1t is proposed to raise legion for
our armies abroad to be composed or
members of races which have been
subjugated by either Germany or
Russia. The legion is to be raised
by volunteer enlistment; and the
idea is an excellent one. But we
cannot help recalling that when
Theodore Roosevelt offered to raise
a division of volunteer troops for foc-
eign service at the outbreak of the
war he was sternly told to go way
back and sit down.

INVENTS MINE TO TO
 RUN ZIG-ZAG LINE
(Popular Science)

A mine which travels under water in a igzag fashion, somewhat like a drunken man on the sidewalk, and which therefore makes a terrible nuis- ance of itself, has been invented by a
 foreign officer, noted authority on mines and explosives who is cooper ating with the United States govern ment. The mine consists of two parts fastened together. but separated by a wall. One of the chambers, that in
 front, contains the explosive charge and has at its forward end the contact trigger which explodes the charge when it hits the object for which it is intended. The other compartment con- tains the motor and a mechanism which alternately drives first one, then tle other of the two propellers. thereby giving to the mine a zig gag course. but ending in the general direction of the objective point, while crossing and recrossing the medial line at oblique angles. It is the theory of the inve ntor

that by this zig-zag motion the chances of the mines hitting the ob- jective are greatly increased. A weighted keel maintains the mine in the desired depth under the surface and also prevents it's rolling. As it ma, sometimes be desirable to drive the mine at different oepth, the keel is removable and may be supplanted by a heavier or lighter keel or fin, as the case may require.
 Any kind of explosive may be used in this mine, but the inventor favors T. N. T., wet gun cotton ordynacite. and also advocates the additional use of mononitro- -napthalene which, when the mine is exploded, gives off a dense black smoke, which will envelop the vessel struck and prevent signaling, repairs or rescue.
 As the presence of such a mine in the water constitutes constant dan ger to shipping. provision is made to cause it to sink after predetermined period. A timing mechanism opens a valve in the rear end of the mine, all lowing the water to enter. The weight of the water causes the unexploded mine to sink to the bottom, preventing accidental discharge. To propel the mine, each propeller may have its own motor, and the mo- | tors work alternately, or there may be but a single motor, the power of which is applied alternately to the pro pellers by the oscillating gear or oth- erwise. The invention permits of many
 nonessential variations.
