Explosion OF n Gun Cotton Shell at the
Indian Head Proving Grounds.


Indian Head Proving Grounds.
Washington, June i4.--The state Of
Maryland trembled last evening as the
result Of an explosion OF $50 pounds OF
gun cotton at the government proving
grounds at Indian Head. A l2-inch
breech-loading rifle weighing l0l 900
pounds and worth $40, 900. was blown
20 pieces. The armor-covered bomb
proof" in which the spectators take
refuge while tests are made was wrecked
and dozen naval officers and ordnance
experts narrowly escaped with their
lives. as
The final test was being made OF
gun cotton shell invented by Chicago
man, and through some unaccountable
accident the shell exploded in the gun,
wrecking the monster and its carriage
and throwing someaof the pieces more
than mile down the Potomac.
Colonel O'Neill, the chief Of ord
nance for the navy, and several United
States naval officers and naval attaches
from the various foreign legations had
fortunately taken refuge on navy
yard tug about mile from shore.
Lieutenant Anderson, who had been
directed TO fire the gun by electricity
when the signal was given from the
tug, had gone behind big earth bank
or butt about 800 yards from the
gun. He and other spectators were
unhurt, though massive piece Of the
gun, weighing many tons, few through
the air with frightful velocity and
struck the water within 100 feet Of the
tug.
II the spectators had gone into the
"bombproof. as they usually do, when
such tests are made, they would all
have been killed, for big piece of steel
struck it and ripped through the l2-
inch armor as II it had been SO much
paper. A great hole was torn in the
ground where the gun stood and the
buildings at the proving grounds were
badly shaken. Not a particle OF the
massive gun or its carriage remained,
This was the largest charge OF gun
cotton ever fired or attempted to be
fired from powder gun. The govern
ment paid about $40, 900 for the gun
blown up, and il was built especially
for these tests. A shell shot from this
gun was expected to perforate 81 inches
of steel at distance of 1000 yards and
to travel from six to ten miles before
losing Its momentum.

ing, and before he became prominent as
an aerial navigator he based his claims to
fame on his ability to put up 100 pound
dumbbell and like athletic feats.
At present Professor Barnard is the
physical director of the Y. NJ. @. A. gym
nasium at Nashville. He was born in
Massachusetts in 1865, and ever since he
was sohoolboy has excelled in athletic
sports. He attended a military academy
at Albany, but did not graduate. He made
his first athletic record when he was 16,
running half mile in geo. A year later
he was made captain Of the Albany Ath-
letio association, and at the age of lS was
engaged as instructor in an Albany gym
nasium.
For short time ho gave up athletics
and engaged in business in Montreal, but
In 1888 he became interested in the work
Of the Y. NJ. G. A., and later accepted a
position as physical director of the associa-
tion branch at Tonawanda, n. Y. He also
held similar positions in Auburn, Me-,
where he acted as local secretary, and
at Pawtuoket, r. /. Later he was sent to
Nashville. Some of the athletic victories
for which he wears medals were the win
ming Of three hour go-as-you-please race
at Albany and the five and ten mile cham
piOnships at Montreal in 1888. In tho
same year he was one of the winners Of
the cross country championships Of Can.
ada, when the teams broke all records, He
once walked 200 miles through New York
state in five days.
In the meantime Mr.. Barnard has been
busy inventing mechanical appliances Of
various sorts and he has long had an idea
that he could make a successful airship
As boy he was counted by his friends as
a mechanical genius. Fully ten years ago
he had an outline of the plan on which his
present airship is built, but it was not un-
til about year ago that he made con-
tract with the Centennial Exposition COM
pany TO build and operate one. He was
thoroughly confident that he could sue
coed, but even his warmest admirers did
not expect him TO take such daring flight
as he did on his first venture.

Mrs. Emily A. Strope widow of the late X. NJ.

who has been, and is now one of this city,

Strope, who has lately recovered from serious
cardiac difficulty, when questioned by re.
porter regarding her late illness, stated as
follows:
"Two years ago, had my first experience
with DIR. Williams Pink Pills. For long
time was troubled with an ailment which
feared would eventually drive me crazy unless
rid myself of it. II will sound strange, no
doubt, to some, but my heart did not beat as 1t
should. Its action was irregular. There
would be twopulsations, or perhaps three, and
then q sudden cessation. Myheart seemed to
rest for the period Of one or two beats, and
then resume its action. Sometimes such
lapses would not be so frequent as that, but
scarcely day passed that they did not occur.

heart with great force, and push 1t out of
place. During that period, whenever ] lay
down to sleep or rest, my hands would become
perfectly numb and helpless. could feel the
temporary paralysis coming over them, but
could do nothing which would prevent it. My
feet were affected in like manner, and ] had
considerable difficulty in walking when such q
spell had possession of me. Naturally that

FOR A JEWISH STATE
PROGRESS OF zloNlSM AMONG THE
HEBREWS OF THE WORLD.

