Of the raVine so that the second test
which It is proposed to make in the
presence of President Diaz, could be
made. He also sent a squad of men
over to the foundry for the two com.
paniOn shells to the one that had been
fired.
When MIR. lsham returned to the city
he reported to Minister Clayton the
success of the test, and invited him to
witness the second trial. He also told
General Clayton of his desire to fur
nish the American government with
the secret of the mechanism of the
she'll so that the war could be brought
to speedy close. General Clayton
promised to attend the coming trial,
and said that if it was successful he
would give Mr.. Isham a letter to the
secretary Of war at Washington rec
ommendlng his invention.
The Importance of Mr.. Isham's in
Yention can be better understood when
it is stated that warship such as the
st. Paul even, provided with these
shells would become at orce far more
terrible engine of destruction than the
Oregon, or even the Vesuvius. The
shells are fired from any of the ordi-
nary guns and with ordinary powder.
The only secret consists in the mechan-
ism of the shell and the manner of load
ing the same, and this, Mr.. Isham says,
any man of ordinary intelligence could
learn in ten minutes. 1t would look
very much as though Mr.. Isham can
claim the honor of having solved one of
the hardest problems in gunnery that
has puzzled military men for the last
decade.
The Importance of firing dynamite
from ordinary guns has long been ap-
preciated. The complicated machinery
required to fire the high explosive by
means Of compressed air in dynamite
tubes such as are used on the Vesuvius
is entirely too cumbersome, and in adj
dition the range is comparatively limit
ed. Many attempts have been made to
neutralize the force of the explosion of
the powder on the dynamite while re-
tanning all its propelling force on the
shell itself, but they have been made in
vain.
Chemicals have been tried in combi-
nation with the dynamite such as would
render the explosive inert during the
time that it was being fired, but active
again at the time of impact, and even
the freezing of the dynamite has been
tried, but all these tests have failed
until now. Load a rapid fire gun with
these shells and no battle ship however
thick her armOr, no fort however i'm
pregnable, no army however numerous
would last five minutes after the range
had been obtained.

Last Band Concert Of the Season.

The last band concert of the season
has been given and now comes the
winter. That last concert came near
being postponed from last evening 10
some other time, and would have but
for the Electric Road waiting room.
The lights in the band stand would not
burn for some reason, and what is a
concert without a light? The band
went to the piazza of the Electric Road
waiting room, where they gave as good
4 concert as has been heard this
season.
The attendance was quite large, and
many were standing about when the
band commenced to play, thinking
some means would he devised to play
in the stand They We're surprised
When the music was heard coming
from the waiting room. Some suggest
ed that the problem of the band con-
certs of the future without the use Of
the band stand on the park was solved.
The concert was a good one, and
many expressions of regret were heard
from the people that there were to be
no more The evening was as good as
any enjoyed during past summer

urine stains linen. these are all sure
signs that the kidneys and bladder are
affected.
There Is a cure for these troubles, and
