SEA MINES IN WARFARE.
How They Are Planted and the Method
of Their Explosion.

Mines planted in the sea do not
float in sight. The depth has to
be judged to make the explosion
take place against the most vulner-
able parts of the vessel, and they
are therefore put deep enough to
miss the armored belt.
In size the average mine is some
four or five feet in diameter. 1t is
charged with a high explosive, most
ly of the type known to experts as
picrite explosives. The method by
which it is discharged is not the
force of the blow with which the
ship strikes it. The most common
device is explosion by the compile
lion Of ali electric circuit.
In order to achieve this a circuit
is set up with a certain gap in it.
Somewhere inside the mine is a
column of mercury, the head of
which is at one end of this gap in
the circuit. AS long as the mine
remains upright or roughly upright
the mercury is only slightly affect
ed. But when the pressure of an
advancing vessel coming in contact
with the mine tits it over the mer-
curry also is tilted so as to come
into contact with the other end Of
the gap in the electric circuit, the
circuit is completed and the mine
explodes.
Certain other mechanical devices
are employed to make the mines
safe as long as the mine laying YES
sci has them on board. Thus, for
instance, an extra gap in the cir
cult is provided by inserting two
brass plates, kept apart by some
substance which melts in water.
Not until the mine has been for
some time in the sea will this SUBJ
stance disappear, allowing the brass
plates to come together and so set
up the circuit completely except for
the final gap.
The operation of sweeping for
mines" depends chiefly upon the
fact that the mines are moored, or
at least have sinkers attached to
the bottom by a cable. The sweep
ing is carried ont by two ships
steaming parallel with one another
at some distance apart. with a wire
rope between them. This rope is
sunk in the sea at about the level to
reach some distance below the
mines. This rope, coming in con-
tact with the cables of the mines,
has the effect of fitting the latter
over so as to bring about the ex-
plosion.
The danger in the operation is in
the possibility Of the ships engaged
upon it striking mines themselves.
There is no danger from the explo-
sions of the mines by sweeping

EMO HEIRS RAISE GADSKI SANTA
CROP OF WILLS TO FIVE BRITISH
Contestants Say Columbia
Is Not Mentioned in 3
New Documents.

o Three more wills of Amos F. Emo
other than the contested instrument
now on file in the Surrogates Court
are now alleged TO be in existence. In
none Of these, it is said, did the tes-
tator mention Columbia University as
a beneficiary of his $4,000, 900 estate.
BY the will offered for probate Mr..
Emo left the residue of his estate to
the university, which means bequest
Of about 100000.
The trial Of the contest brought by
heirs, including Amos R. L. and Clifford
Pinchot, nephews, and Lady Antoinette
Johnston, niece, OF Mr.. Emo, is on the
calendar Of the Surrogates' Court for
Monday. During the proceedings the
additional wills will figure.
One Of the wills was found by Will
IAN ?. Emo, a brother Of the testator,
in d box al the Atlantic Safe Deposit
Company. This leaves the residuary
estate TO Mrs. Mary Z. Pinchot, a sis
ter: William p. Emo and Dr.. Henry {.
Emo, brothers, and, in the event Of their
death, their share is left 20 their heirs.
Mrs. Pinchot and Dr. Emo died before
their brother so that the shares pro-
vided for them belong 10 their children
under this will. Clifford and Amos r.
F. Pinchot and Lady Johnston are the
children Of Mrs. PinchOt, and Professor
Henry Lane Emo. Of Princeton Uniyer-
yity, is the son Of Dr.. Emo. This will
was executed in February. 1912.
Mr. Emo. who is one Of the temporary
administrators Of his brothers estate,
rs said 20 have information that two
other wills made by Amos +. Emo are
IN the possession OF Lucius II. Beers,
one Of his administrators, who was
for many years attorney for the ties
tator. One Of these Is dated January,
1914. The will offered for probate was
executed on June 10. 1915.
Mr. Beers, an alumnus Of Columbia
University, is one Of the persons who,
II is alleged in the contest, Influenced
Mr.. Emo IN leaving the bulk Of his es-
tate 20 the university.
Counsel for Mr.. Beers and William
Mitchell. who were appointed as eXecu-
tors in the last will, opposed the or
forts Of the heirs TO inspect the papers
Of the decedent.
10 is contended by the contesting
heirs that Amos F. Emo had no accu-
rate idea of the value OF his estate, and
r he had he would not have left the
residue TO Columbia.
