A NEW SHE'LL 10 BE TRIED.
W. T. Forbes Says it VIII Destroy q
Fleet.


Walter T. Forbes, OF London. New
York, and Atlanta, has just submitted
to the authorities in Washington
curious looking ten-inch shell which
he claims will destroy an entire fleet
of ships at single shot, Mr.. Forbes
is known throughout this country and
England as chemist, inventor and
mechanical engineer.
In appearance, says the New York
Times, the shell is very much like
gas tank In use at soda water foun-
tain. Indeed. that is almost what 1t is
only, the gas used in this is hydrogen
instead of carbonic acid, and the press
ure per square inch is 5000 pounds
instead of only few pounds per
square inch. The idea of employing 1t
for purposes of war. Mr.. Forbes claims
is original with him. His secret lies
in his manner of exploding 1t.
Hydrogen can only be set of by
fire. No shock or jar will do it. This
fact was difficulty and an advantage
at the same time to Mr.. Forbes, when
the idea of such shell first suggested
itself to him. On account of the tre-
mendous internal pressure he could
not use either fuse or percussion
cap, and ii cost him many weeks OF
thought to solve the problem. He
says he has solved 1t, and solved 1t
perfectly, and that now, II his shell
strikes anywhere in the vicinity OF the
object aimed at humiliation is sure
According to his figures, the 5000
pounds pressure when the shell strikes
is instantly multiplied two hundred
fold, giving the Incredible explosive
force OF 100000 pounds. Mr., Forbes
claims that inasmuch as his she'll
weighs only about one-tenth AS much
as other shells Of corresponding size.
it can be fired greater distance and
at less powder cost He also says the
she'll can be made for about one-twen-
tieth the cost of other shells.
Government experts will test the In
vention, he says, the middle or latter
part of this month. Mr.. Forbes has
received notification to that effect.

of his recent letters to me, showing
that he is abreast of the times, in gen.
eral matters, as well as in those per-
tanning to his business as theatrical
manager: When we learn to respect
ourselves and what we have in as pro-
pCrtionate and dignified a way and

more respected abroad. Admiral Dew

CAMP THOMAS, Chickamauga, Ca, June
4.-So much has been said and written OF

general custom of the sentries on that par
ticu-ar beat, sat down occasionally on a sack
OF feed, with his gun resting on his knees
Maj. Bidwell approached him from the rear

the report that he was asleep on his post.

Gated today with appropriate ceremony
amid the plaudits of thousands of the
states citizens. Gov. Helcemb, and his

the day We're Hon. Constantine J.
Smith, Hon.. William F. Curley. and
Hon. William j. Bryan. - = -,
Mr.. .Bryan's Grafton was notable for
| one thing, his first public declaration
OF the war issue. He took a high
ground or the question, urging that the
war is for humanity, and not for. the
extension of United States territory In
concluding, he said the manifest des-
tiny Of this nation is not to acquire
new realms to govern, but to carry out
the fundamental principles of demec-
racy to the end that equality among
the citizens may be secured. ;.
After discussing the resources of Ne
braska, Mr.. Bryan made the following
reference to the war and its results: !
"Onr nation exhausted diplomacy in
its efforts to secure a peaceful solution
to the Cuban question, and only took
up arms when it was compelled to
choose between war and servile acqui-
essence in crue1ties which would have
been disgrace to barbarism. His
tory will vindicate the position taken
by the United. States in the war with
Spain. In saying this, I assume thai
the principles which were involved in
the Inauguration Of the war will be OBJ
served in it's prosecution and conclu-
| sion. If contest undertaken for the
sake of humanity degenerates into a
war Of conquest, we shall find it diff
cult to meet the charge of added n.y.
pocrisy to greed. Is our national char
acter 50 weak that we cannot with
stand the temptation to appropriate the
first piece of land that comes within
our reach? To inflict upon the enemy
| all possible harm is legitimate war
fare, but shall we contemplate scheme
| for the colonization of the Orient mere
! ly because our feet won a emarkable
victory in the f1arbor Of Maniia?'
