To PROTECT THE GUNNERs.-Experiments
are being made by the Navy Department with
a new system Of protection for gunners in ex-

From Pennsylvania factory has been pro-
cured . peculiar description Of wire webbing
made OF interlocking steel spirals which is re-
markably flexible and strong. 1t bears some
resemblance to old-fashioned chain armor and
it is proposed to use curtains Of this material
to protect gunners behind shields from frag-
ments OF exploding shells. The resisting
