THE ROOM A MAN LIKES.

most men never do have room Of

OF ideal room that seems to appeal

PROBLEM OF PROTECTING Fl

IN HE sinking of the dfeadnought
Audacious. followed Ivy the
i sudden total destruction of the
battleship Bu!wark has given
the naval experts in this toun,ry food
for serious thought and plenty OF ma
terial for technical discussion The
public also is concerned in the lessons
TO be drawn from these British naval
losses. for the question naturally arises
What might happen to American ships
under similar circumstances?
The second catastrophe the blowing
up Of II. NJ. $. Bulwlrk. may be con-
sidered first. Accepting the official
theory of the British Admiralty that
the d, destruction OF the craft was due TO
an internal explosion, this narrows the
probable causes, eliminating The
chances Of spy work or treachery. to
two possibilities. one the blowing up OF
a magazine aud the other the explod-
ing Of a shell accidentally dropped and
the resulting detonation OF neiGhbor ng
masses Of explosives. Il has been said
that the Bulwark was loading am
munition just previous TO the disaster,
and this leads TO the question, Would
the dropping OF a loaded projectile be
likely to invite such consequences?
Some years ago condition of affairs
was discovered in the American naval
service that might have brought about
just such cata strophe as that which
overwhelmed the British battleship., An
ordnance engineer, a civilian. had been
detailed by the chief of the bureau Of
ordnance to make some experiments
with the idea OF improving the fuses
then used in the navy's big projectiles
What he learned nearly made his hair
stand on end.
The little springs set in the fuses and
designed to hold the decorating plungers
away from the caps until the moment
when the shell should explode were

he shows in q game. After he had been