DR.. Theodor Herzl Enthusiastically Pro-
noting a schems to Form a Syndicate
of Wealthy Jews and Buy Palestine-A
Universal Jewish Conference mt Munich.
Once more the Jews have raised the old
cry of "On TO Hionp' The scheme of col
lecting homeless nation and settling 1t
permanently in ancient Palestine Is very
old one, but of late it has been revived and
just now 1t is being energetically doomed
by few enthusiasts
1t is proposed to hold universal Jewish
conference on Aug. 90 in Munich. There
will be present not only the leaders of the
movement, but delegates from every land
that contains Jews The promoters Of the
scheme intend to form definite plan at
that meeting for the establishment of a
Jewish state in the Holy Land. When their
plans are all prepared, they expect Jews TO
come from al quarters of the earth.
Much of this revival of Zionism, as
the movement is called, is due to DR.. Theo-
dor Herzl. He is an Austrian of note,
and, although on this subject he is an en-
thusiast, he is also man of great practi-
cal ability, skilled organizer and an i'm.
pressive speaker. Associated with him in
nent men of the Hebrew race in Europe, in
cluding famous rabbis, mill. naires, phi
losophers and statesmen. Such men as
Baron Edmond dc Rothschild, Claude
Monteflore, Rabbi Hildesheimer, Max
Nordau, the author, and many others are
favorable TO Zionism.
DIR. Herzl has gone about the enterprise
In businesslike manner. He has inter-
ested and secured the favor of monarchs
and gentle statesmen in the scheme So
cured the cooperation of trusted assist
ants in many countries and formed propa.
gandst societies wherever possible In o
recent speech he hinted that he had Sc
cured an interview with Abdul Hamid II,
and that the Turkish sultan, of whose en-
pire Palestine is a part, is willing to grant
concession for the founding Of u Jewish
state there. It is not proposed to ask that
Palestine be given TO the Jews, but that
IL be sold to them for their occupation,
and that while the new state shall bo an
independent country, it shall remain un-
der the suzerainty of the sultan.
An account of u recent trip made through
Palestine by n committee composed of cul-
tured Jews has also been made public by
DIR. Her2l 1t reports that the present con-
dition of thJ land, which has remained
unchanged for ages, Is deplorable, but not
hopeless.
"We can make it productive" says DR..
Her2l "by the labor of the masses which
we shall lead there 1t is our immediate
duty to make workmen of tho Jews al.

JOHN BRYAN OF OHIO.
HE PLANS IAN OASIS IN THE DESERT
OF PESsIMlSM."

Diversified Intensive Farming TO Solve
Some Problems of Modern Life and
Make Agriculture Pleasant and Profita-
bIe-Details of His Scheme.
John Bryan of Ohio is a man Of wealth
snd ideas. He is also philanthropist
Of very practical kind. In his big
heart there is love for his fellow man,
in his active brain there are plans for
lettering the conditions of those around
him, and in his capacious purse there
are dollars with which to put these
ideas to the test.
So Mr.. Bryan hunted through the
Buckeye State until he found big
farm suited to his purpose. He has
bought it, and upon its broad acres he
intends to create what he fanCifully
calls ian oasis in the great desert of
pessimism. 4" The method by which he
intends to produce this oasis is by the
introduction of diversified intensive
farming"
Riverside farm, which Mr. Bryan
has bought, is one Of the most beautiful
pieces of farm property in Ohio. 1t
consists of $50 acres. OF these 100 acres
are park land, we'll wooded and pleas
antly sprinkled with hills and valleys,
rock and stream. The remaining 200
acres it is his purpose to put under a
high state of cultivation. For this pur-
pose he is to select number Of intelli-
gent men and women. To each one Of
these he will give a department and a
certain area of land. The departments
already decided upon will be, besides
farming proper and all that may come
under that head, bee culture poultry
raising, a vineyard, the raising of cat
tie and swine, trout pool, 6siry, car
penter, blacksmith and wagon shop,
cooking and housekeeping, mushroom
growing, fruit canning, lime kim,
stone quarry, and clay, sand and gravel
pits for eXcavating and building materi-
al This is where the diversity comes in.
The intensive part of the farming
will be developed by having each de-
partment in charge Of an individual
who will make that particular work u
specially. Thus the man who has charge
of the bee culture will be expected to
devote himself to this branch of the
business until he has become skilled
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-05-27

apiarist. In short, the heads of each de-
partment, having time and opportunity
to study their work, ought to become
experts and be able to get much greater
returns from their efforts than the or
dinary farmer who knows how to do q
lot of things fairly WELL but is seldom
expert in any one agricultural line.
Mr.. Bryan is to furnish the capital
and the land for the farming opera
tions, and the heads of the departments
are to have all the profits from their la.
bors, paying only the interest on the
capital invested. Cottage life will be q
feature of Che Riverside farm, and a
number of buildings are already plan
ned. By such means as these it is hoped
that agriculture may be made both
pleasant and profitable.
1t will be seen that there is no social
istic element in this project. 1t is not
to be made q modern Brooke Farm. The
community will not endeavor to become
independent of the state, but to form O
creditable factor of it. There will be no
sex distinction at Riverside farm, for
Mr.. Bryan, though bachelor himself,
is an enthusiastic admirer of woman
kind and firm believer in her ability
to make her own way.
No more charming place in which to
try such an experiment could have been
found than Riverside farm. 1t is situat-
ed near Yellow Springs, Green county,
o. The 100 acres of park land lie on
both sides of the Little Miami river. In
the center is a spacious, comfortable
residence known as the Mansion House
In front of the house is driveway
which leads into natural highway on
the top of a ridge 100 feet above the
river. This avenue is quarter Of a
mile long, and at its end, directly over
the bank of the river, there is sharp
curve in the bluff, which forms a nat
ural amphitheater. At the foot Of the
bluff is sandy beach, which forms an
ideal arena.
The whole park has been thrown
open to the public and is to be i'm
proved so that it may be used for pic
MICS, conventions and the like. At the
entrance to the park Mr.. Bryan has
placed large sign which bears the
words: "Welcome. Please keep your
horses off the grass" On the reverse
side of the signboard is painted, Come
again and bring the peace of liberty,
justice and gentleness with you"
Besides being a capitalist and philan-
thropist, Mr.. Bryan is an author of
some note. Two years ago he issued a
unique volume, entitled FABLES and
Essays" Robert G. Ingersoll pro.
nounoed the fables as good as those Of
Esop, which is high compliment. Mr..
Bryan made his money in Cincinnati,
where for many years he was success
full business man.
