EXPLOSIVE TESTS AT THE HOOK,
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS WITH DIR. TUT
TIES THORITE-LEWIS DEPRESSION
RANGE FINDER TRIED.

Officers Of the Ordnance Department con-
ducted several tests at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds Yesterday. and said last night that
they were successful The first test consisted OF
throwing a shell loaded with explosive gelatine
from an ordinary service gun charged with
cunpowder The gun used was a 12-inch rife
and the charge consisted of 415 pounds OF brown
powder. The Isham diaphragm steel shell placed
on top OF the powder contained 1l3 pounds
of the high explosive. The gun was pointed
out to sea and fred at low elevation The
shell struck the water and bounded into the air
without exploding. This It did three times be-
fore it sank proving that in case the Shell
strikes the water before hitting its target the
charge will not explode
The second experiment consisted of firing ex-
plosive gelatine shells from Sims-Dudley
pneumatic power gun. Four were fired In SAFETY
The greatest interest Of the day. however
centred about the experiments conducted
with DR.. Tutte's new explosive, thorite'
great deal has been published about the power
OF this explosive, and the officers were reticent
last night about the result OF the test The in
ventor was present and personally assisted In
the firing Of the charges. The thorite was
thrown both out to sea and through steel plate
Its inventor had declared it could be hurled
from ordinary guns through steel plate without
exploding. and that it would not go off except
by fuse.
The thorite was placed in service shells and
was fired from an S-inch gun. The bursting
charge varied, but when the armor piercing
shells were used the charge consisted OF about
twelve or thirteen pounds Of explosive These
shells were fired through AZ inch steel. and
while the plate was shattered the charge did
not go of.
The next 10 be tested was q Wears Sons x
Maxim howitzer. 1t was fired four times with
service charges. It's makers say 1t is capable
of firing fifteen shots a minute, but no speed
test was made yesterday.
While these tests were going on. special
board was conducting experiments TO hnd out
the trustworthness of the Lewis depression
range finder and locator. They wanted 10 find
ont II this delicate instrument would be affect
ed by the blasts Of the big guns fired in the
same locality. The tests were also to find out
II the range finder could be used from the iron
tower at the Hook. This tower stands about
one hundred yards from the battery of 12-inch
guns This battery was fired twice. and the
range finder was not affected by the concussion

Weeds and MIX.

An article in The Farmer and Stock
Breeder of London says: The plants
which may be considered good for feed
Ing cows Win give us no trouble: but
these are commonly associated with
others which are mischievous. The
true grasses and leguminous plants
may cause changes in milk quality by
their many mixtures, proportions, and
growth, but they will not interfere
with the dairy processes, or give to the
product i'll qualities The miscellane-
Gus plants. which may be considered
weeds, include some which are danger
Gus to the health of the COW; others,
more numerous. which favor milk un-
desirably; and few which color milk,
or produce Irregularities. To these
causes of mischief must be added those
arising from the plant diseases OF a
fungoid nature. Do cows eat any appre-
cfable proportion of such plants? The
oocasions known may be few in which
the mischief Is recognized and traced
to some particular plants, but such do
not occur often enough to MAKE the
matter one OF great importance; and
we believe that very considerable
amount of harm is done daily by such
weeds as are incapable OF giving a dis
tinctly bad flavor to the milk, but In
their many kinds combine to give one
generally inferior. What is the cure,
Clean pastures. II weed is a pest In a
corntield, it is a much greater one in
the case before us, where it not only
takes the place Of better plant. and
binders the superior growths around it,
bEt actually does direct damage to
the dairyman's goods. Weeds are the
natural and almost inevitable conse-
quence Of neglect. There are few pas
lures which can be kept sweet and free
from such trouble by the mere force OF
natural conditions. Draining and man"
uring can do much in reducing the
miscellaneous plants to small numbers
and the more innocent kinds, and q
constant war against them should be
maintained.

The strawberry Leaf Roller.

From Farmers Review: The work
Of this insect was very noticeable In
the strawberry patches during the past
summer. In many instances where
the attacks OF the insect were pro
longed, large numbers of plants were
killed through the loss OF their foliage
Quite often the strawberry patche'
had the appearance Of having beer
scorched in spots by fire. In Kansas.
there appear to be three distinct
broods during one season; each sue
ceeding brood becoming more numer-
Gus, and consequently more destruc-
tive. The following observations were
made during the past year. On June
IA the first brood of adults commenced
to appear, and continued to emerge
till the oath; on June % eggs for the
second brood were being laid; bn
June "a the second generation tof
larvae or worms were commencing TO
hatch out; by July 25 many of the
larvae were in pupal state; from July
Il to August 10 the second generation
of adults were emerged; on August

numbers; by September many OF the
larvae were going into the pupal
state. At present We have no new
remedies to suggest aside from those
usually given. Paris green applied Ia

Food That Absorbs Odors
New York Tribune.

Flour should not be kept in q
storerOOm or pantry where there is
cooked food, as it readily absorbs
odOrs. Ignorance of this fact
accounts for poor bread oftener
than an inferior quality of flour.
Articles of food that are made OF
gclatine or of milk should always
be kept covered, us both milk and
gclatine relliteral scavengcrs of
the air, and absorb not only odors
but germs. Neither cheese, cab
bage, fish nor baked beans should
ever be put into the refrigerator
They all leave an odor of which
it is difficult to rid the refrigerator,
and they also flavor the food.
Butter should be kept in a tightly
closed jar, If any is left over ON
ii plate it should he covered.
