A TEST OF SHELLS.

Washington, d. c., June 24.-The Ord
nance Bureau of the Navy Department
has made test at Indian Head of the
bursting character of armor-piercing
shells. Six-pound shells of this kind
were fired at plates one, two and three
inches thick, some with regulation fuse
and others without fuse. All the shells
pierced thearmor and all exploded after
going through. There as no percepti-
BILE difference in the explosion of the
shells without fuse All the shells
might have been exploded by the con-
cussion or friction of the shot going
through the plate. The shells exploded
within a foot of the plate after piercing
it. The test was satisfactory to the
officers.

A FILlBUsrER SCHEME.
r-,,.s Said to be Plotting Against the

EyfIR -
Hawaiian Government.
Can Francisco, June 24.-Attempts
have been made to organize filibuster-
inc eyneditions in this city to go to
Tenolulr and overthrow the govern
mani Exiles are said to be the prime
movers in, the plot. Capt. F. Lupp, of
This citv. is said to have been recently
annroacbed by a man named Stewart
and asked If he. would go to the islands
as a master of a schooner carrying arm
ed men and a Cargo of guns, ammuni-
ton and dynamite bombs. The terms
offered Capt Lupp were $4,000 down
and $4,000 if he succeeded IN the dan
gerous work. He was also. told to IND
a fit vessel and report upon the lowest
cash price of it. That is the story Lupp
has told.
AS the story goes Stewart said that
friends of the exile colony in this city
have put up big sum Of money for
filibustering scheme, and that an agent
had bought supplies of war material in,
the East These purchases, unlike
those which went to Hawaii to be used
in last years revolt, were of first-class
arms and ammunition. The other time
money had been wasted in buying light
carbines and revolvers, which were no
match for the Winchesters and Lee
magazine rifles of the government
troops
The present supplies, so Stewart said,
were of dynamite bombs, long range re-
peating rifles of 40 calibre, Colts army
revolvers of the latest pattern, and a
battery of Hotchkiss and Maxim guns
with rounds enough for each piece TO
turn the Paradise of the Pacific into the
inferno of the Western hemisphere.

Doubtless there are more heroes in CON-
mand of sea going vessels today than ever
before in the history of the world. Never
theless it is noticeable that of late there
are frequent reports of cowardice on the
part of the officers and crews Of ship
wrecked craft OF the large number that
were consigned to watery grave by the
terrible disaster that recently occurred in
the gulf of Spezia, but three of the crew
were drowned, the other fourteen includ-
ing the captain saving their lives. The
steamer Terrier which arrived at New
York, Tuesday, brought news of the run
ming down and sinking of schooner, and
that the captain of the schooner was the
first man to leave his sinking ship, and
walked up and down the deck wringing
his hands, while the steamers crew were
trying to rescue the drowning. A Brit
ish steamer was wrecked the other day on
the coast of Brittany. The captain and
crew saved their own lives leaving passen-
gers to die like rats in cage. The
sailors of today are not of as good material
as In the days when it was the common
thing for man to work his way from the
mast to the captaincy.

Ginseng In China.

The greatest care is taken by the Chinese
of the pieces of ginseng of the finest quail
ity. NJ Hue says that throughout China
no chemist shop is unprovided with more
or less of it. According to the account
given by Lockhart, medical missionary in
China, of IA visit to IA ginseng merchant, it
is stored in small boxes lined with sheet
lead, which are kept in larger boxes con-
tanning quieklime for absorbing moisture.
Tho pieces of the precious drug are further
inclosed in silk wrappers and kept in little
silk lined boxes. The merchant, when
showing a piece barred of its wrappings to
Mr.. Lockhart for his inspection, requested
him not to breathe on or handle it, while
he dilated on its merits and related the
marvellous cures he had known it to effect.
The root is covered, according to quality,
with the finest embroidered silk, plain cot
ton cloth or paper.-Chambers Journal.

She evidently knew too much to wait.

The Chicago Times Herald has been APP
plying DR.. Caesar Lombroso's methods
for diagnosing the abnormal, including
the criminal, to the Chicago city council.
1t finds that three are prognathous, and
that a majority have that tendency; that
at least twenty aldermen are platycepha-
lous or fiat headed; that majority have
sessile ears; that about 40 per cent have
retreating foreheads; in short that the ma
jorlty are either markedly or nearly allied
to the criminal types. All this may not
be so bad as 1t seems. The test to be ap
piled to the members of a municipal gov
eminent, as to other people, is the record
of their deeds Unfortunately this is the
test that too many of them are not equal
to. However. the Times Herald doubt
less succeeded In amusing its readers at
the expense of the platycephalous, prog
nathous aldermen who, it is said, also suf-
fers from hypertrophy of the masseter. But
these officials must long since have had
their sensitiveness to ridicule atrophied.
