1t appears that Herr Doves bullet
proof coat cannot be worn as part OF
a soldiers uniform. The stun is about
half an inch thick. and is not flexible
SO that II cannot be used as a garment.
Doves own idea is that his stun. which
one correspondent has described as wire
netting. encased in a cement-like mass,
should be made into plates. of which every
soldier should carry one in his napsack.
and at the commencement of fight
fasten it TO the body. That the material
seems likely TO prove OF value as
shield or screen against bullets is shown
by the determination of the German War
Office 10 continue the tests with view to
utilizing the invention in fortresses and
ship batteries. The so-called coat with
which Herr Dove has conducted his ex-
periments weighs six pounds. and costs

The French Premier's Danger.

France Is drifting towards another CaDli

caslmir- Perier OF becoming President OF

its head NJ. Casimir-Perler. went to the
front as the political idol OF the day and
the prospective Chief Executive. But the

tegrating The French Catholics, VINO
had given adherence to the Republican

ton of the advanced Radicals, which mas
heretofore sustained the Cabinet, Is In

The action against the Archbishop,
which grew out of his ignoring the law
recurring the accounts of the councils
OF fabrics" to be submitted to ;he civil
authorities, has aroused great feeling
among the clergy. and promises TO
strengthen the Monarchical party, while
the order that NJ. Toussaint, the deputy
