Where the Great Charge of Guncot
ton Is Carried and How It la Ex
ploded— Speed With Which These
Tubes of Terror Are Propelled.
There Is a missile about seventeen
feet long, cylindrical in shape and
eighteen Inches in diameter, that ion
tains within the small spare of its
head the power to destroy thousands
of lives and sink the greatest of ships.
That missile is the torpedo. Such is
the weapon of the submarine.
In times of peace, its exercise head
filled with water, the torpedo Is harm
less enough. But in the tube of u sub
marine, ready for notion, its bronze
war head containing about 200 pounds
of guncotton, it becomes the most fear
ed and most destructive weapon in na
val warfare.
in Europe the Whitehead torpedo Is
almost universally used. Invented by
au Austrian, Britain quickly adopted
it for her own and tile largest factory
is now at Weymouth. England.
The United States has also been an
extensive user of tlie Whltehoad tor
pedo, obtaining the right to manu
facture it at the torpedo station In
Newport, It. I., We are, however,
abandoning the manufacture of the
Whitehead in favor of tile Bliss-
Leavitt, uu American torpedo which Is
rapidly developing into the best torpedo
in the world.
So that you may appreciate the mer
its of each and understand the various
functions of these torpedoes, I will
briefly describe them.
Tori>edoes nre divided Into three prin
cipal parts, the head, the air flask and
the afterbody. The war bead is made
of bronze and carries a charge of aliout
200 pounds of guncotton. There is fit
ted into the war bead a small mechan
ism called the war nose, the function
of which is to fire the guncotton charge
when the torpedo strikes the object.
The war nose has generally three or
four arms, which nid the torpedo In
cutting through nets or tire the charge
In ease the torpedo should strike a
glancing blow. In times of peace steel
exercise heads are carried for the pur
pose of practice and. ns they nre filled
with water, are entirely harmless.
The head is fitted by screws to the
air flask, a hollow cylindrical tube
about eleven feet long and used for
storing compressed air, the motive
[tower of the torpedo. Every ship and
destroyer carries machines for com
pressing air, but submarines usually
have their flasks charged alongside a
parent ship or at a base.
The flasks nre charged to about. 2,100
pounds pressure per square Inch, and
this is reduced by a valve to on engine
working pressure of about 500 pounds,
depending, of course, upon the speed.
In order to get the greatest possible
range with the limited supply of com
pressed air. the air after being reduced
to a given pressure is superheuted to
give greater expansion and consequent
ly greater s|>ecd.
The afterbody of a torpedo contains
the working mechanism—engines, gy
roscopic steering apparatus and the at
taclied engines which control the rud
ders. All these are of very delicate
adjustment, and in order to have effl
clent torpedo men the navy department
maintains a school at the torpedo stn
tlon in Narrngunsett bay.
Torpedoes can be adjusted before
firing to run any desired number of
yards from 100 to 4.000, and in oar lat
est Bllss-Lenvltt torpedoes a range of
10,000 yards has been attained. Tin
speed of the torpedo depends on the
distance It Is to run. The Whitehead
torpedo runs 27 knots per hour for
4,000 yards and 40 knots per hour for
the 1.000 yard setting. Our submarines
are being supplied with a Bliss-I.eavitt
torpedo cnpnble of running 7.000 yards
at about 35 knots an hour.
The torpedo can also he adjusted pre
vlous to firing to run ut any desired
depth beneath the surface of the wa
ter. The armor belt of most battle
ships extends about six or eight feet
below the water line, and the torpedoes
nre generally adjusted to run at a
depth which would strike the enemy
ship Just below the armor belt.
Before a torpedo is placed completely
In its tube all adjustments are made so
that it will run .-is desired. The torpedo
is expelled from the tube by corn-
pressed air, and ns it [Misses out a
"starting lever” Is thrown back, which
allows the compressed aJr wittiin the
air flask to pafcs through the valves, re
ducing it to the engine working pres
sure and then to the engines.
The torpedo now takes full control
of itself and runs at the desired depth,
speed njul distance to the target.—

