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.— Rush M. Hoag in Leslie's Weekly. no. No. 35 19 .... . r/5 a. ni. 7:fi« ft. m.

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. W. M. Winn. TWWWWWKWK. 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. You can’t make a mistake in taking If It Only Were. Little Johnny was sorely troubled one morning. Prohibitions great and small met him at every turn. It was “no’’ to this and "no” to that till at last he began to cry. angrily exclaim ing to his mother between sobB, “1 wish ‘no’ was a swear word, mamma, so you couldn’t say It”—American Boy. Naturally. "The young speeder’s car has been very much admired!" “Certainly, It has. I know a num ber of people have been struck with It."—Baltimore American. 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 lie received from Franco during the opening of one of his plays. It wns from the French author of tbo play and read: “How’s it going?" Mr. Frohman rend It after the sec ond act when It was clear the play had failed, then replied: "It Is gone.”—New York World. Hope of Improvement. “Do you think the world Is gating better?" "It ought to be." replied the mnn who worries a whole lot about his health. “There are more new medt elnes being Invented every year."— Washington Star. We accomplish more by prudence than by force.—Tacitus. Vanillin. Vanillin Is the active principle which makes vanilla lee cream so popular it occurs In the roots nf oats and the leaves and roofs of n number of plants It has been found to tie poisonous to clover, wheat, cow peas and other plants. Fortune leaves always some door open to come nt a remedy.—Cervantes, 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!” Originally the floors of churches were of clay, beaten hard.
