Target the Test of the Torpedo Shell Sandy Hook

The officers in charge of the test hoped his Idea was correct. but their grave doubts were strongly indicated by the postponement of the test. A shot fired at short range sometimes cuts strange capers. The shell, failing to explode on impact with the target, may be defected upward after passing through, and go, nobody knows where, possibly exploding a long ways from the place intended. Shots have been known. it is said, to be turned upward and backward by the tar get and its sand backing and to fall In the rear of the gun from which they were fired. It is always possible that shell charged with large quantity of high ex- plosive may burst in the gun and scatter death and destruction all about it. The breechblock of gun may blow out, and it is not considered safe to be directly In line with big gun. even behind 1t, when 1t is discharged of a heavy load Every precaution is adopted to prevent fatal ac- cidents of the sort, and no unnecessary risks are taken.
 The devices employed in determining the velocity of a projectile are ingenious and their operation is highly interesting. Frames are erected in front of the gun and directly in the line of it's fire, one, say 50 feet from the muzze of the peice and the other 100 feet beyond. wire charged with an electric current is car ried back and forth across the frame and runs to Boulanger chronograph, an instrument for accurately measuring brief intervals of time. The chronograph carries a magnet which remains In con tact with it's armature until the current Is broken, when the armature falls by

instances, receive the full benefit of the How from the air chambers beneath the auditorium; but even here the results are far superior to those obtained by the common methods of downward ventila- tion where the carbon di-oxide increment has been found to range from 15 to 45 in the same 10000 parts of air.
 In the matter of the increase and ya- riations of temperature the following ta- ble of the results carefully recorded in a Boston theater employing upward ventil- alton are interesting and typical:

 In a Boston church, where repeated ex- periments were made with crowded au- diences, seated through long sessions in- cident to special services, the rise of tenn perature within the auditorium has been reported as not exceeding two or three degrees. the quality of the air meanwhile continuing so pure as to be made mat ter of frequent remark or inquiry. In another church. 1t may be added. an ap- paratus which had been unsatisfactory In securing downward ventilation, se- cured entirely satisfactory results when the system was changed from downward to upward-a fact which. as Professor Woodbridge points out, furnishes a strik- ing proof of the essential correct ness of the principles regarding the ventilation of audience halls for which the depart ment of ventilation at the Institute of Technology stands.

gravity and marks on a recording disk the exact time of the cessation of the electric influence. When the projectile passes through the frame 1t breaks one or more of the crossings of the wire, and the exact time to q thousandth part of a second is registered by the chronograph. The operation Is repeated at the second frame, and the difference of time between the two breaks and the distance between the frames afford the basis for the math- ematical reckoning of the velocity. The muzzle energy and the pressure within the gun are indicated by instruments too complicated and too intricate in their mathematics for lay description.
 One of the claims of MT. Gathmann for his shell charged with high explosive is that on impact, for instance with the ar- nor of a turret above deck, it's bursting will crush the deck plates beneath the points where 1t explodes. In the test of that gun, therefore a piece of 3-inch armor representing a deck plate was laid on the ground in front of the target on the level of its lower edge. This plate was by 10 feet.
 A 2000 pound shell. 450 pounds of which is wet guncotton, Is not a mere toy. It is taller when stood on end, than the aver age man, and almost as large around as a salt barrel. 1t Is of highly polished steel on the exterior, and Is placed on a car, the track for which runs directly to the breech of the gun. The shell rests on a wooden bed at the exact height of the bore of the gun, so it can be pushed into the breech, but a ton Is not easily moved. and even wet guncotton Is han dled with becoming care.

cRoNJE'S FAITHFUL DOG,
Followed His Masters Fortunes Until
 Disaster Came.

From the London Mail
 General Cronje's dog, the faithful four footed creature that followed the for tunes of his master from the outbreak of the war until he was run to earth at Paardeburg, has thrown in his lot with the British troops. He Is, writ es Cape town correspondent, located at Green Point camp, and enjoys life with the best of them.
 The dog is of the retriever breed, but, unlike his former master, exceptionally long in the leg On the whole, he is of a surly disposition, so far as strangers are concerned. and will receive attention from none save a man in uniform. He att tends every parade held in camp, and whenever company of men are sent away he accompanies them to the rail- way station. waits until they are en- trained, and then returns disconsolately to camp.
 Church parade on Sunday morning Is a fixture he never misses, though when the state of the weather necessitates the holding of the service in the recreation room he remains outside. Should the service be prolonged more, than five min utes over the usual time the dog solemn ly marches in to inquire the reason. Alto gether, the animal Is made much of by the men in camp, but he Is not given to making many friends
 He is always ready for fight with any visiting canine. but he invariably emerges from the encounter second best, evidence of which is to be found in the torn and mangled condition of his coat.

FLYING MACHINES.
Inventor Says They VIII Be on the
 Market Soon.

Bridgeport, Conn, November IT, Gustave Whitehead, the flying machine inventor, backed by New York capital, has leased a machine shop in the western part of this city, where a force of forty-five machinists are work ing night and day manufacturing a permanent flying machine for public demonstration purposes. Whitehead says he will manufacture his invention in this city on large scale this win ter, and expects to be able to put sev eral of them on the market next spring. The model machine has seating capacity to accommodate six persons. This style of machine may be made to sell for $2,000.
 The identity of the capitalists who are backing the enterprise is a guarded secret, as is much of their plans. Ad- mittance is refused to the many curi- ous persons who daily apply at the shop for the privilege of witnessing the manufacture of the first steel fly
