Imagine steel fish sixteen feet leng and eish cen inches in diameter with wheels in it's tail, going at the speed of a mile minute through the sea, hurling it's load of 2uncotton against a ship, and you have the new turbine torpedo just accepted by the government
 Accord ,ng to all accounts it is the most terrible weapon of naval war fare yet invented. It is called the iss-Leavitt torpedo. and is describ- ed as a lean len@, pefectlv harmless looking cylinder with round ends and four bladed propellers in it's stern. Here also is located it's wonderful ma chinery and a mechanical bra P, a lit tie eyroseope that one could hold ill lis hand as delicateiy adjusted as 9 chronGneter. It is the soul and heart of tle death-dealing monster. When properly adjusted and set it absolute iy controls the ponderous shell of  steel Compressed air is used to eX- pei it f om the tube on shipbeard When expelled into the water it sinks 10 the required depth, five or $ x feet. tl.en shoots forward straight as an ar row to tie point of attack. and there it fires itself into the heart of the ;,I,t ;e, Jo+ fN the bottom.
 And the new weapon," said the Scientific American, conforms in it's external appearance and in the lead ing features of it's internal subdivis ion and method of control to the Whitehead, but in size power, speed range and accuracy it far surpasses it. The Whitehead of the standard type used in the United States navy has speed of twenty-e' ght knots at . range of about 200 yards and about twenty-two knots at 2,000 yards. The new torpedo has a range, guaranteed by contract. of $500 yards, and it's speed is twenty eight knots at this range and thirty-six knots at 1,200 yards range.
 So well satisfied is the government with this omnipotent destroyer that contracts amounting to several mil- lions of dollars have been awarded for the construction of these subma. rine engines and this type of torped1 is to supersede all others in the na' ". Two sizes are being manufactur- ed, one eighteen inches in diameter, which can be fired from the existing eighteen-inch tubes of our warships and torepdo boats. The other is much larger and more powerful tor pedo, beng twenty-one inches in diameter.
 The eighteen-inch tcrpedo of the new type has an effective range of 1000 yards and speed of thirty three knots. One hundred torpedoes of this type have been contracted for. while of the larger twenty-one-inch type 300 are called for by the con- tract. Thirty of the eighteen-inch and two of the twenty-one-inch have been delivered at the Newport tor pedo station, where tests have been made undr imaginary probable war conditions.
 Here are some of the details of the torpedos construction: The twenty cne-inch type is in three sections. First the head, containing the explos-

juvenile Washington was out in full
force yesterday afternoon and last night
at Chase's to welcome Buster Brown q"
The welcome was a rousing one. but not
more than the little man deserved. Mas
ter Gabriel is a unique and distinctive
theatrical fixture, and an artist in his own
particular fashion. With his clever com
pany in q sketch called "Auntie's Visit, -
he gave an entertaining and amusing per-
formance for grown ups" as well as chill

animal representations James k. Murry

and was well carried by VIII Lester and
Charles Acker. VIII Testers makeup as

feet. Mr.. Lester is also the author of the
sketch. Sadie Janseu did some limitations
Of well-knOwn actors of which that of
David WaTfieid in the Music Master"
was by far the best. Her accent and ex-
preston are good.
Herr Grais' 'BaboOn Prodigies" proved
almost as popular with the youthful con-
tingent as Buster Brown. The lOop-tne-
loop act by the baby baboon was some
thing new Maybelle Meeker and Franco
Piper completed the bill Miss Meeker is
pretty and graceful. but she should stop
trying to sing. Mr.. Piper is one of the

ELMENDORF LECTURES AGAIN.
Delights Large Audience with Illus
tFated Talk on THE Rhine

tfatfu ON ne hnEEe.p
Down the Rhine" past the castles OF
old and the factories Of the new era,
Dwight Elmendorf carried the large audi
ence in the New National yesterday aft
ernoon. That the scenes We're as de
Hghtful as those Of Holland" seen the
week before, was attested by the close
attention shown and the frequent ap-
pIause given the lecturer and the views
on the screen.
After telling the audience that the first
the second. OF. even the third view Of the
Rhine is disappointing. but that the more
frequently that famous river is seen the
more the sights along that stream are en-
joyed the traveIOgue man launched into
his subject by showing some excellent
views Of that noted university town. Hell

CoDIeuz, Bonn. harrisburg, and other
cities gave Of their treasures. some of
ancient days others of modern times,
but all added either TO the instruction or
10 the entertainment OF the audience.
One of the most interesting points in the
entire lecture vas in the contrast shown
between the Germany of old and the
modern. progressive, manufacturing dis
tricts OF the present day.

The Jolly Girls BurlesQuers. featuring
Edmond Hayes. as Spike Hennesey. the
piano mover. hold forth az the New Ly-
ceum this week. Mr.. Hayes has. in the
role of Spike, part that is peculiarly
fitted for his physique. Tall broad shoul-
dered. and OF a deep bass voice. he is the
embodiment OF a typical piano mover
Mr.. Hayes comedy is OF high order, and
he kept two capacity audiences sn good
humor during the entire length OF the per-
formances. During the action cf the

Big Audience Crowds Around "The
Ham Tree" at the Columbia.

