TORPEDO BOAT
Tc Run Under. Water With Only One
Man cooperate 1t.


New York World
"A board of naval officers is now in ses-
Sion i'll Washington to examine an In
Vention said to be one Of the most
powerful implements of modern naval
warfare ever invented.
This invention is what may we'll be
termed one man torpedo boat aud il
1t will do tho work claimed for it no
modern war vessel will be immune from
destruction, while the operator of the
boat would be practically safe
The new boat is to be built to be
operated by one man, and its speed in
the water will be, it is estimated, about
1orty-fiye knots. being practically the
fastest craft afioat.
The probability of the discovery of the
operator of the boat is reduced to Il
minimum by various Devices. and Il the
plans of the inventor do not miscarry it
would be an absolute impossibiIity for
a war vessel of an enemy to approach
near enough to a seaboard town to do
damage without being torpedoed by this
little craft The vessel is to be built
to run beneath the water.
1T is said that the submerging priv
ciple is wholly new, and the whole
scheme is widely different from any
thing yet brought tc the notice Of the
public.
The inventor of tbs end-of- the-century
marvel is Thomas !. Moriarty for years

strument makers at the government tor

Cure for Dyspepsia.

Letter in New York Sun.
On todays editorial page you have a
notice reprinted from a German medical
periodical on 'srhe Bed as the Best Cure
Of Dyspepsia" l went this summer
through such q rest cure without having
to lie in bed, and found my health and
weight wonderfully improved I consider
this cure as worth being made known
In the widest circles. 1t prescribes the
very opposite of what has been tried
heretofore against nervous dyspepsia.
People were told that eating little and
plenty of exercise would help them. The
new method makes the patient eat large
orders him to give as much rest to the
body and mind as possible.
