sive gelntin. was made at East Island,

Elwell.
In the first test five projectiles were
Cred in rapid succession, the projectiles,
Weighing sS pounds and containing about
13 pounds of the explosive, being thrswn
a distance of from three quarters Of a
mile to a mile and quarter.
Tho second test, however, did not re-
suit so favorably, for during target trial

standing In semicircle behind it, oscap-
ing only by miracle One man. a spec
tator, was badly cut by piece of the
