UNCLE HARRY EXPLAINS HOW 1ORPEDOES WORK

Fourth of July torpedo strikes stone
step or the pavement. The explosion
tears hole in the ship; the water
pours in; very often the ships boilers
explode and in few minutes she
sinks'
But how is q torpedo fred and
what makes it gothrough the water?''
inquired Joe.
1t is fred through a tube Cor big
pipe that runs from the inside of a
submarine out into the water), bv the
expanding of compressed air and it
carries compartment filed with com.
pressed air which is automatically re.
leased the instant the torpedo strikes

said Uncle Harry. "You use com.
pressed air in your bicycle tire-air

"Tell us about torpedoes, Uncle

they are useds'' asked Jimmy.

of the torpedoes that have struck ships
have been fred at shorter distance
1000 or 1900 yards. You under
stand, boys, the shorter the distance
.5the faster the torpedo is travelling when
lit strikes, and also the more accurately
it can be aimed.'
:" How fast do they travel?" asked
Jimmy
''If torpedo is fired at 1000
yard range-that is, 1000 yards from
the object it is aimed to strike, it goes
at a fate of about 80 knots an hour, "
explained Uncle Harry: "But if it is
fired at a 1,o0O yard range it goes very
much faster-anywhere from 35 to 40

"That's right about the shapes, -
