The »ar department is keeping very
tnuas on the subject. It is not regard
ed as desirable that any official pub
tv be sought, especially as agents
of the belligerent European powers
are ever ready to grab up any new de
vice which seems to promise use in
warfare.
It was well known in Washington,
however that the army officers of the
coouEuasioa wh.ch visited Gloucester
were enth-f:as?.c when they returned
ere. They saw Mr. Hammond put
h.* famous wireless boat, the Natalia,
-trough its puces without a single fail
ure to respond to radio control,
fitting ia his laboratory on shore.

usee of control is limited only by the j
:</««■ of the high radio station. He
a**d a five-kilowatt station. A hie
bar >skip < antes a station of from
thirty to fifty kilowatts.
Gen. E M Weaver, chief of the
oust artillery torps. said in regard To
the Hammond invention:
"If such a means of attack were
added to those we now nave we would
Tl.ec be able to attack an enemy's
skip* by mortar fire falling vertically
on the deck* o' the ships, by gunfire

To test the possibility of lmerfer
:r with the wireless control of the
Natalia the Dolphin. which has the
best radio-transmitting apparatus in
the 1'sited States nary, was sent to
Gloucester, and by breaking in with
her powerful waves attempted to cen
tralise or disarrange the message?
from the shore The experiments con
".sued many hours. Throughout ail
this time the little Natalia darted
about under perfect control, while the
Dolphin operator tried in vain to fath

would be too dose for its battleship
victim to stop a torpedo.
It is suggested that the final form
the radio-directed torpedo may take
w :!1 be that of a submarine running
a fe* feet below tbe surface or a hy
droplane traveling at immense speed
on the surface of the water.
Mr Hammond’s second important
device is the thermite shell, which be
says was banded over to tbe Germans
by a traitorous German employee of
bis and is now being used in the war
in Europe.
As Hammond's projectile flies
Through the air the composites of ther
mit* oxide of Iron and finely divided
a a minus* are brought together inside
st asfl uaite. with the production of a
Temperature of 5,400 degrees Fahren

except the electric arc.
In another compartment of the
shell, a second chemical reaction pro
duces deadly hydrocyanic gas, or prus
sic acid.
When the projectile penetrates a
battleship or a fort, a small bursting
charge cracks the shell. The prussic
acid gas prevents approach. The ther
mit produces a white hot mass of
tne'al which, showered about the spot,
will instantly set fire to anything in
flammable. or eat through a battle
ship's decks and right down into the
ocean.
A third invention of Mr. Hammond
is his curious electrical dog. which
will follow anybody who has a lantern
about the Hammond lawn at Glouces
ter in the darkness.
The interior of the dog consists of
a battery, relays and a motor. On
e.'fcer side is a selenium disk, which is
so affected by the light that it pursues
a visitor until he puts out his lantern.
Oared Them to Snoot Him.
In 1S64 Colonel Daniels of the Sev
er th Rhode Island became unpopular
with some of his command, and a
rumor spread that he would he shot at
the next engagement. He heard of it.
It v.as customary when guns had been
loaded fur some time to bare them
discharged into some convenient bank,
and Colonel Daniels took advantage of
this Marching his regiment out with
loaded rifles, he faced them toward a
suitable elevation, and. taking postion
on the top of it and in front al Them
as at dress parade, he gave the com
mands "Ready!” "Aim!" "Fire!" and
the pieces were discharged

shot Inir. with little danger of dis
covery and needless to say also, none
of them did. There were no more
•hreats of that kind in his regiment.—

Origin of War Terms.
With the exception of shrapnel,
named after its inventor, an English
colonel, there are very few war terms
now in use which have a British
origin. 'Grenadier'' is generally sup
posed to come from the French. The
word is. however, of German birth,
and originally was "grenatier," the
force owing their name to the hand
grenades with which they were armed.
The word "musket" has an Italian de
rivation— moschetto." which was re
ally a siiecies of small sparrow-hawk.
!:. ancient times and in the middle
ages the name musket was used to
designate a small mortar which threw
arrows. When gunpowder was invent
ed a small cannon was baptized
“musket.” and later the rifle of the
ordinary infantryman earned the
name, while the whole unit was called
■‘musketeers."

