EXPLODING SHELLS
Experimental With by the Or
dance Department Officials.

New York. July ll-Ofhcers OF the ord
nance department q. s A. conducted
three separate tests today at the PROV
ing grounds at Sandy Hook. The tests
consisted OF the throwing Of a high ex-
plosive, the firing Of new high exp,os-
i've and the testing of a steel tower aud
range finder. All were accounted success
ful. The tests were the elimination Of
experiments which have been carried on
for some time 10 determine whether or
not high explosives can be thrown whit
safety from ordinary service arms. The
experiments OF this nature were con-
Quoted by the board Of ordnance and for
tihcation of which General Miles Is the
president.
The first trial was that OF the isham
system of throwing This consisted In
the throwing OF ll3 pounds OF explosive
gelatine from the ordinary service gun.
The Isham diaphragm steel shells were
used TIE gun was l2-lnch or the service
pattern, and the charge consisted Of 4lb
pounds OF brown powder At nrst the gun
was fred out TO sea. Il was placed at
| low angle. The shell strueis the water
| three times, proving 10 the officers that
| in case tho shell struck the water before
Striking the mark tho charge would not
| explode. Four charges OF explosive gela-
tine were next fred from Sims-Dad'ey
powder pneumatic gun. These charges
were fred in safety and were a success i

The greatest interest OF the day h7w-
ever. was centered about the expert

thorite was thrown both out 10 sea am

strated that, while the effects Of the eN
plosion are terrific, Il can be used 10
ordinary guns and fred through stee
plate without IL exploding. The thorit
was placed in service shells ana wa
