` The navigable torpedo is a very modern Weapon of odeuce in naval-_ warfare, says an exchange. Its lrst test was at Wei haiwei in 1895, when theilapanese sank' three Chinese battleships by its nse. Already several :net Raman battleship: have been put out at action in the present war by Japanese torpedoes, and the naval experts of all nations are beginning to ex- press the belle! that the torpedo ia likely to bring about very _important changes in naval construction. The weapon used by Japan is the Whitehead navigable lorpedp. i Il is from fourteen io lllteen test long,

about eighteen inches in diameter, and’

looks not unlike a sturgeon in its passage through the water. The explosive charge

il carried in a section ai: the nose ot the torpedo. It consists of guncotton, which

is always kept wet to prevent accident.:
