A Human Torpedo.
From the Youths Companion

~ ut = N-OUlIptjIliD1,
When Lieutenant Whiting. who is
Nmong the American a%viators in France,
was In command of the old submarine
Porpoise, then stationed at Manila. he
had himself shot through the torpedo
tube of his submerged craft in order Ia
determine if 1t We're possible to escape
from a trapped submarine.
When a torpedo is ready for firing. the
chief gunner opens the bow cap-the nose
of the submarine craft-and lets the sea
:ush in upon the torpedo. Then com.
pressed air is applied to the rear Of the
chamber and the torpedo is expelled into
the water.
Lieutenant Writings men. says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, were almost
1T the point OF mutiny when they heard
Of his plan. but they dared not disobey
his commands.
when 1 say Ready close the tube,

The crew slammed the inner plate shut,

Instant there was a swirling wash OF
water and then the whlstling explosion of
the compressed air.
Inside the boat the men knew that the
lieutenant a been blown out into the
tmbrace OF the ocean. Quickly they
opened the ballast tanks and expelled the
water; that made It POSSIBLE for the light
med vessel to rise to the surface. They
July expected the search for their In

that they might at least find his body.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
HOUSE NEAR HURLOCK
Home of Mr.. Guy Trice Set on Fire
And Destroyed Two Children
Shocked = Much Other Damage
Done.

The storm which arose yesterday
evening about eight o'clock was very
severe in the upper portion of the
county, especially around Hurlock.
where two children received shock,
a house was burned, horse killed,
and several cattle, besides the dam
age done to growing crops.
Lightning struck the home of Mr..
Guy Trice, about two miles from
Hurlock, and set fire to the house,
which was completely destroyed; two
small children of Mr. and Mrs. Trice
were shocked by the bolt which
struck the house, but were not seri-
ously injured. Mr. Trice's loss is es-
timated as about $4,000.
Mr.. Gerry Christopher had horse
killed by the lightning, while Mr..
Joseph Lord is reported to have had
several cattle killed Growing corn
was blown down to some extent by
the wind, but the damage to crops
is not believed to be heavy.
