Alany European 'battleships are already equipped with apparatus for Us reception , filling and maneuvering. Its purpose so fir , however , has merely been to extend the lookout's horizon and detect the approach ot a distant enemy , but henceforth the balloon enters on a mew role , that of dcfcnd- Inc the navies of the world from the In- utdlous attacks ot submarine vessels * by ex tending the field of view beneath the eurtaco or the ocean , The story of the changes In naval material which have resulted la the adoption of the balloon as na adjunct to tbo war ship la both Interesting nnd Instructive. Ever r ce etcam and Iron accomplished such a radical change In , modern nivles , gradually trans forming the old thrce-dccken ? of Nelson's day Into the terrible twenty-knot battle ships of our times , the polo aim of naval Inventors and engineers has been to dovlso successive ways and means of destroying the product of their own skill and Ingenuity. Flret came , the torpedo , a terrible weapon , ' oirrlccl by the warship itself to destroy Its fellow , speedily followed by the torpedo boat , the eolo mission ot which was to endeavor to steal unporcelved within close range of the battleship , and qulotly discharge a "whlto- liead" at Its vitals. To effect this purpose , the smaller boat's speed hod necessarily tote t/o Increased , or , In other words , moro powc-r- lul engines had to 'bo built within a much smaller compass ' Now , In n.sval affairs , OB In nature , the theory of evolution cicma to hold good , so the necessary sequence to a torpedo boat waa the catcher or destroyer of torpedo boats , larger acil stouter than thcao latter vossoU , but posse&ilig the c-pped of nn expreas train , and an arnumcnt of light , quick ilrtag guns ot sulllclcnt power toarrant the cognomen , 'Mestrojer.

Both officers end men bejran to ask themselves : "How can we light an enemy that we can nellj'ior ' FPO nor hear , tbtit can approach us xjndei- water In broad daylight and destroy the ship at any moment ? " The solution ot the riddle seemed Impossible , yet there were some who philosophically redecteJ that this last danger would without a doubt be met and prepared for as many others had been before anj , as events showed , 'they were right , as philoso phers ahvays arc , or claim to be. Already , before the new enemy Is fairly equipped for Ijattle , Iti supposed Invulnerability Is dis counted , Its detection assured and Its prcten- Blcns ridiculed as preposterous. It remained for a Fienchman to discover Iho means by which this submarine prodigy Is to bo defied , and his plan consists simply of attaching a balloon to the war ship , from whoso eminence It has been proved , by the experiments of the French government , that the movements of a submarine vessel can b now , himself deprived of vision , but re joicing In the knowledge of his unconscious adversary's position and capable ot making his way toward It without mistake , he can proceed onward and discharge a torpedo at the sleeping giant , utterly demolishing atone ono stroke the stoutest battleship that over waved her ensign to the breeze. There Is but ono chance ot failure , a sudden change In the battleship's course or speed after the mirror has 'been drawn In , which change would not only defeat the meditated1 at tack , but would also expose the submarine vessel to retaliation It It should come to the surface to search for Its lost adversary. The French government has acted on the well known and urxlonlablo fact that from the car ot a balloon It la Impossible to see ob jects under water , even at a considerable depth , and within a largo area.

Furthermore , It Is claimed that It will bo practicable to shell the submarine- vessel , with a vertical plung ing lire , from 'the ' sain , and 'though the jilan sounds rli'lculnus ' , yet some measure of success might no doubt rcnult , as the boat cannot bo at any great depth , since it la aiming for I4io body of the Ironclad , and the plunging fire will ct bo greatly dellected through striking the water vertically. The effect of one luclty lilt at a submarine boat can easily bo appreciated the slightest leak and the unfortunate boat goes plunging down , down to the uttermost depths , while the Imprisoned crew , like so many rats caugnfc in a. trap , knowing that escape Is Im possible , see themselves doomed to a horrible cloath , slowly asphyxiated , the very thought of which drives a shudder through the frame. Remarkable Indeed has this contest been between the ironclad and , the 'torpedo beat lemnrlcablo from many points of view , but more especially from that of the contrasts iiffordcd by t'.ie methods of fighting adoptoJ by 'the two adversaries. 'At night the torpedo boa't puts out Its fires and seeks to become Invisible. The Ironclad 'immediately sweeps the ocean far and near with Its powerful sfarchllghtH. turning ) night Into day. The torpedo boat treks 'to approach In silence , and Is equipped with nolscletii engine * , the Iron clad , on the other hand , bristles from the water's level to thoicrcw's new. with Hg5t guns , which In a. conflict will hirk meat 'in ' fernally. The torpedo boat again strains every nut and bolt to Increase Its speed ; the Ironclad , on the contrary , Is surrroundod with hugo ponderous Eteel torpedo iieti , which effectually bar progress , speedy or otherwise , AH a last resort the tcrpeilo boat has determined to travel below the surface , to olnU out of sight , but in vain , for the Iron clad , pressing 'tho ' balloon Into Its service us a detective , laughs contemptuously at the endeavors of 'Its puny opponent 'to ' cffc-ct benoatu the surface what It had found Im possible to do hccifitly and abovebeard. .

A clash bo- twccn thorn Eoon . came. They had a ba\ago qiuriel at their boarding house at dinner.
