protect?" The
answer is that the degree of protection
will vary with the character of the tree
and it's distance from a watercourse.
An oak is more liable to lightning
stroke than a beach. The character Of
the wood, the area of LEAKAGE, the ex-
tent and depth of root, will determine
the liability to stroke. Another ques-
ton which is often asked is whether
InCIC 10 uduScI dUOuAu d AdISV SC0uAA'
ship during thunder storm. On the
contrary, there are few safer places.
Sufficient metal with proper superficial
area is interposed in the path of the
lightning, and it's electrical energy con-
verified into harmless heat and rapidly
dissipated. Accidents occur chiefly be-
cause the victims ignorantly place
themselves in the line of greatest
strain, and thus form part of the path of
discharge. For this reason, it is not
wise to stand under trees, near flag
poles, or masts, in doorways, on
porches, close to fireplaces, or near
barns. Those who are not exposed in
any of these ways may feel reasonably
safe. 1t should be remembered, in the
event of accident, that lightning does
not always kill. 1t more often results
in suspended animation than in somatic
death. Therefore, in case of accident,
try to restore animation, keep the body
warm, and send for a physician without
delay.-Alexander McCabe, in Century.

The great poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes
once said; "If all drugs were thrown into
the sea, it would be all the better for man.
kind and all the worse for the fishes" or
course the genial poet referred only to
poisonous drugs as used by most physicians.
He certainly could not have meant all
medicines, for Nature, in her woods and
fields, has been most prolific in yielding up
her treasures OF harmless, vegetable reme-
dies for every disease. The wonderful dis
coveries OF the famous DR.. Greene of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, amply prove
the fact. Indeed, this skilled specialist in
the treatment OF nervous, chronic and lin
gering complaints, uses in his enormous
practice, absolutely no poisonous drugs,
but confines his treatment solely to the use
OF harmless vegetable remedies. His
extraordinary success in curing diseases
OF whatever name or nature, the innumer-
able restorations to health under the use OF
these marvellous curative medicines as pre-
scribed by DR.. Greene, establish beyond
doubt that Nature has provided remedies
for each and every phase OF disease, and
that DR.. Greene, by his deep Investigations
and his enormously large experience, has
discovered and prepared remedies which
surely and certainly cure these complicated
cases of chronic disease. Any sufferer can
demonstrate this fact, as DR.. Greene gives
all the privilege OF consulting him person.

in commemoration of which "Uncle John"
sat for three group pictures.
One picture was taken of himself with his
brother, Alvin, aged eighty-fOur years, and
his sister, Mrs Elvirs Doten, aged eighty
two years. In another he appears sur
rounded by his grand and great grand
children and in the third he appears with
Mrs. CrOssett, Mrs. 9. G. Cory and her
infant daughter, representing three genera
tions.
During the afternoon Gen. Stephen
Thomas, who is on the eve of his niuetieth
birthday, visited "Uncle John" and upon
taking his leave remarked, "If there is
any man who can trot out ten finer grand
children than you have, 1 would like to see
them"
Naturally the larger number OF visitors
called in the evening and the seating capac-
ity Of the house was taxed to its limit.
Later it was crowded to overfowing by the
arrivalof a large delegation of the Junior Or
der OF American Mechanics to pay it's re-
spects to "Uncle john" who is fellow
member of the society.
The whole affair was informal and very
pleasant. Light refreshments were served
and the time passed swiftly in social inter-
course. When the guests had departed it
was found that "Uncle John" had been re.
membered by his friends in the form of USE
full gifts.
Those who know Mr.. Smith best believe
that his youthfulness is due to his great
love for children. 1t is said that he is
known all along the way from here to the
Canada line by the appellation Of "Uncle
John"
