TEST OF suLLEr-PRooF ARMoR

Successful Exhibition Given Of w.
Lennard Foote's New Invention.
A public exhibition was given in the
Twenty-ninth regiment armory in
Brooklyn the other day by W. Lennard
Foote, inventor of "the bullet-proof au-
todynamic armor," and was witnessed
by several foreign officers and others
interested in armor. A Winchester and
Krag-Jorgensen rife were used in
the test and q block of the armor about
2h inches thick was used. A number of
bullets were fred at 1t, but in no case
did any Of them go through or leave q
mark Of entrance.
The inventor says that It is equal in
resistance to three-quarter-inch gun
shield Of hard steel, and does not re-
quire the same amount Of care to keep
it from rusting or scaling as steel does.
Mr.. Foote, after the test had been
pronounced a success, stated that his
invention is about 80 per cent. lighter
in the ratio of resistance than steel for
ships armor shields. When penetrated
by bullets the puncture instantly closes,
thus keeping out the water. The ma
terial. being non-magnetic, according
to the inventor, is especially valuable
for use on the bridges of naval vessels
for shields

CHILD breaches GOSPEL.

Lawrence Dennis Shows Wonderful
Powers for His Years.
Lawrence Dennis, three years old,
preached the Gospel the other after
noon TO as many people as could get
into little house out on Auburn ave-
nue., Atlanta, Ga. He seems like an
ordinary boy, except for his head and
voice. His brows protrude like those
of an old man and his voice is strong
and OF great volume. He can neither
read nor write, but can repeat many
passages from the Bible. These he
learned by hearing his parents read
them. In his part of the city he is rc-
garded as q wonder and people crowd
to hear him. His manner when preach
ing is much the same as that of the
average minister in this region. He
thinks all girls are wicked, and does not
care to join in childish sports. He is
certainly an extraordinary example Of
precocity, but seems to be reasonably
healthy physically. His exhortations
are on orthodox lines, and display only
the teachings and opinions of his pa
rents.

BOTH cREMAToRiEs

Refuse to Handle the Remains Of Theodore
Durrant and No Cemetery VIII Receive
Them.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-There seems
to be no place for the body of Theo-
dore Durrant.
Both crematories here have absolute
ly refused to handle the remains and
no cemetery has yet consented to re-
ceive them. They are still at the Dur
rant house and it looks as though they
would stay there for some time. The
elder Durrant said Sunday:
my efforts to carry out the last
wishes of the dead boy have been un-
availing. The crematories refuse to
take the body and cemeteries are like
wise reluctant. We may ship the re-
mains to Los Angeles and have them
cremated there, or we may take the
body and bury it at sea. We do not
know yet what we can do"

Obituary.

q It is with sadness. I'VE chronicle the
death of James weleon Conway, who
departed this life May End, 1897. He
was born Aug. 5th. 1861, aged 35 years,
months and days. His death was
very sudden and unexpected, and was
severe shock to his wife and friends. He
was sick but q short time, and was not
thought to be seriously i'll. Mr.. Conway
was married to Miss Icie Hamilton, Aug.
31st, 1889, to whom were born two chill.
dren. He was devoted husband and
father and enjoyed his home 90 much
that he is sadly missed. His death is
great loss to the neighborhood in which
he lived, and he leaves large circle of
friends to mourn his loss. He had taught
II schools in all and had the promise Of
the home school for the coming winter.
All who knew him will join US in ex.
tending our sympathy to the wife and
relatives Of the deceased. Bro Conway
united with the M. E. Church in the
year Of 1879, at the age of II. Since that
time he has been faithful member of
the church to which he belonged, and
lived consistent life, such as will rarely
be found, because God had justified him
last winter, during the revival services,
he sought and obtained entire sanctiH.
cation, which he found to be the will of
God.
One smiling glance, one yearning look,
He gave to ell his parting love
Then smiling, smiling, turned and calmly
The angel hand to soar above.

HEAT AS CURE FOR SPRAIN.
California Student Submits to I'm
usual Plan for Treatment.

California Student Submits to un-
usual Plan for Treatment.
E. B. Hinman, sophomore in the
University of California at Berkeley,
has had one of his legs baked in an
oven at a temperature of 300 degrees
Fahrenheit to cure a sprain.
This is SO degrees higher than the
temperature of boiling water, twice the
heat at which meat is ordinarily roast
ed for the table. The sprain disap-
peared with wonderful rapidity. The
injured limb was treated in a specially
prepared apparatus consisting of cop
per cylinder resting on iron supports,
with gas burner underneath. Hin
mans leg was wrapped in absorbent
cotton and placed in the cylinder, with
nonconducting rubber bags closing
the interior so that the heat could not
escape. After three bakings the sprain
was entirely cured.

ON THE UP GRADE.

Prices Of Commodities and Wages
Are Advancing in Japan.
Vice-Consul Sharp at Hiogo has sent
to the state department some clippings
from papers in Japan relating to prices
and labor in that country. The Ko-
kurnin Shimbun says the rise in the
price of commodities becomes greater
and greater every day. Compared with
ten years ago prices have risen As per
cent, while wages have increased 39.2
per cent. The high price of rice has
been severe on the poor.
The Kobe Herald gives some statis-
ties regarding japanese laborers
abroad. In 1896 there were 20,03d
males and 2.263 females. Hawaii and
Russia have the bulk of these laborers.
In 1896 the United States had 10,205
males and 72 females. Hawaii in 1895
had 1,s12 males and 443 females, and in
1896 1850 males and 1853 females.

DIAMOND WORN in HER MOUTH.
Unique Setting in a Front Tooth of a
baltimore Woman.

B0It1mOre woman.
Mis- Florence Hudson, of Baltimore,
is the possessor of false tooth from
which when she laughs or speaks there
flashes the glitter of half carat dia-
mond. The tooth is one of pair of
solid gold ones which were put into the
upper jaw by means of golden bridge,
and the effect is not only startling, but
beautiful.
The diamond is set right in the center
of the tooth, which is large one, and
the Jewel occupies about half of the
front surface. TIE tooth was practical.
ly made around the diamond, which is
therefore visible on both the front and
back of the tooth.
Miss Hudson glories in a set of very
large and white teeth and when she
found some time ago that she would
have to lose two of her front teeth she
determined to substitute them with
solid gold ones. In thinking the mat
ter over, however, gold appeared too
conventional, and she determined upon
the diamond setting as device to take
away the dull effect which two solid
gold teeth would impart.
The dentist declares that he knows
of no one who can boast Of such a tooth
as the one possessed by Miss Hudson.
He said the sensation created by that
tooth has beenwonderful and already he
has had three orders for diamond stud
ded teeth, with more in prospect.
