A small hole very close to the center
mark showed how accurate was the
marksman'S aim. This concluded the
trial, and Mr. Lennard left after receiving
the congratulations of the spectators.
Before going be explained that the coat
was only side issue of a more important
invention.
"For this coat" said he. 81 only claim
that it will stop lead bullets. Against a
steel bullet it would be useless. This is
only made for exhibition. My original
idea, which I shall present to the United
States government as soon as ! can get it
patented, is a composition shield some
thing on the order of this, but capable of
stopping any projectile ever fired. 1t is
to be used for armoring ships, and will be
not only much better protective mate
rial than steel plates, but lighter as well,
and the ships armored with this will be
much more seaworthy than those
weighted down with the heavy steel
plates. Moreover, experiment has shown
that the newest proiectiles go right
through the heaviest armor plate. 1 claim
for my invention that it will absolutely
protect a vessel against any projectile."
How did you happen on this mate
rial2" reporter asked Mr.. Lennard
'Armor for ships has been a favorite
subject of study with me for years" re-
piled the inventor. l have been at work
a long time trying to devise something
better 5than steel plates, and a year
and half ago this idea came to me 1t
was suggested in curious way l had
set my son up in a shooting gallery bust
ness on Fulton street, and he had trou-
BILE in getting anything that would stop
the bullets. The boards that he put up
would soon have holes shot in them. AS a
stable adjoined the gallery in the rear
there was danger of his having to pay for
dead horse some day. Finally, after
he had taken away considerable of my
building wood, he came to me and asked
if ] couldn't fix something that would
stand up against those bullets and last.
There was a marble yard right near US,
and | got some boxes. filled them with
chopped marble and marble dust, and set
them up back of his targets No bullets
got very far into those boxes. From that
l got the idea which l Incorporated into
my armor coats and this bullet coat"
Mr. Lennard declined to go into any
description of the armor, on the ground
that it would betray his secret to the
public. He will apply for patent on it
soon. He hopes to have it adopted by the
government military and marine service
for both land and sea defense, but it is
chiefly intended for ship armor. Mr.. Len
nard is 40 years old and an American,
having been born in New Jersey He has
invented several contrivances, including
a stone-cuttlng machine.

This is what it purports to be, namely:

early colonial to living writers. 1t is a
Very attractive volume in appearance,
containing $50 pages. The typographi-
ga work is excellent and the illustra-
4ions, of which there is a large
hUmber, are very satisfactory. The
work is not an ambitious one, but of its
value and usefulness for the purpose for
which it is intended, there can be no
question. 1t contains brief sketches of
american authors-those dead and those
Aylng-and of many there are portraits.
he sketches are full enough to
give a very fair idea of
each author, the character of his
work, his relative merit and

who have not time TO give for thorough
study of American authors, and yet desire
70 have some knowledge of them, will find
n this work Just what they want. Miss
Rutherford has done her work conscieu-

Long Farna in Maine.



Maine has probably many oddly shaped
farms, but we doubt if one can be found
more peculiar in form than that in the
east part of Dexter, formerly owned by
the pioneer blacksmith, Elijah w.
Sprague. This was eight rods wide and
a half mile long with the highway cut
ting IL at riRht-angles into unequal por-
tions. The inconvenience Of so narrow a
farm, with pasturage and woodland at
one end, is obvious to any one, but in this
form il has continued from the days Of
the forefathers TO the present time in use
as a farm all the time. A farm only
twenty rods wide and about half mile
long was IN use great many years near
Pennington Falls, and may be 50 used
yet for all the writer knows. but the
Dexter farm beats IL by nearly two-thirds
for narrUwness and general oddly.
Farms Of this shape are numerous In
Canada.
