TORPEDO
Off
Lieutenant-Commander Clelland Da
Vis, United States Navy, has devjsed a
torpedo gun capable of tearing holes in
the best armored war-ship afloat. Not
more than a score of persons have evet
seen tho Davis torpedo gun In action,
and not one-third of that number could
describe it If they would. It Is one of
the secrets of the Navy Department
that must be kept a secret to maintain
its value. Dut enough is known to
prove that the Davis invention Is the
greatest advance in tho art ofl hitting
the enemy hardest since Ericsson set
his ''Yankee cheese box on a plank"
and cleared the' sea of many times Us
weight in ironclads.
While the invention oJ Commander
Davis is called a gun, it is In reality
an improved torpedo. Torpedoes sucn
as those in general use detonate when
they strike the exterior of a Bhlp's hull,
nnd lose much of their effectiveness
through the escape of gases. The Da
vis torpedo is flred from an ordinary
torpedo- tube, operates by compressed
air, and has an effective range of at
least a mile. Like the torpedo pro
per, It becomes destructive Nwhen if
strikes an obstruction, either the side
of a battleship or a vessel's torpedo
netttlng; but, unlike the common tor
pedo, It does not Itself detonate. Im
mediately on Impact a high explosive
Is set off, which discharges a projec
tile through the hull of the ship. This
projectile contains another charge of
explosive with ti time fuse attached
which is set working at the moment of
the original impact. The projectile Is
hurled through the armor plate of tho
target and explodes inside tho hull
with a destructive force sufficient to
sink the finest fighting craft afloat.
Much stress is laid upon the fact that
netting such as is used to protect Eng
lish battleships against 'torpedo attack
has no effect against, the Davis torpedo
gun.
In actual trial at Washington, the
Davis torpedo gun recently hurled a
projectile through seven inches of ar
mor plate, then through ten feet of
coal, and again through seven Inches of
armor on the other side. As the pro
jectllo Itself was not charged with ex
plosive, tho amouiit of destructive
force that would have followed was not
demonstrated at that test, but the ex
perts have a way of calculating these
details that leaves little to the imagin
ation. "There Is not a battleship afloat that
can live ten minutes after it is hit
with that projectile," exclaimed one of
the men who saw the lest; and there
was no one present to disagree with
him.
A more recent test held In Boston
Harbor showed equally surprising re
sults. A target tank had been con
structed, stronger than a section of
a battleship, of three-quarter-Inch Iron
with three interior bulkheads. This
tank was formerly the property of the
Standard Oil Company. ,It was bal
lasted with forty tons of scrap iron
and submerged 11 1-2 feet. The pro
jectile was driven clear into the cen
tre of the tank, which sank In fifteen
seconds, and tho torpedo guni was

RHEUMATISM.
, So little confidence has tho averago
man in the various cures for rheuma
tism that ho often suffers for years
without making any effort to find re
lief. Ho then finds that lt has become
chronic. This is a mistake, as tho
pain can always be relieved, and in
most cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times Its cost. It makes
