NEW WAR VESSEL UNCANNY
John Hays Hammond, Jr., Operates
Coast Defense Boat by
Wireless.

The most uncanny vessel afoat in
American waters is anchored in the
cove at West Gloucester, Mass. The
only craft TO be seen, 1t is the new
coast-defense boat invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr. You feel that it
is uncanny when you look at 1t af1oat
in the little harbor and realize that
without a soul on board it can never
theless be directed in any direction.
and when it is in line with an enemy
ship it can fire a broadside as effec-
lively as a big man-of-war with a full
crew and complement of trained gun
ners.
The wireless is the explanation.
From the coast Mr.. Hammond can
start the motor on the boat, set the
steering gear as he likes, and then
train the guns on any desired target,
It is just another of the marvels which
modern warfare has brought into be-
ing.
AS to it's pracdcability, the inventor
is modest but positive.
''It's all right for coast-defense work, ~
AS says anu IL - comparatively 81
simple that one a week can be turned
out by a shipbuilder without difficulty,
In the event Of a big order, the parts
could be standardized and made in
wholesale lots, so that the output
could be greatly increased"
OF course Hr. Hammond is not tell
ing the details of this new invention
but the boat is ready for service, and
from the window of his laboratory in
West Gloucester the inventor can IOOk
out on the little harbOr and keep an
eye on his new craft, which may play
a part in the world war if the United
States becomes involved in it.

First Milling Process.

The conversion of wheat into flour
was one of the earliest developments of
civilization, and even the primitive
races in the dawn of history submit
ted the grain to a coarse pounding be-
tween stones. Perhaps the oldest flour
mills" in existence are the rude stones
found among the remains of the an
cient lake dwellings in Switzerland. By
mortar and pestle arrangement the
wheat was reduced to a coarse meal.
Crude as this method was, it contained
the germ of the modern flour mill.
