Torpedo Is Fired
By Shadow of Ship
Ne,o Weapon Controlled
BY PhotOeLectric Cell.

WASHINGTON. "A torpedo that
would utilize the shadow Of the ene-
my ship to blow up that vessel has
been designed by John Hays Ham,
mond Jr. Of Gloucester, Mass. This
Is revealed in a patent just awarded
here to Mr.. Hammond.
The torpedo is photoelectrically
operated. It travels deep under the
surface Of the water. turns sudden
~ upward when 1t comes in the
shadow Of the ship, and explodes
under the ships bottom.
In the top Of the torpedo is q
photoelectric cell. This is connected
to an electrical system which con-
trolls the course and the explosion
Of the torpedo. When the torpedo is
fred, natural day light filtering
through the water is focused on the
photoelectric cell and the solenoid
mechanism which controls the ex-
plosion is de-energized.
However, as soon as the torpedo
passes under the bottom Of the ship.
the light to the photoelectric cell is
cut of by the shadow of the ship.
This is noted" by the photoelectric
cell. The mechanism controlling the
course Of the torpedo automatically
changes so as to direct the torpedo
upwardly against the bottom. At the
same time the solenoid is energized
to explode the torpedo under the
ship.
To prevent premature explosions,
as when the torpedo may pass I'M
der some floating debris, there is
included a delay action unit which
makes it necessary for the photo
electric cell to be cut off from light
for an appreciable period Of time
before the torpedo will explode.
Varieties Of Tea
The difference between black and
green tea is wholly matter Of prep
aration. The green variety is what
makers call unfermented tea and
the black is fermented. Fermenta-
ton in this instance means about
the same as oxidation, the leaves
remaining in the open air for 20 to
30 hours. Certain oxidizing ferments
work chemical changes in the leaf
that make 1t black.
Mutt and JEFF Grass
According to the Country Home

is really two grasses, blue grama
and buffalo, the Mutt and jeff Of the
western plains. If he season is dry,
the tall, tough grama rudely shoves
its partner aside and takes over the
field. But when wet weather comes,
the short but subtle buffalo grass
slyly slips in and regains its hold.
These grasses are spread by SOW

acre with a manure spreader. The
hay is harvested in September.

PHIL WAS still asleep when
Eleanor opened her eyes and the
quarrel that was the last thing be-
tween them came back to her.
She slipped out of bed noiselessly
and dressed quietly. She put on the
green knitted suit Phil liked best
Of all her new things, and tied an
apron over 1t.
There were popovers and hot
chocolate and a light omelet on the
table when he finished shaving.
Eleanor stood at his elbow, her
fingers picking timidly at his
sleeve. I'm sorry, darling -. do

Sure, you did. But you got sore

patiently. "We-you and I-are
people. We aren't just somebody's
wife and somebody's husband.
We're individuals. We're not two

Phil drew in a long pull on his
cigaret thoughtfully. He said:
Somehow don't see it that way.
