Firing she,ls at High Angles.

The new piercing shells were tested at
Sandy Hook yesterday afternoon. One shot
was fred with some success, inasmuch as the
projectile knocked out a corner Of the AZ inch
steel plate instead Of piercing it as it should
This il probably accounted for, however. by
the fact that the gun was sighted for that por-
ton of the plate so as to save 1t for further
shots and thus spare the necessity Of putting in
new shield at each shot. The shell, which
weighed $50 pounds. went through the plate
and then exploded in the barrier Of sand imme-
diately in the rear OF the shield. The projectile
passed through y second wooden target about
one hundred yards behind the shield and was
found 500 yards from the gun. The firing ve-
locity of the gun il $40 feet per second. This
experiment was to determine IL 1t il possible
to put shell through the deck of q steamship
by system of firing known as high-angle
firing the shell first piercing the deck and then
exploding in the hold of the vessel. Fifty-one
pounds Of powder was used. The large pieces
Of the plate were found one hundred yards from
the gun.

Secretary Tracy is minus a valet, the Navy
Department is minus messenger and Annie
Wright, one of the Secretary's servants, is

Why Picnics are SO Called.

Everybody knows what a pic mic
is, but most folks would find it hard
to say how it got that name, and yet
it is simple enough when you come
to learn it. When "A picnic was
being arranged for, the custom orig
inally was that those who intended
to be present should supply the eat
ables aud drinkables. A list of those
necessaries having been drawn up,
it was passed round, and each person
picked out the articles of food or
drink that he or she was willing to
furnish, and the name of the arti-
Gle was nicked, or licked off on the
list. The open air entertainment
thus became known as "plck and
nick" The custom is said to date
from 1902, 50 that the picnic is who'll
~ an institution of the nineteenth
century. AS started, it must have
strongly resembled what is now call
ed a surprise party"

ALunntIc,s Wonderful raoultr.

A patient formerly confined in the
hospital for the insane in this city
seemed fond OF reading, and in taking
up newspaper it was noticed that he
would read aloud without hesitation,
whether the paper was sidewise or bot
tom side up. AS further test of his
powers one of the attendants held a
newspaper spread out before him, keep
ing it continually turning around; still,
with wonderful ease, the lunatic contin-
ued to read uninterruptedly. To test
him still further reel was procured
and the paper spread out and attached
to the arms, the whole then placed be-
fore the patient No matter how fast
the reel was turned the wonderful crea-
ture would read article after article
aloud without seeming to be disturbed
in the least We have never heard
whether the singular phenomenon was
continued, or even whether the patient
is still living or not.-Hartford Post.

isn't one OF the occasions, however"
We asked him to explain, but he told
us to wait till we were off. When that
time came he said:
THE ticket agent made mistake OF
just "a in my case, and think it is all
right to beat him. The agent in Gin
cinnati once beat me out of 49, so l am
hardly even"
AS he explained the case he pulled
out wad of bills and counted them,
and all of sudden he turned pale,
jumped to his feet and gasped:
"Great heavens! but I'm left!'
"How?"
"Why, gave him twenty instead OF
a ten, and instead of me beating him
