the House OF Commons that Sir Percy
Lake had been appointed to succeed
John Eccles Nixon to this command
1t is said that i'll health has compelled

CAN LAUGH AT TORPED0ES
PecullarIy-constructed Ship That Has

Monitors OF very queer sort were
introduced not long ago at the Darda-

inch rifles. Just below the surface OF
the water the sides OF the monitor
bulge out about ten feet and then
curve down. This peculiar hull cor
struction accounts for the clumsy
movements OF the vessel. but II is said
