BORED BY A CLAY PELLET.
A Hole Quickly Made In q Sheet of Iron
nm Inch Thick.

M Inch Thick.
A curious illustration of the power of
light matter to perforute harder substances
when driven at - high velocity is men
toned as having taken place in the Royal
arsenal ut Woolwich, England, lately. In
the course of experiments on firing gas in
mines, conducted BY Captain Cooper Key,
r. A., under the homo office spccial gun
is employed to do duty for u bore hole with
charge of high explosive, and pressed
cylinders of gray dry clay, , inches long
and 7-S inches in diameter, nre used to
represent tanping. These shots are made
to net i'll various mixtures of air coal
dust, gas, etc, and to stop tho course of
plug, etc. Eventually n cast iron target
plate an incll thick was placed 25 feet in
front ut an anglo of 45 degrees, in order
to break UP everything into dust and
throw it upward.
After three or four shots with this ar
rnngcncnt tho clay plug, weighing tx
ounces, perforated the inch iron plate,
and the hole thus made has steadily ex-
tended since Tho familiar tnllow candle
passing through II door must hide its head
before ~ ounce plug of clay perfor;lting
an iron plate an inch thick ut an anglo of
45 degrees Doubtless the velocity must
be tremendous. 1t is pointed out that the
velocity for a hard cylinder Of this weight
and size TT cut through one inch of
wrought iron at rs degrees would be over
l, 500 foot seconds. With cast iron and
clay and the three or four repeated blows
everything is SO greatly altered that there
is little more to be said than that the cf-
feet is remarkable and unexpected.

Several of us had been at Gibraltar

by tho Spanish commander, who did the
honors finely One morning we rode out

Kitian horsemen. They were fine looking

We were amused some time by their
charges and cvolutions. They would
throw their swords and mntchlocks in the

infallibly. Finally it was announced that
something of unusual interest would be
accomplished. One OF the men produced
a needle and piece of thread, possibly 2

finally wheeled his horse and remained

the needle and thread waved them in his

"The Farm and Ranch," published
at Dallas, Texas, says: In vegetable
life, rapid growth is tender and sue
culent, and readily succumbs to
drouth or frost. Tho monarcbs of
the forest which flourish for hundreds
OF years, develop SO slowly that the
growth OF a year can scarcely be de-
tected by the naked eye. It is thus
with towns and cities, rapid growth
is followed by anequally rapid decay.
Slow and steady growth alone is dur
able. The worst enemy a town ever
had is the boomer As an illustration
OF this, we do not have to travel from
home to see fine residence property
that at any time for five years past
could be bought for less than the
improvement cost.
