Axel orilns. an English inventor.
recently gave a private demonstration
IN London of his marvellous device for
steering torpedoes from a distance.
The principle Of the invention consists
in the transmission OF motor force by
waves OF light similar to X rays. In
one room orling fixed up a model tor
pedo fitted with rudder like n hsh's
tail. while the controlling apparatus
was in an adjoining chamber. Though
there were a couple Of partition walls
between the two objects, the specta-
tors were astounded to see the rudder
OF the torpedo turning TO the right or
