as good as it was when it was loaded.

from Manchester struck match to i
few grains and it Immediately burned
up.
Mr. Phelt will take the shell with HIM
to Ohio on his vacation, and there ex-
hibit it as a curiosity, as it really Is. The

near the root of a tree and the cap was
not brought into contact with any solid
object. Its
