time Uncle Sara lires a torpedo, zip! .
zip!- two houses and lots!
Eleven men must work a year at t
the average American waue to pay .
the price thereof.
A single broadside from the droailnaught
Arizona means the income of .
the average workman foi twenty-five j
years.
That's the way our money will be |
shot away in ease of war with Ger- j
many. (
A 4-inch shell weighs 1,000 ]
pounds, cost $700. .
A 12-inch shell, already considered
one of our "smaller" shots, costs
$600.
The Arizona has 12 14-inch guns. '
all of which, together with some of
her smaller cannon, can be fired at
once, at a cost of $1,000.
Ten 14-inch shells yr one torpedo '
are counted on to sink a battleship. '
The cost is the same for aramuni- '
tion?$7,000. *
But the torpedo is the cheaper way '
because of the lessened expense of '
firing; also the lesser risk.
A torpedo is roallv an electric v
launch; it leaves the torpeflo-tubc 1
with the propellers working, and it 1
will keep on going till the motor runs *
down?unless it hits its mark.
When it hits?bang!
It is fitted a gyroscope, to keep. (
it steady in its course, and two propellers
moving in opposite directions. 1
The motive power is electricity ot 1
compressed air.
Torpedo parts are gauged to asi'
near exact size as possible?two ten- '
thousandths of an inch. It is as dellcate
a mechanism as the machines
that record earth tremors.
Compared to a torpedo, a wrist i
watch is as delicate as a coal wagon, t
