INVENTS NEW TORPEDO
Lieutenant Cleland Davis Has Agent
of Destruction

Lieutenant Cleland Davis Has Agent
of Destruction.
3sThe New York Press says: Design
ed to strike the vitals of battle
ship and with single blow knock
the most powerful sea-going fortress
helpless, rather than blow a hole at
the water line, new torpedo which
Lieutenant Cleland Davis, assistant
in the equipment bureau of the ma
Wy department, has invented, and
which was tested last Wednesday off
Sheep island, in Massachusetts, bay,
promises to revolutionize offensive
and defensive tactics of naval war
fare. Lieutenant Davis pointed out
yesterday that the new torpedo diff
been feared greatly by admirals in
being able to send projectile right
into the body of the ship and there
explode it.
The old torpedo was designed to
do its damage the moment it struck
the armor plate at the water line Of
a battleship. The new torpedo is de-
vised SO that the concussion of the
nose of the torpedo and the armor
plate causes the discharge OF a gun
within the torpedo, sending a pro-
jectile smashing into the crack
made by the main torpedo.
A slow fuse igrited in the projec-
tile at the moment of contact caus-
es an explosion after the projectile
has reached the interior of the ship.
In other words the new torpedo has
a triple force.
The first impetus is furnished by
the torpedo boat that launches the
torpedo :, discharge Of the gun tube
within the torpedo the instant the
torpedo strikes the target. and the
third by the explosionpof the pro-
jectile within the body Of the ship.
The projectile within the torpedo is
like the man with the ball in foot
ball game who depends largely on
his forwards to smash hole in the
enemy's line. SO he may dart thru.
1Bo1expersuhents WITH The new tor
pedo were so successful, Lieutenant
Davis said, that they change naval
warfare in several ways. Twelve
inch guns may be used for fighting
at long distance, but the new tor
pedo, he believes, is the most effec-
tive instrument of destruction yet
devised for close range firing. The
field of action, which has been
above water, will be transferred be-
low the water line. Hitherto torpe-
does may have. been elective in
smashing holes in the sides of war
ships, but seldom did they strike
the vitals OF the great engines of
war and put them out of the fight
Ing. True, there were instances in
the Russian-Japanese war where a
torpedo caused Russian ship to
capsize, but ordinarily ship could
keep on firing even after it had been
hit. With the present invention, It
is asserted, one single blow will put
the ship oyt Of commission.

To the Honorable Board of County Sup
BAYFIELD, Co., Wis. 11-7-O7
Gentlemen,
herewith submit my annual rebort. With
it are lists of teachers for the year 19O7-O0 and
of school officers for 1907-O8 also my Office copy
of my annual report to the state superinten-
dent. From this report the chairman from
each town may get the items relating to his
town. My report to you gives summaries for
the entire county.
The most encouraging feature of the work
has been the interest shown by school boards
in improving the school buildings and lettering
the equipment Heating and ventilatin9 plants
have been placed in many schools The new
law giving special state aid to rural schools,
which meet the conditions laid down by the
state superintendent Will do much to encourage
the work so well begun. [ anticipate that SO
pea cent of the schools will be in line for this
aid before the year is ended.
The teachers with few exceptions have
done conscientious and progressive work
The rural schools are growing, several of
them enrolling from IS to 45pupils.
The Rural School Problem is now the
principal topic at all educational meetings and
the state department has given much attention
to devsing means for their betterment
Their principal need is trained teachers.
They are used mostly as training schools
where young people may learn to teach. AS
soon as they become good teachers, and some
times before this they get town positions and
the places filed again by new beginners.
These beginners bring much enthusiasm to the
work and many of them are fairly successful
but the pupils cannot make the progress under
this system that they should make. It will
continue just SO long as the rural yeople will
permit it, When they decide that their boys
and girls are as worthy of trained, experienced
teachers as are the city boys and girls, and
they are willing to pay the price needed to get
and keep such teachers they will have them.
The rural school under strong teacher is the
very best rchool for the average child.
Of the "a department sor schools I visited
81, some Of them two three times, making
ITO visits in all. I regret that did not reach
the other seven schools, but the necessary Office
work kept me in when l should have visited
them.
The school census shows an increase of 239
over the census of last year.

WOULD CARVE LINCOLN STATUE

Lincoln.-Xavier Stadler Of Oma-
ha has offered to outline the Lincoln
statue. His offer is as follows:
Concerning the Lincoln statue to

wish to state that l could furnish the
model and carve the statue out of
one of the blocks of Tennessee
marble which are lying on the
grounds for the sum of $4,000.

to carve the statue at my own ex-
pense and risk, being satisfied that
the legislature would sooner or later
approve and accept my work and pay
me the price it was worth. I was
unable to obtain the permission to
use the marble, however, nobody
seeming to be willing to take the
responsibility and let me go on with
the work"
