TESTING THE POWER or DyNAMITE
The second Trial made by the Senate Mill
AIRY Committee

The second Trial made by the senate Mill
AIRY Committee.
WNSH1NGTON, March l2.--1'hc second in
the series of dynamite projectile trials un-
der the auspices of the Senate military
committee took place to-day on the banks
of the Potomac, about half way between
Georgetown and Chain bridge, Four
shots were fired with six inch
shells, carrying eleven pound bursting
charges of nitro-glycerne. The range
was 1000 yards and the target was per
pendicular ledge of solid traprock on the
south bank of the river. The first shell
struck near the eastern margin of the
ledge and exploded by conclusion, shatter
ing the face of the rock for u radius
of about thirty feet and carrying away
several tons of debris which were hurled
for hundreds of yards up and down the
stream. The second shell struck nearly
in the centre of the ledge, exploding as the
one before it, 1t opened II cavity in the
face OF the ledge about twenty-five feet in
diameter and eXcavated Il pit six feet deep
Some of the fragments of rock from this
explosion were hurled half a mile, one
piece weighing nearly eleven pounds be
ing thrown clear across the canal and
lodging near farm house adjoining the
Georgetown reservoir The other shots
were similar in their effects. NOthwith-
standing the drizzling rain quite con
course of people assembled to view the
trial, among whom in addition to several
officers of the army and navy were the
military and naval attaches of the German,
French and Italian legation.
The trial was regarded as Il success in
every respect, and as IA conclusive proof of
the destructive power of the SIX inch
shells. The members of the foreign lega-
tiOns present manifested great interest in
the trial, particularly the Russian minis
ter and the German military attache, who
took copious notes of the proceedings.
Some of the experts present expressed the
opinion that any of the shells fired would
have completely wrecked any unarmOred
ship alloat and seriously racked the
strongest irOnclad.

From the Pail Mall C,azpttp

Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward
was born on Jan. s, 1864. His early edu-
cation was received at home, and it was
not until March 1877, that it was resolved
that the two sons of the prince should re
ceive II portion of their education on board
the Brittania training ship, when they
were entered as naval cadets. In May
they We're examined ut the royal naval
college at Greenwich, in the same manner

manned for some time, until on Sept Is.
1879, the two princes embarked ON the cor
Nctte Bacchante for the Mediterranean
On May ., 1850, the Bacchante returned
from her voyage, in the course of which
she had visited the Mediterranean. the
West Indies and Bermuda. In their Voy-
age round the world in 1851 and 1882 rs
midSmpmen in the BaCchaute, command
ed by Capt Lord Chas. Scott, they visited
many countries, but detailed account of
the trip Is yet to be written II is rumor-
ed tnat some such book may come from
the princes themselves. Wherever the
Blcchante touched the princes were en-
tertalncd at balls, rOuts, dinners and PIC

at the Fiji Islands, where they had an Op-
pOrtunity of witnessing some of the most
curious and striking native ceremonies

nelghbOriug islands, and testified their

squadron passed through the inland sea of
Japan, between koke and Yokohama, a
route chosen in preference to the direct
way TO shanghai, in order to give their

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA.
The Boiling of Drinking Watcra Valuable
Precaution.

Prof. William IL. Brewer of thcTShef.
field Scientific School delivered before the
Society of Arts at the Institute Of Tech
nOlogv, recently, an interesting lecture
on "The Asiatic Cholera from Lpyman's
Point of View Prof Brewer maintain
ed that il is established as IA fact that the
poison is found in the OBJECTIONS of the
system. The most common vehicle OF its
propagation is contaminated water.
Whether it can reach the system through
the lungs is II question but it is proved
most abundantly that it may come through
contaminated water. The water which
comes from places where there is much
filth is sure to be most fatal
The lecturer had no faith in quarantine,
and he thought it probable that cholera
would reach us, though by no means GER
tain. He had no doubt, however, that our
Atlantic cities will be able to grapple with
the cholera. 1t would be well if the citi-
zens could be found as Jealous to prevent
the conditions which cause diphtheria and
kindred diseases. Attention was called to
the fact that water which is boiled is
thereby freed from the living organisms
which are connected with cholera and
the lecturer said that he had himself drank
water which was so bad as to kill army
mules and he suffered no serious conse-
quences because he boiled it. Nearly all
those who survived the worst rebel prisons
in the South did so by having the water
boiled,
