THE DEADLY TORPEDO

The sensational success of the submarine lends interest to the re-
markabe weapon with which it does its work of destruction-tne to
pedo. The jackies dub it the tin fish," and the Percy Scott after ITS
supporter. The modern automobile torpedo is a cgar-shaped steel object
u feet long, q inches in diameter and weighs 1000 pounds. With il
wonderful mechanism Of almost human intelligence, the projectle in
action seem almost to throo with life. 1t dives like a porpoise, steers
itself and ploughs invisibly through the water at a speed OF forty miles
N hour. The torpedo a travel a distance OF six miles, and at the end
Of its III be capable OF destroying or severely Gripping a great battle
ship.
The torpedo is divided into three main parts: First, the warhead,
or front section, which holds the explosive charge, weighing from two to
three hundred pounds; second, the air flask, or central chamber, and third,
the after body, IT tail, containing the turbine engine gyroscope, steer
ing-gear, ruddcrs and prope1ers.
One of the most ingenious and vital parts OF tine whole mechanism is
a small propeler. for preventing the premature explosion of the torpedo.
is located at the extreme point Of the nose" Of the warhead. 1t &C
compishes this by locking the firing pin. When the torpedo enters the
the prope1ers release a Sleeve" which uncovers the firing pin. This
puts it in position to strike the decorating primer and explode the charge
the instant the torpedo finds its mark.
The central section, or am-hask, occupies more than one-naf the
total length OF the torpedo. In this is stored the compressed air which,
escaping through a valve leading to the tiny turbine engine propels the
torpedo what the boiler is to the reciprocatng engine OF a steamship
Near the tal-end of the projectle is located the wonderful turbine II
CINE that operates the propeller blades. The turbine develops ABOUT 100
horsepower, with a corresponding speed of forty miles an hour. Its
initial speed is nearly a mile a minute. with an extreme range Of from
eight o ten thousand yards.
The brain of the weapon is in the tanend. 1t is a little gyroScope
that one could hold in the hand and it is as deicateiy adjusted as a
chronometer. This marvellous piece OF mechanism, when properly set
automatically controls, steers and keeps the torpedo in position during
its line OF flight. If the torpedo run afoul of its coursea and is detected
either to the right or left, the gyroscope-an almost human pilot
automatically operates a lever, throws the rudders up or down, and to
the right or left bringing the torpedo back o its proper path.
1t takes almost a thousand pieces Of steel, brass and bronze to make
up all the delicate. ingenious and automatic adjustments of the interior
mechanism of a modern torpedo-From "Battleship versus Submarine,

the south has had a smash from which it has lever recovered. The one
on the east is hidden by towers and steeples, 81 it don't count In all
the thing is disgrace to the town and the government should either
remodel it or put it out for keeps.
In this connection it might not be ut OF place to again call the

LIVE TOO FAST,
FAST TOO LITTLE

DR.. William H. Vail, a Newark N.
j., physician, is 70 years of age, but
looks and acts like a man of SO.
Last spring he walked SO miles to
attend the fiftieth anniversary of his
class at Princeton University.
He is convincing Endorsement of
a system of dieting and living which
he has adopted, and concerning which
he gave the following epigrammatic
advice before gathering of Presby-
terian ministers lately:
I'VE don't sing any more about the
fmoss-coVered bucket that hung In
| the we'll for the simple reason that
nothing has time to get moss covered
these days.
"The question on our tongue used
to be, Where will you spend eternity?'
Now it is, Where will you spend the
weekend?
The high cost of living is all a
phantom. Do you want to know how
to solve it? Buy your food dry and
add the water at home. If you want
to know what I mean, take a can of
food that you buy and boil it down,
and see how much substance you have
left. Ninety per cent of what you've
been paying for is water.
"The only time you enjoy food is
when it's in your mouth. l can't for
the life of me see why we don't want
to keep it there as long as we can.
Yet nine-tenths of us take two or
three bites at our food and then swal-
low it.
Man spends nine-tenths of his life
trying to get rich and the other one
tenth trying to get well.
Cut out all stimulants. / don't
mean merely alcohol. 1 mean pepper,
allspice, mustard and the like Throw
them in the ocean. If you want to
see the effect of pepper, put little
In your eye and then imagine that
that's how it acts on your stomach.
IF you live life as simple as you
should, you'll never have typhoid few
er.
We die too young. It's high time
we came to realize that a mule has
longer life than we do"
Supplementing DR.. Wallis advice, the
Rev. DIR. David Tully, veteran preach
er OF Sharon Hill, who is 81 years
old and still active, gave his recipe

for longevity.

for longevity.
Il was brought up on the Bible, the
shorter catechism and oatmeal, he
said.
DR.. Vail thinks that we live too fast
eat too fast and fast too little Sever
al articles Of food he put on the black
list, among them grapefruit, pepper
and mustard. Meat isn't at all neces-
sary, he said, and desserts-leave
them alone.
AS for himself, Dr. Vail eats a slice
of brown bread, some whole wheat
cereal and peaches for his breakfast
For his lunch he takes three crackers
and glass of milk. His supper is
like his breakfast.

