SOME PHOTOS. OF GUN TESTING.
Interesting Specimens of Great Guns
And Armor Plate of The
American Navy.

This weeks issue of Leslie's Weekly
contains double rage photograph of
scenes at Indian Head Proving
Grounds. where great guns, armor
plate and projectiles for the American
navy are put to the .severest tests.
which the public is never permitted
to witness. The pictures were taken
by Mrs. Charles r. Miller, of BaIti
more, Leslie's official photographer.
= That Mrs. Miller was permitted TO
take these pictures is a great compli-
mont to her as we'll as to her skill as
a photographer. No camera artist was
ever before permitted to take pictures
at Indian Head, the official naval
proving grounds, and Mrs. Miller
had to manipulate the usual red tape
TO get permission to accomplish this
work. She was successful in receiy-
ing the indor ement of a long list of
naval officers and also had permission
of Secretary Bonaparte of the Navy.
All the pictures were censored be-
fore their publication was permitted.
Some of the photographs include the
following Covered firing butt employ
ed in testing the character of shell
bu rsts; projectiles ready for use in
the test of great guns; repairing the
screen after projeotile has passed
through; fuse tester; one of the most
powerful guns in the Navy being
hoisted in position for testing bomb
proof and 12-inch gun; one of the big
gest in the Navy; repairing 13-inoh
gun; experimental target; panoramic
view of the grounds; condensed pro-
jectiles and guns being broken for
ballast; enormous crane carrying gun
pronounced perfect TO the wharf.
An interesting story accompanies
the photographs and centrepiece to
the story is good photograph of Lieu
tenant Commander A. @. Diffenbach,
inspector in charge of the naval prev.
ing grounds, at his desk in the office.
The article is well written and shows
Mrs. Miller to be a good PEN woman
as we'll as q fiTst-class camera artist.

A Very High Tide.

The southeast wind which started
in at an early hour this morning caused
one of the highest tides to rise in the
local harbor which has been witnessed
here for some time. The water of
the harbor rose at the foot of Pri nee
George street, the Oity Dock and
other water front places until it food
ed the surrounding thoroughfares for
several Hicks. At the foot of Glou-
cester street the tide WAS within few
inches of the flooring of the Eastport
bridge, and was still rising at the
time of going to press.
Prince George street was entirely
under water, from curb to curb, all
the way up to Holland street and the
ioor of the City Fish Market was
only few inches above the rising
tide. The power boat Ercliffe came
in to the dock and moered at the very
head of the slip on the northern side.
where the depth is ordinarily much
too shallow to admit of this.

and carries the ball from his position
