TORPEDO IN RUNAWAY DASH
New York Bathers Have Close
Call in Peconic Bay.

A runaway torpedo rushing through
the water just missed running into a
group of bathers yesterday in Peconic
Bay, off Noyac, L. I. The bathers were
Mr.. and Mrs Frank Howell, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Edwards, Miss Lillian Man
sir and Miss Nellie NJ. Wedges. all Of
Manhattan.
The torpedo was fired from the testing
barge of the z. W. Bliss Company, of
BROOKLYN. which is anchored several
miles off shore in Peconic Bay. Leaving
the barge. il shot for an instant straight
over its course on the proving grounds,
but swerved to the right and made for
the little group of bathers.
None of them noticed the torpedo until
sDectators on the shore warned them of
their peril in time for all of them TO
scramble out of its path. It contained
no explosive, but at the speed at which
il was going il would have played havoc
with anything in its path
The bathers had hardly reached safety
when the huge steel shell ploughed
through the spot where they had been,
sped on up the beach and buried its
nose in the sand. from which the crew of
the testing barge recovered it. They
said that the steering gear had dropped
off after il was fired, thus accounting for
its erratic course

LOCKSMITH TOO CLEVER
Showing Burglar Proof Devic ;
Taken for Thief Himself.

Charles H. Fogler an enterprising
lock dealer, of Yonkers. got into trouble
yesterday by use of what he character
lied as a harmless twentieth century
method OF soliciting business.
For several days residents in various
sections of Yonkers have been complain
ing to the police Of the operations of
lockpicker, who was causing the strong
est bolts and bars to yield to his subtle
touch The complainants thought the
man was a burglar. but on investigating
found it was only the enterprising Fog
Ter who has been picking locks to prove
to householders the worthlessness of the
bar by which their doors We're secured,
and at the same time to introduce
device of his own which he says protects
a house against the most skilful lock
expert
It was a common thing for Fosler to
turn deftly lock and entering home
tap the surprised housekeeper on the
arm and ask her if she didn't think she
ought to have a real lock on the door.
Fogler was not hostilely received by the
astonished women whose homes he en-
tered until yesterday, when Mrs. j.
Lyons summoned policeman who took
Fogler to headquarters. Explaining. he
was paroled until to-day.

DRISCOLL AT CONEY ISLAND
Commissioner Goes After the
Guess Your Weight" Men.

Clement DriscoH, head of the Bureau
of Weights and Measures. visited Coney
Island last night to investigate COM
plants against the so-called guess
vour-weight'' machines. The result was
that two demands were made on the
operators of these machines; first. that
they show signs stating the charge that
would be made, and, second. that they
cease the practice of feeling the person
that is to be weighed Mr.. Driscoll
went over to the police station and told
Acting Captain Charles Easom to see
that these orders were enforced
In his visit to twelve of the machines
Mr.. Driscoll paid out about 81 Is, and he
found that no two of them weighed him
alike He made the second regulation
in answer to a complaint that some of
the operators were in league with pick
nockets. and that when they felt per-
son to aid in guessing his weight they
lust located his purse and then told the
pickpocket. who then did his part In
securing the purse.
Acting Captain Easom, after a visit to
the Bowery last night, forbade the auc-
tioning of prizes at the japanese roll
BALI games. He said the proprietors
had no license to auction. Another reg
ulation which he made was in connec-
tor with the ''hoop-la" games, where
he ordered the cutting down of the ped
estals on which the various prizes were
niaced. inasmuch as he discovered that
in many cases the pedestals were larger
than the hoops which were thrown at
them. thus preventing the thrower OF the
hnnn from ever getting a prize.

As In other classes of stock, it should
be remembered that the ram is half

pends largely on the character and
quality Of the sire selected for service.
He should be pure bred and of me-
dium size for the breed. OTergrown
rams not usually beget the strongest
lambs. He should show evidences OF
high quality and vigor of constitution,
as seen in a short, thick neck, a
broad breast, a short, strong back,
short legs and general alertness of
manner, with bright eye and quick
movement. One or two years Is a
good age for a ram, at which age
rams are generally at their best. This
is not an infiexible matter, however,

Judieious feeding does not imply ex-

Driving cows in hurry is money

more a cow is exposed the less milk
