The Deadly
Torpedo

(E. James in Atlanta JournaD

| wonder how many Americans
know what a modern torpedo, the
type that sank the LuSitania, really
is; how many who realize it is not

Young America on the Fouth of
July, but a devil ship, or. better
still, bloodhound of the sea which,
off the Lash, steers its own course
to its prey.
From the percentage viewpoint
torpedoes are not efficient But
that is because of The Hogue con-
vention, which presumed to govern
modern warfare. Except for those
rules every torpedo would continue
floating until it collected a toll of
lives.
The torpedo is living, self-con-
trolled instrument of destruction
and death. And England is the
home of the torpedo. Whitehead
torpedoes, the most perfect. are
made at Newcastle-on-Tham
German naval experts are great
believers in the efficiency of the tor
pedo, and were quick to adopt it.
The German type is larger than
that used on American ships. The
Germans also plan to make more
use of torpedoes than either the
British of American ships. The big
German battleships have from four
to six torpedo tubes. The maximum
number of our own dreadnau ghts
is four. Some British ships have
five tubes.
Every torpedo released during
the present war costs from $4,000
to $4,000, and the great majority

of them never find victim, but &C
to the bottom after their motive
power is exhausted.
The United States government
owns a big torpedo plant at New
port, and the result has been to re-
duce the cost of torpedoes here to
$4,000 each.
The maximum range of British
torpedoes is 1000 yards. The Ger
man torpedoes have range at best
of 1000 yards and the American
torpedoes are limited to 1000,
according to the latest figures CON-
piled by naval authorities.
The most modern torpedo, with
out doubt is the type which sank
the Lusitania, is fitted with a gyro-
scope control. It is doubtful If any
other type could have hit the Lusi-
taina except by the merest accident,
because of her speed and the con-
sequent tremendous displacement
of water
The gyroscope controlled torpedo
is the most improved type. The
British torpedo of this type has a
range of more than six miles. What
range the Germans have developed
in this was is not known. The av-
erage speed of the torpedo is forty
nots an hour. Its motive power is
exhausted at the end of it's range,
Pnd The Hague convention requir
ed that it be constructed that it
would sink when its propellers stop
ped. Otherwise it would float un-
til it collided with some substance
to float 1t. The victim might be
neutral or merchant ship.
This latest torpedo has a vertical
rudder controlled from within it's
own body and directing its own
course. Before such rudder was
fitted to torpedoes they were aimed
according TO recognized speed and
distance scale that the rest left to
chance.
In the engine room of the mod
ern torpedo is a small gyroscope
which is set spinning in the plane
of the course determined for the
torpedo. Once launched, this gyro-
scope keeps the torpedo on its
course. The slightest inclination
to swerve from that courseis check
ed by the rudder moved by the gy-
roscope.
Not only is the direction of the
torpedo guided automatically, but
the depth at which it shall run I'M
der the water is similarly controll-
ed.
The cigar-shaped case of the tor
pedo is divided into three compart-
ments. The forward compartment
contains the explosive-in the case
of the modern torpedo about 800
hounds of guncotton. Here also is
the trigger machinery that ex-

plOdeS the guncOttOn when the tor
pedO strikes its victim. The second
compartment is known as the secret
or immersion chamber. Stored in
it is the hydrostatic piston, which
regulates the depth under water at
which the torpedo runs. Before il
is launched the torpedo officer de-
termines at what depth under the
water it is desirable to have the tor
pedo strike thetarget. He fixes a
control screw that operates the n.y.
drostatic piston. Inside the pistoe
is spring which presses the pis-
ton against leather diaphragm in
the buckhead of the chamber.
The piston is connected with the
horizontal rudder. When first
launched this piston meets no re-
sistance from the leather diaph-
ragm, and the horizontal rudder is
elevated and the torpedo dives
downward at an acute angle. As it

and pressure is exerted on the

ton is thus forced back until the
horizontal rudder with which 1t is
connected assumes a normal posi-

found.

ments contain the engine which

he estimated with advantages they
will be able to offer the dealer. that
they will secure not less than

third per cent of the total volume.
With reference to advantages to
dealers, he said they would be able
to sell at lower price, on account
of being in close touch with the
market, thereby enabling them to
dispense with commission brokers
and selling direct to the dealers
The purchaser will have advant-

Special to The World
TAHLEOUAH, Okla, November "a.
Twenty eight years ago this month
the CherOkees were on the verge Of
civil war. For several days it seemed
impossible that an armed contest was
unavoidable. The cause Of the trouble
was the seating of Judge j. b. Moyes
as principal chief of the Cherokee ma
tion bv members of the Downing party
in defiance of the Nationals, who
claimed that their candidate, Assist
ant chief r. Bunch. had received a
majority of the legal votes cast In the
regular election of August, 1887.
In that election Bunch made a
strong race and received a decided
majority in practically every one Of
the nine districts Of the nation, with
the exception of CoOwccsCOOwCe the
largest district the vote of which was
so largely out of proportion with its
population that much unfavorable
comment developed soon after the
election was held.
