Ground mines. with detached circuit

closers, are possibly the most formidable of all forms of submarine defence. Their

usual form is a cylindrical case, generally charged with some tive hundred poun s of ncotton or dynamite.

lghere the water is too deep,la.rge buoy-

ant mines are used. They are securely an- chored by dead-weight sinkers, and _so cannot shift their positions. Tlieyrequire to be very caiefully laid down, _ for, as_ an authority puts it, “it is a serious thing _ when mines walk about with their sink- 1 ers and take up new positions which they are not intended to occupy.'

of all the problems of harbor defence to ‘ arrange a mine system that will absolute- ly stop an e.uemy's vessel at any time and in all weathers, and yet not interferewvith ~ the passage of friendly vessels. Mhies are ,really at their best in absolutely closing up comparatively narrow water- ways' to all traiiicr _ '

Submarine mines' are usually placed

chequer-wise in rows and groups at vary-

the mined area is controlled partly from one side and partly from the other. _

The firing room of a mine station is an

electrical maze of mystery. Al_l the cables from the mines are brought in, and the ‘end of eachwire islabelled and separately connected with the firing key.

The one essential defence is se_crecy,and

that is why in this article certain inform-

ation must be with-held. It is enough

Prof. Robertson Docs _Not Agree _Witli Rfooscvclij

When lic Says Exposition is a Fake. -

Prof. Bobertson, who hasjust returned l

from Paris, does not agree with the Roose- velt characterization of the Exposition as °‘the greatest fake of thecentury." “Of’oourse,” Mr. Robertson says, “inter- national exhibitions have lost much of their novelty, and the Paris Exposition does not differ toany extent from the Chicago Fair. There is no doubt, too, that the educational effect of an inter- national exposition is less than it used to bc, as, owing to the more rapid means of transportation, and the improved cable and telegraph service, the 'merchants of

Nevertheless. the "Parisi Exposition offers splendid opportunities for advertising' fthe re-' sources of a country, and of this _Canada is taking full advantage. Ai great, enquiries are made daily as to Canadian

gium and other countries.” son thinks that Mr. Tarte is serving Can- ada well in showing a. courteous regard for thelfrench people and French senti- iiient, ilaiiart. 'altogether -from the mere questionof sentiment. It is a good policy

for`Cana.da to be on good terms with the french, because they will exert an im- portant influence in determining_ the number of awards to be given. More- over, in endeavoring to soften and dissi-' pate _ the acrimonious feeling which seems to have _existed between France and England for ' some time Ipast, Mr. Tarte is really doing a service to imperial interests. _ _ i It is learned that, while in England - Professor Robertson, who ‘has beenen- trusted with the carrying outof Sir WH.
