One of the most powerful instru-
ments Of destruction used in modern
naval warfare is the Whitehead tor
pedo. The most heavily armorcd bat
tleship is not proof against it. vigilance
being the only safeguard.
A Whitehead torpedo, the kind used
by the Japs at Port Arthur. is cigar
shaped, made of steel or bronze, and is
from fourteen to eighteen feet long
and from fourteen to eighteen inches
in diameter at the head, its thickest
part. The charge Of 200 pounds Of dy
Mantle is in the head and is exploded
by means Of a rod driven against a
detonator by impact against ship or
other solid object.
Just behind the explosive is Il strong
steel chamber containing air compress
ed to LOO pounds per square inch,
and this escaping under control fur
nishes the motive power for the pro-
pellers which drive the machine
through the water at a speed Of nearly
thirty miles an hour. The most Won
derfully ingenious thing about it is
the gyroscopic controlling device for

Of cork is then developed across the

which excludes air and germs.

St. Peter to close the doors against the

left'in doubt as to who Ira is shooting
at. He probably imagines that some
democrat will have the audacity to as
pire to an office which the ''big four''
has already slated for some coal oil
worthy, or perhaps he doubts that
there are few who do not care to
sign the town over body and soul to
HIS masters. Anticipating a roar
from the scoundrels he wishes to keep
the public ready for what may come,
while if things go off quietly and
Johnny gets all he wants, which is a

done anyhow. We will say, however,
