DEADLY DESIGN OF TORPEDO.
Herreshoff Invention Meant to Be
Humanity Naviqated

nunaniy NaVIgated.
The Herreshoffs of yacht building
tame nave invented a torpedo convey
ing and propelling system which, if
successful, does away with the tor
pedo boat, and reduces the submarine
in its possibilities. The business of
the torpedo boat is to convey the tor
pedo within striking distance of the
battleship or cruiser and to discharge
the torpedo. The Herreshoffs propose.
says Everybody's Magazine, to con
struct larger torpedo than the pres
ent standardized Whitehead and to use
1t just as small Iwhaleback boat
would be employed. Two men wearing
life preservers set out with it from
shore, or from large vessels, and navi-
gate it within striking distance of the
enemy's craft, point it, lock the steer
ing gear, slip off into the water and
wait to be picked up. The torpedo
thus launched with far better aim
than from tube and with a longer
carrying range, could scarcely fail to
sink its victim. AS it is now, the per-
centage of torpedoes that arrive" is
but one in twelve. If a man can cross
the North Atlantic in 16-foot dory
as has been done more than once two
men should be able to navigate a pneu-
matically sustained Herreshoff torpedo
in some very rough weather

Water Gan. on the Farm.

The past wet spell has thoroughly
tested al flood gates and water gaps
on streams. We have plenty of stone
to make abutments or piers, AID while
We have five gaps over very rapid
streams we do not lose single plank
When no stone is to be had to make
abutments a good substitute may be
found in a couple of old sugar hogs
heads, or the casks that crockery is
imported in. Set one cask on each
bank, bedding it in the earth a foot
deep; then hoop it securely with wire;
set two posts, as bearing for the top
timbers of the gate inside the casks
and fill to the top with earth or gravel
A five-inch pole long enough to reach
from cask to cask serves as top tim
bers, and Stats long enough to reach
near the top of the water are nailed to
this, making a sort of giant comb.
A foot above the lower end of the
comb" nail strip 1x4 inches, and
a slight freshet will not move the
flood gate at all, while a flood will
carry it upon its surface. The reason
for mailing giant comb. A foot above
the lower end Stats is that a gate so
made is not liable to choke up with
trash or leaves, as if the cross strip
was placed at the very bottom, and
this is quite an advantage, especially
in fall, when trees are casting their
annoying thing.

Worry That Brinqs Death.

A publication devoted to suggestive
therapeutics, telepathy and kindred
interests maintains that thousands of
people actually think themselves to
death every year by allowing their
minds to dwell on morbid subjects. It
would be more accurate to saw that
these persons worry themselves to
death. 1t is not thinking. To think
would be to fortify the mind against
mOrbidity. There seems to be no
doubt that unreasOning and unreason-
able worry has a distinct and PERM
ciouS effect on mind and body. That
it is practicable to overcome this
cause of trouble is affirmed by special
students of psychology, but there is
an attraction to some minds in morbid
melancholy and a disposition to shun
whatever is cheerful and wholesome
