A Batt1eship's Slim Chance

TT is hard to see what chance even the great
est battleship will have in the next naval
war with one of these weapons; for even if the
torpedo boat Is kept at a respectful distance
by the great twelve-inch rifles and smaller
armament OF the battleship there is always the
submarine, which can get close in unseen and
discharge its tremendous mass of deadly gun
cotton against the monsters sides. The fore
cast OF wireless telegraphy gave naval cleo
tricians an idea that one day the torpedo might
be under absolute control during its brief
journey; and wireless telegraphy has be-
come an every day fact of commercial life, so
also have these wondrous naval dreams been
realized.
A young Swedish inventor, .Axel Orling,
working with J. T. Armstrong of London, has
found a way of transmitting motive power !;
not, however, by sending electrical waves
through space, but by rays of light. Thus
torpedoes of to-day and the future can be
steered without visible or material connection
with the steersman. The new torpedo is
fitted with an apparatus to receive the rays
sent out from the controlling station, enabling
the operator on ship or shore to set the rudders

The Drea drought Helpless

COMPARED with a torpedo boat, the
Dreadnought of to-day is costly and slow;
compared with the submarine she is not only
costly but affords an enormous target for an
invisible enemy. Then. too, her crew of nine
hundred, and her general upkeep, run into an
enormous amount annually. To feed her
costly guns with shot and shell, even for prac-
tiCe, is another immense item; and as to coal,
she eats it up in thousands of tons. And to
think that this monster. representing all that
treasure and genius can devise, might be sent
to the bottom in two minutes by one of the
new dirigible torpedoes costing a paltry five
thousand dollars!
The Dreadnought and her international Sis
tiers will have watchful eyes day and night for
these destructive fish, and she will churn the
sea with quick firers and heavy guns where
the presence of one is suspected. But what is
this attack to the new wireless torpedo?
Obedient to its far off controller. it will dive
like living creature and bob up again hun
dreds OF yards away to light or left, and then
renew its inevitable course according to the
electric vibrations Net or no net, when it gets
near the doomed ship it will dive forty feet if
necessary and rise again to ram its nose against
the great steel citadel.
A mighty shock will be followed by an up
heaval as though from a submarine volcano.
The proud Dreadnought, the last word of a
nations might upon the sea, will be seen heel
ing amid the smoke and steam, and in a minute
or two will be engulfed in the agitated waters.

thirty horse power, and the compressed air is
heated by an electric lamp, which also lights
of its own acCord-comes into life, in fact, with
the rest of the marvellous mechanism when the
weapon strikes the water. These torpedoes
will cost the Government from four thousand
to six thousand dollars each; and whereas the
old Whitehead had an effective range of hardly
more than six hundred or eight hundred yards
the new Bliss-Leavitt torpedo races at rail-
road speed to its destination with a range of
nearly four thousand wards
