CLOTH is BULLET PROOF.
Any One Can Now Wear Armor and Defy an
Army With Rifles.
Chicago Chronicle.


Since the invention of firearms
much labor has been expended in the
effort to devise an armor that would
protect the wearer from harm by fly
ing missiles of lead. but each success
sive experimenter has been compelled
to confess defeat. 1t is now an
nounced that such vesture has been
perfected, and the Italian government
is negotiating for its use. 1t is of i'm
portance that we see just what the re-
suits are, although it is necessary to
state that the invention remains a Sc
cret, and this, Notwithstanding at
tempts to discover its details. Thus
We shall have to deal with a general
description and with the results OF
experiments.
The armor is q sort of felt, the stuff
being capable of adaptation to any
form whatever; for example, breast
plate with a collar or sort of coat
which completely envelopes the wear.

from gunshot wounds. The thickness
of the protector varies from one-six-
teenth to n-sixteenths of an inch,
according to the arm, the Effects of

Against the armor of seven.sixteenths
of an inch the egular ordnance re.

charged with smokeless powder. In
the numerous experiments which have
been made-in firing at distance Of
several yards-the ball, whether it be
of lead or steel, when it strikes tho
protector 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 to
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,
however, could not penetrate the felt
and was bent into shapeless mass.
1t is natural to suppose that the
force of the ball would be communi-
Gated to the armor and that this
would be driven violently backward,
resulting in disagreeable shock and
one which at times would be danger.

the incorrectness of this view the in.
ventor attached his protector to q
horse and fred upon the animal only
six feet away with an ordnance re-
volver, the ball falling at the feet

halter, walked away as if nothing had
happened. 1t is to be noted that with

LEAP YEAR.
\ Year In Which Proposing Is the Wcmans
Prerogative.

Prerosative.
The new year is leap year, but the
addition Of another day to the month
OF February is by no means its most
important popularity. For during
this year, according to immemorial
tradition, it will be good form for wo-
men ii they choose to propose matri-
mony to men instead OF waiting for
men to propose it to them.
Most people of either sex would say
without a moments hesitation that
this leap year tradition had never been
leap year custom and that it was
either a joke or an absurdity without
thing in reason or in human nature
to support it. But that is going too
far, for there is no folk lore OF any de.
description, whether song, riddle or
verb, that is not, in the last analysis,
founded on some immutable principle
of human nature, and so it is with wo-
men popping the question in leap
year.
The principle OF human nature on
which this leap year tradition is found
ed is the paradoxical one that, while
the verbal and external proposition of
marriage proceeds from the man, ev-
cry perfectly normal and happy mat
riraonial match has its initiative in
in the heart of the woman. There are
many kinds of courtship and marriage
but no marriage is ever happy one
unless the woman courts the man, al.
belt without his knowing it.
There is profound and important
reason why this must be 90. 1t is wo-
mans nature, not only in affairs OF
the heart, but in everything else, to be
unable to change her spontaneous
tastes and preferences. Her likes and
dislikes display q remarkable fixity.
She does not make them and she can
not unmake them. Whether it be in
the realm of cookery, art, music, dress,
amusement, friendship or love, this
principle controls her. She can be
dragooned away temporarily from her
natural bent, but she is then crushed
woman, and soon or later she will re-
vert to her original impulse.
One may say it is exactly the same
with a man, but it is not. A mans
preferences are largely a matter Of
ratification. They are modified by
argument, by expediency, by consider.
ations of interest, by his conceptions
of duty, by his ideas Of prudence.
This makes his heart, in matters Of
love, . sort of chessboard, on which all
these feelings contend for the mastery,
He is capable OF loving woman for .
great variety Of reasons besides the
voluntary admiration called falling in
love.
1t is on account OF this essential dif-
ference between men and women that
the woman's preference is the thing
mainly to be considered is marriage
to be stable and happy.
Happy is the man, therefore, whose
wife by mere instinct pitched upon
him as her ideal, and woe to the man
whose wife was swerved, from her in.
stiuctive choice by the advice Of par
ents, the love Of money or any other
influence to wed him.
This is the reason that it is folly for
Q man to set out to win woman's
heart-at least, by devotion. The
only wise thing he can do in this line
is to stand around, accidently and un-
consciously, as it we're, and let her do
the rest.
