Gmn.Cotton ana water shells.
ISL. Louis Republican,


The recent experiments made Mt Oke-
hampton, In England, are said to have
been successful In proving the great
value Of the new water shells" They
are filled either with gunpowder or with
wnter, according as they are to be en-
ployed against earthworks us common
shell. or as water shells against troops.
In the latter case, small cylinder con-
tanning a quarter, or at the most half
an ounce Of gun-cotton Is fitted into the
water-fllled shell, which Is then hermet-
ically sealed. A charge OF illuminate
powder finds room between the gun cot
ton and the fuse, and as soon MS the lat
ter IL fitted, the shell Is ready for firing.
Now. a common shell filled with gun
powder breaks up into three or four
pieces only, while one filled with water
and hnlf an ounce Of gun cotton flies
Into a hundred fragments or more-the
reason being that the gunpowder ex-
plodes comparatively slowly, and breaks
up the shell at its weak points, while
the gun-cotton detonates with a sudden
and terrible force, which, being COM
municated to n-compressible body
like water, bursts the shell instantly
into minute fragments, the energy be-
ing exerted equally on all sides. SO
rapid and terrible Is the force generated
by the gun-cotton that the iron shell is
sometimes actually pulverized.

The regular monthly meeting OF this
Council was held last evening In Grune-

quorum present.
The minutes of last meeting were read
and approved.
Mr. Mitchell here announced dele

To tho Property Holders Central Council
Genttemen--At q meeting Of the Me-
chanics' and Workingmen' Central
Council, held this day. committee of
four was appointed to call upon the
Central Council of the Property Hold
ers' Association to ask their co-opera-
ton with this organization to protest
against the unauthorized and illegal
withdrawal and stopping of pay Of one
third OF the police OF this city, to the
great injury Of the life and property of
the citizens of New Orleans. and great
wrong to the members of the police
force. Respectfully,
PAUL GRANzIN, Chairman.

On motion the communication was
received and referred to the Executive
Committee.
A recess was then taken to collect
monthly dues, after which reports Of
committees were called for.
Mr.. Hughes reported that himself and
Mr.. Seaman had called upon Mr.. Kel

which Mr.. Kellogg had signed.
A vote OF thanks was here rendered

subject:

Eward Thompson. ESD. Chairman Committee
etc.
Dear Sn'-When your committee first
spoke to me about the right to attack
the bonds issued by the city of New Or
leans, my impression was that the pro-
hibition of the State Constitution and of
the Federal Constitution could not be
invoked by the property holders. Sub
| sequent reflection has caused me to
change this opinion.
The Constitution Of the United States.
art. l. sect. 10. clause 1. forbids any State
to pass any law impairing the obligation
OF contracts
The constitution of Louisiana is, '.No
law impairing the obligation OF contracts
shall be passed." Art. 10.
These prohibitions place a restriction
upon legislative power. The State can
not pass any law impairing the obliga-
TONS OF contracts. 1t will not do to say
that the Legislature may pass such a
Law, and that it can be enforced as TO
all persons except those who have con

Wind MCaSllrcr.

The thermometer has now been i'm
proved to such a degree that it not only
denotes changes In the force and velocity
OF the wind, but keeps record OF the
same. In this arrangement the essen
tial part Is u plate having its face con-
stantly presented to the wind, by a set
OF vanes at right angles to it. The force
OF the wind on the plate causes it to move
an arm carrying pencil, which makes a
mark on sheet Of paper, especially ruled
Tor the purpose, having separate CON-
partments for registering the force and
duration OF the wind, and third to show
the amount OF rain. The paper is slowly
moved by clockwork. The pencil APP
proaches or recedes from the edge of
the paper, as the wind varies in force.
while similar pencil attachment to an
arm connected by a spiral worm aud
nut to the guide vanes, registers the di-
rection OF the wind in the centre COM
partment. The rain gage is attached to
a bent lever, also carrying pencil.
which Is drawn toward the centre of the
paper as the gage becomes filled with
water, thus Indicating the amount OF
rain. When the gage is completely
full. 1t tits, empties itself, and the
record commences afresh-the opera
ton being simple and perfect.
