EXPLODING MINES
IN NORTH SEA IS
NAVY^S BIG TASK
LONDON.—-The American navy is
having a tremendous task in sweep
ing the North sea of the 56,000 elec
trical and highly sensitive mines
they planted there. Explosion by
electricity is the method now em
ployed. Some were sunk very deep
—as deep as a submarine could go.
Each mine was fitted with an
tennae suspended by floats, so that
the huge field was not only charged
with mines, but had also become a
mass of sensitive feelers to explode
them. Should a submarine come in
contact with an antennae, the mine
at a short distance away at the end
of the antennae would explode.
The problem has been to ex
plode the mines far enough away
from the sweeper to ensure safety,
and also to forestall the danger of
the explosion of a mine at a safe
distance, causing another close to
the ship to “go off."
The vessels in sweeping use spe
cial electric cables several hundred
yards long. Operation of a system
of electric appliances prevents the
mines from exploding if the ship
etrikes an antennae, but when the
electric wire touches the antennae
it blows the mines up at a safe
distance from the boat. Hundreds
are being destroyed by this method
Aside from the danger and tedi
ousness of the task, bad weather is
added to the hardships of the Am
erican sailors.
About 75 vessels are employed,
the majority of them American.
Sub-chasers help by rounding up
drifting mines that have broken
from their moorings and sinking or
exploding the mine by firing a shot
it it.

VISITORS Assist
AT CIRCLE TRIAL
But for the timely arrival of the
steamer Yukon at Circle recently,
the even balance of the scales of
I justice might have become seriously
(disturbed through failure, of the
icourt to secure h sufficient number
|of .jurors to sit on a case which
(was pending at the time the steamer
made fast at the landing. The town
!had been canvassed thoroughly in a 1
search for jurors, and four were
still needed when the Yukon arrived
on the scene and came to the relief
of an embarrassing situation. Harry
Davis and three members of the
crew were prevailed upon to fill the
I panel.
The case involved two old ladies
who had come to blows on Circle’s
principal thoroughfare. It was an
old-standing feud, as nearly as the
members of the jury could make
out, and the plaintiff was equally as
guilty of disturbing the peace as
the defendant. That is the way the
jurors decided, at any rate, the ver
dict leaving the querulous dames
free to settle the dispute in their
own way.
