TORPEDO MINE NEW MENACE
Weapons Released by u-Boats Now
Float When Power Is Spent and
Endanger Passing Ships.

The newest engine Of war to be in
troduced by the Germans is the ''tor-
pedo mine," according to the captain
of British merchant vessel who is
also a reserve officer in the British
navy.
According to this captain, the new
idea is just what the name implies and
is nothing more than a spent torpedo
that has missed its mark.
In the past, when torpedo was fired
at a merchant or war vessel by sub
marine and failed to strike the mark,
the explosive tube kept on its course
until its motive power died out, when it
sank. Now, however, the Germans have
perfected the torpedoes to such de-
gree that If one misses its target II
will turn over and feat when the pro-
pelfer stops becoming high explosive
miEe. The torpedo nose becomes de-
tonating cap, as well as one or two
more that are distributed over the
tube.
alike the ''periscope mine" which
made its appearance when the British
admiralty gave the order for all mer-
chantmen to attempt to sink subma-
rines by ramming them and offered a
reward for each, the new mine was
quickly discovered, and, according to
the captain, Is now carefully watched
for.
The merchant captain also had
something to say about the art of
camoufiage which is now being used
on merchant vessels to offset the sub
marines.
81 have seen vessels painted so many
different colors and in such odd ways
that to attempt to describe them would
be folly" he said. 81 don't understand
the work myself, but have seen some
evidences of ii at sea that have fooled
me prettily.
81 remember seeing one vessel in the
danger zone not long ago that seemed
to have destroyer lying beside it.
thought the captain very fortunate to
have such protection, but did not have
time to envy him because of the dam
gers that confronted me. When / got
to port the freighter came in and no.
ticed, much to my surprise. that 1t had
a full-siZed and rugged destroyer paint
ed on each side amidships."

A Novelette,.

When he came into the room where
she sat he was struck at once by her
marvellous beauty. At first she did not
observe him, but finally she glanced In
his direction.
There was something about him that
caused her to unbend from her hauteur.
She fell quickly into his vein of
merry banter. and when at last he left
she rolled her eve at him.
With that innate courtesy for which
our hero was celebrated he picked up
her glass eye and returned it to her.
