SOWING MINES
 INTHE SEA
How These Ship Destroyers Are
 Laid and Anchored

Mine laying and mine sweeping are two important subordinate functions n modern navy, and both of these occupations are fraught with danger to those engaged in them.
 A mine is really metal globe con taining any thing from POO pounds to 290 pounds of trinitroluene, or T. N. T. an extremely powerful high explosive, caluculated to make things very un- pleasant for any ship that runs against one of the little horns on top of the mine.
 Before the mine is put into the sea the globe squats, as one might say be- tween four metal uprights upon a round, flat weight, to which it is at- tached by short length of wire rope. the greater part of which Is coiled round a drum inside the weight.
 When the mine is put into the water the whole contrivance sinks at once 10 the bottom. AS soon as 1t touches ground the bump releases a little catch, which sets all sorts of wheels revolving, with the result that the four uprights fall outward, they grip the sea bed, and the contrivance is an chored. Then the globe begins to rise while the rope unwinds until it has reached a fixed length.
 Thereafter woe betide the unfortun- ate ship that runs upon it.-London Chronicle.
