A BULLET O suIELD.

The Duke of Cambridge visited the Cyclops
Works Of Messrs. Charles C>mmell and CO.,
Sheffield, on Saturday and witnessed the
testing of a bullet-proof Shield, manufactured
by that firm, which was invented by Capt.
BoyntOn. The shield is simple IN constrpe
ton. 1t takes the form Of a plate OF specl-
ally prepared chrome steel, with a Slot IN
the top for the soldiers rifle. The weight IS
less than one-half Of a life-guardsman's
cuirass, and the material has such powers OF
resistance that it is absolutely proof against
the service bullet propelled by cotdlte
through a Lee etfort barrel at 30 yards
distance. A bullet which would pass con-
pletely through an oak plank 39n. thick IS
powerleSs to do more than make a Slight
indentation onCapt. Boynton's plate, which Is
only three sixteenths of an inch thick. Mr..
Tucker, r. E., fired five shots at one plate
from a Lee Metford rifle, and at the request
of the Duke placed his shots rs nearly AS
possible in the same spot. This extreme
test vas also withstood 10y the plato. There
wasIno indication Of anything like perforation.
Each bullet struck the shield with more than
a f%oot-ton of energy. Bofo . leaving, his
Royal Highness expressed his satisfaction
with the result Of the test, inasmuch as not
the slightest damage appeared to have been
done to the shield. Messrs, Cammell and
Co. had9 he considered, succeeded in solving
a problem which had been before experts for
many years.-Ib'd.

ATTACK ON AN AMERICAN TRAIN.

A daring attempt wa made early on Tues
day morning by four masked men to "hold
up" the Colorado and Utah express on the
Santa F6 Railway. The train left Chicago at
half past 5 on Monday evening for Kansas
City. The robbers expected that it would
cary at least $4,000. Information Of the
attack which was to be made had previAus-
" reacked the company through a spy, aud
the train was amply guarded to meet all con
Cingencies.
At half past 8 when the express was in the
neighbourhood Of CORN, Missouri, the spy,
as had been arranged with the officials, walk
ed on to the track some distance ahead and
waved a flag. When the train had been
brought to a standstilI the four masked men
emerged from the woods and covered the cars
with their revolvers. One walked up to the
engine and fired at the engine driver, q man
named Prescott, hitting him in the breast.
The guards on the train at once opened fire
on the robbers, who retaliated, an incessant
fire being kept up Cor some time. The rob
bers were eventually. put to flight, and were
pursued into the forest. The passengers were
papic-stricken during the fighting, and to
avoid the bullets threw themselves on the
floors Of the carriages.
A telegram just to hand from Missouri
announces that the robbers were four farmers
living near Arbela. Two of them have been
captured after desperate resistance, one Of
them being shot in six places before he gave
himself up.-1imes.

DERELICTS IN THE ATLANTIC.


Captain Froud, secretary of the ~Shipmas-
ters' Society, writes calling attention to a
chart made up in the style adopted by the
United States photographic Office, and post
ed day by day from May 20 to August 81 to
show the position of derelicts in the Atlantic
during that period. He says Iceberg re-
ports were very numerous The d%erelicts
reported number 104, Of which nine were III
the North Sea, 26 in the route of ships bound
southwark, and 20 We're capsized ships. In
stability and undermining are visible rea-
sons which probably account for the last
mentioned. About one-third of the derelicts
are British. During the last eight years re-
ported collision with derelicts has caused the
total loss of ten vessels and serious damage
to % others. a large portion of those seen
are in the Gulf Stream near the American
shores IS have been destroyed by the
United States Government since 1887, and
during last year 26 were lowed into port.

A TRANSIT or MERCURY4

Society writes to say On November 10
there will be a transit Of Mercury over the
SUMS disc. Under favomable conditions the
ingress will be visible shortly before sunset

who.e transit may he observed. The phe-
nomenon is not an imposing spectacle like q
total solar eclipse; nor OF s ch sensational
interest as a transit of Venus; but it has a
considerable importance in astronomy OF
precision, and u certain popular interest as
resembling a transit of Venus, which can
never again be seen by those now living.
The next transit Of Venus will take place in
the year 2094; but there viii be transits of
Mercury in 1867 and 1914. If there are any
astronomers who intend paying a visit to

the alleged use Of ehlaroform, inasmuch rs,

EXTRAORDINARY DIAMOND ROB
Berry.

Last Thursday afternoon a Dutch diamond
merchant. named Spyzer was robbed OF a
pocket-book containing a quantty.of precl us
stones at an office in Hatton-gafden, by three
men Of foreign appearance. 1t IS evident
that the robbery was very carefully planned,
and that Mr.. Spyzer, who belongs to Antwerp,
and came recently to London with the view
Of selling a large quantity OF III 1nonds, was
from the first the object Of the plot. lie was
induced to visit q person cal J. Z himself
Morris, who had on he previous day taken
an Office at 10, Hatt6nssGarden, and who had
informed him that he wished to purchase
diamonds. An appointment was made, and
the moment Mr.. SpXler entered the office he
was o%verp0wered and rendered lnsensiole
as he thinks, by chloroform. When he
recovered he found that he had been robbed
of diamonds of which the wholesale price was
about So, 75O, in addition to bonds and other
documents worth $4,000, together with his
purse, watch and chain, and other valuaOIeS.
The police have taken all possible measures
for capturing the thieves, but so Tar with no
success. 1t is thought that the perpetrators
may be the gang of thieves who four years
ago obtained a bag of registered malls, at
10, Hattonsgarden, when a postman was
chloroformed after a violent struggle, and the
bag and its valuable contents stolen from him.
the perpetrators Of the crime making good
their escape. A similar or the same gang
have during the past four years been carrying
on a system Of diamond robberies ON the
Continent.
Mr.. Spyzer was in possession of over $40,
0ou worth Of precious stones, which he usu-
ally carried in a diamond belt underneath
his waistcoat, but fortunately it had not been
convenient for him to obtain them at the
time arranged for the interview. 1t appears
that Morris obtained the I~ofice,by giving
three references. In two instances these
were to individuals living in the suburbs;
