A BULLET-PROOF CUTRAss.
Frenchman's Invention Not Pene-
 trated by a Mauser Bullet.

Paris, Feb. 15-Remarkable eZperi- ments with new cuirass constructed by French inventor named Threaud were made at Asnieres, four miles from Paris, on Tuesday. The essential portion of the cuirass is a sheet of metal, the composition of which is 8 secret. The plate is fitted with an inner and an outer lining, the nature e of which is also a secret. The manner in which the Things are fitted is said to add to their impenetrability
 The weight of the cuiTass is about pounds IA ounces. A Mauser rifle of of six-millimetre calibre was employ ed in the test at 3 distance of severity yards. The shot struck the cuirass in the center. The front Of the cuirass was found to be torn, but the indenta- lion of the metal plate was very slight while the back lining was intact.
 ''In a word" the report of the ex- Deriments says, the impenetrabtlity of the cuirass was proved to be per feet"

BENCHES FOR CONGRESSMEN
A Move Toward Carrying Out Reed $
 Plan Of Removing inc Desks.

Washington. Feb 15.-Rep~esenta- tive HCatwOle has introduced into tn house a joint resolution authorizing the architect of the capitol during the recess of congress to alter the hall Of the house of representatives and the lobby, together with the seating heat ing, lighting. and ventilating arrange mentS Of the house. The resolution apprOpriates $1G0, 000 for the purpose.
 The resolution is the outcome of the effort of Speaker Reed to put into exc cution his long cherished plan of re- placing the chairs of the house with benches like those of the English par Iiament. The committee on ventilation and acoustics has been considering the matter for some time and has given several hearings on the subject. Archi- tect Clark has prepared elaborate plans fer the alteration of the arrangements for heating, lighting and ventilatirg the house in accordance with MT. Reeds ideas, and they have been adopted by the committee.
 There are over $50 members of the house, and at present each has 9 desk As the number grew larger, the desks were placed closer together. until at present almost every available inch Of space in the chamber is occupied. The
 
 the railing is very limited. There is no doubt the introduction Of benches would give much more room.
 The principal objection to the desks is that their presence hampers the transaction Of business in more ways than one. The members use their desks all day. writing and reading at them, and not only is their attention distracted. but great deal Of c0nfu- sion results It is almost impossible to maintain order for any length of time unless a ve-y important debate is on, and Speaker Reed often exhibits inapatience when he calls the house to order. It is believed if the members have to sit OH benches they will pay more attention to public business and legislation will proceed much more rapidly.
 It is also contemplated removing the heating, lighting and ventilating ap- paraltus from the basement of the cap it0l to the small lot south of the capi- tol grounds, where a suitable building will be erected. This would give con- additional space in the base ment of the capitol.

appearance of having been in the water
some time. but most Of it was new. Moth

No Danger of Strike.

New York. Aug. 4.-There is a feeling
of anxiety among the employees of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail-
road owing to the numerous changes
which have been made by the new man
agement, out there is no likelihood of any
strike, at least until after the company
has made answer to the demand for a
schedule Of wages. rules, etc. which was
presented by a committees OF railroad
men to General Superintendent Russell
several weeks ago. Mr.. Russell agreed
to give the cOmpany'S answer on August
%. He stated that the management
would probably accept some of the con-
ditions named. but would be compelled
to reject others because they We're i'm
practicable,: that the company would
treat the men fairly, and that an ami
cable settlement would be cached.
Pending the c~ompany's answer a truce
has been practically declared, and the
only thing to precipitate a strike now
would be the removal of the men from
the working force of the road.
