civilization and despite all their knowI-
edge of western naval science the COM
mander and his men were still primi-
tive warriors. Did defeat or dishonor
come they were not to go home. Hara-

With their customary cleverness In
mastering the methods of warfare In
use in other parts of the world the
japanese have become expert in the
use of that terrible engine of destruc-
ton, the torpedo. The firing of tor
pedo Is very interesting process. The
Whitehead torpedo, which is used by
the japanese, is cigar shaped, Of steel
or bronze and from fourteen to eight
cen feet long. In the head is a charge
OF 200 pounds of dynamite or gun cot
ton, which is exploded by rod that is
driven against a detonator when the
torpedo comes in contact with a shin.
Behind the explosive is steel chamber
containing air compressed to 1900
pounds to the square inch. The escape
of the air provides motive power for
the propellers of the torpedo which
drive it through the water at a speed
OF about thirty miles an hour. The tor
pedo Is usually fired from battle
ship or cruiser through a submerged
tube and is elected by compressed air
or powder. Torpedo. boats and de-
stroyers expel torpedoes from tubes on
their decks. Thus far the Japanese
have made more successful use Of the
torpedo than any other nation.
