WARFARE Revouonzed Hammond On Shore CONTROLS Boat Three MILES

warfare for an indefinite period, as Mr..
Hammond has carefully guarded the
methods by means of which he achieved
success. so there is little probability of
their becoming known TO other nations.
Besides, he has advanced far ahead of
any other inventor working on the sams
problem.
Mr.. Hammond has added an improve
ment to his craft in the form of an ap-
paratus which prevents interference
with his radio control. BY means OF
this device no enemy with a radio equip
ment of higher power than that direct
ing the movements of the Natalie can
interfere with the waves controlling her.
. General F. NJ. Weaver. chief of ths
coast artillery corps. who has had the
Natalie under observation for more than
a year. is confident that young Ham
mond has invented an invaluable ad-
junct to the engines of war Regarding
the radio-contrOlled craft, he says:
Mr.. Hammond has, in the opinion OF
the chief of coast artillery, at the pres
ent time worked out the details of radio
control so as to make it possible to apply
il in the form of a spar torpedo to a
mOtorboat. His further experiments
point to a satisfactory solution of the
problem of applying his equipment to a
submerged torpedo under radio control
control can be exercised is limited only
by the distinctness of vision aided by
telescopes.
1T should be pointed out that this
new type of weapon does not displace the
submarine mine defense. The radio
controlled torpedo is an offensive weapon
and like the projectiles of guns and NOR
tars seeks its own target and seeks it
under constantly controlled direction.
IF such a means of attack were add
ed to those We now have we would then
be able to attack an enemy's ships by
mortar fire falling vertically on the
decks of the ships, by gunfre against the
side. turret and barbette armor and by
submarine mines and radio-controlled
torpedo below water. The controlIable,
mobile type of torpedo has been always
considered desirable as a feature OF
coast defense armament, but no practi-
cal solution of the problem has hereto
lore been offered"

definitely, with no part of il burning out,
and the frequency of the current can be
readily adjusted without need of inter
Tupting the conversation. This IS what
had retarded wireless telephony. The
tube can alter the frequency from zero
TO 100, 900 waves a second. The wave
frequency of the largest wireless tele-
graph stations at present is 10000,
making each sound wave six miles Ions
10000 of them passing a given point
in a second. The wireless telephone
with the mercury tube probably will use
about the same frequency.
'Telephoning TO Europe is not the
difficult problem one would imagine, but
is simpler than communication by wire
less telegraph. The equipment for wire
less telephOning is less than that re-
qIired for other communication by wire
less. and with the simple little tube the
personnel OF a wireless telephone sta
tiOn would be far smaller than. that ~

orchestra besides.

which messages from the air pass into
the little receptacle. The wire at the
top is connected with the sound collect
ing wires on the roof of a building or
the top of 4 tower. On one side OF tho
glass tube. near the bottom. little glass
bulb prOtrudes. and through this the
positive electrode enters.
On the outside this electrOde is con-
neCted with two wires. One OF these
wires runs through a potentiometer
which regulates the current, and thence
to the telephone headpiece. The other
wire leads to the batteries which operate
the receiver. This eleCtrode Is the most
important part of the apparatus, and on
this alone Mr.. Hewitt worked for several
:'ears. Its location and formation is OF
the utmost importance.
The sending device also relies on the
mercury vapOr tube for its power. but
instead of changing alternating current
to direct. il changes direct to alternat-
ing current. II is based on the same
principle as the receiver.
There remain only a few details re-
garding patents and the final mechanical
touches before the instrument is placed
before the public. In addition TO its
commercial utility. Mr.. Hewitt believes
his wireless telephone device will be in
valuable for military purposes The au-
transported with ease. Mr. Hewitt. who
is d grandson of Peter Cooper and p son
of the late Mayor Hewitt OF New York
says that ii will be possible 70 so attune
the instruments that messages cannot he
overheard or intercepted. The inventors
ancestors were French and English and
as soon as the apparatus Is perfected il
will be offered to the French and British
governments for use in the war
In using the instruments for military
purposes" Mr.. Hewitt says. "it would
not be possible for an enemy to inter-
cept messages sent by one commander
to another; and spoken in plain French
or English. unless the enemy happened
and knew how to attune ii TO catch the
message. Even if an enemy possessed
precisely the same sort of an instrument
and knew how to attuRe it, he would get
only a confused tumble of sounds for the

wouldn't work right, until / made the
positive electrode in the shape of a
small disk with a hole in its center. and
placed the platinum needle directly I'M
der the hole. The current then spread
from all parts of the pierced positive disk
simultaneously and entered the tiny

the problem had been solved. II was a
question of getting the instrument and
the current balanced perfectly and the
electrodes to working in absolute har-
mOny.'
The surface of the spoonful of mer-
curry in the bottom of the tube revealed
the little platinum point that formed
the negative electrode. While the in
srrumtnt was receiving wireless messages
that weren't meant for il. but we're being
picked up in the air at random, little
blue light glinted and flashed on the
tiny point.
The most important phenomenon
produced by the VspOr tube il this" Mr..
Hewitt continued: with the electrodes
adjusted as they are in the receiving ap-
paratus an alternating electric current

rent on passing through the vapor. \

This fact makes il possible to catch

rent creates sound waves in the ether.

At SEA BY
Radio Waves

THE Natalie, the radio-controlled
boat invented by John Hays Ham
mond, Jr., will revolutionize meth
DDS of coast defense and the opera
ton Of torpedoes, according TO army
officers who witnessed the latest dem
onstration of the remarkable invention
at Gloucester, Mass, last month.
The officers stood on the shore with
Mr.. Hammond and watched him send
the Natalie, mOtorbOat ifty-four feet
long. three miles out to sea, guiding 1t
to any spot the officers directed merely
by means of radio waves. The special
commission of army officers, composed
of Colonel r. P. Davis. Captain Francis
J. Behr and Lieutenant S. NJ. Decker, is
enthusiastic over the invention and is
expected to heartily indorse the new
craft to the United States board of ord
nance and Notifications as affording one
of the most valuable and substantial
additions to the offensive powers of the
coast defenses of the United States
devised in years.
The army officers are of the firm con-
viCtion that a radio-controlled torpedo
with hitting power much greater than
any now known may be regarded as be
ing developed to the highest point OF
utility. In addition, there is every rea-
son to believe this marvellous invention
can be successfully applied to the condi-
tiOnS of battle between fleets at sea. II
is believed that the device can be used
TO control a specially constructed surface
torpedo so that hostile warships can be
destroyed from shore at a distance OF
several miles.
The army commission watched Mr..
Hammond put the Natalie through all
her PAGES without a single failure to re-
spond to radio control. The inventor
was able to direct the movements of
the craft absolutely at will. From his
laboratory on shore Mr.. Hammond put

Sikh's Terrible
Disc of Death

unique weapon possessed by any
military body. 1t is a missile
thrown by hand, and made from metal
similar in form to the discus. Its edge
is sharpened like a razor, and the weap-
on, when thrown with circular motion,
has extraordinary penetrating power. AZ
distance of a hundred yards the disc
is capable of cutting its way through
piece of hard wood two inches thick. 1t
is the peculiar twist given to the weapon
when 1t is thrown which causes the edge
TO bury itself in anything it meets.
They made deadly use of the disc OF
death at the battle of Dixmude. when
10000 Germans are said to have been
slaughtered in q. charge.
