TESTING A NEW SHELL.

The fsham Projectne Astonishes
 Number of Experts.
 The first considerable quantity of high explosive to be fred from an or dinary gun against armor was sent against a 12-ineh Haryeyized plate at the Sandy Hook proving grounds re- gently. The projeetile was a shell in- vented by Willard s. Isham, carrying 1294s pounds Of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded, little more than 1000 pounds. 1t was fired from an or dinary 12-ineh sea-eoast defense gun, with a reduced charge, so that the velocity Of the proiectile at the plate was about the same as if 1t 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 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-piereing shell made that will perforate Harvey ized armor plate set at that angle, and 1t was not expected that the Isham shell would penetrate 1t. In fact, there was considerable diversity of opinion as to just what it would do, and 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, perfectly white smoke is made. Tn spite Of the imperfect detol a the plate of armor was dented in about two inches and was blown through its oak backing and through corner of the big sand pile, F feet from where It had been set up.-New York Sun.

MORE ENGLISH IRON,
Timely Discovery at Kent in the Dover
 CoaIfieid.


 When the coal boring was put down at Dover about six or eight years ago. by MT. r. 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 800 feet from the surface. The indica- tions have now proved correct, says the Lena3n Chronicle. In the course of sinking the No shaft bed Of valu- able ooiieic iron ore has just been struck at depth Of rather less than 500 feet. The seam proves to be no less shan twelve feet thick and probably ex- tends over great area, the quantity being practically unlimited The diam- afer of the shaft is twenty feet and tho quantity brought to the surface in passing through the twelve feet amounted to about $50 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 consid- erable bulk of the ore and the mana ger informed me that a washed sample tested at the works yielded between 50 and 60 per cent oG iron. The analysis shows that the ore is free from sul- phur and phosphorus. The ore is stat ed to be of much richer quality than the Wealden ironstone, worked in Kent and Sussex century ago. Prof. Boyd Dawkins, in 9 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 HudIeston at AbbotsDury, in Dorset. where it occurs between the Kimmeridge clay above and the Corallian rocks below It is also practically identical with the val aabie iron ore worked for many years in Westbury, Wiltshire. The ironstone presents very singular physical char acteristics. It is composed of dark brown. shining grains of hydrated OK, idle Of iron, like millet seed, imbedded In crystalline base, partly of call ciiim aud partly Of iron carbonate.

THE POSTOFFICE WILL DO BUSINESS AT THE OLD STAND FOR FIVE
 YEARS LONGER. ERECT A PUBLIC BUILDING The PostoAice Building Lease !Seeewed for Five More
 Years---The Situation.
ERECT A PUBLIC BUILDING

For the past several weeks the people and business men especially have made a number of efforts to have the postofice moved to stand north of the Cotton Bell and Iron Mountain railroad track. Several causes were given for that move. It would be a more convenient loca tion, and it would not neeessitate waste of the peoples time h having to wait for the passing of freight trains, etc, as now frequently occurs.
 The present five year lease on the possofiee building expires April ?, 1900. and recently bids were received oy Inspector H. ". Hall for the es tablIshing of new adquarters. The bidders were Messrs. J. 2. Simmons who owns the building now occupied by the local postal authorities " H. Langford, who offered the build ing one door west of the Citizens Bank and P. M. Bridges, who offer ed the building [aow occupied by oIacksmiths) next to Berlin's stable on North Court street.
 Mr. Fred c. Furth. the genial chief clerk Of the postoa1ce has re. c9ived a letter from George M. Allen, the acting first assistant postmaster general at Washin gton, D, C.. relative to the subject. MT. Allen in part says: lin a recom- mendation contained in a recent report from Postofiee Inspector Hall, it has been decided to renew the lease of the Pine Bluff postof1ice premises for further term of five years from April ?, 1900, at an annual rental of $950, to include complete equipment of boxes, fix lures and furniture [free delivery furniture when reeessary] together with satisfactory heat, light and a fire and burglar proof vault and you will notify MT. Simmons accordingly Also inform him that his proposition IS accepted. subject to the proYis. ions ard requirements of the depart. ments form of lease.
 Mr. Simmons was also requested to keep the building thoroughly cleaned, awning placed oyer windows and other pecessary improvement Is carried out.
 Chief Clerk Fufth has oeen ad vised by the supervising architect of the Treasury Department at Washington, to furnish sketcn or diagram of the central and business portion of this city showing tbe dimensions of lots, the value of same per sq aare foot, dimensions of blocks, width of streets and alleys, etc.
 The above request was made by the Treasury Depar tment, which has been called upon by the com mlttee on Public Buildings and Grounds of tie House of Represen tatives of Congress for same, as bill has been presented in the House providing for the erection of public building in Pine Betf, Ark. This building will be erected as soon as an appropriation is made oy Congress for same. It will be erect ed on site 150 feet square aud 1t is an assured fact that Pine Bluff will secure it.

