TESTING 4 NEW SHE'LL.
The hham Proieetlle Astonishes 8
 Number of Experts.

The first considerable quantity of high explosive to be fired from an or dinary gun against armor was sent against 12-inch Haryeyized plate at the Sandy Hook proving grounds re- gently. The projeetile was shell in- vented by Willard S. Isham, carrying 1291a pounds of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded little more than 1000 pounds. It was fired from an or dinary 12-ineh sea-eoast defense gun, with a reduced charge, so that the velocity of the projeetile at the plate was about the same as if it had been fired with full service charge of pow der at a 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 a battleship. To make the test conform yet more to the condition of firing against an armored battleship, the plate was set at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of fire. IASIH 4S AO AUI u OL dFIDOI~ ~plGIIlL6 shell made that will perforate Harvey ized aruor plate set at that angle, and 1t 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 the 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 detorated, a perfectly white smoke is made. In spite of the imperfect deto4 | the plate of armor was dented in aboqt two inches and was blown through it's oaA backing and through corner of tfle big sand pile, IT feet from where il had been set up.-New York Sun.

FOUR MILLION FOR A YACHT
Huge Fortunes Sunk in Building Stump
 tuous Pleasure Craft.


 The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen at Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. ] will rank only second to the emperor of RIIdssa's wonderful yacht, the Polar s<swhich fs said to have cost close upon { G1,000, 900. Nothing more lavish ly elaborate than the fitting and deco ration of the Polar Star could easily be imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately s100,000 Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons. and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There is a fine library and musie-room aboard and a beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are of the rarest. The Standart, the cZar's smaller steam-yaeht of 4,300 tons, is much more frequently used than the Polar Star. She costs slight ly over $2, 500, GOO. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts afoat. There is accom- modation aboard for crew of 300, twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager eD- press, fine library, billiard-room and music saloon. The dining saloon is paneled in tulipwood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solid sil- yer. There is fine marble bathroom, M h heavy silver fittings, and the walls I'd doors of the principal cabin are deliberately inIaid with ivory and mother-of-pear So many faprove- ments and additions have been made sto her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperor's famous steam yacht, the Hohenzollern. Of nearly 1000 tons, was, considering her beauty and purpose, compara- tiye.v., inexpensive vessel, costing con- si9Sa ply less than s1.00000O She HsB d very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one Of the fastest, smoothest-going yachts a1oat,

TRANSPORTATION OF MONKEYS
Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here Nowadays.

Organ Grinders Do Not Carry Ther
 Here Nowadays.
 A man who had missed the mon keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets, and wh, had attributed their disappearance tC the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels, managed by two persons, for the old fashioned smaller hand-organ, that was carried about by the player, found upon inquiry that, whatever influence the changed conditions might have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by ei.E ordinance. There are, how eve, 9..see5 in which the monkey still fo1I valuable part of the organ grinde- outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing fancy hat, which 1t doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainWater conductors. and hops up on porehes quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu- tions. While monkeys are not per- mitted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ grinders who can use them else where; and Well-trained monkex k0metimes brings as much as $50. IL had seemed, with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the faY appears to be that, if anything, tS importation is just now rather greatA than usual, due to the increased de- mand from the show people, who are, after all, the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; q lew, comparatively, are sold for zo logical collections, and in recent years few have been sold for pets, but Ae largest buyers of monkeys are the Ehyeling shows, of which there are. bsides the great, modern, consoti daed shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the coatry> Take them all together, and thee shows use up good mant nlolkeys.

THE COURTS AND CIGARETTES
Supreme Court of Tennessee Hands
Downs Important Decision.

BY far the most interesting decision
upon the question as to the right of a
State to interfere with interstate conn
merce that has been rendered for some
time is the one recently handed down
by the Supreme Court of tennessee in
Austin VS.. State, 4S s. w. Rep, 800.
The opinion was written by Judge W. G..
Caldwell, and all TO the members of the
court concurred in it.
A statute of Tennessee (Acts 1897, G.
80, sec. y prohibits in that State all
sales of cigarettes, whether manufac-
tured in the State or elsewhere. 1t APP
peared that the defendant purchased in
North Carolina from the American To-
bacco Company quantity of cigarettes
which had been made ny that company
ard by it placed in packages, each con-
tanning ten cigarettes, and piled ON the
floor of its warehouse. Am express com-
pany at the request of defendant took
the packages of cigarettes from the floor,
placed them in an open basket and trans
ported Them in the basket to the de
PENDANTS place of business in Tennessee,
ard there emptied them out of the bas-
ket, and delivered them to the defendant,
carrying off the empty basket.
Thereafter the defendant sold one of
the packages of ten cigarettes IN IenneS-
see, and for so doing he was convicted
Of violating the statute. The Supreme
Court in upholding the conviction took
the positions that o. cigarettes are not
legitimate articles of commerce, and that
consequently their importation and sale
are not Within the scope of the COM
merce clause of the Federal Constitution,
but are subject to State control and pro-
Inhibition; and (2) if they were legitimate
articles of commerce, the sale by the
defendant was not of an original pack
age. and hence was not protected by that
clause of the Constitution.