The Columbia Theater was filed to
OverfiOwing last night upon the reap
pearance of Mcintyre and Heath in The
Ham Tree" Those who go TO see Nc
Intyre and Heath are usually imbued
with desire for uproari0us mirth, al
though they don't object to a few good
songs and spectacular effects on the side,
and last evening every expectation in the
way of gloom-chasing was fulfilled. For
two hours and over the duo extracted
continuous laughter, the fun reaching its
most acute stage during that mOurnfully
miTthfUl argument which took place at
the water tank when the remnant Of the
busted minstrel troupe halted on its
footsore journey. the aforesaid remnant
consisting of James Mcintyre, as Alex
ander Hambletonian, and T. X. Heath,
as Henry Jones. The humor dispensed
is Of the spontaneous variety. in which
the personality figures as well as the
quality of the jokes, and the combina-
tion seems to meet with unanimous ap-
proval.
There are other things, however, which
serve admirably for purposes of diversion.
Frederick V. Bowers is present with popu-
lar and topical songs. making great hits
with "Sweethearts in Every Town" and
Goodbye, Sweet Old Manhattan Isle. %
while Belle Gold repeated her success
with "Desdemona." ". c. Fields, as
Sherlock Battles. contributed some anus
ing novelties in the line of jugglery, and
David Terrence figured as an amusing and
eccentric English nobleman. A numeT-
Gus and competent chorus assists the prin-
cipals in prolonging the enjoyment. pre-
senting many pleasing costume effects.
and rendering some catchy songs Of the
usual musical comedy type, including
Walking" Honey. Love Me All the
Time" and when the Cats Away" be-
sides assisting in other popular musical
features.
AS a means of momentary diversion the
show is an undoubted success. The sole
object. IS fun. and not an opening is left
through which any melancholy thought
might perchance creep in. In fact there
is no time for thought of any kind, and

est in politics at present is that Of a prl-
vate citizen.
In regard 10 the japanese question, at
least that phase Of it which has recently
become prominent through the action OF
the San Francisco school authorities. Gen.
Miles would not express himself. save TO
say that the problem opened up grave
possibilities and that IL might net-be set
tied for years. He declined TO express any
opinion as TO the rights or wrongs of the
stand taken by the Pacific Coast authori-
ties.
During the coming winter Gen. Miles ex-
poets t. divide his time between this city
and Boston.
The London correspondent. who signs
herself Lady Mary. wrote the following
about Cen Miles recent visit 10 London:
Gen Miles is carrying ali before him
here. He has been feted and fused over
and is an Out-and-Out conquering hero.
King Edward summoned him TO Bucking-
ham Palace privately, and they lunchcd
together, when they had a long and IN
teresting talk about military affairs. The
King was considerably impressed with
the generals conversational and descrip-
tive powers.

they were too perfect for anything. and
that he was Chesterfield resurTected.
1T may be an American idea TO send

But men don't bother their heads to do it

small fortune on the masses Of blooms
he ordered for women who were giving
parties for him"

''The Social WhirI' Scores a Pro-
nOunced Hit at BeIaSco Theater.

"The Social WhirI' scores "A Pro-
nOunced Hit at BeIascO Theater.
The Social Whirl" is well-named
There is a wIirl Of excitement in every
moment Of the bright musical comedy
which came to the Belasco Theater last
evening, and as for the society-wnat was
not present in the large audience was
joked about On the stage There was
something doing all the time during the
performance, and hit upon hit was the
order Of the evening. while so many brigh,
song hits received so many encores that
Il was very late when the final curtain
rang down.
: musical comedy in two acts is the
description of The Social WhirI," upon
the programme. II is the work OF Charles
Dcty and Joseph Herbert. as TO book and
lyrics. and by Gustav Kerker as 10 music.
The libretusts have succeeded in strik-
ing an original keynote in the construction
Of plot that is carried through 20 q
logical conclusion. and Nj Kerker is.
so to speak, himself again. The composer
Of the Belle Of New York" has awakened
IN this latest work pleasant memories OF
the days when musical comedy was in its
heyday, and it is safe 10 say that no more
enjoyable entertainment Of this class
has been seen in Washington for several
seasons.
The cast was an unusually capable one.
Elizabeth Brice. who came to Washing
ton comparatively unknown, Immediately
impressed the audience as a clever come
dienne, with clear. strong singing voice
and much personal beauty. She catches
the spirit of the piece perfectly. Ada
Lewis. always a stanch favorite. gave an
amusing character sketch OF the breezy
Western soubrette in her own inimitable
manner. Irene Hobson and Caroline
Locke as a pair Of society leaders. wore
some magnificent gowns and delivered a
voney Of quihs and sallies in friendly an
tagonism. ADELAIDE Sharp was fairly good
in Maude Raymonds role Of Beezy. but
lacks the aggressive magnetism of the
successful singer OF coon songs. Her Bill
Simmons" however, gained many en-
cores.
Charles J. Ross and Fredrick Bond
as the two y. l.. who cause all the
trouble, are as neat and legitimate q
brace Of comedians as need be. Mr.. Bond
who is well known here has added ma
terially 20 his reputation in his present
role Mr.. Ress always carries the audi
ence with him in his quiet and refined
up-to-date humOr. The Artie of Walter
Dyett was excellent, and Edward Craven
gave a natural touch 20 a small part, be
ing barely on the stage two minutes as
the court clerk, but was sufficiently
clever 10 win a round Of applause.
The greatest song hit of the evening
was You're Just the Girl I'm Looking
For" composed by +. Ray Goetz and
sung by Miss Brice 10 a whistling ac-
compartment from the gallery. "Old Man
Manhattan" which Ross sings. is a new
and original topical song. and Just
Kids" sung by Miss Brice. Mr.. Bond.
and Mr. Ross. proved q delicious bit of
tOmfOOleTy. which the audience was re-
luCtant 10 allow 10 terminate. There is q
large chorus OF beautiful girls in The
