i | : Yas ai" ae | = v £3 | | :i = ABBOTSFORD, SUMAS 3 Electrically Co After several years of experiment Ing with a new type of electrically ‘controlled torpedo, the Petisn ad- Tuiralty has brought to perfection 4& projectile which follows the target and carries sufficient explosiva to blow the vessel in two when it scores 4 direct hit, according to reports heard today. In a test on the admiralty range in Portsmouth harbor, one vf the torpedoes got out of control ana tore around the harbor at 40 Knots. Fast admiralty vessels chased it but they could not overtake it ana finally the torpedo landed at Wey- mouth beach. Spectators were not allowed to approach within 100 yards of thi e mysterious projectile and photo- graphs taken by several persons were confiscated for fear the secret of the torpedo's mechanism might be revealed. The torpedo is not fired like on ordinary torpedo but is launched into the water. Thus the vesser that is carrying it is able to hide in @ cove and destroy the enemy fleet with these electrically guided tor pedoes without revealing the tor- pedo carricr’s position by an eX- plosion. Once launched, the tor pedo is steered by a small wireless apparatus looking like two-tube am- plifiers, The first current applied starts the powerful driving mechanism at the back of the projectile. As it tray- els forward, a fine copper wire un- winds behind it apparently acting as a sort of aerial. A second wave current controls the steering appara- tus which gives remarkablé control, enabling the torpedo to follow all the twists and turns of the target. A fin, similar to that of an aeroplane’s, gives the operator the choice ot launching the torpedo over the sur- face of the water at a tremendous) speed or of submerging it several feet in order to make a hit below the water line. The tests produced amazing re- sults. Several old vessels were towed out to sea and a_ torpedo launched many miles away from them. In every case, and there were 14 tests of this kind, a direct hit was scored by the operator who was able to guide the torpedo to within a foot of the spot aimed-at. The torpedo contains a new and deadly explosive of such strength that several of the target ships were * cut in half, The Weymouth mishap occurred when the control instrument burst a tube and left the operator able to guide the torpedo in one direction only. Hence the projectile made ever widening circles until it was grounded. The explosion of the torpedo head is caused by the contact of four detonators, two on the head and two on each side. The explosion occurs immediately when any one of these come in contact with hard projects. Japan Buys Setting Eggs Orientals Satisfied With Results From Canadian Supply Eyer since the World's Poultry Con- gress was held in Canada in 1927, the exports of fine poultry have been Increasing. Not only breeding stock but hatching eggs haye been going forward over long distances. Japan took considerable stock last year and it is reported by the Poultry Division of the Live Stock Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa that the hatchings from eggs sent to Japan were well over fifty per cent. Already this year some three thou- sand hatching eggs have gone to that country. It is announced also by the Live Stock Commissioner that an order is being fulfilled by the Bri- tish Columbia Record of Perform~ ance Breeders’ Association for a shipment of eggs to a breeder in the Philippine Islands.

Of Wood But No Nails Three years of tireless effort have made Burton W. Blair, Marion, Ohio, the possessor of a library table that is considered a work of art. Without the use of a single nail or screw, Burton has constructed a table that many antique collectors would like to own. The top is constructed of 1,557 pieces of wood, 17 different kinds being used to give the desired color! effect. Attractive in its simplicity, the unique table contains but three de- signs, the Masonic square and com- pass, composed of 62 pieces of wood, and the American legion emblem, Blair is a World War veteran. He began work on his table October 5, 1925, ie ; B.C, Agriculture Agricultural prospects in British Columbia are favorable. On the low- mainland small fruits came through the winter well. There is a slight in- crease in the acreage of fall figld crops which have come through the winter satisfactorily. Canada has no leisure class. Those who have no business to attend to are busy at bonspiels in the winter and at golf in the summer. Those out of work keep busy watching the sky- scrapers arise. “Make Mill ng’ Garnot Wheat Found To Bo Inferior To Marquis For High Grade Flour In color, volume of loaf and glue ten-content, Garnet wheat is infer: for to Marquis, though the two va rieties show no appreciable differ- *|ences in absorption and bread yield, According to the result of a test, completed at the Keewatin Mill of the Lake of the Woods Milling Com: pany. “Tf a high quality of flour is to be © first consideration,” states the re- port of the company’s investigators, “we cannot recommend Garnet for our mills. The result of this test further confirms our previous con- victions,” : te To stage the experiment, which Rave results in accord with previous tests, a mix of 2,000 bushels of Gar- net wheat was milled in comparison with Marquis on a commercial basis. “An excellent sample of Garnet was used in the test, weighing 65% pounds per bushel and averaging 12.5 per cent. protein; the Marquis sample weighed 621% pounds per bushel and averaged 13.2 per cent. protein. Regarding Reward wheat, the company’s test states, that the var- iety is consistently from one to two per cent. higher in protein than Marquis and equal to Marquis in all the best baking points. Hope was expressed in the report that agrono- mic success in producing Reward might in the near future enable it to replace all other varieties. Canadian Ice Cream For South Americans Shipment Goes Forward To George- town, British Guiana, By O.N. Steamship The first shipment of ice cream, which it is believed was ever made to South America from any place in Canada, went forward recently from Truro, N.S., consigned to George- town, British Guiana, by the R.N.S. “Lady Drake” of the Canadian Na- tional Steamships. The order, which is of substantial size, was received by the manufacturer entirely un- solicited, and the manager of the firm foresees great possibilities in this trade with the inauguration of the new service by the Canadian Na- tional Steamships. Two years ago they made their first shipment of this delicacy out- side of Canada to Newfoundland, and this has since developed into a reg- ular trade. Convinced by their suc- cess in Newfoundland, the firm de- cided to extend the export field with the results as noted. Knighthood Appears ‘io Be No Longer In vor It was bound to come.
