TIarbor defense is effected by the
mobile navy, by gunGre from fortiflca-
tions and by mining. The operation
of submarine mines may be effected in
several ways. but in the most APP
proved practice the control of the eX-
plosion is electrical. In harbor defense
mines are usually anchored i'm known
positions and consist as rule of large
pressed steel vessels of spherical cyln-
drical form. Within is placed charge
of high explosive, which in the best
practice is fired by an electric heat
ing current controlled from the shore.
The arrangements may provide for
firing automatically or by hand.
The use Of electricity enables mines
to be operated with greater accuracy
and with incomparaby less danger to
the ships of the fortified power than
under the old regime of purely auto
matte mine firing. Testing Is ordinarily
effected by the use of feeble battery
power. Pilot lights, electric bells,
buzzers and telautographs are all en-
ployed TO a greater or less extent I'm
mine operations.
Until recently the carriages for the
larger caliber coast defense guns were
manipulated by hand power, but as a
result of successful tests electric mo-
tors are rapidly coming into this serv-
ice. In disappearing carriages of the
type used I'm the United States the OPP
erations to be performed are those of
elevating and depressing, traversing
and the retraction of the gun from the
battery position to that assumed after
firing. Usually a four horsepower mo-
tor operating at 10 volts handles the
traversing service through gear and
pinion and a four horsepower motor is
used for elevating. depressing and re-
tracing. The chief advantages of
electricity for this service are In the
line of saving labor.
The whole tendency OF electrical APP
plications in war is TO reduce fighting
to push button basis. Courage OF
the highest type is required to face the
hidden terrors made possible by cleo
tricity, and II the conduct Of cam
: paigns loses in dramatic interest in
: comparison with the spectacular hand
to hand combats of former ages. war
gains i'm destructive power through
the utilization OF scientific progress
And destruction is the chief business
OF modern military conflicts.

Electric searchlights are used both
as offensive and defensive aids; de-
fensive when used by shore fortified
tons to light channels or by a vessel
tic discover the approach of torpedo
boats; offensive when used as blind
ing lights TO smother the light of an
approaching vessel and confuse her
pilot. Field searchlights are usually
supplied with electricity from a dyna-
mo driven on the portable truck of a
steam. oil or gasoline engine.
At Port Arthur. according to George
Kennon the Russians Illuminated the
whole field of action with star rock
cts and powerful searchIights which
they borrowed from their battleships
and in night attacks the Japanese had
to advance and fight i'm n brilliant
glare which not only blinded them but
hid i'm a mantle of blackness the posi-
ton of their enemy. The Russians al
that time had no less than nine pow
erful searchllghts, and some of them
were so powerful and penetrating as
TO show leaves of trees and blades OF
grass at a distance of more than three
miles. Under such conditions night
was dangerous rather than a favor
able time for attack, since il gave
every advantage to the side that had
the searchlights.

wooD.MARTlN OPPOSITION.

The publication of an authorized interview which w. H. Martin gave lo the press. in which he opposeo the acceptance of Montgomery eoun- ty's proposal for q distribution of the district offices( and in which Mar. lin statel that J. B. Wood concur red. is not doing the political pros i'ssts fer Weea any good in Mont gomery county
 Martin, in his congressional candi- daey. does not touch Montgomery county. Wool. if he really under takes reelection, will have to submit his candidacy to Garland and Mont gnmery county voters. and as he new CT carried Garland county before when four were in the case, it would at least appear reasonable that his dependence for reelection this time must lie with Montgomery county.
 The Montgomery County Times, published at Nit. Ida, says of the situation:
 s'Tha Democratic Central Commit tee of Garland county, which win convene shortly will doubtless ac- v .s the proposition rendered by the .1s. tIon from this county last week a''e'a'o to the distribution of Ju- sne is offices. This proposition S'Tses no account of present tenures but comedies to Garland county a most generous course which should be recognized as pretty spirit ol sentimental brotherhood in the ranks of our Democrats who desire to "piaS fairs, and strengthen the links oi the Democratic chain in both coun. ties by having an agreement whicf must be recognized as not only ' concession from this county bat { teal which Garland county, with al her political desires. must feel Mont gomery county should have.
 Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Woo, Is said to have oppsed the agreement and, if such is a fact %e do not sec why lle should feel fit to antagoni2e it. h antagonizing it he antagoniz- es Montgomery county anu if he does not think so we are of the opinion the voters of Montgomery county will feel very sure about 1t and will back their opinien by fav- bring men whose personal selfish ness does not stand in the way ol creating political harmony in both counties.
