tant contribution to the physics of the
Pacific ocean.
Two offsets from the projected great
circle route between the Midway ISL
andS and Guam were found to be nee
essary in order to avoid obstacles to
a successful laying and operation Of a
telegraph cable. The first of these OBJ
stacles encountered is a submarine
mountain situated short distance
westward Of the Midway Islands, and
rising from the floor of the ocean,
which here sinks to a depth of 2,200
fathoms, to within SO fathoms of the
surface. The second obstacle is one of
the deepest submarine abysses yet
found in the world, situated about 500
miles eastward Of Guam and sinking
to depth Of more than 1900 fathoms
Reports have been received Of the pre-
| limirary line of soundings from Ho-
nolulu to Luzon, and they indicate that
the route which is being surveyed will
prove entirely practicable. No reports
of the sOundings taken on the return
trip or of any soundings from Guam

expenses Of this survey, so far as this
bureau is concerned, have been entire
ly betrayed from its current appropria-
tiOns.

This seems 10 have solved tho great
puzzle that has made torpedoes as
much of menace 10 those who fired
them as to those against whom they
were directed. The history OF torpedo
warfare has always tended 10 place the
supposedly terrible missile in n ride
ulous light. Here and there are record
ed instances of the torpedo taking Of
feet and sinking a vessel, but for every
torpedo that has fulfilled it's mission,
hundreds have exploded harm,essly
and killed only the fishes that were
unlucky enough To be in the vicinity
of the explosion. This helplessnoss of
the torpedo after IL has once left the
side of the vessel firing IL has been tho
main cause OF the lack OF respect ma
val officers have felt for IL. The search
light has made IL so risky 10 attack "a
vessel with a torpedo at night that on
ly a very reckless commander would
attempt II, while the various devices
for guarding n ships side against tor
pedoes have made these missiles al-
most certain to fail In their object.
Then again IL was so easy To dodge "A
torpedo when it's direction once be-
came apparent, and the certainty OF
the aim was always a doubtful thing
where the range was necessarily long.
and many obstacles likely TO be en-
countered by the torpedo during It's
submarine flight TO defect IL from It's
course.
Now all this is changed. When the
torpedo which is used by most OF the
navies here, the Whitehead, In fired
from a vessels side IL drops into the
water at a distance OF fifteen feet,
dives about twenty feet, and then
shoots up and goes through the water
like a fish for a distance of about half
a mile, which distance IL covers I'm
about minute. Ii Is a costly missile.
and the British naval officers have al
ways thought il OF doubtful effective
ness in warfare. With the White
head" guided by electric waves. how
ever, it is realized that tho torpedo
takes on a new and formidable aspect
that places IL in an entirely new cate

Fusion Isn't Scary.

OF coure there is to be fusion in
Dickinson county, collection under
one flag Of all the "anti's." But
fusion don't scare anybody nowadays.
1t is laughable, that's all. 1t is SO
supremely ridiculous that any such
nonsense should fool anybody into
thinking 1t move toward reform!
Nobody does believe it, nobody thinks
for a minute that the manipulators Of
the project have a higher object than
spoils.
The time has long since passed in
Dickinson county when the fusion OF
the allied forces need cause anybody
uneasiness. The people Of this coun'
ty never took kindly to fusion. They
seemed from the beginning to have
much the same opinion Of 1t as J. R.
Burton held when he said:
"Of all the corrupting influences
that has ever appeared in American
politics, nothing is SO vicious as that
OF fusion. Nothing so tends to break
down principle, and to encourage o
struggle simply for place and power
as does fusion. The outright pur.
chase Of votes is not as corrupting Of
is fusion. Think OF the pitiabla pic.
ture Of the Populist party in 1896 in
its National convention pretending to
believe in the principles Of the Demo
cratic party and nominating its
standard bearer, and then in order to
show that they didn't believe in the
principles Of the Democratic party
and that they had a party Of theil
own, nominated their own candidate
for vice-president. The open
and outright purchase Of votes upon
the streets in broad daylight in the
presence Of witnesses is less corrupt
than for the representatives Of differ
ent parties to meet and agree in the
disposition Of the spoils of antici-
pated victory. 1t is making the young
er voters Of this country familiar witt
the most vicious methods that posi-
bly, could obtain in politics."
That is about the way the voters in
Dickinson county look upon fusion
and that is the reason that it is moi
scary.
