lie argued that twenty torpedo boat
destroyers could bo built for foe cost
of one llrst-class battleship, and that

miml Coulomb has scarcely a bettor
opinion of cruisers than battleships.
It is quite certain that for the same
money spent in the construction of a
few battleships we could build a large
navy of cruisers and torpedo boats, j
and ihe question* is, would they hot
prove more serviceable for coast tie-1
fen sc than a few vessels of the larger
class? The Sun. continuing its re-!
a.urks about torpedo boats, says "that
the largest ship may be sunk by one
: irpodo, such a.- a small torpedo boat
or 'destroyer' may eject from her'
'tubes/ The ordinary type of torpedo
is ;i long metallic cylinder, cigar
shaped, having at lie* front end a per-'

and in Its rear end a reservoir of
compressed air. whic h acts on Its' screw I
propi iiers to propel the whole through j

times by explosives?from a tube in
the bow. side or stern of a ship, above

A Typeiwiltor Which Prints at a Dis?
tance by Kleetrleliy.
(London Times.)
Mr. Leo Knmm's xerogr.iph is des?
cribed as a telegrahpic typewriter; In
other'jwords I: is an Instrument which
is worked from a keyboard like Unit
? a typewrite;, but which prints its
character.-' at a distant place; with
which It Is connected by a telegraphic
wire The idea of such a m itihlne I?,
pi course, not at all novel: indeed. |hc
Hughca telegraphic printer, to mention
no oih. r. has been in extensive use In
various parts of tlic world for many
years. Mr. Kamm, however, el iims to
have invented an Improved method of
maintaining .111 absolute synchronism
hWtWcen the ??ending and receiving In?
struments, which is necessary In such
.machines, and which constitutes th llr
chief (lllliculty. Ills synchronising de?
vice consists of a horizontal metal .arm.
pivoted at one end on a vertical axis.
1 ind able to swing through nearly half
11 circle under tin Influence of a small
j weight, conn, ctod to it by a chain and
' pull.y. The type wheel is mounted on
in.- ?imc axis and moves with the arm,
I Kieh instrument is furnished w ith the
j 1 in ami a weight precisely the snme
1 in every respect; and Mr. Kamm rolle?
! for Iiis synchronism on the arms of the
t\v Instruments moving exactly the
same distance in the same time. When
one of the keys Is depressed the arm
of the sanding machine is released from
Hie catch that holds it. and a current
is transmitted along the line wire,
which similarly Effects the release of
the arm in ;hc receive r.
Under the swinging end of the arm.
and disposed along ihe arc which it
traverses, is u row of spring pins, each
of which Is connected to one ?>( the
keys, and the result of depressing a
key Is to raise tip orte of these pins and
thus stop the further Bwing of the arm.
Hill in coiling into contact with this
pin, Ihe arm completes tin- circuit of
an electro-magnet in the receiver, ami
this in turn actual a an armature that
arr<sts the swing of the arm in the re?
el Iyer. Therefore, sine- hoth the arms
tire er<-hyp.?thesi moving In absolut?
unison, they must both lie stopped at
the same place, and the same letter
must he ia position for priming. The
contact of the ni'm witli the pin also
closes local circuits in l oth intichlni s,
the printing mechanism Is brought Into |
Play, the pap-r Is fed in and finally
another circuit closed which brings
back tiie arm lo :?st initial position if
hoth instruments. The who! - cycle can
then he repeated .again.
The machine is made to write either I
in column or on a continuous tap-, and
doe* net require any knowledge of
telegraphy for manipulation. Its
inventor claims that it is not liable to
get out of order, and. therefore, do s
not require th" Skilled attendant nec?
essary with other machines of its class.
That, however, l<-- a matter which pro?
bably experience in practical wo.klitp
alone can definitely decide. The spe ??!
at which messages can he sent Is de?
termined by the iime taken by th
swinging arm to I ravel from Its posi
lion i.f test to and from the raised pin
corresponding to the letter being sig?
naled, if n key >a the left-hand end
of the keyboard is hslng employed thai
time is very short, since the arm
swings from left to right; but it must
la- a considerable fraction of a second
when th, key used is at the contrary
extremity, because j!..- end of Die arm
has to traverse a total distance of a
foot or more. How vor. the most fre?
quently used symbols tire arranged nl
th,- left-hand end of th. ? keyboard, and
th.- inventor considers that an average
speed of about twenty words a minute
can be maintained.
