A NEW PENETRATING SHE'LL.
1t Is Fired Clear Through a Seven
Inch Piece ot steel.

/ Washington, D. c., Feb. 26-Sur'
prising results were obtained &. &
test Of shells at the Indian Head
proving ground yesterday, and il
these shall be confirmed by further
experiments our navy. which already
possesses the best armor plate in
the world; Will have by far the best
armor penetrating shells, and both
of American invention. What was
done yesterday at the proving
grounds was to fire a cast steel shell
of six-inch caliber entirely through
seven.inch Harveyized nickel steel
plate. through the heavy oak back
ing and twelve feet into the bank of
clay behind. This performance has
never been equalled by any proiec-
tile of like caliber in the world.
When the johnson shell slipped
SO easily through a plate of known
high quality the experts yesterday
doubted the evidence before their
own eyes and Immediately took
steps to assure themselves that the
result was not accidental. To this
end one of the Wheeler sSterling
shells, all steel armor piercers of the
best quality, and equal to the best
European she'll, was selected and
fired at the same velocity at the
same plate. 1t was smashed upon
the face of the place after slight
penetration, just what was expected
from this caliber of shell when fired
at seven.inch plate. Then another
of the Johnson shells was placed in
the guns and fired at the plate. The
result was almost precisely the same
as with the first shot; the plate was
penetrated with the greatest ease,
and the shot was almost unscathed.
The naval experts are much, pleased
with the test. They say that these
cast steel shells can be made for
much less than the expensive forged
steel armor pierced shells, that they
can be made much more quickly and
that they appear to be superior in
every respect. Further experiments
will be made with them.
