The Nickel Steel HaFveyised Proves
Highly Satisfactory.
WAsHIxoroN CRY, Feb. ia highly
successful test of the new nickel steel Har.
.veyized armor plate took place at In
dian Head proving ground today.
The tests were witnessed by . number
Of ordnance experts. naval officers and
steel manufacturers. Tho object of the
trials Was to determine what tests should
be established for 1000 tons armor. for
which bids are to be opened at the navy
department next Tuesday.
The plate tested was what is known ~
nickel steel Harveyized. It was nine feet
long by seven wide and fourteen
inches in thickness. The first shell was
of low velocity and penetrated the plate
about five inches and broke in fragments,
but the closest scrutiny failed to deter.
mine the slightest crack in the plate. The
second shot was Of high velocity and pene-
trated the plate between SIX and seven
inches. cracking it clear through
for . portion of its length, without.
however, reducing the protection which it
would afford the ship. The third shot
was at an increased velocity and produced
q similar result to the second. The fourth

second. and penetrated about ten
inches. The plate was cracked
and the backing which supported
it was much broken. Capt. Sampson, IN
speaking of the test, said no obtainable We
locity could be gwen q shell to send it
through the plate. The plate, he said,
was more than equal to the proposed re-
quirements and the test was in every way
highly satisfactory.

with the intention OF making whatever

terday, the gunpowder was dispersed
by the more rapid action Of the guncottou
and failed to explode. He believes, how
ever. that all the fuses fulfilled their
functions and detonated the primers
both of the powder and the cotton. The
range selected today was the same al
that of yesterday. 1900 yards. The first
shot almost duplicated that of yesterday.
No explosion was noticed. Three other
shots were fired with practically the same
results, no explosions being noticed.

1.-The Soul Between Faith and Doubt"
Prototypes of the finished study can be
obtained. though the picture itself was
not done when l left. Rome last March.

thence, sadness and question. On one
hand is the figure of Doubt, standing in
strong, lurid semi-darkhess; on the other

For people who like restful. amusing or
decorative pictures Mr.. Vedder's have no

Noise From N Toad.

It Is matter Of common observation
that the loudest sounds are not always
made by the largest animals The roar
Of the lion exceeds in sonorousness the
cry OF the elephant. Any one who had
only heard without seeing bullfrog
might well suppose that its fearful voice
breaking the silence Of the night must
certainly come from the throat of an an
imal of formidable dimensions.
But perhaps the most remarkable case
OF vocal power in an animal is that re-
lated by recent traveller in the high
lands OF Borneo. He was informed by
natives that they had heard tiger roar
ing in the neighborhood. Such news is
always startling to a stranger in the jun
giles Of the east and hardly less so to the
natives.
An investigation was accordingly set on
foot, which resulted in the discovery
that the alarming roars had been emitted
by toad! This toad of Borneo, how
ever, was by no means an ordinary men,
Der OF the family. It measured no less
than i4i inches around the body.
That the natives should not have rec
ognized the true source of the sound
shows that the existence of such toads
was either unknown to them. or that, at
any rate, they had never discovered the
remarkable vocal capabilities Of the ami
mals.-Youth's Companion.

The Picture Is a "uoodoo."

The death Of the young son of Henry
E. Abbey recalls the fact that the pic
ture on the act drop Of the Broadway
theater has been fatal to everybody con-
cerned, to say nothing Of the effect upon
the handsome playhouse. The pretty
young girl in the stagecoach is a portrait
OF the daughter of T. Henry French, and
she is dead. The dashing cavalier on the
right is Matt Morgan. and he is dead.
The boy in the foreground is portrait
OF Manager Abbey's son, and now he is
dead. The picture represents the recep-
ton of foreign bride by the young
dauphin Of France, and the future Of
the bride and groom was grewsome. It
is theatrical superstition that certain
pictures are unlucky.-New York Me-
tropolis.
