SURPRISING PROGRESS.
We Have the Best Ships, ArmOr
and Sm0keIess Powder.

Few people seem to appreciate fully the
recent triumphs of the American inventive
genius in the field Of wariKe material. But
a few moments reflection cannot fail to
convince even the most pessmistic that our
achievements in this direction during the
last decade have been little short Of marvel
Gus.
1t now less than nine years since the re-
construction of the navy was commenced.
For eighteen years prior to 1888 military
and naval affairs had been steadily sinking
In popular estimation, until our coast de-
fenses and our navy, so far AS material was
concerned, had become subjects for ridicule
and causes of alarm. Meanwhile, other ma
tionS have been vigorously competing with
one another in the development OF mpe-
ments aud munitions Of war, until the
American people aWOke 10 the fact that our
pitiful Notifications, antique ships and OBJ
soete guns would be impOtent against the
attacks even Of thrd-rate powers.
An almost unanimous demand at once
arose for a remedy for this state OF affairs.
Inventors aud designers turned their ener-
gies into the long neg ected field, and to-day,
as a result, we not only have either built or
building some of the finest ships and guns 10
the world, but we have established ON our
own soil the industries and facilities for
making every item of equipment for an
army or navy from an electric primer to a
battle-ship. We are making to-day the
finest armor, the best explosives, the most
powerful battle-ships on the face Of the
earth.
No better examples Of this can be cited
that the latest American armor and smoke
less powder. The high-carbOn HarYeyiZed
nickel steel plates have given results far
ahead OF any other armOr ever tried, either
at hume or abroad, fact that foreign ac-
tons are unable to deny. though they nat
urally seem somewhat 10th to admit 1t. AS
for smokeless powder. il is probable that to
no subject during the last four years have
Europeans devoted mOro attention than TO
this. But now, after hardly years expert
ment at the Newport Laboratory, the Amer
lean Navy has produced a smOkeless pow
der which surpasses all others.
Aud in 1t the characteristic boldness" Is
conspicuous; for, while all other smokeless
powders have been nitro gly cerlne COM
pounds, the American article has gunCOttOn
for its basis. The presence of nitTo-glycer-
inc in the foreign products has been their
greatest fault, as its use involves great
danger to those handling it-a danger which
it has so far been found impractcabe TO
eliminate. But guncottOn may be handled
and transported with nearly as much i'm
punity as salt Again, the foreign powders
have frequently shown Iack Of stability with
age and varying temperatures. Not so the
American explosive, which contains no I'M
stable constituents, is unaffected by heating
for long periods, and may even be boiled in
water without deterioration. - Newark

The correspondence between the associa-

port Of it vas an offer on the part Of the
Hebrew Home Of Aged Disabled TO transfer
all its real aid personal property to the Pa
cifc Hebrew Orphans Asylum and Home
Society, on condition that the last named
provide a home during their natural lives TO
the nine inmates Of the Hebrew Home for
Aged Disabled. The Directors Of the Pa
ciiic Hebrew Orphans Asylum and Home
Society replied, declining the offer OF con-
solidatiOn, because under their constitution
they were without the power to receive new
inmates on the conditions proposed.
A resolution was adopted that all further
negotiations for consolidation be dropped,
inasmuch as there was an urgent need for
the continued existence Of the Hebrew
Home OF Aged Disabled at 507 Lombard
street. The present value Of the property
is over $1,000.

There is a mysterious leak at the County
Jail. Little streams Of water were discOy-
cred yesterday as they trickled down the
ancient walls on the Broadway and Hinck-
ley alley sides Of the old municipal rOokery.
Chief Tailor Hsdeler tried to trace the leaks
to their source. but failed. Floors of cells
were torn up. water pipes inspected and the
old bastie searched from garrett to cellar,
but no trace of break in water mains or
sewer pipe could be discovered. The jail
attaches are in quandary and are Of the
opinion that the plumbing is as rotten aud
defective as the building.
AS the water continues to flow through
the chincks the investigation will be re-
sumed to-day.