The Investigations of recent years
have disclosed the relations of Insects
to malaria, yellow fever, bubonic
plngue and sleeping sickness. The
striking results already demonstrated
tn respect to the activity of mosqui
toes. fleas, bedbugs vail houseflies In
evitably raises the question ns to the
possible significance of other species of
insects which may tic less abundant,
but whose contact with man may be
occasional or confined to restricted to-
entitles. The group includes cock
roaches. nuts and bees.
“That an Insect which will devour
any sufficiently soft substance, from
human foods to glue, grease and water
colors and which will live by prefer
ence in the cracks of the floors and
walls of houses, bakeries, restaurants,
sugar refineries and tanneries, where
their bodies come into contact with the
tilth and refuse that necessarily accu
mulate in such places, should carry a
host of germs about on and in their
bodies and lie able to infect our foods
Is certainly not surprising,” says the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
latlou. "Yet this is the habit of life
of the omnivorous cockroach. Roaches
propnbly also feed on tuberculous spu
tum and disseminate the bacilli as
eadily ns the housefly.
"Ants, which are often abundant In
houses and are readily disseminated
by commerce, sometimes become a pest
to the housewife, particularly when
they gbt Into the stores of food. They
have not. escaped suspicion ns dissemi
nators of pathogenic micro-organisms.
Wheeler points out that it thus be
comes possible for ants to spread dis
ease hi different ways.
Finally the bees, lauded for ceutu-
rles by poet and prose writer alike,
bnve uot escaped the accusation of sus
picion. Wheeler has observed the
stinging bees visit collections of gar
bage In the ennui zone, presumably
gathering foreign substances, which
they knead Into the cerumen cells In
which they store honey eagerly col
lected for food by tbo natives In many
pnrts of tropical America. According
to Wheeler, there are records of intes
tinal disorders or even death following
the eating of such honey. The sugges
tion of possible contamination with
disease germs collected by filthy In
sects is plain."
Tuning a Bell.
No mutter how great may bo the care
taken in making the mold, a bell has to
be tuned before it will ring a clear,
true note. As a matter of fact every
bell sounds live notes, nil of which
must blond together harmoniously. If
one Is the least hit out the tone will be
spoiled. The first of these notes is pro
duced h.v the vibrations at the mouth
of the bell, the second by the vlbru
tlons a little higher up, the third still
higher up. and so on to the fifth, which
is produced quite near the top As the
character of tile sound which rings de
pends upon the thickness of the metal,
it Is possible, by taking thin shavings
from various places in the inside of the
bell, to alter the live notes until they
ure all In harmony.
In Memory of R. M. North.
Richard M. North was born in Cowe
ta county, Ga., June 27, 1852; died in
Atlanta June 22, 1915, after un illness
of many months, which he bore with
Christian resignation. Married Miss
Dollie Bridges in Senoia, Ga., Fell. 12,
1874, to whom were horn six children,
of whom three survive, John T., Em
mett L., and Roy M. North, nil of At
lanta. He is survived a,so by his widow
and a sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Reid, of Se-
noin, am! a half-brother, Henry Hunt,
of Greenville, Ga.
Blessed with religious parents, who
gave him careful training, he passed
childhood and youth in morality. His
mother said Dirk had always been u
good boy, and given no anxiety nor
trouble. One of his early associates wit
nessed his freedom from the ordinary
faults of boys. At the ago of 18 ho had
a bright and dear conversion, so dis
tinct that he easily located the place
and time. Of this glorious ev> nt he had
no doubt. From that period until the
day of his departure lie was a devoted
member of the Methodist church,
South. He was a man of prayer mid
biblo study. Through life he main
tained family devotions. To do good
among men was the aim of his life,
giving much time and thought to Sun
day-school and temperance work; many
years a teacher and superintendent.
He exhibited more tliun ordinary gifts
in his application of the subjects. He
chose children for objects of instruc
tion, impressing them with the impor
tance of early piety and with a prepa
ration for life and eternity by giving
themselves to God. For such work he
had few superiors, being pre-eminently
Sunday-school inun, giving it up re
luctantly after a service of more than
forty j ears.
On my friquent visits he conversed
freely concerning his approaching dis
solution, professing unwavering confi
dence in the Savior and his acceptance
with God, and a bright home awaiting
him in heaven. He passed out of life
through the valley of great suffering,
hut always with uncomplaining resigna-
ion to the divine will. FirBt hia Sa
vior, then his much-beloved companion
in life, and their children, and then the
multitude he taught the blessed gospel,
he will want to see in heaven.
Let us all try to be saved.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardtti is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.

