Dove hopes to place before the
British military authorities one

For the purpose of the first ex-
pertinent the cuirass was fastened

Hunt, who provided both The rife
and the ammunition. A slight
movement of the cuirass was
apparent as the bullet entered it.
but it was clearly shown that the
bullet had not passed through
and that it remained embedded
in the material. Three more
shots were fired from the temper
airy platform situated at a distance
of about Is yards from the OBJ
jeetive mark, two of them being
from the German Government
rife. and in each case the result
was the same, the audience
warmly applauding the perfor-
nance Captain Martin pur-
posely aimed at different points
each time, with the object of
showing that the material was of
the same resisting material
throughout. Then he mounted
to the grand circle of the theatre

it over to the marksman ready
loaded. In al seven shots had
now been placed in the cuirass,
which on being, exhibited,
showed on its front seven distinct
bullet holes, the reverse side
being absolutely intact. thus
providing beyond a doubt tina
the bullets remained in the
material. Lord Methuen now
demanded that Captain Dutton
Hunt should himself be allowed
to fire at the cuirass, and after
some demur, owing, it was said.
to misunderstanding of the
demand, Captain Hunt fred a
eordite charge from bis Lee
Metford rifle into the material at
n yards distance. with the same
triumphant result as, before, so
far as the bullet resisting power
OF the cuirass' was concerned.
Then Herr Dove donned the
cuirass himself, AMI presented
his body to be shot at, but this
exhibition proved too much for
section of the audience, who pro-
tested that an experiment on the
human subject was not necessary.
As compromise, a horse was
brought on to the stage, and the
cairass fastened round the
animals ribs. Captain Martin
fired a shot from the Lee Metford,
and the only result when the
shot struck the cuirass was that
the horse plunged slightly, bat
betrayed no more excitement
than might have been expected
to be produced by the mere re-
port of the weapon. Herr Dove
again offered himself as target,
but this was objected to, after
which the exhibition terminated,

We received last week a lot of
wire clothes lines that hold
washed clothes without using
pins. 1t is a sort of double wire
arrangement and the pieces are
held in between; the harder the
wind blows the tighter the pieces
are held to the line. There is
absolutely no danger of the
clothing being torn as there is
nothing sharp about the line.
While the cost is trife greater
than rope, this new style will
last so much longer that it is
economical to buy the pinless
line.
