The torpedo is a small marble covered with a substance similar to brimstone, jand when thrown on some hard object produces the “crack” so , joyous to the heart of the youthful American patriot The torpedo will continue to shoot every time it is thrown until the brimstone is all removed. It is a simple thing j but has yielded its inventor a neat i fortune. Lieut. J. L. Knowlton, who is in : charge of the U.
