A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Startling Result of Firing a Cannon
Buried Under Water.

The most curious experiment ever
made with piece Of ordnance was at
Portsmouth,, England. A stage Was
erected in the hsrbor within the tlco
mark; on this an armstrong gun of the
ITO pound pattern was mounted. The
gun was then loaded and carefully aimed
at target-all this, Of course, during
the time Of low tide. A few hours later,
when the gun and tie target were both
covered with water to a depth of six
feet the gun was fired by means of elec-
tricity. We said aimed at target,
but the facts are that there were two
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 25 feet from the muzzlc
of the gun. 1t was composed of oak
beams and planks, and was 81 inches
thick.
In order to make the old Griper in
vulnerable, sheet of boiler plates 3
inches thick was riveted to the water
logged hull, III direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take if
not DETECTED by the water. On al Of
these-the oaken target, the boiler
plates 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 iron target was broken into pieces
and driven into its backing" the bail
passing right on through both sides Of
the vessel, making huge hole, through
which the water poured in torrents.
Taken altogether the experiment. was
an entire success, demonstrating, as it
did, the feas; ;bility of placing submerged
guns in harbors in time o. war and Go
ing great damage to the vessels which
an enemy might dispatch tosuch points
for the purpose of shelll0g cities.-In-

RELEASE OF + GYPSY MOTH.
A Careless FreMchsnan's Experiments Have
Led to Trouble.

On certain i'll omened day in 1869
a gentle breeze rippled through The
streets Of a quiet town in eastern Massa-
chusetts. 1t left chimneys urharmed
and hardly ripplcd q tree. yet if it had
been a cyclone it could hardly have done
more damage, for III q bare little frame
tenement house on a side street stood
Pandora's box full Of troubles waiting
to be spread broadcast over the land,
and the breeze furnished the needed
key. Presently the owner Of the house
and Of Pandora's box, 4 Frenchman,
known to his neighbors for his curious
experiments i'll silk raising ard for his
absorption in the study Of strange in
sects, was seen searching anxiously i'll
the grass outside his window. People
who saw him said that he seemed much
disturbed at the failuR CT his quest.
Well might he be, for Ec had just let
loose one of the plaques of Egypt upon
a fair and fertile land. He had lost ''le

Mr. Srouvelot, the silk grower Of
Medford, can hardly expect to have his
name pleasantly remembered among
his quondam townsmen and country
men, but he should be given credit both
for intelligence to foresee the conse-
quences Of his negligence and for the
candor immediately to give notice of
the danger to which the public was ex-
posed. But his warning fell or deaf
ears. No one realized that the pest,
which is a nuisance rather than dam

MRS. SARAH b. COOPER.

The death of Mrs. Sarah b.
Cooper of San Francisco was one
of the saddest and most distressing
events that has been chronicled III
the history of California III many
a day. Mrs. Cooper has appeared
prominently in public life in many
capacities, and her action has at
times called forth sharp criticism,
but In whatever light clashing fac
tons of ecclesiastical faith may
place her work In the church, the
free kindergartens Will stand as a
lasting memorial of this noble
woman. Her work was primarily
among the children of the poor,
and no child of the street was too
dirty or too degraded to be brought
into the kindergarten and be taught
lessons of obedience and cleanli-
ness.
More than $4,000 children have
been trained and sent out from the
free kindergarten of the Golden
Gate Association of San Francisco,
and not one of all that number has
ever been convicted of a criminal
offense. When it is remembered
that these children were brought
from the haunts of vice and crime,
and that before they were taken
into the kindergarten they had
seen nothing of the better, SUMMER
side of life, it seems little less than
miraculous that such clean record
can be shown. The police are wit
nesses of her good work, whose in
fuence extended from the children
to the parents, and many home
in the lower parts of the city has
been made brighter through the
lessons learned by these little saw
ages of the gutter"
Mrs. Cooper believed that the
children should, be made happy,
and that in seeking happiness their
little minds should be led in the
pathway of pure and holy ideals.
Her faith in her work was nm
bounded, and it was this which car

THE CABLE.

1t Is gratifying to note that Col.
Spalding has begun his fight IN the
United States Congress for the Pa
cific cable early in the session. Ne
also note with pleasure that he
brings out prominently the Japan
extension which was presented to
this Government by John W. Eos
ter. What Col. Spalding's chances
for success may be it is impossible
to tell 80 far removed as we are,
but it Is apparent that his old enc
my, the Atlantic cable combina-
ton, Is in the field and in a meas
IRE the old battle will be fought
over again. We have no reason to
believe that Mr.. Spalding has been
asleep during the recess, and it Is
to be hoped that his management
Of the cable campaign will soon
begin to produce successful results.
Although the proposition to
grant a long term exclusive fran
chise to the Japan line did not meet
with approval here, the discussion
of the matter brought out the fact
that Hawaii will not be parsimOnl-
ous toward the man or men who
approach this country with def
mite proposition without the con
ditions of possible subsidies to be
obtained from other countries. Let
the United States, or Japan for
that matter. do It's share IN assisting
the project; let Col. Spalding or
anv other man come here with
positive assurance that other inter
ested nations will grant concessions
sufficient to guarantee the cable;
then Hawaii can be depended upon
to grant all reasonable protection
against competitive schemers, and
add a generous subsidy besides. 1t
is no reflection upon those whom
NIg. Foster represented that they
didtn get what they asked for,
and they have undoubtedly made
stronger their position with Hawaii
by turning their faces upon the
United States, in whose wake this
country will be well satisfied %
