Frenchmans Deadly Torpedo Is
Guided by Wireless Waves to Deal
Destruction to Enemy's Warships.
By PHIL SIMS.

PARIS. July 2s-It's no use TO go

engineer, NJ. Gustave CADET, fulfills
at its official trials. few weeks hence,
the promise just given at It's unofficial

This new engine OF destruction Is

operator were on board instead OF

out of harms way.
Like the bee that is supposed TO
die when II has used its one and only
sting. this costly vessel is expected
never to make more than one "busi-
ness" trip, and that trip Is designed
to be the most expensive voyage on
record.
The preliminary trials took place
some time ago, but the working model
used on this occasion, and OF which
Il have obtained special photographs

In the fore part OF the hull there Is
accommodation for 200 pounds OF ex.

The second compartment contains
the apparatus controlling the Hertz
radioactive waves, which are now
used in wireless telegraphy, and which
will enable an operator to DIRECT the
vessel from hitherto unprecedented
distance. The third chamber of the
hull inclcses the "accumulators." They
have nothing to do with moving the
TORPEDO boat, but regulate the man
euvers aboard. The fourth compart
ment contains the petroleum motor
