BULLET-PROOF CLOTH.
Successful Test of ZegIen's Invention
at Fort Sheridan.

CHICAGO, Aug. n.-At Fort Sheridan to-
day a test was made of the bullet-proof
cloth invented by Casimer Zeglen, the
Krag-Jorgensen rifle being used. The test
was a triumph for the cloth, and the Off
GERS who were present declared that the
cloth had fulfilled all the claims made for it
by the inventor. The test was made under
the personal supervision of Col. Robert
Hall, of the Fourth Infantry, the COM
mandant of the post A piece of the cloth
fifteen by twenty-four inches and one and
a half inches thick was stretched across
one of the ordinary silhouette targets rep
resenting the figure of a man standing. The
cloth was composed of five layers of equal
thickness, the weight of the piece being
about eight pounds. The firing began at a
distance of four hundred yards the first
bullet striking squarely in the center of the
cloth. The bullet went no further than the
first layer OF the cloth. 1t was picked out
with the fingers, looking very much like a
small toadstool. At three hundred yards
the bullet penetrated to the second layer of
cloth, but was smashed out 0f shane. At
two hundred and fifty yards the second
layer was perforated and the third pene-
trated. At two hundred yards the fifth
layer of the cloth struck. The officers
present admitted that the bullets were
stopped but say the cloth in it's present
shape is too thick to be of any service to a
soldier save as q shield.

ELWOOD, Ind, Aug. n.-To-day marks
an important epoch in the history of Amer
lean tin-plate manufacture and establishes
beyond doubt the fact that
this country from now on will sup
ply the world with tin plate. The Amer
lean Tin-plate Company of this city to-day
shipped a carload of the best tin plate
which Yankee skill can manufacture to
italy, and it will be followed by many
others to that and other foreign parts that
are being opened to the importation of
American tin plate. The car contained 800
boxes OF the most expensive tin plate that
can be manufactured A similar order from
England is now being filled and will be
shipped to that country the latter part of
this week. 1t is said that this is the first
tin plate ever sent from America to foreign
parts and proves that Wales and England
are no longer able to compete with America
in the manufacture and sale of tin plate,
although the industry is but five years old
in this country. The first successful tin
plate factory in this country was put in
operation in Elwood in July, 1892. The plant
was then four-mill industry employing 800
hands. Now there are eighteen mills, with
q large bar mill in connection, and when
ployed in the factory. Under the Oiaglty
tariff the phenomenal growth of the tim
plate industry in America will be turthtr
augmented and from now on it will be one
of the leading industries in America The
volume of business is increasing rapidly
here and trade has a healthier tone than
at any other time during the past four
years. The tin-plate factory is operating
day and night with 400 employees and the
plate-glass plant is working steadily with
700 hands. The bottle factory is running,
something it never before did at this time
of the year. The radiator and iron foundry
are both operating full time and are six
months behind in orders. The window-glass
house will start the first week in September
and the two lamp chimney factories will re-
sumo the latter part of this month. All the
lesser industries are operating full time
and full handed. There is no mistaking the
fact that times are growing better in FL
wood and that business is steadily and per-
manently increasing.

THE TERROR" At WORK.
'"Teddy" Roosevelt Deals a. Blow Mt
Red Tape i'm the Navy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. n.-Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt has dealt red tape a hard
blow. For some days he has been in con-
sultation with the commanders of the tor
pedo boats, and the result became apparent
to-day when he issued an order that re-
duced at one sweep the number of reports
required to be made by these officers from
about 2l7 to about thirty-two, and of these
thirty-two not more than ten are required
TO be made regularly. Heretofore the cap
tain of a little torpedo boat had TO make
exactly as many reports as the commander
of a big battle ship; telling how every lot
of coal burned; how the dynamos ran
every week or month; how often paint was
used, and a hundred such things. This took
up so much time that Mr.. Roosevelt who
is determined to make the torpedo hottila
a really important and formidable branch
of the navy reduced the reports to the
simplest form and thereby enabled the Off
GERS 10 devote their time to their boats
and their running.