Clayton Bulver treaty; but if he has, 1t is
a wrong one. We are quite aware that he
would like TO get slice of our Alaskan
seacoast in exchange for the surrender of
that old violated and abandoned oonven-
ton; but, much as we love and respect our
British relatives. public opinion in this
country would have to undergo a decided
revolution before anything of that kind
would be allowed. Indeed. it may be said
with confidence that all American parties,
and the whole citizenship of the Union.
are in agreement that we shall never give
up an inch of our Alaskan territory 10
England, and that We shall build, own,
control. and protect the Nicaragua Canal
as a strictly and exclusively national en-
terprise and possession; although we are
quite willing 10 treat it as an open door
to the commerce of the world in times of
peace.
There ought to be small reason for an
ticipating any unfrendly action on the
part OF the British Government in respect
of our canal movement The empire is
not at present oyerburdenei with outside
friendship, and it would seem impoltic for
Her Majesty's Ministry to risk universal
American enmity by opposing a course and
object upon which the people of the United
States are absolutely and determinedly
united In the end there is no apparent
reason TO doubt that the frank and yigor-
Gus yet kindly diplomacy which has Sc
cured for us our commercial interests in
China will be found Efficient TO arrange
both the canal and Alaskan affairs with
out trouble or serious friction.

The present generation has made a
business OF oyerthrowing ancient tradi-
lions. from the story OF William Tell to
the pernicious influence of night air; and
the latest piece OF iconocIasm is the as
sailing of that proverb which says that
early rising is healthful and profitable
custom. IL IS now asserted that man
should 20 TO sleep when he feels like II
and get up when he is refreshed, and not
before.
Despite all discussion, most people will
continue TO do in this respect just what
their business engagements and personal
incllnaiions may dictate there is not
much use in trying to establish cast
iron law in such Il matter, though in
be such a law, fixed by the power of
public opinion. For some time there has
been considerable doubt about the truth
OF the old saying about the effects of the
early to bed and early to rise" regime.
because il has been painfully evident that
a majority OF the people who are obliged
to retire early because they must go to
work at hNe or SIX CLOCK IN lhe morn
ing, are somewhat anaemic. not remark

there is, especially in cities, a general
tendency to make the hour of rising later
than 1t used TO be; and whereas the me-
chanic used TO be at his work by seven.
he now begins at eight. while the business
man has removed the beginning OF his
working day from nine TO ten o'clock.
This is partly due 10 n general shortening
of the hours Of labor, due TO trades un-
ions and new machinery. In the country.
however, early rising is still the fashion,
though most farmers no longer consider

they did a generation ago. Again, people
in general keep later hours at night than
they used to do. There is more gen.

THE WAR TELEGRAPHERS.
Work by British Operators
at the Front.

LONDON. Jan. 21.-The British Govern
ment post telegraph departments have al
ready contributed to the army in South
Africa nearly 500 men, of whom more than
200 were skilled telegraph operators who
could be i'll spared from the already under
manned service.
Reports to the War Office state that the
teiegraphers are rendering splendid service.
1t is said that the use OF the Wheatstone
automatic system on the field of battle is
the first in the history OF warfare. More
over 1t was worked dupiexed which at
the outset was prophesied TO be impossible
under the rough circumstances OF cam
paignlng.
At Modder River the telegraphers were
under fire for whole day. Then they
worked right through the night on official
and press messages. Later, despite the
rules limiting the number OF correspondents
and the length of message, each man
could send. the operators sent 100000
words. The total after the Magsrsfontein
battle was much greater, but the operators
got 1t through without hitch at the high
average speed OF about 200 words per min
ute.
Under the Wheatstone system the matter
has to be prepared by ''punchers' in ad-
vance. linen II Cdn ne SnOl through at a
high rate of speed. but 1t comes at the
other end on tape and has to be tran
scribed The delays here are evident. De
lays invariably occur after the dispatches
reach the coast.
A majority OF the telegraphers are volun-
tecrs. members Of the Twenty fourth Mid
dlesex Postoince Pifles. When it was
known that the Twenty fourth would be
wanted TO supply considerable number Of
as signal corps men. the Tel
egraph Chronicle, the organ of the OPP
orators, made a stirring appeal to the men
and described in glowing terms the gal
lantry of American telegraphers in Cuba
Porto Rico. and the Philippines. and told
how. az the conclusion OF the Spanish
American war, an army order was issued
thanking them for their work.

as COOL work as the American telegraphers
did for their country. The Telegraph

The I.thmian Canal Sentiment.

II is reported that assurances have been
received from the States of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica that they will gladly lease ter
ritory for canal purposes to the United
States for one hundred or even two hun
dred years and there is no doubt that our
State Department is doing some active
work in this competition. No formal treaty
with the Central American governments
H. likely TO be made until after Congress
passes the Canal bill. but the matter OF
the lease no doubt will be well advanced
before that time.
II will be well IL II is SO. We may ex-
pect that diplomatic intrigue will be re-
sorted TO In order TO balk or obstruct our
national movement. and 1t is TO be hoped
that the President and Secretary Hay Will
not fail to have some first rate talent On
the isihmus from this time until all dan
ger of secret or any interference Is past.

wise than amIably in the premises Lord
