Some very interesting experiment
have been lately carried out 10 Leip
sic with cuirass made Of newl,
invented preparation Of steel. Th,
metal Of the cuirass is only sboul
S.50ths Of an inch thick, and ID line,
inside with thin layer Of WOO
The euirass itself is fourteen inche
wide and ten inches high (being in,
tended only to protect the heart an,
lungs, and weighes 24 pounds
Eleven rounds were fred at it at
distance of IT'S yards from Martin

lets which struck the cuirass two onl
pierced the metal, while these wer
completely fattened aud remained i
the wooden lining; SO that man YEA,
ing the cuirass wouldn't have bee
injured. There won't be any DANCE
at all in lighting after while.
