At the session of the Board Of
Education, Professor Richards Of
the Kamehameha schools made
statement in regard to the stand
ing of those obtaining Normal
certificates from that institution.
He wished the Board to examine
into the studies required and de-
termine whether they were not the
equal of those in the Government
Normal School. Ii so, the holders
of Kamehameha certificates should
be placed Oh an equal footing with
the holders of Government certi-
ficates. He was even willing that
Kamehameha Normal pupils
should take the same examination
as the Government schools.
1t was decided to keep as many
rooms Of the Night School open
during vacation as the attendance
justified.
Mrs. Fraser was appointed to

Mr.. Meyer, the Hawaiian Govern
ment has lost an officer whose
services were invaluable, while the
Hawaiian people have lost wise

Resolved, That we, the Com

hereby testify our high esteem for
his character, and tender to his

were about the same, as can be seen
where the shell struck in the lower
right hand corner.
In the fifth round the prcjectile failed
to perform it's mission, but exploded
just after leaving the gun. This was
due to the fact that the dynamite had
been submitted to the freezing process
only about one-half the time Of the
others.
For the sixth and last round a cast
iron shell was used on account Of the
larger shell chamber, allowing a great
er charge Of dynamite. This time 11G
grammes was used in the charge. There
was decidedly good explosion fol-
lowing the contact with the plate and
the target was thrown down. The shell
being Of cast iron, however was pow
erless against the steel plate, and only
splash marked the spot where it
struck, somewhat more pronounced
than If the shell had been charged
with powder.
This concluded the experiments, but
they were Of sufficient moment to at

BY 1T.
Recent Experiments Have Demon
strated Its Entire Prnctica-
biIity.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the event
of any serious unpleasantness with
Spain, a new dynamite projectile has
recently been invented which would
cause the warships of that fiery little
nation considerable inconvenience to
say the least.
1t Is shell the most remarkable fea-
tUre of which is that it contains frozen
dynamite and will not explode until it
pierces the object at which it is fired.
Another entirely new feature of this
destructive missile is a slow burning
fuse sufficiently insulated from the
charge to prevent premature explo-
sion while the shell is traversing the
designated distance. Just what can be
accomplished and the terrific amount
of damage which would result to any
enemy by means of this new addition
to our armament can be slightly
comprehended by a glance at the &C
companying illustration, which is a
photograph Of a target after expert
ments with the shell, charged with
dynamite.
The target was of steel, three inches
thick, but the explosion of the pro-
jectile was sufficient to turn back the
edges of the holes into jagged
wreath. The inventor of this new type
of proiectile is James K. Blackwell,
patent attorney, of Pittsburg, Pa.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-08

giving, all being familiar with the dan
ger of handling dynamite under any
conditions. The HotchlkiSs 6-pounder,
a rapid fire gun, rested on a recoiI
mount. A large 3-inch steel target
was placed exactly 100 yards distant
from the firing place. The cartridge
used had been reduced, being charged
with only 700 CANNES instead of the
full service charge of $40 grammes.
This test was to establish standard Of
comparison. In this instance a common
al'mor-piercing steel shell was used. 1t
was loaded with, powder simply, and
fused. AS the party felt assured they
were working on perfectly safe ground
in this case there was no hesitating
in pulling the trigger of the HotchkiSs
The gunners aim was excellent. The
shell pierced the target almost exactly
in the center The difference in effect
on the target between the powder shell
and the frozen dynamite projectiles fol-
lowing was very marked, as is shown
by the illustration. The hole where
the shell penetrated the steel is COM
paratively clear and clearly cut, while
the remainder are considerably torn
and turned by the explosion. The ini-
tial velocity Of the missile was measur-
ed at I $50 feet per second. When the
party repaired to the target the point
of the shell was found to project fully
three inches beyond the rear SURFACE or
the plate, while the base was at least
an inch from the face of the target.
The fuse had blown out Of the shell.
The preparations for the second round
were gone about with more caution.
This was in reality the beginning of the
experiment. as the frozen dynamite
was used. The gunner did not relish
the idea of standing too near the piece,
so a line was attached to the trigger
and he stood some distance in the rear
with the remainder of the party to be
safe from recoil or premature explosion.
All the firing conditions were precisely
the same as those in the first round
except that the frozen dynamite was
substituted for the powder used in the
first shell. Exactly fifty-five grammes
of dynamite were used. At the signal
the trigger was pulled. The shock Of
the firing was extremely severe as the
gun is what is known as very high
power one. The mass of dynamite
was so small, however, that it could
not be estimated to what extent larger
masses could resist the firing shock.
When the party had recovered from
the shock and proceeded to examine
the result they found the target
pierced in the lower left-hand corner,
a short distance from the edge. The
shell, as in the previous instance, had
pierced the target completely. The
point was prOtruding an inch beyond
the rear surface. The burr around
the hole was turned back enough to
fully demonstrate the power Of the
missile. The face of the plate or tar
