get was consideTa bly, SCARED from the
pieces of shell carried forward. Alto
gether it proved to the party the abso-
lutte practicability of the patent pro-
jectile for the purpose intended.
In the third round a full service
cartridge of $40 grammes was used.
The initial velocity attained was cal
culated to be 1850 feet per second. The
amount of dynamite in the charge was
increased to 721a grammes. AS before
the shell had no fuse. The shock and
explosion did not vary much from the
preceding one. The shell struck the
target in the upper right-hand corner,
midway between the center and the
angle. The point and shoulder Of the
shell were lost in the backway Of the
target and the plate was again SCARED
by the pieces carried forward.
The fourth round was a repetition OF
the preceding one, except that the
shell charge of frozen dynamite was in
creased to Sc grammes. The effects

these were charged with frozen dyna-
mite packed in the cavity Of the shell.
The sixth shot was fired with only a,
common shell charged with frozen dy-
Mantle. The whole principle therefore
rests upon the freezing OF the explo-
sive.
The purpose of the test, as the in
Ventor stated, was to demonstrate that
the shells could be safely fired from the
gan under the most rigid conditions
and that they would penetrate the
plate before exploding. Mr.. Bake
well was SO delighted with the success
Of the tests that he is now arranging
fer further experiments to determine
the destructive effect of dynamite
against armor plate and Notifications.
Besides the inventor, number of
army and naval experts were present
at the trial. and the unanimous verdict
was that it was eininentiy satisfactory
III every manner, and Mr.. Bakeweii
was heartily congratulated at being
able to thoroughly establish his theory
at the first practical test,

pertinent it was not without some mis-

weather we have until the last day out.
The lake to which we were going may be
the remains of the old river bed but the
river has not been high enough during the
last two years to get into it. The body of
water is perhaps one and a half miles long
and 25O yards wide at the widest place, and
varies in depth from two feet to fifty feet
1t is a famous place for fishing and hunting

monster catfish, with now and then an alli-
gator, while the surrounding forests and

we gradually left behind the white settle
ments and drew nearer and nearer to tho
abodes OF the plantation darkies. Forty years
ago these immense fields, as level as a floor,
were under high cultivation, and the remains
Of the old-time 'big houses" are still to be
seen. Then the owners OF these fertile lands
lived on them, worked them with slave labor
and grew rich; now they have moved to town
the lands are uncultivated under the so-calIed
tenant system, almost entirely by negroes.
The result is a steady deterioration. The soil
Is literally cropped TO death. Where were
great fields of cotton and corn forty even
thirty and in places, twenty years ago, are
now wastes Of broom-sedge, briaRs, canes and
worthless pines. Of one fine plantation Of
$500 acres, barely 300 are now titled and
even this portion exclusively by negro ten
ants. The rent per acre varies from 81 to
81 Some Of the land is extremely fertile,
producing bale of cotton per acre and from
fifty to seventy-five bushels of corn We
hunted wild turkeys and squirrels in thick
woods that thirty years ago were in a high
state OF cultivation, and of the negroes

and the coon. Where are the people whose
brains once cleared these lands and brought
them into great productiveness? Most of
them are dead and the remainder with their
children have moved to town" In the re-
gion where we were camped there were, per-
haps, not more than forty white people to
1000 negroes, and this exodus of the whites
has resulted one might expect, in radical
changes, not only in the cultivation Of the
land, but also in the type Of negro remain

There is nothing new in the shape
of the she'll. Mr.. Blackwell states, but
he is now working on a different style
from that Of the ordinary shell in use
at present.
An experimental test Of the new pro-
jectile was made a few days ago, and
on this occasion the shells used were
of the usual type. Neither were there
any new features in the gun employed,
which was an ordinary SiX-pOund
navy gun, or siX-pOund breech-loading
rifle as it is more technically termed.
The tests were made at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head, Md, and
were conducted by the American Ord
nance company, of Washington, D. c.
Six shots in all were fired. The first
five were with the ordinary six
pound armor-piercing shell. Four OF

he said, land the satisfactory results
obtained, I think, would warrant their
being carried out on a much larger

Yesterday, while cruising in the neigh

OF Captain Ginger, OF the tugboat Holy

scene, the captain and crew of the
Holyoke were rewarded with the spec-

fleet of Indians on one side and IL large
whale on the other. The Indians
handled their canoes well, and from
every point of the compass an attack
was being made, harpoon after harpoon

monster, which lashed the waters hiph
