TORPEDO HITS BOAT
BIG HOLE IS KNOCKED IN THE
 BLA1kELY.
Whitehead Implement of War Runs Away on the Tarwet Range sad Hole is Steve In
 e Vennel.

t Pensacola. Fla. March 3o.-fSpecial,) With jagged hole in her port side foot wide by nearly two feet in length. the torpedo boat Biakely is ly- ing on the dry dock at the navy yard as the result of a runaway Whitehead torpedo striking her while on the tar get range. where the flotiila is at practice.
 The immense torpedo which cost more than s5.ooo. with its intricate machin- cry, has been lost. evidently sinking when 1t jammed the boat
 The commander of the torpedo beat has declined to make a statement un- til after the court of inquiry which has been appointed concludes its investiga- tion which will be tomorrow. It was learned from others however that one of the big torpedoes with which the vessel was practicing had been set for a range of 1000 yards and the pro- peller adjusted for the course. The torpedo was fired and striking the wa ter started on it's course at the rate of thirty miles an hour. When about 100 yards distant 1t suddenly swerved and began a circle. It passed around the biakely and then came ahead on the boat with such speed that although the Blakely was started ahead at full speed she could not clear herself and the torpedo struck her aft driving an immense hole through her plates through which the water poured.
 The crew started the pumps and par. tially stopped the flow of water with bedding asd mattresses and the boat made for the navy yard. When she reached the wharf her hold was filled with three feet of water and she was taken into the dock as quickly as pos sible.
 The accident is the first of it's kind known m many years and had the tor pedo been charged the vessel would have been blown up.

Live outdoors, and let your work be exercise Else walk ten miles day. Eat little meat. no white bread, no rich pastries. Eat many green vege- tables, plenty of fruit, and bread made of whole wheat.