Old Tim* Cider Drinkers.
A century or so ago enormous quan
tities of cider were consumed in Eng
land, more particularly In the elder
districts, where the drink Is still popu
lar. In his Cambridge reminiscences
Henry Gunning says that In 1788.
when he was n tutor tn Herefordshire,
he witnessed some extraordinary feats
In cider drinking. Farm laborers were
allowed to drink as much ns they liked,
and It was not unusual "for a man to
put Ills lips to a wooden bottle contain
ing four quarts and not remove them
until he had emptied it." — Loudon
Spectator.
Caps of Good Hope.
In 1187 Bartholomew Diaz sailed far
enough south along the western coast
of Africa not only to descry but to don
hip the cape of Storms, ns It was then
called, nnd as the coast was ascertain
ed to run toward the northeast the
prospect of success In the direction of
India seemed now so clear that the
Portuguese monarch renamed the cape
"Cabo de Boa Esperanza.” or Cape of
Good Hope. The “good hope" was rcnl
Ized In 1498 by Vasco da Gama, who,
doubling the southernmost point of
Africa, sailed on to Calicut, thus open
lng up the long dreumed of route to
India.
It Wasn’t Going.
Sir James Barrie tells of Charles
Froliman’s reply to a cable message

opening of one of his plays. It wns
from the French author of tbo play

“How’s it going?"
Mr. Frohman rend It after the sec

had failed, then replied:
"It Is gone.”—New York World.

Incorporating Farm Communities.
The Progressive Farmer.
Thomas Jefferson declared that bh
long a« he had breath in his body he
would fight for two things—first, edu
cation; second, provision for organizing
rural communities—“thesub division of
the counties into waidB," as he put it.
H'ib idea was to organize oil over Amer
ica rural communities about six miles
square into forceful, capable rural de
mocracy-republics, corresponding in
size somewhat to our present school
districts, and each having genuine local
self-government, probably in the form
of a board of commissioners, corres
ponding to a board of county commis
sioners or the board of aldermen in a
town, meeting at stated intervals, and
giving farming people the privileges,
just as townspeople have had the privi
leges, of local self-government.
It lias now been nearly u hundred
years since Jifferson proclaimed the
imperative need for thus giving farm
ing neighborhoods (1) the definite
boundaries, and (2) the definite govern
mental machinery, bolh of which are
necessary for proper development; but
the bill introduced into the recent
North Carolina Legislature for incor
porating the Ingold farm community in
Sampson county represents perhaps the
first serious attempt in this generation
to give Jefferson’s ideas di finite appli
cation and enforcement.
If all the farmers of the United States
were to take the surplus of their yearly
production—grain, cotton, flour, meal
hides and skins, wool, sugar, meats
and so on—represented in the annual
exports of the country, and make
bonfire of it, the world would stand ap
palled at such an exhibition. The ag
gregate value of such exportB annually
is $5,000,000,000, a sum that corres
ponds to the amonnt of u war loan au
thorized by a single belligerent fcuro-
pean nation. It is one of the many re
markable things connected with war
that the drain it imposed upon industry
is concealed largely from those who
a inner or later must make good the
waste.
Don’t call your mother “old woman.”
We often hear that from young men.
Stop and think how it sounds. “Old
lady” is had enough, hut the "old wo
man” applied to her who gave you life
and nursed your infancy, is rude and
unkind. Once it was “Mother, I’m
hungry; mother, mend my jacket; moth
er, put up my dinner,” and many such
things; and mother would spread the
bread with butter and stow away the
luncheon with her heart brimming with
affection for you. Now, (-be is the “old
woman!”

What About the Potash Shortage?

thii lino divides the HHudy coastal plain

general way, may he sa ; d to divide the 1

are not. In other words, for cotton, j
corn ond oats potash us a rule has been
profitable to the south and east of this
line; while north and west of it, in some
cases, it may Hlightly increase yields,
we are fairly certain from all experi- |
merit station evidence that leaving it \
out entirely will not seriously curtail
production. In other words, the corn,
cotton and oat farmer in the Piedmont j
sections of the Carolinas and Georgia,
in norihern and western Alabama, and
all Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas, need do no great
amount of worrying, regardless of how
high potush fertilizers rnay he.
