The Magnetic She'll"

The so.called magnetic SHE'LL"
which has been used at the trials
Of English armor plates at Okhta,
near st. Petersburg, Russia, has
made an extraordinary record. The
shell was fired at a soft st. Cham
ond plate at right angles, and the
penetration was lOI inches; an
other shell penetrated is inches.
One shell was discharged at a g.
inch HarveysiZed plate, at an an
gle of % degrees. The projeCtile
passed through the plate and back
ing and fell about 400 yards be-
yond, a performance which filled
the scientific experts present with
amazement. Further trials will
be made, but for the present no
plates of the requisite strength are
forthcoming, those already used,
which were manufactured special
ly for the purposes of the trial, be.
ing so shattered as to be useless
for future tests. The general i'm
preston among military experts is
that the magnetic shell is not q
new shell at all, but simply a new
invention adaptable to any mod
ern projectile. One OF the shells
which had undergone the secret
process was exhibited. Although
it had passed through one of the
! armor plates, it was in an undam.
aged condition, and as it showed
no traces of fastening whereby the
,, new invention could be attached to
it, the spectators concluded that
the said improvement must be a
cap of softer metal held on to the
top of the shell by magnetism.
This nurses the hard point Of the
shell at its impact, and so helps it
to penetrate the surface of the plate
until it reaches the softer metal be-
hind. This, at all events, is one Of
the guesses at the principle of the
novel projectile.

The Banjo in England.

From the New York Evening Post.
The Amherst Musical Association
sent the college glee, banjo and
mandolin clubs thirty performers
in all, and all UNDERGRADUATE
England this summer, and they
are now making a tour in Great
Britain, under the direction of Mr..
Charles Terry, brother of Ellen
Terry. The Amherst clubs gave
their first concerts on July l3, at
Southport, near Liverpool. They
had arrived only the day before,
after a voyage across the Atlanta,
but the Southport papers speak in
high terms of their singing and
playing. The Southport Guardian"
says: "The banjo is generally as
sociated with a jerky, unmelod-
ious, step-dance kind of music, but
the Amherst students have Guilt
waited banjo playing until it has
become a fine art and the results
they obtain are quite revelation,
but the greatest praise must be
accorded to the singing. Nothing
could be more finished than the
rendering of the various glee."

Gas Motors for Street Cars.

From the Baltimore Sun.
United States Consul Mason, at
Frankfort, Germany, reports fur
Their upon the use of gas motors in
Europe for the propulsion of street
cars, and pronOunces it successful.
In England, he states, gas is found
to be so much cheaper than cleo
tricity or horses that new
departure in the propulsion of cars
is thought to be at hand. The
motor can be adjusted to cars
build for other methods of traction
and is thoroughly efficient, running
quietly, without smoke or steam,
and always under control.

Improving Old Authors.

From the London Figaro.
Canon Alger, who has succeeded
to the snug and dignified berth of
the mastership of the Temple, is
chiefly known for his delightful
Life of Charles Lamb" and as the
popularizer of the phrase, "The
damn has had its day." He is a
vigorous opponent Of "swear"
words in every shape and form,
and even went so far as to delete
all the big, big DPS from Lambs
essays and letters in his edition Of
them, an act which was regarded
by many as over-squeamish in
view of "St." Charles harmless and
often humorous use of the eXple-
tive.

Possibilities of Ten Cents.
m the New York Press.

From the New OrK freSs.
Consider if you please, the
practical difference between l0c
and %, as Mr.. Nathan Straus de-
monstrates 1t daily at his ster-
ilized milk booths, where you can
buy a glass of cool milk for lc. A
man for &c can buy the equiva-
lent of a hygieniC summers
breakfast and still have Sc left. At
the old price of &c a glass he would
have nothing left. Now he can
ride all over town on the elevated
for five of it, and when he gets
tired of changing of at the stations
where the up and down trains
meet can refresh himself with
three glasses more Of milk, or else
he can buy a glass Of milk for
eight other people who need it, or
he can buy five buns for SC and
have five glasses of milk, or he can
have TWO maCarOOns for a cent,
drink four glasses of milk, and can
top it off with a penny glass of ice
cream,
The possibilities Of l0c in this
town, as the penny milk and
coffee booths have shown them,
are simply amazing, and every
body who wants to do a kind and
helping thing will make himself
familiar with the addresses OF
both kinds,

Animals and stimulants.

From the Hospital.
1t has lately been pointed out
that man, after all, is not the only
animal who INDUCES in stimu-
lants. Certain animals also in
dulge themselves in this manner
with fatal results, the vehicle Of
intoxication in the case Of the
lower order of beings being a creep
ing vetch called the "loCo plant"
This is an inhabitant Of the "TeXas
Panhandle" and is source of
serious danger to horses and cattle.
To them it has all the allurements
which are possessed by absinthe
and gin for beings Of another
grade only the results of the vetch
are more definitely fatal, even
when taken in moderate measures.
Animals who have tasted Of it are
liable to fall over backwards, their
brains being affected as well as
their spinal cords. They leap
heights in their frenzy and dash
down precipices. No rider Of a
horse who has been thus intoX-
icated is in a safe position.

A Kentucky Literary Debut.

From the Edmonton News.
This morning while the eastern

brilliant and glittering orb from
which shimmering volumes Of
light are gushing in a torrent Of
splendor and flooding the face of
nature with sea of glory, | will

news. Though when l contem-
plate the task | am greatly dis
couraged by my lack Of reading

that l may be able to perform the

News is apparently scarce in
this neighborhood, and there is no

tention of writer. Everything is
moving in the same dreamy, quite
old way. Farmers are busy at
stacking their wheat aed black
smiths are pounding and greasing
up old threshers and getting them
ready to grind out the grain.
We are reliably informed that
a new sawmIll will soon break the
solitude of our vast swamp, and
send thrill of enterprise through
the nerves Of the people.

CODY ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
The Colonel Wants to Resent an Insult
to a Girl in a Western Way.

ASlil Allt I AllLdNltl pulol IItSS
st, Paul, Feb. 19-Frank Rowell,
mayor of Lacrosse, who has for the last
twenty years been warm friend of
Col. Cody, said to-day that there would
certainly be a duel if Fred May could be
coaxed to fight Mayor Rowell said fur
ther: The trouble was not over an act
ress, but over an American girl who was
visiting in London when both Col Cody
and May were there. This girl, whose
name withhold because of the notoriety
II would bring her. went to Col Cody one
afternoon and told him that May was
giving her attention, but that his atten-
ton was not that of a gentleman. A few
days later May and Cody were present at
the same banquet, and Col. Cody calmly
said to May that he ought, as a gentle
man, to discontinue his offensive atten-
tions May grew red in the face and
wanted to fight then and there. There
was no blood spilled because of interior
ence of others
May kent up his visits to the American
girl, and she came to Col. Cody one after
noon crying and said that May was be-
coming so offensive that she could not
longer bear him. At this Col. Cody wrote
May the following:
Il will whip you on sight"
The men had not met in nearly seven
years, but Col. Cody started in to keep
his word, and would have succeeded if
the people present in the restaurant had
not got between them. The girl over
whom the tronble occurred is good
American girl, in whom Col. Cody had no
other interest than that of friend.
