S2J. 900 for n Trial.

II cost the people of the United
States about S25, 900 in couple of
hours the otker day to settle in the
minds of the officers of tine Ordnance
Bureau whether some armor plates
made by the Carnegie and Bethlehem
steel works respectively were as good
as they ought to be. 1t was found
that they were; and what that means
can be imagined when one of the
plates was II inches thick, weighed
81 tons, and was attacked by shells
weighing $50 pounds each, the last
ones fired from n Pinch gun at dis
tance of only 3l9 feet, striking it with
the force needed to move mass of
u, 600 tons, or 43, 100000 pounds,
through foot of space. The projec-
tile went through. We take it that
that did not surprise even the experts
who are used to thinking about those
inconceivable masses and velocities.
But what did surprise them WAS that
the hole it made was nearly rs clean
as if it had been drilled, and that not II
crack appeared about its edges.
Though this particular proiectile was
lost, having been detected and fallen
into the Potomac, the other projectiles
which penetrated the same plate were
found III perfect condition and tit to
be used again. That seems almost
more marvellous than the perfection
of the plate. Meanwhile the people
of New York may take some satisfac-
tion in knowing that down at Sandy
Hook the War Department has just
mounted gun that will throw 1000
pound projectile, and make hole in
the heaviest armor-clad ship now ahoat
ut a distance of six miles. If we must
spend money on what we hope are
purely peaceful experiments, it is a
comfort to know what we get for it,

Afar on the pathless prairies
The rarest Of flowers abound;
And in the dark caves oithe valleys
There is wealth that will never be found,
SO there are sweet songs in the silenc.
That never will melt into sound.
The twilight illumines her banners
With colors no artist can teach;
And aloit in the sky there are sermons
Too mighty for mortals to preach
So life has its lovely ideals
Too lofty for language to reach

That the shore never knows in It's rest
And in the green depths Of the forest
There are choirs that carol unblest
So, deep in the heart there's music
And a cadence that never expressed.

ly decorated and generally moro pre,en-
tious piece of architecture. Its seating ca
pacity Is for 1000 or more people. and hero
are given Javanese plays OF the present and
former periods. In former times the tale
was unfoldcd 10y using marionettes behind
an illuminated screen. One man, called ths
dalang, worked them and spoke the differ
ent parts, changing his voice with the char
acters represented. then the screen Tas
abandoned and dolls were substituted in
which the e1trayagant and characteristics
proiiles We're preserved. Afterwards the
several roles were played by persons wear
ing the typical MASKS and supplying the ap-
propriate gestures, while the dalang from

In this form, which IL still the common
amusement OF the poor people. the different
characters were known by the masks, the
princes and mobiles wearing white masks,
giants and devils red and brown masks, etc.
In the last evolution the parts are both
spoken and acted by the same person, but
the plot OF the play is taken rs Of old from
NEUROLOGICAL tales.
The orchestra of the theatre numbers about
twenty-five, and their music, though quaint
and strange, is not at all bad. The leader
plays q two-strlnged violin. or rebab, there
is one wind instrument. the soelhng, a kind
OF bamboo whistle, several xylophones, some
bonnngs, q kettle-shaped affair made OF bell
metal, some big gongs of the same material,
and drums great and small None OF the
sounds are the discordant. terrible noises OF
the Chinese, but each one Is by itself at least
distinctly musical. In fact, the Javanese are
said to be In music by far tho most highly
developed OF any OF the Eastern Nations. For
some music the octave Is divided into seven
tones, as for the pelog, and for other music
into five tones, rs Tor the salendro. The
Javenese say the salendro sounds like glass
and has n manly sound, while the pelog is
more tender and must have a more metallic
'timbre." This orchestra occasionally plays
well-kDown English and American airs and
the effect Is very pleasing II somewhat odd
The dancing by the Javanese girls Is a slow
succession OF graceful poses, the best ofthem
being very Delsartian indeed.
Before one leaves the village he goes tG
pay final visit to Klaas, the orang-outang,
whose large cage Is at the corner OF tho
kiosk. This Is certainly an extraordinary
ape, and nearly rs clever as old "Aunt
Sally" who used TO be at the London Zoo.
He washes his face and hands, cleans his
teeth, eats his porridge with spoon, care
fully peels and eats an orange for dessert,
and then walks on HIS hind feet about his
house, or takes little practice on the hor-
izontal bar, but always sedately and with
great dignity. When the weather is bit
cool, he folds his blanket about him and sits
meditatively looking at his strange visitors,
and perhaps ruminates regretfully upon the
warm days In Java when he could tramp
about the village unrestrained.

After careful inspection OF the pleasures
offered by the Midway Plaisance, perhaps the
majority OF visitors will decide, says q Chi
cago correspondent OF the New York Even
ing Post, that the Javanese Village is at onco
the most unique, refined, and comprehensive
in its scope OF any at the Fair. There IL no
sign OF coarseness or vulgnrlty In either
amusements or customs, and Oriental life IL
presented in one OF its most charming phnses.
The houses, bazaars, theatre, and kiosk are
delight to the eye the men, though lack
ing the stature ofthe Saxon, have q sturdy
physique. the little women have lustrous
eyes, sweet faces and gentle ways both are
placid and soft spoken, Industrious and ar-
tistic.
The village, which coversa very consldera-
bic area, is surrounded by a palsade of split
bamboo and nj its western side Is n high
arched entrance made OF immense bamboos
decorated with devices In smaller bamboos,
palm leaves and bark. In the centre OF tho
village and fronting the entrance Is n large
kiosk where the real Java coffee and tea are
served. Apropos OF real Java coffee and tea,
II was largely with the idea OF letting Amerl-
cans know what the true articles are that this
village has been sent over. At present COM
paratiyely little, II Is said. OF our so-calad
Java coffee comes from the island of Java,
but rather from South America. The Java
coffee is very high in the essential oil and less
is required in making the beverage than
when the South American berry is used. For
that reason and for its finer flavor the genu-
ine berry commands n higher price. Most OF
the Java coffee goes to Amsterdam and Rot
terdnm, and is distributed IRON there. while
the greater part OF the tea crop is shipped to
England.

The Railroad Gazette has collected
statistics OF the attempts made during
the first six months os the present
year ut train wrccking and train
robbing in the United StltcI Con.
trary to the general suppositlon re.
garding these crimes, the statistics
show that the greater number Of them
have occurred not in the sparscly
settled Western States, but in the
older and well-settled States. The
figures show sixty-one attempts to
wreck trains and twcnty-ouc attempts
to rob them. Massachusetts AMI
Illinois head the list in the number OF
attempts to wreck trains, and Ohio
follows. In these thrae advanced
States were made moro than one.hllt
of all the attempts TO wreck trains, AMI
the State of New York comes next in
order. The only explanation offered
for this prepouderance of train-wreci-
ing in wo!l-settlci and, generally
speaking, well-goyernei States, is that
the mileage of railroads is greater in
those States than in others, and that
tramps, who are responsible for most
attempts to wreck trains, flourish in
thickly settled regions, In the
geographical distribution of attempts
at trainrobbing Iowa heads the
list; Indian Territory and Okla
homa taken together have the same
number as Iowa. Texas follows, and
then come Kansasand Nebraska. Sixty
seven per cent of all the train rob
berries or attempted train robberies
occurred in these four States and tgo
Territories.
