Of David's last words, which we may
perhaps find space to consider in con-
nection with the record Of his death In

But there are some things which we

Abraham offered up Isaac and received

the great atonement Of the Lord Jesus,

depth in the water-usually from ten
to fourteen feet-is maintained by
horizontal rudders. The torpedo IL
kept submerged by e Of the bal
ance chamber and Is controlled In its
steering by the wonderful instrument
known as the gyroscope.
$50 marvellous Is its mechanism that
In favorable circumstances a torpedo
well aimed may be depended upon to
strike within a yard or two Of the spot
aimed at. Briefly described, the gyro-
scope is a rotating wheel which auto
matically controls the ~torpedo's course.
1.-THE method Of firing a torpedo is
very much like that Of discharging a
gun. 1t Is expelled from a torpedo tube
by compressed air. Upon reaching the
water the torpedo Is driven by Its
screws in the required direction. The
missile is guided by a very ingenious
invention called a torpedo director
This is a little brass instrument fitted
with sights like a gun. When the

Forty.five Knots For 1000 Yards.
The latest torpedoes Of the British
navy have a diameter Of twenty-one
inches, have an extreme range Of H.
600 yards, and the claim Is made that
they can cover 1000 yards at a speed
Of forty-five knots. This is the maxi
mum Of torpedo efficiency and power
today, most of the torpedoes used by
the American and other navies, In
Guiding the British, not having so great
a range or high a speed as that men,
toned.
The details of the latest German tor
pedo as obtained just prior to the war
the torpedo with which 1t was in
tended to equip the latest battleships
then under construction and the tor
pedo which, it is believed, is now be-
ing used in considerable numbers by
the Germans-show that 1t has a d.
ameter of twenty-five inches, carries
in it's war head 800 pounds Of gun cot
ton, the explosive with which the tor
pedo damage is done. and is capable of
covering 1000 yards at the rate OF
thirty-five knots, while 1t has an ex-
IRENE range Of about 10000 yards.
Torpedoes are fired from torpedo
tubes on board the ship ~discharging
them by a small quantity Of gunpow-
der or by compressed air. the latter
method being now in general use. In
the case of the modern armored YES
sels-for re-Dreadnoughts, Dread
noughts. superb readnoughts and cruis-
ers all carry torpedoes-the torpedo
tubes are under the water; In surface
torpedo craft the tubes are placed on
deck. Formerly battleships and armor-
ed cruisers carried torpedo tubes
above the water, but these were aban-
doned on account Of the danger
through premature explosion Of a tor
pedo by an enemy's shot.
Gyroscops Principle Used.
As soon as the torpedo reaches the
water the propelling engines start, the
gyroscopic steering gear points 1t for
the target, and when 1t attains Its
speed and proper depth below the sur
face of the water nothing indicates its
whereabouts but a small ripple on the
surface of the water and the escaping
air bubbles. The weapon can be set
to travel at varying depths below the
surface, but nine feet Is a common dis
lance. this taking them below the

Sometimes the torpedo goes on its
course at a depth as great as fourteen
feet. II the torpedo travels close to
the surface 1t will, of course, cause
more agitation on the surface than
would otherwise be the case.
The modern torpedo varies in length
from fourteen to nineteen feet, al
though few fourteen footers are now
in use, and weigh up to half a ton.
The cost Of a torpedo is from $1,000 to
owe $1,000. Lieutenant Taprell Dor
ling Of the British navy in describing
the various parts Of a torpedo explains
that the extreme front of the Weapon
consists Of the war head. containing
the explosive charge Of %guncotton, COM
posed Of from 200 to 300 pounds. This
guncotton explodes on impact by means
Of an appliance fitted in the nose of
the torpedo, consisting Of a pistol, de-
tonator and primer.
The next compartment to the head
Is the air chamber. This is a cylinder
about one-third Of an inch thick, bored
out Of an ingot Of the finest quality
high tensile steel. 1t will stand a pres
sure varying. according to the torpedo,
from 1850 pounds per square inch to
$3.50 pounds.
Balance Chamber.
The third compartment Is the bal
ance chamber. Inside this is contain
ed the mechanism which actuates the
horizontal rudders at the tail and so
keeps the torpedo at its correct depth,
which is set before the weapon is
fired. Behind the balance chamber is
the engine room, containing the pro-
polling machinery, enormously power
full In proportion to the size of the
weapon, the latest torpedoes with an
eighteen inch diameter having engines
Of sixty horsepower.
Then comes the ~buoyancy chamber,
giving the torpedo the necessary buoy
ancy. In this is the gyroscope, for cor
recting any deviation Of the weapon
from the line of fire. The gyroscope
works on the same principle as the
gyroscope tops which will spin at any
angle and consists of a brass fywheel,
which is started spinning when the tor
pedo Is fired. The fywheel Of the
gyroscope will always spin in the same
plane. Thus, If the torpedo alters its
course to left or right, the gyroscope
wheel remains steady and, by means
of connecting rods, works the vertical
rudders to bring the weapon back to
its true course.
The last compartment Is the tail.
This contains the gearing for convey
ing the motion Of the engines to the
twin screws and the mechanism for
operating the rudders. The screws
move. 'clockwise" and 'anti-clockwise."
One screw revolves In the same .direc-
ton as the hands of a watch and the
other in the opposite way, the idea be-
ing that each counterbalances the 9TH
err as regards its tendency to cause the
whole torpedo to turn to the right or
the left.
The mechanism Of q torpedo is so
amazingly perfect that In anything like
favorable circumstances, so 1t Is stated
by Charles ". Domville-Fffe. a well
known British naval expert. 1t may be
depended upon, If well aimed. to strike
within a yard or two Of the spot aimed
at. This accuracy Is largely due to the
gyroscope.
