Discovery That May Cause Radical
Change in the Methods Of Sea
Fighting.

The firing tests of British battle
ships in their firing on the Old battle
ship Hero are very interesting in one
respect. which appears to be OF such
Importance that it may lead to a new
method of attacking batJleships
After hitting the Hero four times
she sank, and, strange to say, with
out having her underwater armOr
pierced. This was known from the
fact that shells were used which do
not perforste armOr.
The experts believe that in all prob
ability one OF the high explosive shells
struck the water at a little distance
from the ship. continued its course
under water for a short distance and
struck the Hero at her most sensitive
point, namely below her armor, and
therefore acted like a torpedo
Further experiments are being
made 70 determine whether shells stri-
king the water close to a target can
be counted on to act in this way
That shells striking the water con
tinue on their course for a short dis
lance was well known, but no one
ever supposed that this could be util-
lied TO advantage in actual battle.

OF course it nay seem mean 10 dig

George lived here when he was
Young man in his early twenties and
he liked to sing. He had a first-rate
voice and made the choir out at Beck
with Memorial church, if one is cor
rectly informed as to the particular
church. The choir singers sat in a
oft back of the pulpit almost hidden
rom the congregation. At that time
here were two or three remarkably
1retty young women in the choir.
Well, there wasn't any harm in the
