his bed. DIR. Eugene Heermans was
summoned and found Mr.. Ashley in an

TESTING A NEW SHELL.
The IshaEa Projeetlie Astonishes
 Number of Experts


 The first considerable quantity of high explosive to be fired from an or dinary gun against armor was sent against 12-ineh Harveyized plate at the Sandy Hook proving grounds re- gently. The proiectile was shell in- vented by Willard S. Tsham, carrying 1291a pounds of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded a little more than 1000 pounds. It was fired from an or dinary 12-inch sea-coast defense gun, with reduced charge, so that the velocity of the projectile at the plate was about the same as if it had been fired with full service charge of pow der at distance of two miles. The plate was backed with square oak beams and 20 feet of sand The beams were so arranged as to represent more strength than the ordinary framing be- hind the armor of battleship. To make the test conform yet more to the I condition of firing against an armored battleship, the plate was set at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of fire. There is no form of armor-piercing shell made that will perforate Harvey ized armor plate set at that angle, aud it was not expected that the Isham shell would penetrate it. In fact, there was considerable diversity of opinion as to just what it would do, and a good many persons were interested in the results of yesterdays test. There was still doubt as to what had happened when tho testing party started for the scene of the explosion from the firing point The thick, dark smoke from the explosion of the shell showed that the full energy of it's contents had not been developed, owing to an imperfect detonation. If perfectly detonated, a perfectly white smoke is made, Tn spite of the imperfect detoh--.I the plate of armor was dented in about two inches and was blown through it's oak backing and through a corner of the big sand pile, F feet from where 1t had been set up.-New York Sun.

How Their Status Is Defined In Regula-

How Their Status Is Defined In ReguIa-
 tions of the Game.
 Most timely of the definitions Is that touching the status Of the golfer em- ployed in mercantile houses selling sporting goods According to ths re- vision, stockholders in such establish ments. salaried people connected with them or writers on golf are not made professionals unless they use the game or the scene of it for the purpose of ex- plotting their business. Which means that the salaried representative or member of mercantile firm who drums up business on the links. or the reporter or owner of a paper who fre- quents tournaments to secure subscrip- tions, becomes ineligible to amateur tournaments. And that is quite as 1t should be. Golf has suffered from the invasion of drummers in the guise of sportsmen. On the other hand sports men have suffered by the indefinite wording of the rule on this point; so f is satisfactory to have the rue clear and fereible. Another excellent and equally needed provision Is that dis qualifying for the championship those who have played in any golf tourna- ment under an assumed name. Few realize how important Is this provision, since it touches the very essentials Of amateur sport. In keeping with the wisdom that prompted this ruling is that other rll1e claSsinp as nrofes- sional in golf whosoever may be classed as professional in any other sport Harper's Weekly.

LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go ts
 Waste. &

waste 2
 A singular and but little known in- dustry is carried on in this city in the sale of oyster and clam shells. says the New York Tribune. The q, lers in this commodity pursue their calling in so transformations a way that it attracts no attention. From the eat ing houses where oysters and clans are consumed the year round the shells are collected by persons who either carry on that business for them 4lyes or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. It seems incredible how large an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the conglomeration
 sa and foreign matter that is un- o4y collected with it, and appar- eLt5T amalgamates without destroying the characteristics of the harder ma terial. Seeing number of carts loaded with shells moving toward the same point would induce the supposi- tion that more reclaimed land was being filled in with material that would exclude the possibility of such land ever being used as 8 market garden; or it might be taken for granted that another dump heap was allowed in some of the still unoccupied upper west side lots. But if curiosity should lead to investigation it would be found that the carts were bound for a big yard at Fifty-fourth street and the North river, where they deposited their loads. Every autumn the yard is so filled up that a considerable hill of shells is formed. This being excayated from the bottom as loads are again carried away leaves the mass with the appear ance of having been geologieat1y formed, and offers a curious sight to the uninitiated. How the shells are used is one of the most astonishing things to those ignorant of the value of the material for anything except filling in streets and making beach drives, such as that one famous in the history of Savannah But this shell suffers a curious change. It is sold to the gas-works and is used as purifier.
