SHOOTING THROUGH STEEL.
Tests Which Are Being Conducted by the
Cramps an the Lewis Farm.

Tests Which Are Being Conducted by the
Cramps an the Lewis Farm.
The futility of piling steel armor
plates ON war vessels is being demon
strated at the new testing ground Of the
Cramps. There at intervals Of few
days conical stee4 shells are fired through
four inches of solid steel armor plate
with as apparent ease as though the
plates were the flimsiest cardboard. The
range is on the Lewis farm, above
Wheatsheaf lane, along the Delaware
river. The shells, which are inches in
diameter and 10 inches long, are forged
from the finest hardened steel and fitted
by the Cramps for use in the United
States army and navy, and it is to test
the quality of the steel in different lots
that these experiments are being con-
Quoted.
A heavy abutment Of railroad ties has
been erected as fender to hold bank
of earth, and in front of that is placed
heavy oak plank box feet square and
10 feet long, which is filed with sand.
Against another fender in front of this
box is set up one of the armor plates,
such as are used on the armored cruisers
and battleships now being built. One
hundred feet distant from the plate is
the firing house, plank building about
80 feet long by 10 feet wide and double
lined to deaden sound.
Two inch rapid firing briggs -Schroe-
der guns are used in the test When ev-
erything is ready for firing, lanyard is
passed out of the back of the building
and through an aperture in a pile of
heavy spruce joists, the gun having pre-
viously been sighted.
When the gun is fired, the wall of
steel is pierced by the projectile, leaving
only fringe around the hole where the
shot passed out ON the opposite side. 1t
is then sought for in the sand in the box
and examined closely as to condition.
OF course the shell is not charged, or
it would explode and blow up the box
and all around after going through the
steel. Not all the shells fired at the steel
armor plate go through it, and this is
considered sufficient cause for condem-
nation Of that batch of projectiles. The
experiments are all conducted by the
Cramps regular staff of ordnance Off

ROYAL German Dinners.

a characteristic of all dinners given to
the court and military officials by the en-

meats, which holds as well pictures of
the royal pair and their children. each
bonbon having a likeness painted upo
it. And when the hosts retire there is
something approaching scramble among
the dignifed officers and fuDctionaries
for one of these much valued souvenirs
to take home to equally eager wives and
daughters.-New York Times. /

Bull fighting has invaded France. One
of the entertainments of Easter Monday

Concerning Mr.. Gilbert's Employment
Agency.

Mr.. Gilbert, whose employment agency
has been under discussion somewhat OF
late, states that he believes he is doing a
perfectly legitimate business morally and
legally. He says that every applicant at
his agency is given card. which bears
a definite and clear contract. Under this
agreement the applicant deposits a
certain specified sumsof money with the
agency. If the agency secures him work
within three months, this money be-
comes the agency's. If, on the other
hand, work is not obtained half the sum
is returned to the applicant on presenta-
ton of his card. Mr.. Gilbert says he
never guarantees job to any man. He
merely agrees to be diligent IN searching
for one, and he says he keeps men con-
stantly employed for that purpose. II
the facts are as Mr.. Gilbert states. them,
we see no reason to fird fault with his
method.
