The Albee Stock company at Keiths
theatre. June 18th, will present that stir
ring romantic drama, The Pride OF Jen-
nico. which Is founded upon the chief
incident in the novel OF that name by
Edgerton Castle This play IL probably
the very best romantic drama which has
been produced in many years and its
popula rity has not diminished since u was
originally produced with such great sue
cess by James K Hackett as n starring

Wonderful Things Related Of ap.
Italian Invention Which May

The world is at present intensely in
terested in a new Italian bulletproof
cloth, and since the Italian govern

OF Importance that we see just what
the results are, although it is neces-
sary to state that the invention re-
mains secret, ana this notwithstand-
ing attempts to discover it's details.
Thus we shall have to deal with a gen.
eral description and with the results
OF experiments. =
The armOr is sort of felt, the stuff
being capable of adaptation to any
form whatever; for example, a breast
plate with a collar or q sort of coat
which completely envelops the wear
er and absolutely guarantees him from
gunshot wounds. The thickness of the
protector varies from one-sixteenth to
seven-sixteenths of an inch, according
to the arm the effects of which it is
designed to destroy. Against the
armor OF seven-sixteenths OF an inch

with smokeless powder. In the numer-
GUS experiments which have been
made-in firing at a distance of sew
eral yards-the ball, whether it be OF
lead or steel, when it strikes the pro-
tector is arrested and deformed, in
some cases rebounding and in others
being almost reduced to pulp. Thus
there is not only an arrest of the ball,
but reformation as we'll, and in this
reformation the force OF the ball is
converted. While there should be a
high degree of temperature at the
point touched by the ball, it seems
that the ball alone feels the effects. for
the protector does not seem to be
burnt in the slightest.
These results are not limited 10
ballistic effects, for in the recent ex-
periments it was sought to pierce the
armor with dagger driven with all
possible force. The point of the arm,
and was bent into shapeless mass.
1t is natural to suppose that the
force of the ball would be commune
Gated to the armor and that this
would be driven violently backward,
resulting in a disagreeable shock and
one which at times would be danger
GUS to the wearer. To demonstrate
the incorrectness of this view Signor
Benedict attached his protector to a
horse and fired upon the animal only
six feet away with an ordnance re-
volyer. the ball falling at the feet of
the horse while, he, freed from his
halter, walked away as ii nothing had
happened. 1t is to be noted that with
the same revolver piece of steel had
been previously pierced. The same ex-
pertinent was made with chicken

Two Hundred Milea m unu,

Some interesting experiments have
been carried out with a new mono-
rail system devised by French enpi-
neer, M. Devic. The inventor has
built model upon the scale of ONE
tenth of what the actual train is to
be, and with this train he has attained
speed of IL miles an hour. The
train is to be propelled by electric
power, and in order that high speed
may be attained the inventor relies
upon two decentralization IF
weight and a more effective gr1ro;1s
of the drive wheels upon the single
track of the railroad. He claims tn
have designed rail which will afford
the wheels sufficient grip, irrespective
of the weight which they are carving.
Further experiments are to be carried
out with a much larger model at
Nemcurs to prove the utility and adj
vantage of the system. NJ. Devic is
'sanguine of attaining a speed of 200
miles an hour.

dock and drain off the water SO as to
expose the hull completely. The next
would be to pull out the pins or to drive
out the keys from their seats. For this
purpose mallets would probably suffice
Finally, it would be necessary to detach
the hub of the screw from the shaft by
exerting pressure in such a way as to
make it slip along the latter. If this
shaft had only a slight taper, of course
only little movement in the right d.
rection would serve the purpose, but
the force requisite to start the hub
would be great.
A passing allusion to the hydraulic
apparatus for performing this service is
made in Casters Magazine, which also
supplies the illustration here repro
duced. Though no explanation is sup
piled. one can readily conjecture how
the device is used. The bolts which con-
meet the four segmentS of circle should
be relaxed and one Of the joints opened
sufficiently to allow the machine to be
slipped past the screw, so as to embrace
the shaft at point just back of the
propeller. BY chain and suitable
tackle the whole mechanism would be
temporarily suspended at the stern of
the ship from the deck while these op-
erations are going on. The press once
being loosely in position right behind
the hub Of the screw. it should be tight
ened about the shaft by a proper adj
justment of the bolts at the four Joints
The thing will not work unless a perfect
grip has been obtained.
To understand the final procedure one
should take it for granted that the four
segments are hollow. Water, having
been forced into one of them, quickly
distributes itself by the coiled pipes that
connect it with the other three. Thus
the pressure is equal in all. The two
light colored. bean-shaped areas on each
segment represent plates which can he
made to move away from the surface of
the segment by pressure within. These
eight plates would bear against the hub
OF the screw with equal strength and
slowly push the latter from its original
position.

NEW HYDRAULIC PRESS.
Cnique Apparatus Used in England
for Removing Screws from
Steamship Shafts.

In English machine shops greater
variety of hydraulic presses is used
than in America. In this country, per-
haps the most notable service performed
by such apparatus is the forming Of
armor plates for battleships. A mass
of soft steel is forged thereby with al
most the facility displayed by cook
in kneading dough for pie crust. One
of the kinds of work done abroad by
hydraulic power is setting wheels on
axles and removing them. A duty
which is somewhat akin to this is
loosening screw propeller from the
shaft of steamship, if repairs of either
shaft or screw become desirable.
When propeller is originally put on
a shaft it is fastened with pins running
inward radially, or with keys wedged
in between the shaft and the hub of the
screw. Additional security is obtained
sometimes by shrinking the hub on.
The diameter of the hole through this
latter is made "a hairbreadth less than
that of the shaft, but is temporarily en-
larged by heating. When the hub ccols
1t shrinks, and thus takes a firm hold
The need of fastening a screw we'll is
apparent when one remembers that it
is expected to rotate with the shaft;
and that this latter is often made to
turn by an engine of 10000 or $4,000
horse power.
In taking screw off from the shaft,
then, the first step would be to put the
vessel to which it belonged in dry

Many of the foreign female contin-

Across the water, the fun starts imme-
diately after mass Sunday morning.
Theaters and concerts are in full blast

was perhaps to pander to the tastes of
our foreign distinguished population
that the congressional library and Cor
coran gallery of art throw open their
doors at noon Sunday!
Crowds throng both buildings during
the entire afternoon of Sunday and
they are not all foreigners by any
means! In fact, it is about the only
time the government clerks have for
enjoying the advantages offered by
both institutions and they make the
most of it. The librarian of congress
had to put an extra force of clerks on
Sunday afternoon, and it is sometimes
almost impossible to elbow your way
through the crowds in the main gal
leries OF the Corcoran art gallery. The
theaters, too, are frequently opened
dition of an oratorio lecture or sacred
concert. In a few years it looks as ii
the diplomatic corps will cease to COM
