A WIRELESS TORPEDO.
Description Of an English Submarine
Destroyer Steered BY Mar
eonps System. +
London Man.

London Mail.
For some time past experiments have
been carried out with a new torpedo in
vented by young English electrician
Mr.. Cecil Varicas. of Weymouth. The
most salient characteristic of this new
weapon is that its passage and course
through the water can be directed and
controlled either from the shore OF the
coming tower of a battleshipg Assis well
known, the course of the present White
head torpedo is maintained by a wonder
fully complex appliance known as the
gyroscope, fitted within the weapon. The
cost. of the Whitehead torpedo, Is about
$4,000, and although its destructive duali-
ties are so tremendous, yet its chances
of striking the target are very remote.
especially if the object at which II is fired
happens to be moving. If IL should miss
the target the projectile simply continues
on its Journey until its propelling force Is
exhausted, when II drifts about at the
mercy of the waves.
But the difflculty has at last been sur
mounted by the invention of Mr.. Varicas.
T3v means of his device the torpedo while
travelling at express speed through the
water, and several hundreds Of feet away
from the point Of discharge. without any
wire or other connection, may be con-
trolled as expeditiously and as easily as
If an operator were on board to manipu-
late its diminutive rudder. How is this
accomplished? Simply by means of wire
less telegraphy. go -.
Externally the torpedo Is exactly the
same as the Whitehead projectile. The
dimensions are precisely the same, and
the propeller Is of equal calibre, The in
terror, however Is vastly different. The
explosive charge and the driving engines
are placed in the same positions, but the
gyroscope is dispensed with. In ITS place
h substituted delicate electrical appar-
atus. for actuating the. rudder. -. 81 4. !. .
The apparatus upon the shore or battle
ship for the transmission Of the. electrical
waves to the travelling torpedo comprises
a powerful induction OF coil and a small
handwheel, reversible in either direction.
This the officer manipulates in the same
manner as the steering wheel Of a vessel,
the torpedo turning to. the right or LETT
according to. the movements OF the wheel
The celebrity and facility with which the
torpedo answers the movements of the
helm, Notwithstanding its distance from
the TRANSMITTED, are remarkable. Z
1t was dispatched straight out to sea,
continuing in a straight line until IL had
Travelled 200 yards, which point was the
maximum range over which the ether
waves could be transmitted in this par
tiruIar Instance. II then simply cfrcled
round and round until its propelling power
was exhausted. The range over which
the ether waves may be transmitted sim
ply depends upon the intensity of the cleo
trie current, and since Marconi can estab-
fish communication over 30 miles, torpe-
does might be manipulated at the. same
distance. tE
When the projectile enters 1the water
from the tube a float is detached andSthis
serves the same purpose as Marconis high
mast.
