When Mr.. Tilden was occupying the
gubernatorial chair OF the State of
New York, and had under considera,
ton the appointment of a judge. a
friend of Judge Peckham, who was a
candidate for the place. was urging the
judges claim, and besought the as
sistance of a lady. who at that time
happened to be a visitor at the guber,
national mansion. Although at that
time everything seemed reasonably to
Indicate the appointment Of Judge
Peckham. the lady assured her gues-
TONER that his candidate had no
chance whatsoever. Sure enough. an
other man was appointed, and in the
course of time it came about that Gov-
ernor Tilden learned of the surprising
presCience of his fair guest. He asked
her how she was able to divine his in
tentions so clearly in regard to this
particular man. why" she said,
that was not difficult. You brought
him home to dinner one day, and that
of itself made me suspect. Then at the
table you set before him your choice

that moment that he had no chance Of

Present-How Army Officers Study the
Science of Killing
Wars and rumors of wars have brought
the army and navy Of the United States
within the focus of the public eye. Ord
nance, armor, propectiles, torpedoes,
niokel-steei bullets, magazine guns and
smokeless powder have been active COM
petitoTs OF the X-ray and Cookies tubes
during the last two months. Armor
plates have been turned into targets for
the purpose of testing the resisting quail
ties of the plates and the smashing, pene-
trating abilities of the projectiles
Army and navy officers have been
shooting off big guns and little guns
and figuring out initial velocities, trajec-
tories, striking force and gas expansion,
so that the war and navy departments
may know exactly what they may de-
pond upon should war be declared.
The latest reports from tho Indian Head
testing ground indicate that the men
who make projeotiles are ahead of the
men who make armor plate, for the
milk CAM shot have smashed the Har-
veYized steel plate. The great bullet
went through the thick plate as clean as
whistle, leaving round, smooth hole
to prove that an American has made a
! projectile which can go through any ship
afloat

sharp point. The result exceeded his
anticipations, for the huge bullet went
straight through the plate.
