Otte torpedo, complete with head lay on a trolley in rear of each of the fixed tubes, and around these the crewel gathered.

This was an emergency measure, rendered neceesary by the fact that an ehemy shell might•very possibly cut the circuit between con- ning tower and tube, and, then the firing lieutenant crashed his hand on the firing key, to prevent things hap- pening, in which case the ball would be driven down, and the torpedo dis- charged that way. Carefully waiting the torpedo lieu- tenant glanced along his director sights. The bow of the enemy battle- ship swung into line, but still he held his fire. Then her bridge swam on, and his lips tightened. "Fire!" he yelled at the top of his voice, and the gunner slapped down his hand. Aloft, the lieutenant watched the thin trail of white bubbles; visioned the great spout of grey, flame -tinged water which sprang up alongsleite the enemy, and his heart sank within him, Below a dozen sweatingmen forced the nose of another torpedo through the •centre of the solid vol- umne of water which poured tfirough the unclosed tube into the flat, knee- high; walet-high, and, like sweetest music to their ears came the roaring cheer from the deck above -the cheer of the man at the guns for their et:int- rados below who had waited long tbat they might, too, bear their full art. • 8 le Most Everyone Uses Them Forthe Stomach This 331g Doll is 16 in- ches tan, hes Jointed lege arid arins and na- tural head, hands and feet, The Doll Car- rlago has steel frame and 'Wheels, and the seat, back and hood are made Of leather- etio.

The story of thie miniature British navy was told in London recently for the first time.

They are, to use the unimaginative phra,se of technical dia- lects, England's "experimental Bevy." The Idea of a miniature fleet to test out devices for .actual naval use was suggested to the naval authori- ties early in the war by, Sir W. White. So a laboratory tank at Teddington was tided up. A Maine of tiny craft was launched and dignified'n,av.al ex- perts began "playing" at the tank - side. The results ,overleaped expecta- tions. Many important experiments were carried out, altogether thirty- nine separate investigations having been completed since August, 1914. 'The tests cevered a broad range. The submarine menace was analyzed. at Various seaplane types andheories were tried out. Numerous"cures" for Gotha.s, which had been offered to the .Government, were teeted out in this tank. .

It had won and held by the arts of peace an enviable place in the world before the war fever seized it. It had such a "place in the sun" as few of the empires of any age has attained. But unfortunately for it, .Gerineny's "place in the sen" was exchanged for a place in the shade, because, of the vain pursuit of a mirage.
