TORPEDO LESSONS OF RUSSO. JAPANESE WAR.

At the Royal United Service Institution- last month Burn Roenne read a paper en "Protection for Warships against Torpedoes, Mines, and Under-water Hits by Shells."* Admiral the Hon. Sir E. R. Fremantle. presided.

Barot Roenne said that torpedo pets rigged out all round the ship by means of booms still constituted the principal means for: protecting warships against torpedoes. Germany, however, recognizing the useless- nças of this arrangement, had already dis arded those nets, which when rigged out

hindered her capacity for manoeuvring. The protection was insufficient since the nets left the bottom of the ship unprotected against mines and against torpedoes launch- ed by submarine boats and since the booms on which the nets were suspended were fre quently shattered by shell fire before the torpedo attacks took place. The losses in vessels, on both sides, during the Russo- Japanese War through torpedoes, mines, PROVISIONS. and underwater hits by artillery amounted

to 16 battleships, 11 large cruisers, and 35 torpedo-boats and unprotected craft a total vessels, Without reckoning those vessels which were temporarily disabled, the loss through torpedoes, mincs, and under- water hits by artillery amounted to 20 exclusive of torpedo-boats, unprotected craft, and auxiliary ships. Of those zo, nine were battleships, chiefly of the newest types.

of equal speed with a submarine foe. To safeguard those expensive battleships against possible disaster it would be neces sary to improve considerably upon methods of under water protection now in vogue. It would, of course, enhance the cost of new constructions as well as increase the weight and displacement, but all those extras would repay themselves enormously in the increased safety and fighting capacity of the ships. Greater confidence in their own safety must also be of inestimable value to the crews. The only really effective arrangement for protecting the ship was one that protected her equally well against torpedoes, submarine mines, and under

BENGERS

FOOD

Wherever there is a case of enfeebled digestion, whether from advancing age, illness, or general debility, there is a case for Benger's Food.

When the stomach becomes weakened, the digestion of ordinary food becomes only partial, and at times is painful, little of the food is assimilated, and the body is consequently insufficiently nourished.

This is where Benger's Food helps. It contains in itself the natural digestive principles, and is quite different from any other food obtainable.

All doctors know and aprove of its composition, a prescribe it freely. For INFANTS, INVALIDS,

might be obtained by constructing the bottom of the ship in a particular manner, by providing more water-tight compart- ments, and by the addition of novel protect- ing arrangements. It was generally be lieved that a sufficiently effective protecting device could not be contrived owing to the excessive violence with which the explosive acted, owing to the increasing weight of projectiles, and also owing to difficulties in the construction of such devices. All these drawbacks could, however, be overcome. The happenings at the battle of Tsushima when it was found that wood; even if dis- posed behind the armour, might be ignited- when the armur was damaged by the explosion of shells or torpedoes, had made it evident that the customary wood linings would have to be discarded.

In the discussion Mr. S. Nonaka, Naval Constructor to the Japanese Navy, said that the torpedo nets should be retained. Any- thing which would add to the present enormous weight of Eattleships was to be deprecated if it could poovibly be avoided.

The Chairman said that he hoped that more had been done in the way of protection under water than they were aware of. They heard a great deal about offensive power above water, but they did not hear much about the defensive power below water; which was absolutely necessary, At any rate, he hoped that our new First Lord of the Admiralty, who appeared anxious to try experiments upon the personnel, would try such experiments upon the matériel of the Navy as might be necessary.

ROUND THE WORLD. -

Commencing in November, 1912, the Deutschland, a

steamer in the Hamburg American sorrice, wil make her first trip around the world in the tourist service. She is of 17,000 tons and has been so completely -refitted as to possess the luxuries of a first-class hotel. The remodelling has cost £150,000 and nan result a grand dining room which will seat 530 people comfortably has been made. There is also a promenade deck which rane completely around the ship from stom to stern. There is also banqueting room which anu ba turned into a ball room and which has had a new parquet fcoring, a tea room, & winter garden and a grill. To do this the speed of the ship had to be reduced from 24 18 kucts an hour by the removal of seven bollers. The space thus gained has been utilised by the erection of a splendid cold storage plant, coal bunkers and tank for fresh water. In fact as the manage ment have put it the Deutschland will be a mag- nificent floating hotel with all the modern con- venienege. It is and rstood that all passages on her will be first oices only and that her ac- commodation is nearly all booked nirasdy.

It is in. teresting to note, therefore, that the only Grund Prix awarded in the pharmaceutical section at this exhibition has been received. against cous competitors, by Mesars. A.
