For Many Reasons Far More Effective Than Attack by Submarine — May Be Used in the Eu ropean War. The navy department is considering the feasibility of using aeroplanes tc deliver Hying fish torpedoes as pro posed by Hear Admiral Fiske. Tc drop bombs is far more didicult tliar it would bo to start a flying torpedo for a bomb must be let loose over the ship at the same speed a which the ship is moving and that i? difficult because of the air currents and because the ship does not hold steady course and will, moreover, de fend itself with guns. Submarine: are handicapped by these and othe’ things, one beiug their slower speed Hut with the aerial torpedo, the sum* weapon as now is to be held rigid!; below the aeroplane, with its hea< pointed forward and the projectile i. to be released by a lever When i dgjps into the water it sinks to th< depth for which it has been set am shoots forward to the ship. A night attack is presumed, thoug’ a day attack can ulso be made. Th aeroplane rises to about 2,Gw feet, an* is practically invisible, though it cai see the ships by their lights and thei hulls, which show black against th water. The aviator descends in spiral: uatil he gets within 10 or 15 l'eet of th water at the side of the ship he mean to attack and at a distance of abou 1,500 yards from it. With a pull of hi: lever the torpedo is then released dropping horizontally. Up to 2,00 yards a good torpedo expert can hi a 600-foot ship every time. The ship, it is argued, cannot see the aeroplane to anticipate its attack, o; if, by good fortune, it does, the chancer of hitting the airship in its spira course are almost negligible. It de livers its torpedo so quickly that tb< work is done before defense is pos sible. If it is hit, the exchange is o one life and an aeroplane for a thou sand lives plus a ship The reductioi in the distance for delivering the tor pedo which the aeroplane will allov may result in the reduction of tin weight of the torpedo. Already tin Germans have been experimenting oi Lake Constance, successfully, it f» said, with dropping torpedoes fron Zeppelins. This suggestion of Admira Fiske approaches the subject from i new' angle, and if experiment shouli bear out the theory it is not impossibli that German and English naval arm: may use it. This account is summarized fron the statemert by Park Benjamin, whi writes as a naval expert for the Inde pendent. The tone of his article it that the suggestion is regarded as en tirely good and that our navy depart ment Is considering it with a view o. trying its practicability. Wireless on a Motor Van. A motor delivery van traveling tin London area is fitted with wirelesi telegraphic apparatus and customers orders for fresh supplies of goods an transmitted to the head offices by th! means. Thla ingenious fnethod of speeding up delivery has proved very effective and the company by which it ha. been adopted is enabled In man; cases to meet urgent demands wit! unexampled expedition. Two aerial: are flxec to the top of the van insldt which the operator works, and order: have been received at the Worshij street offices from a distance ofter miles away. "The messages are very clear, ot the whole,” said an official, “but dif ficulty is generally experienced wher the operator is working in streets where the buildings are tali. Higl structures impede the wireless waves.” Nation-Shaking Evangelism. Two hundred years ago there wai bom a man who, driven out of th« churches, brought people from tin world Into the church as few men whe have ever lived. December 16, 1714 was the birthday of George White field. Gifted naturally to a rare de gree. Including such a voice as is sel dom heurd, he developed his gifts by persistent industry, and became % preucher who shook England ant America. We are accustomed tt things on a big scale today; but Whitefleld’s record would make an ira presslon even on the twentieth cen tury. For 30 years he averaged ont and a half sermons a day. His audl ences averaged 2,000, and at timet swelled to incredible size: some dayt* at Kln^swood and Cornwall, to 10.000 at Philadelphia to 20,000, at Bostor Common to 30.000, and at Moorfleldt to 60.000.

STRATEGY OF A WIDOW By GEORGE MUNSON. “That Miss Elsie Davis is a charm lng girl and I congratulate you highly Vlr. Norton," said Mrs. Denton. "Bui what a pity that ehe seems so jealous.’ Warren Norton flushed deeply. Ht resented Airs. Denton's words, but hi knew that they were true. Elsie and her mother were summer ing at the Glen Pass hotel, and War ren Norton was spending his vacation there. That evening Mrs. Benton mad' overtures to Elsie, who had regardei her with sullen aversion from the rao ment of their introduction. However the accomplished woman of the work soon managed to thaw the heart of tin undisciplined, inexperienced girl. “Yes, Warren is a dear boy,” sh< said, "but like most men, I am afraid.’ "What do you mean by that?’ de manded Elsie, flying to arms at onei on John’s behalf. "I mean, dear, that a pretty fact would turn his head. A man’s heart may be loyal, but the best of their, cannot resist passing attraction ’’ “It is not true!” cried Elsie, turning scarlet. “Unfortunately It is true, my dear, replied the widow, laying one hano caressingly upon her arm. "It is onl; too true, and I can prove it to you.’’ “How?” demanded Elsie. “By bringing your Warren to my feet within two days,’’ Mrs. Denton an swered. "You can’t do it,” cried Elsie scorn fully. “But I will let ycu try, Mrs Benton, and, if you succeed, I wil; have nothing more to do with War ren.” The next few days were wretched ones for Elsie. True, Mrs. Benton dii not succeed within the period that shi had allotted herself, but it was evident that Warren wan strongly infatuated with her. There were angry scenes be tween the engaged couple. To Elsie’s astonishment Warren, who had always been so penitent and self-exculpatory on former occasions, now appeared brazen. "Elsie, Mrs. Benton is the sister oi John Benton in the Philippines," he said. “I have told you often how John is my best friend. We have not seen each other for years, and it ie natural that I should like hie sister. Come, be friendly with her, Elsie, and let us all be happy together.” "O, I hate her and I hate you!” ex claimed the jealous girl; and, pulling off her ring, she flung it upon the table. Elsie was not the type of girl who dominates over her mother. The elder woman had seen how things were go ing; perhaps she thought that Warren was giving Elsie a lesson, for she of fered no consolation when Elsie an nounced that the engagement was broken off and that they would start home on the morrow. Elsie did not go down to dinner that night. But afterwards a feverish de sire to see Warren again forced her to dress and go downstairs. She knew he was with that odious Benton woman, and she could not go away without tor turing herself by seeing them together. Poor Elsie reached the veranda just in time to see the couple disappearing together along the most secluded ol the many beautiful walks of the Glen Pass. They were walking slowly side by side, and it was evident they did not dream that Elsie was any where near them. At the end of the walk was a hedge of box. round which the road w'ound into a pretty little summer house. Taking her stand behind the hedge, Elsie heard the conversation. "Poor Elsie!’ said Warren in a low voice. "Poor Elsie!” said Mrs. Benton in a very meaning one, and Elsie, standing behind the hedge, set her teeth hard To be pitied was the last thing that she could endure. “I feel guilty of disloyalty to her in having permitted you to plan this, Mrs. Benton,” said Warren. "My dear boy. it is the beet thing in the world for her,” replied the elder woman. “A sharp lesson was neces sary. and as the sister of your best friend. 1 feel that it is my duty to give her that lesson.” “She thinks I am in love w ith you,” said Warreu. Mr*. Benton laughed merrily. “When iny fiance, Mr. Boyd, arrives tomorrow she will be undeceived,” she said. "Now, Warren, a word of advice. I am going to tell her that it wae all a plan of mine in order to bring her to reason and cure her absurd Jealousy. You stay there till I come back, and I shall bring her w'lth me.’ And she stepped off along another path toward the hotel, while Elsie • heard herself sob in the darkness. What a fool she had been! She saw It now, she remembered all Warren’s misery in the past, caused by her Joubts of him. She was not worthy of him. She—she— Suddenly she felt two arms about her. Very miserably she raised her head Warren stood beside her. "Elsie! You heard?” he cried. "O, what a fool 1 have been!” she aald. "What a wrotched jealous fool. I deserved this, Warren, to teach me to trust the man I love. Do you really love me, Warren?” | Warren slipped the ring on her linger again. And in the conscious ness of their now-born truHt they were I so absorbed in each other that kindly ! Mrs. Benton, approaching In the dark | ness, took a by-path back to the hotel I nstead. i (Coovrlaht. by W. a. Chapman.) Notice of Application for U.S. Patent Mining Application No. 02071)3.
