At CROSSINGS.
street Railroads Have Come tn nm
Understandings

WI nile no regular agreement has been
entered into between the Commissioners
ana the railroads using rapid transit con-
corning the regulations governing the
street crossings it is understood that the
companies have agreed among themselves
ul on set of rules which are now in OPERA
tlcn.
MAJOR Powell stated to a reporter of The
star this morning that the Commissioners
hau not come to any agreement with the
railroad companies The police rep,,Ia-
lions We're explicit on this subject They
required every train to come to a stand
still before attempting to cross. When
ever this was violated the company was
liable to prosecution. He Thought this
regulation might be amended or modified
by the Commissioners if the roads agree
among themselves as to which one should
have the right of way.

PASSING SHOT AT LANGTRy

Maurice Barrymore's reputation for re-
partee is almost as great as his fame as an
actor. Once when he was acting with
Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily saw fit to
resent the applause that he was winning,
and violently attacked his conduct as a
gentleman. "Did you never meet LADY,"
she demanded of him Mt the end of her

. CANNoNAD1NG UNDER WATER.
An Interesting Experiment With Sub
marine Gun.

The most curious experiment ever
made with piece of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an Armstrong gun of the
110-pound pattern was mounted. The
gun was then loaded and carefully aimed
at q target, all this, of course, during the
time Of low tide. A few hours later,
when the gun and target were both COW
cred with water to the depth of six feet,
the gun was fired by means of electric
ity We said Gained at target" but
the facts are that there were no targets,
but only one was erected for this special
experiment, the other being the hull of
an old vessel, the Griper, which lay
directly behind the target, and in range
of the ball. The target itself was placed
only twenty-five feet from the muzzle Of
the gun 1t was composed Of oak beams
and planks, and was twenty-one inches
thick. In order to make the old Griper
invulnerable sheet OF boiler plate three
inches thick Was rivetted to the water
logged hall in direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take IL
not DETECTED by the water. On all Of
these-the oaken target, the boiler plate
and the old vessel hull the effect of the
shot from the submerged gun was really
startling. The wooden target was pierced
through and through, the boiler target
was broken into pieces and driven into
It's backing" the ball passing right on
through both.sides OF the vessel, making
a huge hole, through which the water
poured in torrents. Taken altogether,
the experiment was an entire success, de-
monstrating as it did, the feasibility of
placing submerged guns in harbors in
time of war and doing great damage to
vessels which an enemy might dispatch
cities.
