MODEL STOOD THE TEST.
Resistance of Armored Cruisers to
Shell Fire Demonstrated.

Washington. Sept. 23.-An account was given
to-day by the Naval Bureau of Ordnance of an
interesting test, conducted yesterday at the
naval proving grounds at Indian Head. in con-
tfnuation of the series of experiments begun last
March to determine the resisting power of the
Tennessee class of armored cruisers under the
attack of projectiles loaded with various kinds
of explosives The account says:
The six and eight inch guns were used In the
test, the striking velocity of the proJectles be-
ing those corresponding to ranges from three
thousand to five thousand yards. The target
was structure built in exact imitation of the
side of the Tennessee, with all decks, bulkheads
etc. complete. The results were on the whole
extremely satisfactory as regards the design of
the ship. The damage done by the bursting
shells was localized within the compartment
where the explosion took place, and while the
damage to both personnel and material within
the compartment would undoubtedly have been
very great the ship whole would have been
intact at the conclusion of the firing
AS final test a twelve-inch shell was ex-
ploded within a closed compartment just above
the armJred deck. The local effect of this was
eonsiderdb bic, but the arinored deck was not pen
etrated

The Depopulation of Ireland

From Reynolds Newspaper.
The emigration statistics for Ireland for
the year 1904 furnish melancholy reading, I'm
that they show how Ireland continues TO
lose some of the best of her population.
Last year 36.902 natives of ireland, a num-
Der equivalent to s.3 per 1000 of the popu-

The total of 36.9O2 is slight falling OFF az

But unfortunately, the outward flow has
continued for since 1851 no fewer than
