I'nder theaa circuniatancea there ia but alight wonder that up till the preaent war rery littl execution haa been done with torpedoea. The Invention of th.

gyroacope, liowerer, rompieter altered mattera. A gyro-ope for afeering torailoea waa aereral time pro'j oeil, but it waa left to an Auatrian engineer named M. tlbry to invent the tnei-haniam by which the gyroacop could be mail, practicable. So perfect ia th. nK now that if a rorado lie laum'hed in a certain direction it will maintain that direction in the end of ita run.

It i thia little mt rtiuicnt which baa made lotig- bring with torpedoea practicable. Hie gyroacop. is to (he torpedo what the Hyaheel ia to watch. It conaiNta of wheel of about four and a kalj inchea dimnrter, with a henry periphery. Thia iee: run be enaaaed with mechanism at- t.ichri! to a atrong clock apring.

Tho 1 i-cl in a gimbnl frame, and on- tba frame ia a -Htnall lever which control. a tirir nir valve. Th. air valve can admit prc.aure to one aide or the other of a pifoti in a cylinder, and by snitnble rods ui lerera the action of the piston ia ted to a pair of vertical rudders, lh-foro launching the torpedo, the clock (ring i wound up by IiriuI, which action nUt. Iik th.

gyrocoe wheel in a certaiu When the torpedo ia launched a fever ia thrown over, an act which adtuita th air from the air chamber to the main cnginea. and at the anme time release the spring tnee haniatu. -Thin Ka tha gyioHCop apinning at a rery high apeed. lino having done so, releases it. so that it i- left spinning freely.

It ia only when the tor- pedo assumed the direction in which, lay iminediatcly before launching that the vertical rudders come "amidships." The 'gyro' is a delicate instrument, and ns to tit not only careiuiiy gept but Ire- iim-titly treat! lor adjustment. It la therefore madt so that it can be readily removed from the torpedo. It ia generally kpt in a little box.

'gyro buds it I i nine, in the after bod v. fo much for the torpedo and its. rue- chanisnu Let us now look at the means of launching it. AH modern Rhlpa of considerable site are. lilted with submersed torpedo tuboit in other words, launching apparatus below the water Hue.

The two best-known aya- terns are that of the British Admiralty pattern and that of Messrs. Sir. W. CJ. Armstrong, Whitworth Co.

Both aya- are kept ns cCret a possible, but it may be sold that th. principal dif- ferenco i that in the Admiralty tub. the bar or shield is run out before firing tho torpedo and run after tiring: while in the Armstrong tube the torpedo and shield go otit together, and shield returns automatically as soon as the torpedo baa gone. In th. Admiralty tube the torpedo Is ejected by compressed air that is.

tb. tube n.ay be looked vpon as a gun and th. torpcd.i as th. shot. A charge of com- presau air ia introancea and snoot out the totnedo.

In -be Armstronar tube either cordite or compressed air cau be used. All the Japanese a-hips above O.tklt) tons are fitted with the Armstrong submerged torpedo tube, and tbe Russians also em- ploy thia tule. Sm.ll v-maI. iavmiIa knat j. v.
