BULLET-PROOF CLOTH.
Has Serious Limitations, Even
When Successfully Tried.

The recent tests of the newly invent
ed bullet-proof cloth at Fort Smelling
demonstrated that the new army rifle
bullet, which can bore a man clear
through at a range of two miles, and
pierce armor-plate, was fattened
against the cloth at 400 yards. At
200 yards the bullet pierced four layers
of the cloth. The inventor is SAN
guine Of securing the same resistance
in one layer of the cloth which is now
possessed by five layers.
Should he do so, the cloth might be-
come of some service. as a protection to
the individual soldier in battle, but not
very much, unless a stiff and light
backing for the cloth armor can be in
vented which would take up the impact
of the bullet and distribute it over a
sufficient surface to prevent injury. For
suppose the cloth lying loosely against
the body, should a bullet strike it, even
though it could not penetrate the fab
ric, it could inf1ict a blow that might
be fatal. The cloth at the point OF
impact would be driven against the
flesh with such force as to make
wound something like that made by
spent bullet, only much more severe. If
such a blow did not kill, it might paral-
we The blow delivered by a pugilist
with his gIoved fist does not cut like
the blow of the naked fist, nor does it
penetrate, but it is disabling if it
reaches a vital point. The blow of
bullet, representing so much more force
against a smaller surface, would be
much more disabling.
But if the bullet-proof cloth We're
stretched over substance of sufficient
ffrmness to take up and distribute the
force of the blow, serious injury might
be avoided. 1t would seem necessary
to still expose the soldiers head, al
though it is possible that a light he'll
met might be constructed which would
protect everything but his eyes. The
armor would not, of course, be effective
against artillery, but as most of the
wounds and fatalities in battle are in
fifcted by small arms, the use of the
bullet proof cloth, with an effective
backing, might perhaps reduce the
losses in action by a considerable per-
centage. The cloth could also be used
to advantage in constructing tempor-
ary forts and breastworlxs, and other
defenses, provided it meets the claims
made for it.-MinneapolisT Tribune.

WAS the gun loaded?"

Immortal White City.

South of the Worlds Fair wooded isle,
The weeds grow rank and tall;
There palaces, erst beautiful,
Are 1eveled, one and all;
No more the swift electric launch
Glides DER the fair lagoon,
The lights are out, the pageant past,
Like night succeeding noon.
The Caravels rock idly now
BY the deserted shore,
The crowds that scanned them have gone
by,
To come there never more.
The glory of the world adorned,
That gala city bright,
Few are the tokens that are left,
Metropolis of White!
Aladdin's dream refused to stay,
But memory's magic lamp
Above that ruined site will play,
Where nations made their camp.
Legend and brush will do their part,
And in their wondrouS light,
That bivouac of transcendent art,
Will wear immortal white.

PUBLIC OPINION.

When we made laws against Chi
In the case of Hawaii it must be
conceded that while the particular
treaty of Hawaii with Japan may no
longer hold ss treaty OF the United
States, all the rights OF Japanese
subjects already acquired under the
treaty will be entitled to protection.
The Japanese contention that the
treaty entered into, subject to
mutual abrogation, must continue
in force until she assents to its an
nulment is less well-founded. Treat
les once executed and carried into
effect are irrevocable. But all other
treaties are necessarily OF uncertain
and contingent duration. Treaties
which are declared to be perpetual
May be broken within year. Mr..
jays famous treaty with Great Bri-
tain provided in the strongest terms
Ior perpetual peace anu anlty pe-
tween the two countries, but that
did not prevent war from following
in 1912. 1t is a fundamental prin-
ciple that treaties intended to be
operative in the future continue to
be binding only so long as the con-
tracing parties and conditions re-
main the same. With the disap-
pearauce of Hawaii as an indepen-
dent State her treaties as such would
disappear with her. Only the rights
acquired under such treaties would
remain and would demand recogni-
ton and protection, aud this, we
take it, is the extent of Japan's
claim.-Baltinore Sun Und)

The INDEPENDENT rejoices at the
arrival OF Senator Morgan and the
members of the Congress who came
with him, 1t is a good thing to
have Representive men here to see
the land and the people that the
jingoes OF the United States would
annex. The selection of Senator
Morgan by the Hawaiian annexa-
tionists is happy one, and we trust
that they will give the Senator
opportunities to meet all classes
and conditions Of people in Hawaii.
Senator Morgan is too old and OK
perienced to be caught with chat.
He is also receptive man, one who
measures men intuitively and sim
gularly independent character. He
has the courage Of his convictions
being able to say what he thinks to-
day, even though it contradicts what
he said yesterday. Evidence Of this
courage was displayed in the matter
OF the Paris arbitration tribunal. In
this m tier he represented the United
States, voted for the protocol and
signed the award. Upon returning
to the United States, instead OF de-
Tending his own act and the decision
OF the tribunal he denounced it
Hawaiians have much to hope fol
from such fearless character. The
Annexation Club should be prepar
ed to stand from under.
