TESTING A NEW SHELL.
The Isham Projectlle Astonishes g
 Number of Experts.

Number of Experts.
 The first considerable quantity of a 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 projectile was a shell in- vented by Willard s. Isham. carrying 1291s pounds of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded, 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 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. There is no form of armor-piercing shell made that will perforate Harvey ized armor plate set at that angle, and It was not expected that the Isham shell would penetrate it. In fact, there was considerable diversity of opinion as to just what itawould 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 detonated, a perfectly white smoke is made. In spite of the imperfect detol l 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. IT feet from where 1t had been set up-New York Sun.

MORG ENGLISH IRON.
Timely Discovery at Kent In the Dover
 Coalneld.


 When the coal boring was put down at Dover about six or eight years ago. by Alr. F. Brady. on the site of the old Channel tunnel works, there were indi- cations in the cores of the presence of iron ore in the strata between 500 and GOO feet from the surface The indica- tions have now proved correct. says the London Chronicle. In the course of sinking the No. shaft bed of valu- able oolitie iron ore has just been struck at q depth of rather less than GOO feet The seam proves to be no less than twelve feet thick and probably ex- tends over great area, the quantity being practically unlimited. The diam eter of the shaft is twenty feet and the quantity brought to the surface in passing through the twelve feet amounted to about 350 tons Samples of the ore have been submitted to anal ysis, with highly satisfactory results. washed sample Of the ore yielding 45.S per cent of iron. On visiting the col- fiery works today inspected a consid- erable bulk of the ore and the mana ger informed me that washed sample tested at the works yielded between 90 and 50 per cent o2 iron. The analysis shows that the ore is free from sul- phnr and phosphorus. The ore is stat ed to be of much richer quality than the Wealden ironstone, worked in Kent and Sussex a century ago. Prof Boyd DaWkins, i'll q paper read before the British association in 1894, described sample obtained from the original boring. From this 1t appears that this bed of iron ore is identical with that described by Blake and Hudeston at Abbotsbury, in Dorset, where it occurs between the Kimmeridge clay above and the Corallian rocks below. It is also practically identical with the val uable iron ore worked for many years tn Westbury, Wiltshire. The ironstone presents very singular physical char acteristics. It is composed of dark brown shining grains of hydrated OK. ide of iron, like mil1et seed, imbedded In crystalline base, partly of cal- eium aud partly of iron carbonate.

 "The fight seems to have been start ed by clique of of disgrnntled people and few of the candidates for the office at Eureka Springs. Inspector Houk went up and found the office in good condition Then the howl was raised republican rad been sent to whitewash Rosewater, and I was obliged to ina quire into the matter. vote the opposit te from Inspector Houk found the state of affairs exactly as reported by him and that the office is conducted far better than nine tenth of the postofiices. There was no dis crepency, and the charges were not proven true Had there been the slightest ground for any of these charges it would have been my duty to report Mir. Rosewater, butthere were none. The charge that he opened mail addressed to another person arose in this manner: Mr. Rosewater. before taking the office, was a partner in a mercan tile establishment. There came one day. circular addressed to the old firm. 1t was unsealed, and he opened it. This is no case at all. The real basis of all the charges is the fact that he is Hebrew"

To Wheat Raisers.

Having become interested in this community aud especially in the pro- duction of wheat, 1 will offer few suggestions to the farmers through the columns of TIE TRIBUNE.
 In order to get men to study about those matters that will profit them we talk about It and exchange ideas.
 Being miller by profession, have some experience and observations that might be of benefit to some one.
 Among the diseases of wheat is smut which appears in the form of black power adhering to the ears of wheat It is common in all countries where wheat is d staple crop and is especially troublesome, where the system of agriculture is uninteiligent. Land that Is badly infested with smut should be rested from wheat for a long time and should be cultivated in crops not liable to this disease, such as field grasses, roots, beans, peas and corn.
 Smut spouses may harbor in the ground and infest young wheat by blowing from plant to plant or field to field and by means of its spores set up growth in wheat crops previously free from the pest. Now, to lessen the risk all seed wheat should be treated with solutions of vitrol. The above mentioned cause produces a disease which is termed bunt, which is located on the inner part of the grain and 1t has the same power to darken the flower and gi ye the bread peculiar taste. ours truly,
