LNe on a rorpedo nont.

So injurious is life on torpedo boat
that years continuous service wiz
mentally and physically incapacltate a
man. This assertion is made on the
authority Of Lord Charles Beresford,
but that the strain on any one serving
on these crafts is very great is shown
by the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week off. Austria is endeavOring to
mitigate the hardship of service on
these boats, and life on one built for
the Austrian navy, and tried on the
Thames recently, was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those of the Eng
lish navy.
