THE HOLY LAND.
Travel in Egypt Described by DR.. M.

DR.. M. w. HANNA delivered a lecture on
m odern and ancient scenes and travel In
the Holy Land to an attentive audience In
the First English Evangelical Lutheran
Church on Geary street last night.
The lecture was one of series on the
same subject, and was preluded by q
synopsis of the previous lectures.
The description of the scene presented at
the time the party of which the doctor was

trial was amusing in the extreme.

HARVEY ARMOR-PLATE.
Successful Result of Experiments
Made i'm Russia.
St. Louis GIobe-Democrat

ST. Louis GloOe-Dem0craL
The Harvey armor-plate was mentioned
in this column several weeks ago. and q
brief outline was given of its successful
history. 1t is interesting to note that in
trials made at Ochta. in Russia. on Deem
Der Is. this American invention was COM
pleteIy successful. and far surpassed its
four foreign competitors in every way.
-Four 6-inch Holtzer forged steel proiectles,
weighing ninety pounds each, were fred
against it. with an average striking velocity
of 21T3 feet a second. These broke up on
the hard face the points penetrating to
depth of four or five inches. No cracks APP
peared. and the competition was declared
ended. as the Harvey plate had thus proved
itself better than any OF the others. 1t was
then decided to find out what was the resist
ing power of the plate by firing at it uutil ii
gave way. Accordingly 9-ineh prnjectile
weighing Acc pounds was fired with
striking velocity of 1889 feet per second.
This penetrated, but broke up. The plate
was fractured, and the cracks ran through
the points where it had been previously in
dented with the 6-inch projectiles. No part
OF the plate fell, and all the bolts but one re-
manned intact srcond 9-inch shot brought
down the whole plate in fragments, together
| with the backing and woodwork, which was
set on fire. These last two shots with the
| heavy gun, forming no part of the original
programme, were reported mere ID the ItSb
| dispatches without explanation, and caused
| considerable anxiety to our engineers. Now
| that their true bearing has been explained
| it is pretty generally admitted that the Rus
| sian officers have done very good thing in
attacking the plate as they did.
| Not the least encouraging feature of the
| etfair is the fact that the greatest public
| English opponent Of the Harvey plate, The
| Engineer, comes out with the follewin g
| enc0mium: Harvey Is to be greatly con-
| graduated on the complete success of his
| plate. which has behaved exactly In the
| way plate, in our judgment. should be-
have. 1t broke up the projectiles fro m the
| 6-inch gun without cracking. When blow
! altogether outmatching the plate IS delIy-
| cred on it the plate breaks up in every
| direction, instead of letting the shot through
| This, again, is good behavior. 1t is chiefly
! on the thin armor OF cruisers and on the
| thinner parts of heavily clad vessels that
such blows fall In either case II is desir-
| able that the armor should be be destroyed
| rather than what it protects.
| There is but one unfortunate fact IN con-
] nection with these trials. and that is the
unexpected structural defect in one Of the
| English plates, which prevents lis showing
| up to its usual standard This standard,
| however, is we'll known and was undoubt-
| eddy surpassed by the Harvey plate.
| The rice crop in the South this year Is
| estimated tn be 225,000000 pounds.

The popularity of the SOnoma County ex-

Saturday. To be sure, there was special

steady influx of visitors and their lingering
stay over the curiosities displayed could
not be explained away by that single fact.
The entire exhibit is under the charge of
