THE LAND TORPEDO. On the heels of the new British motor “tank” that is wreaking such havoc on the Somme battle front comes the announcement of a mon- ster just as strange and fearsome in- vented by an American. It is a giant “land torpedo” that eats its way through the earth as an ordin- ary torpedo bores through the wa- ter, and then explodes, blowing up a fort or an earthwork as its marine prototype blows up a ship. It seems impossible, on the face of things, that any human contriv- But the = hnatlu:. okl Bi and all the tami;y will alet:p bet;er." unications for the Weekly Pio- ted to garbage neer -fima reach this o:flee not later Another page 1s dftv :ells of %;e dfs- ance could do this. “‘sub- and tried out on Staten Island, with such success that one of the Euro- pean powers is bidding for its pur- chase. The land torpedo is described as a cylinder 40 feet long and eight feet in diameter, with small, rigid fins all around it to keep it steady in its course. It has in front a cutting head, working like a gimlet, boring through either earth or stone. It eats its way forward like an earth- worm. The cutting head is driven by two powerful electric motors, con- nected with a feed wire which the torpedo trails after it, the current being supplied from a distant power house. It is said to be capable of carrying a cable five miles long, and traveling that distance if necessary. In the rear end is an explosion cham- ber carrying a great quantity of high explosive. The torpedo once aimed and launched and aimed underground, its progress is noted by the length of cable paid out and by the use of a microphone. It averages between 40 and 100 feet an hour. When it ar- rives at its goal, after a journal that may last a few hours or many days, it is exploded by pressing a button in the power house. Such a device is obviously of great value either in attacking a fort or in trench fighting. With a few such torpedoes, if they are all that their inventor claims, it should be a simple matter tn blow up any of the elab- orate subterranean defenses in Bel- gium or France. There would be a vast saving of time and labor, and the sappers and miners could be spared for other work. Incidentally, it would be interest- ing to know whether our own gov- ernment is taking any interest in the device. Most of our big war in- ventions have been ignored at Wash- ington and snapped up by other na- tions. Will it be the same with this? THE HEALTH PRIMER. The: Tenement House Department of New York City has gotten out a kind of primer which it is distribut- ing to thousands of tenement dwel_l~ ers in the metropolis. This primer is called “For You” and is an inter- esting pamphlet from the very first page to the end. It contains a }ot of valuable information and advice that everybody, whether in city or country, ought to know and use. It tells its story in brief, forceful stqte— ments. One page asks the following questions: . “Do you want to get sick? “Do you want to lose a day’s pay?

Neither Yale, Princeton nor Cor- nell will get into action until the following Saturday so Dartmouth and Harvard will have the advantage of one scrimmage practice against an_unknown opponent. None of the large western colleges are scheduled for a game tomorrow. In the “big nine” regulations pro- hibit the start of football practice until Sept. 20, so the opening of the 'Season necessarily is delayed. The eastern contests will give an opportunity for fans to get something of a line on what may be expected of Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn State in the more important games which are to follow. New Hampshire, while not rated high, probably will offer enough op- position to Dartmouth to force some good football. Harvard, also, prob- a_bly will have to try out its best tac- tics in order to score decisively over Colby. The Harvard squad is new and the result of this first game will 0| contest for the big teams. Penn State will get its first work- PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS KKK K KKK KK KKK * x DR.
