a Jeweler Can't Be Found.
What to do with a water soaked
watch Is often a problem when one is
caught In the wilderness, or in a com.
munity where no jeweler is to be
found. Lack of knowing what steps
to take often results In much expense,
If not In the utter ruin of the watch.
Watches made with both a screw
face and screw back may be dried
easily by removing the front and back,
emptying the watch Of as much water
as will run out, reversing the crystal.
screwing it on the back of the watch
and then laying it where the sun will
have a chance to reflect through the
crystal.
The heat Of the sun on the crystal
will draw the moisture from the works
In fifteen or twenty minutes. II water
still remains In the works, the crystal
may be unscrewed, wiped and replaced
and the process repeated.
After the sun fails to draw n more
Of the water out on to the glass 1t Is
safe to conclude that there is no more
In the works, and the oil originally on
them, warmed by the sui, lubricates
the parts.
There should be no more trouble with
the watch. although it is advisable to
have it examined by a jeweler at the
earliest Observation-Disclosures World.

Golden Text, l Chron. xviii.
To get the connection let US look at
the important events since last lesson.
After David's return to his throne
there was a rebellion under a wicked
man named Sheba, the son Of Bichri,
but he was overthrown and slain, and
a city was saved through the influence
OF a wise oma who may be ranked
with the wise m Of Tekoa and
with Jael, the wife Of Heber Oh Sam.
Xx, l, 16, 90. In II Sam. xii we have
n OF David's great songs Of deliver
ance, which Is repeated In full in Ps.
xviii. In II Sam. xiii we have some
of David's last words, which we may
perhaps find space to consider in con-
nection with the record Of his death in
today's lesson.
But there are some things which we
must notice in II Sam. xiv, such as
the story Of the thrashing floor of
Araunah, the Jebusite, over which the
Lord stayed the hand Of the destroy
ing angel, saying, at is enough" and
which David bought for fifty shekels
of silver II the whole place or hill for
600 shekels of gold Oh Sam. xiv, 16,
"a; l Chron. xxi, 22-25). This hill was
the identical mount Moriah on which
Abraham offered up Isaac and received
him back from the dead in a figure,
and on this hill Solomon built the tenn
pie which David desired to build, but
was not permitted to, but God gave
him the plans Of it and allowed him
to prepare abundantly for it. See care
fully these passages, l Chron. xviii,
II, -, 10; II Chron. iii, l. In I Kings
ii, IA. we nave some of the last words
of David, with a few Of his words to
Solomon, but much more fully in I
Chron. xviii and xxx, With his Won
derful prayer in xxx, 1919, which we
found great pleasure in memorizing in
the Bible classes not long ago. Oh for
a lesson on some Of these portions
teeming with the riches Of his grace
and glory instead Of the less restful
portions, such as the lesson Of today!
But let us notice before looking at
this lesson that Moriah and the thresh-
ing floor Of Araunah or Ornan, the
same hill, are strongly suggestive Of
the great atonement Of the Lord Jesus,
so that the foundation Of the temple
was really the atonement. So also in
| the tabernacle Of Moses every board
stood on the silver which was paid as
a ransom for their souls. The only
foundation for an individual or for the
| church Is the finished work Of the Lord
Jesus. In our lesson today David is
said to be old, though he was only sew

required direction, while the proper
depth in the water-usually from ten
to fourteen feet-is maintained by
horizontal rudders. The torpedo Is
kept submerged by means 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
we'll 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.
"The method of firing a torpedo IS
very much like that Of discharglng 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
sights are aligned on the enemy the
officer in charge presses a key, and
electricity causes the discharge"
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 1000 yards at a speed
Of forty-five knots. This is the maxi
mum of torpedo efficiency and power
today, most of the torpedocs used by
the American and other n%avles, ill.,

The details Of the latest German tor
pedo as obtained just prior to the war

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.

in its war head 300 pounds Of gun cot
ton, the explosive With which the tor
pcdo damage is done, and is capable Of
covering 1900 yards at the rate of
thirty-tive knots. while it has an ex-
treme range of about 10000 yards.
T%orpedoes are fired from torpedo
tubes on board the ship d%ischarging
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 arlnorel YES
sels-for pre-DreadnoughtS. Dread
noughts, per-Dreadnoughts 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.
Gyroscope Principle Used.
AS soon as the torpedo reaches the
water the propelling engines start. the
gyroscopic steering gear points it for
the target, and when it 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.

neither edge Of a battleship's armor.
Sometimes the torpedo goes on it's
course at a depth a. great as fourteen
feet. If the torpedo travels close to
the surface it 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 So, 600 to
over $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 800 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-thtrd 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-
Delllng 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 "clockwisc' 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 a torpedo is so
amazingly perfect that in anything like
favorable circumstances, so it is stated
by Charles w. Domville-Fife, a we'll
known British naval expert, 1t may be
depended upon, II we'll aimed, to strike
within a yard or two of the spot aimed
at. This accuracy is largely due to the
