such diseases than the general bedside
practitioner. The field Of medicine has
become too extended for man to hope to
master it in every one Of its details

BulIet-Proof Cloth.

Secretary of War Lamont has directed
the military attache at the Berlin en-
bassy to procure quantity of the fabric
from which Herr Dove, the tailor, makes
the wonderful bullet-proof coats that
have astonished the German and other
military experts. The American war de-
partment has become interested in the
bullet-proof cloth, and may adopt it. 1t
is said the stuff is too heavy to be used as
a material for full uniforms, but vests for
men and coverings for the vital parts of
horses made of it may be added to the
army equipments.
The material of which the bullet-proof
cloth is made has heretofore been held a
close secret; but an Austrian engineer
named Scarnes, who says the idea origi-
mated with him and accuses Tailor DOVE
of having appropriated it, processes to
give the secret away. Scarnes says the
fabric consists of hydraulically COM
pressed hemp, and that it is capable of
being utilized in warfare in numerous
ways. Byincreasing the thickness and
intensffying the hydraulic pressure he
says an armor for ships of war that will
dDSOluJGIS 'l6ly al prOJ6COll6S call DC pro-
| duced. Life boats, torpedo boats and
| launches Of the material would be prac-
tically indestructable by reason of tough
ness and elasticity, besides being much
! lighter than boats of the materials now
in common use.
If Engineer Scarnes is not guilty
| of exaggeratiug the potency of this
curious cloth from compressed hemp
7 it would seem the chances are good for
vegetable fbers to revolutionize modern
warfare. And the question arises, If
hemp is so potent defender against bull
let's, why may not cotton be also? Before
now il has been demonstrated in actual
war, that a breastwork of cotton is eff
fective; and anybody who has tried to
| drive penknife or nail into bale of
| compressed cotton will agree that the
| task is well-nigh impossible Expert
ments may yet produce a cotton fabric
that will hold its own with Scarnes'
hemp cloth as bullet stopper.