GOOD USE FOR A ROAD DRAG
Implement le Light. Easily Handled
and Should Be Worked Soon as
Possible After Each Rain.
There exists a prevailing opinion
in the minds of those who have used
the King road drag that the persistent
ase of this simple drag will do the
ordinary earth roads more good for
the amount of time and labor required
than any other method of working
ever proposed. Some of the best
earth roads have been made good by
the use of this simple implement. In
fact, some advocates of the drag claim
that the trustees of-many townships
could well afford to sell the heavy
road machines to a junk man and in
vest the proceeds in a number of split

log drags. Spasmodic use of the split
log or similar drag or the like use of
any road-working implement will not
make bad roads good. The drag is
light and easily handled and should be
used as soon after each rain as the
condition cf the surface will permit.
The job was quickly finished and the
results are surprising where the drag
ging is carried on throughout the year.
Possibly the most marked improve
ment from the use of the road drag
will result from the early spring drag
ging.
BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS
America New Has 6.000 Miles Mare of
Improved Highways Than France—
Total Now 31X100 Miles.
According to the Good Roads Teat
Book of the American Highways assc
ciaticn. recently issued. America now
has 6.O00 miles more of good roads
than Prance, the total for this country
now amounting to 31.0M miles.
Of this 5.O0O miles were built in ISIS
and about 6.000 in 1914. making a total
of over one-tbird of the entire mileage
of the good reads cf the country.
Xew Jersey was the pioneer state tc
provide state aid for public highways
in 1891. and Massachusetts and Con
necticut soon folk wed. but it is only
during the last ten years that the state
aid policy has been in effect to any
considerable extent.
PHASES OF ROAD PROBLEM
{ _
Those Interested in Work Will Find
Joint Congressional Committee
Report Quite Handy.
Persons interested in the good roads
problem, either from the engineering
or the legislative standpoint, will find
tb report of the joint congressional
committee on federal aid to good roads
a convenient source of information. It
not only contains the most extensive
data ever published on this subject
but contains a bibliography which
gives a list of books pamphlets and
speeches on fn phases of the good
roads problem The report is printed
*s house document 1510. Sixty-third
congress, third session, and copies may
be secured by application to members
of congress.
Do Road Work Early.
For good roads the work should be
done in the spring and early summer,
if possible Roads worked in the late
fall don't get time to settle before win
ter. consequently are rough and un
even all winter. Do the road work
early.
For Best Result*.

quire richest soils and best culture.
Of all farm work it pays best for
work done, and suffers most from
neglect.

A. Michigan gardener has been graft
ing tomatoes on egg plants and red
peppers. He began this experiment is

called the Kaiser. The Kaiser often
produces fruit weighing one and a half
to two pounds, and will yield a bushel
to the plant, on suitable soil.

twenty-eight and thirty.
Forgetting about his son, the darky
hurried home to announce his discov

Longing*.
A well-known essayist and connois
seur of New York attended recently
an artistic tea in Washington square.
Near-artists of all sorts—near-poets,
near-sculptors, near-painters and near
novelists—attended the tea. The ladies
wore djibbahs of green burlap. The
gentlemen wore sandals. The collation
was vegetarian, of course.
Looking calmly at that mass of
freaks, be said, with a smile:
"Artistic longings consist invariably,
it seems, of long hair, long teeth and
long faces—everything but long
purses, in fact.”
Two Classes.
The late Charles Frohman used to
divide Americans into two classes—
those who dine in evening dress and j
those who dine in their shirt-sleeves.
"Or. to put it better,” Mr. Froh
man would say. "the two great Ameri
can classes are, first, those who dress
'or dinner, and. second, those who '
iedress for dinner.”
The Reason.
Simpson—I wonder how it is that
nearly all the misers we read of are
old bachelors?
Mrs. Simpson < insinuatingly)—Oh.
married misers are so common that
they are not worth mentioning.