THANKSGIVING THAN SGGlIvIIIN
MARATHON
WOodside to Have Classic
This Year.
STANDARD RULES
Six Prizes Will Be Offered for the
Contestants in Marathon
Run.

Preparations for the Fifth Annual
Marathon conducted by the Woodside
Athletic Association on Thanksgiving
Day have been somewhat delayed this
year. but are now actually under way
and Bridgeton will have the classic
again this year. The delay has been
due to the consideration given the idea
of sanctioning the event under the
government of the Amateur Athletic
Union, which was finally decided as
the proper course to make the event
what it should be, and to increase
the advertising value of the run for
Bridgeton.
To this end a mythical organization
to be known as the Athletic Fedora
tion of Bridgeton which includes the
Woodside A. A. and the Bridgeton A.
A. and any other local organizations
that should in the future desire to en-
ter such group, has secured the
sanction of the A. A. U. officials. The
Aun Will lucn UG Conducted according
to the standardized rules as laid down
by this body, and only amateurs in
good standing will be eligible to COM
pete.
Each club will this year, be permit
ted to start eight men, and the first
five of that eight to finish shall quail
fy as the members of the team which
they represent for scoring purposes.
Six prizes will be offered The first
a small silver loving cup for second
and third gold medals, for fourth sill
yer medal, and for fifth and sixth,
bronze medals. For the team prize
large silver loving cup will be pre-
sented. Later details of the run will
appear, and entry blanks will be for
warded in the next week.

SECRETARY
LAUNER DIES
Sudden Death Occurs i'm
Buffalo.
BLOWERS GRIEvE
Organization Pays High Tribute
to Memory of Its Efficient
Secretary.

The Green Bottle Blowers Ass0cf=
alton of the United States of America,
pay the following tribute to its eff
cient Secretary, lwho died on Sunday:
Secretary William Launer of the
Glass Bottle Blowers Association of
| America died suddenly of heart fail
ure at the Farmhouse Hotel, Buffalo,
New York Sunday, November 7th, at
| 10.45 p. m. Mr.. Launer had been to
| Hamburg, N. Y, on business for the
Association and was returning to
| Philadelphia. The news of his sud
den death came as a shock not only
to his family but to his many friends
in and out of the glass trade. His
genial smile, cheerful disposition and
hearty handclasp endeared him to all
those with whom he came in contact.
The Glass Bottle Blowers Associ-
alton has lost not only loyal aggres-
sive member but an honest hard work
/ ing official.
| Mr.. Launer was born in Salem, N
u in the year 1856, consequently he
| is SO years old. His first work in a
glass factory was in the employ of
the firm of Hall, Pancoast and Craven
az. Salem, serving his apprenticeship
as a glass blower.
| AIn January, 1876, he became a men,
Der of the Salem Branch No. 2, known
at that time as the Druggists Ware
Glass Blowers League or the "Old
League" as it was better known. He
lbegan at once to take an active inter-
est in all matters pertaining to the
trade and was courageous and frank
in his opinions on all questions. He
served on the Factory Committee for
years and was a member of the Exec
utlve Board. before his election to the
office of National Secretary at the
convention held in Atlantic City in
1894 and to which Office he has been
reelected each year since that time.
During his tenure of Office he has
handled millions of dollars of the As
sociation without the loss of single
cents and has conducted its affairs
along business lines with the result
that the office is kept at the highest
point of efficiency.
The sad news Of Secretary Launer's
death has inexpressibly shocked Pres
1dent Denis A. Hayes, who is in San
Francisco attending the sessions of
the convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and it will be impos-
sible for him to be present at the fun
eral. Mr.. Hayes has been associated
with Mr.. Launer for the past twenty
I1ye years at their Offices in the With
erspoon Building and strong bond
OF affection and friendship has always
existed between them; in fact har-
nsony has at all times been the rule
in the sessions of the Executive Board
the members of which feel the loss of
Secretary Launer keenly
He was a member of Glassboro
Lodge No. IS, F. G A. NJ, Glassboro
Chapter, No. 6, R. A. M, Philadelphia
Consistory A. A. S: R., Lu Lu Temple
A. A. N. o. M. S. and President of
