IsrEn..rrSo ExpeaIxExrs IN GUNNER

ISTEREsTINo EXPERIMENTS IN GUSNsRY.
Experiments were tried last week by .
party from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. for
the purpose of ascertaining the resistance
of different materials to Minnie rife bullets.
A pretty thick board was placed about 500
yards distant and fired at. Every ball per-
forated it. without leaving any sign of ex-
haustion in its track. A bag Of ioakum,
the compressed fbres of which are suppos-
ed to possess considerable resisting strength
was then suspended from a triangular
frame 500 yards off. The shot passed thro'
the bag with wonderful precision, and OBJ
liquely entered the board outside. which
demonstrated tho inefliciency Of oakum as
a protective commodity. Sand was next
tried in a similar manner, at q distance OF
800 yards, but the consequences were total
ly different. The balls not only did not
pass through the bag, but were, at u depth
Of six inches, hattened into shapeless forms
satisfactorily establishing the superiority
of sand tor the purpose intended. 1t was
demonstrated that slight impediment to
the ball was sufficient to turn it from its
aim. A thin board was in almost every
instance sufficient to give the ball an OBJ
iique direction These results confirm for
mer experiments.-Boston Journal.

On last Friday morning an athletic young
farmer in the town of Waynesburg. tooka
fair girl. /" all bathed in bushes" from her
parents, and started for the first town

without license. The happy pair were
accompanied by sister Of the girl-a tall.
gaunt and sharp featured female Of some
thirty-seven summers. The pair crossed
the line, were married. and returned to
Wellsvil!e to pass the night. People a. the
hotel where the wedding party stopped, OBJ
served that they conducted themselves In
rather singular manner. The husband
would take his sister in law. the tall female.
aforesaid. into ono corner of the parlor and
talk earnestly to her, gesticulating wildly
the while. Then the tall female would 'put
her foot down" and talk to him in an angry
and excited manner Then the husband
would take his fair young bride into a cor
ner. but no could no sooner commence talk
ing to her than the gaunt sister would rush
in between them and angrily join in the
, conversation.

all this meant about nino o'clock that even

which had been assigned to the newly mar

J the door of the room. and the newly mar

70 her out with all his might. Occasionally
! she would kick the door far enough open to
c disclose the stalwart husband, in his Gen

II that the tall female insisted upon occupy
