Latest Ennlns of Warfare.

A terrible weapon Of warfare has
been invented. In the British Naval
Annual for 1914, just published, there
Is q description Of a continuance that
might almost be described as devllish.
It is Of the Leon torpedo mine, which
has now been acquired and is being
manufactured by a British firm. This
engine Is so constructed that 1t can be
set to hover between any depths below
the surface that may be desired. When
placed in the water 1t has slight neg
alive buoyancy, and sinks until auto
matically o propeller is brought into
action which drives 1t upwards again.
It can be used in the open sea by any
type of ship, or, in the case Of tidal
harbors, 1t could be released by a YES
sci outside so as to make its way with
the tide into the anchorage, and per
haps destroy shipping there. A touch
on the deadly steel "whiskers" which
project from its upper surface, and
the enemy would be sent to the bot

Bang-"a sudden noise like that

the dictionary. But the explanation
IL belonging and futile. for q bang"
is-well. what better describes II
than the simple word itself?
So many Of our most expressive
words seem similarly to have sprung
from q desire to form with the lips q

Why waste words on q definition OF
the word splash" for examplef You
hear all the abrupt, restless heaving
