A TORPEDO HAS A ‘‘BRAIN”’ Ship Can be Singldd Out and De- stroyed by Missile. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 10.—A tor- pedo that can detect and single out an enemy craft, release it- self, and at a speed of forty miles an hour rush to attack it, is one of the surprise’ weapons in the hands of the United States gov- ernment today, according to Montraville Wood, Chicago scien- tist and inventor. Wood assert- ed in a lecture here he has turned yer to the government such | a defensive weapon, together with another invention which will im- munize ships of the home fleet to attack by his torpedo or anything similar to it. ° “It is really a torpedo with ears and a brain,’’ he said. ‘‘The ears work on the same principal as hu- man cars. They detect an enemy ship at a distance of ten miles and at a distance of one and a half miles they slip from their anchors and rush to attack. “The brain,’ he said, ‘‘I can- not tell you much about. That is Wood, who invented the detec- taphone, also told of a wireless controlled airplane being tried by the government. Jt carries no aviator.
