Neither Required Nor Desired.

While the recent discussion of the
subject has dealt only with the equip
ment of battleships and cruisers, Ad-
miral Strauss took occasion to point
out that long-range torpedoes are
neither required nor desired for sub
marines He recalled that the British
armored cruisers Aboukir. Cressy and
Hogue were torpedoed and destroyed
by a German submarine at a range OF
500 yards.
"Long-range torpedoes," Secretary Dan
iels also states, ARE neither required nor
desired for submarines. Submarine
warfare is of such a character as to
make it advisable to use short-range,
high-speed torpedoes. and that is the
class that submarines are being fur
nished with. The Aboukir. Cressy and
Hogue were torpedoed recently. 1t will
be recalled, at a range of 500 yards"

PEST OF THE WEST INDIES

A curiously destructive pest OF
Grand Cayman island Of the British
West Indies is found in certain species
O: crabs They not only partake raven
ously OF everything edible, but their
burrows do great damage. and they
fill these burrows with every kind OF
stolen small articles. A bulletin OF
Kew Gardens notes that such utterly
useless objects as knives and pocket
compaases are hidden away.
Eggs from under a setting hen are
devoured, If not the hen herself. and
so many leaves of Seeding cocoanut
trees are eaten that to 10 per cent
of the plants may require replacing in
newly cleared ground from which the
crabs have been thoroughly thinned
out. Patches of thin soil In the bush
become covered with vegetation after
the complete driving away OF the
crabs. They shut themselves I'M
derground in the early part OF the
year to change their shells, and for
their barricades OF sticks and rubbish
they nip off or root up saplings three
quarters of an inch in diameter. An
other reprehensible characteristic,
