BRITISH TARGET
MOVED BY
RADIO
By International Jieat Service
GLASGOW, Nov. 2. —A former
giant battleship, a scarred and bat
tered ve‘eran, which like a ghost
ship, ridjS the waves without a
crew, and is steered by unseen
hands, is now the target of the
British Atlantic Fleet.
She was once the Centurion, the
pride of the Grand Fleet in time of
war, and sistership of the Auda
cious which was sunk by a mine.
Now, a shattered, dismantled rem
nant of her former glory, she car
ries within her heavily armored in
terior marvelous apparatus which
is the most guarded secret of the
British admiralty.
\ Badly Battered
Gunless and turretless, and her
fruperstructure smashed to smith
ereens, Centurion has already under
gone a heavy mauling from the
guns of the wardships. Nevertheless,
all th* damage has been superfi
cial and her remarkable qualities
remain unimpaired.
■ She has a crew of about 250 offi
cers and men, but when she puts
to sea to fulfill her functions as a
target her complement is disem- 1
barked and she comess under the
control of the destroyer Shikari.
The latter vessel, during gunnery
exercises, steams about a mile
astern, and 2by means of wireless
waves determines the movements of ;
Centurion.
The signals from the destroyer
are transmitted by numbered dials
like those used for automatic tele
phones. These are received by
various little aerials scattered about
Centurion, which automatically re
peat back to show that each signal
has been received.
All Automatic
The Centurion can be made tQ
start her engines, to increase .or de
crease speed, to stop or go astern,
to altar course through any num
ber of degrees required, to emit
smoke to shield herself when under
heavy punishment, and generally
behave as though she had all her
officers and men aboard.
So uncannily does Centurion re
, spond to her signals that it is dif
ficult to realize that she does not
carry a soul, and immense possi
bilities are opened up by this amaz
ing development in naval science.
One member of the crew, how
ever refuses to desert the ship un
der the heaviest bombardment. This
is the ship’s cat, she always carries
on. unruffled, amid the tumult of
battle,

A glimpse of the drama of cruelty
and death that goes on continually
underneath the surface of many a
smooth, green lawn, says the Path
finder, is given by the discoveries of
Dr. Degerbol, a Danish naturalist,
wno has been studying the food-stor
age habits of the common mole. As
these animals burrow along just
beneath the surface of the ground
they encounter many earthworms. I
The moles eat most of thepe worms.
Undoubtedly it is the demre to ob
tain such food that causes the mole
to tunnel through the ground.
But, according to Dr. E. E. Free, a
mole sometimes finds more worms
than his appetite will take care of.
He then digs a side passage three or
four inches' long, leading from the
main tunnel. In this convenient
"cupboard” he deposits the unwanted
worms for use later when hunting
Is not so good. The captives are
alive, as otherwise their flesh would
•poll.
However, a whole and active worm
thus stored in an earthen-walled cup
board would not wait for his captor
to come back. The worm would sim
ply burrow into the earth and es
cape. Th* moles know this perfectly
weU, so they resort to the simple ex
pdeieht of biting off or crushing the
first few segments of the worms,
thus rendering the creatures mouth
jess and brainless and destroying
the sharp, plow-like nose by which
they force themselves through the
■oil, The crippled worms may live
for days and keep their flesh edible,
but they cannot escape.
