TORPEDO EXPERIMENTS IN HARBOUR.

"succo3sJful and Sntisfnctory Results.

A hiIWS number of porsons congregated on (he whnrvoj tliis moriiinf; to ohccVvo tho tiring of a" espOritMßntil torfiodo, and a aibmaricu \uiuo hy thu Auckluud Torpedo Corps, wMcli i 1? composed Biitiroly of A.C nicn who havo been undergoing v course uf instruction in Ihia method uf warfare for soinß limo. Tho oxporiiuonta wore carried ■oGtmoat Buccessfully by,Mr W, L. Luildoi', wider tho supervision ol Lioiitonti.nt Archor. Jlinongat tho L'ttosts woro Colonol Lyon, ilajor Shoppard, Captain Morrison, Mossra Sqymour Geor^o, It, E. Isaacs, and W. ILoddor, (Marino Engineer). Thcso <;ontl« ---imon were on the dock of tho torpedo ifaoat, which, of course, would not havo boon allowed hi Gttual warfara ivheru every ono roys Mndor covor. The <jf 9 t oxporiment ".Vas mado with n spar torpedo. This was much smaller tlinn these usv'i in warfare, havintt "a chargo ol fliily iXJlba. of gelatine, instead of 6Ulbe. , it waa attuchod to a spar extend ing over tho bow of tiro taVpodo boat, aa the lattor CftffiO up harbour at a wondorfol rttti ol spocd. It was auddonly dipped ta tho wator for a distance ■of about ICft., and about 30ft. away from the l»W of the boat. A whistle was then blown, and tho explosion took place, throw ing the water about thirty feet high, and over a considerable area, the terpedo-boat by rovorsing hor onginua having got clear of the chock. The explosive power of this torpedo was equal to that of HQlbs powdor. It was fired by Mr W. Loddov. Tho Second experiment was made with an extempore sub-marine mine. This consisted of an iron case containing 301bs gelatine. It waa «MDk a short distaaco from tho wharves and was fixsdwith sinkers about r2ft. below the surface. Immediately above tbo mine »-«s a large cask afloat. The mine was ired by electricity, and caused an explosion Teater than that mado by the torpedo. Hvheh thebugevolume of water which v,as; 'throwtjupwardsclearedawaynoteparticloof' 'thevftsk was visible, the only nuaoror being •il&teo John Doro fisfc. The experiments "srereof a highly os^ccssfaj character, and showed that Iho port is in a satisfactory state of defence in the HiaTine department. The submarine mine, it is necessary to explain, was a small affair about one-tenth tke Btze of wkat wottld he employed in actual wArfaro. The explosions are caused by a piiminp of dry gun-cotton, the gun cotton detonated by a detonator containing fulminate of mercury, and they can bo cweed either by contact or at will. It is expected that further experiments in tho same way will be mado shortly.

SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S CLAIMS.

(BY TKlKfilurH.— VAKMAMKNTAKY

BKrOBTF-n. )

WiiLUKcivos, this day. In the House thin afternoon, Mr Mnc andro\V ptosehted a petition from Sir Julius Vogel, claiming compensation for services rendore'd in ri«igot!tting loan, also in connection ■■'■. ith inscription of stock.

Tho rumour that was in circulation re garding the prospocts of Sir Julius Vogol taking tho paid Chairmanship of the In surance Board gains atronpth, and 1 believe that overtures of the kind aro now on. A salary of .1" 1,500 a year, and an ac knowledgment of fix thousand and odd pounds, it is believed, would t'"i ft sutlicient inducomont to Sit -lUius Vogcl to retire from politic".

In Riving currency to the rumour which I font you yesterday, tho "Times'1 says: " If it bo roftlly true that Sir Julius YogelV appointment nn paid chairman of the New- Zealand Insuranco Association is con templated, wo havo no hesitation in exprcecing tlie opinion that tho step ifl a very undosi'-ablo one, and would be exceed ingly unpopular." The Bflttlo paper says Sir Julius Vogelvrf claim For sorvicos in connec tion with t''P Now Zealand loan is entirely unwarrantable, and tliink.H Sir Julius hap been very ill-advised to bring it forward again ;ir. this particular juncture. The proceeding, it adds, has a tendency to p!nco liiiii in an unonviablo position.

The Late Mr John Sheehan.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,-I consider your correspondent. Lapsus Linj?urc." has made a very wiee slip of the tongue in initiating the erection of a suitable memorial aa a tribute to tho memory of the lato Mr John Sheehan. It vill give the, native population of the North Island especially. It not of tho whole colony, an opportunity to con tribute their mite to commemorate the memory of a man who has always been found a warm, sympathising, and generous mend to the Maori race. I am Ruro 1 need not hore enu merate tbo maDy good and kind qualities of the deceased gentleman to induce a liberal response to so worthy an oblect. I will merely remark that he was always ready and willing to help those in need, and somotimca to his own detriment; and I think thoro can be little doubt of the fact that his untimely ana sadden death has deprived thocolohy of one of. its brightest ornaments, as a first class and honest legislator, as well as a straightforward colonist. I think therefore, Mr Editor, that a matter of this kind will only require publicity to make it a enccess, and as soon as a treasurer is appointed I will forward my mite, and also lend a helping hand to any committee that may be formed to carry the movement to a successful isaue.-I am, &c, K. W, Moody.
