jealousy Guarded.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Some facts, al
most startling in their Importance, were
laid before the Senate to-day in executive
session. They related. it is understood, to
the inventicn of a shell by a prominent
officer of the United States Navy-a shell
superior in every essential quality 10 any
now in use, either by this or other gov
ernments.
The quality of penetration possessed by
the she'll is said to be SO great that no
ar1nor now manufactured IN the United
States or abroad has sufficient resistance
to wfthstan it.
The facts. which were in possession of
only few senators, were. deemed ims
portant that it was decided to discuss
them in secret session.
When the doors were closed Mr.. Ttllrnan
explained that several days ago he had
offered a resolution calling for the details
of test made of urmor plate at Indian
Head
1t seems that Mr.. TiIltnan was infornl-
ed that it would be unwise at this time
to make public the details OF the tests he
had asked for, as it would place in the
hands, not only of the Senate. but of rep
resentatives of foreign governments, in
formation that properly belonged exciti-
sively to the United States. He was in
formed that Admiral 0Neil chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance. had been conducting
for several months series of arrnor tests
| at Indian Head. the results OK which were
very remarkable. a prominent official OF
| the Navy Department said it was under
stood that the tests of all sorts OF arnior.
| including the Krupp arulor. had been mada
with u view oil ascertafning the effscttye-
| ness against a. irew shell that had been
| invented by an officer of the navy. No
| piece or arnor submitted to the test. it
| is understood. was able 70 withstand the
| test
NOTHING wITHSTANIDS 1T.
The shell, which is fired from high
power guns. penetrated arrnor almost as
q bullet from j Krag-Jorgenssen rifle
| would penetrate green wood. the difference
being that the arrnor plates split from the
| point OF impact
It is said that this was true of the
krupp arnor as well as of the other
arrnor tested The sheil which was 50
effective was not destroyed; inEtee2l the
Navy Department. is guarding jeaiously
all details concerning Its construction.
The argument of Mr.. Tillfnau IS that
with such a projectl!e in the possession
of the Government, the details of whicn
will sooner or later become known to
other governments, it Will not be the
part OF wisdom for Congress to enter into
contracts to purchase the high priced
armor until it could be so improved as
to resist projectiies of the kind used at
Indian Head.
Feeling that more or less OF the matter
concerning the tests recently made by
the Government would be used in the
| debate on the armor question, Mr.. TIL
man suggested that IL would be desirable
to discuss the subject in secret The
Senate agreed with him, and tomorrow
the armor plate matter will be discussed
behind closed doors.

ALONG THE AMAZON.
Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless bar
barism Inhabit Great Areas

The trip of the United States gun
boat Wilmington up the Amazon river
promises to be looked upon as one OF
the achievements of the closing CEN
fury The commercial object Of the
Wilmington's cruise was to see how
rubber was found in the natural state,
and what manner of man it was who
dwelt in the remote Businesses of the
great forests whence it came. During
the gunboat's stay the officers visited
many Indian villages. The Indians
were found to be apparently doeile, but
there was no mistaking their unciyil-
lied state. Clothing, save a strip or
two, worn by the women, are unknown.
The men are strong and muscular, and
show great chest development. They
are eopper-eolored, of middle height,
with well shaped limbs and small hands
and feet. Their hair is black, straight
and rather coarse, the features broad,
cheekbones not generally prominent,
eyes black, and, strange to say, some
times oblique like those Of the Tartar
races of Eastern Asia The sole wea-
pons in their possession are the spear
and bow and arrow The bows are of
great length, and in the hands OF a
skilled native can be made formidable.
In some of the native huts the Ameri-
can visitors found curious objects
which, ON closer investigation, proved
to be mummified human heads. This
was significant, inasmuch as il proved
that the tribe belonged to the class
known as head hunters" term de-
rived from their habit of preserving
the heads of their enemies killed in
battle. The process consists in remoy-
Ing the skull and treating it with GER
tain herbs until the head has been re-
duced to about one-sixth of its original
size. The hair and features are pre-
served intact, thus giving the head a
very life-like appearance. The lips
are sewn together with hide thongs,
upon which are recorded the details of
the battle.

most influence On Lord Kitchener's
career. It was found, upon the death
Of his father, that the family resources
we're so straitened that it would be
difficult to keep the future hero of On

the school. wanted to know why such
a clever lad was leaving He was
frankly told, and replied: The boy
will reflect honor on the school; he
must stay here. There will be no
charge. will only request that he
may not be told of this arrangement
at present. as it might break his high
spirit New York Press.

The otter IS quite large. sometimes
weighing as much as p pounds. He
resembles the seal and the mink. be-
ing, however, Of heavier build. and IS
beth supple and strong Living for
the most part IN water, he preys on
fish. which his swimming and diving
ability enables him to catch easily.
The entrance 10 his home. which IS a
burrow in the bank of a stream, is
under the water. IN the early spring
when the ice begins to thaw, these
animals start on their traYe.z from one
stream TO another, sometimes spend
ing months on the journey. # they
happen TO see an inviting hill by the
Hayside they Immediately stop their
pilgrimage and prepare for some sport.
One OF the number leaves the water
and slowly CLIMBS the slope, making
smooth hollow n the ice with his
wet body. When the slide is pre-
pared he lies fat on his belly, thrusts
his nose forward. and turning his fore
paws under his soft sides. goes sail
ing swiftly down. His speed steadily
increases until he reaches the water.
Silently he parts the surface and is
lost from sight for a few seconds: then
his head appears above the surface

sounds like a whistle This is a sig
