gun experiments with the luminous
shells employed for year past in
America. These shells have a hollow
in the rear end containing fireworks
powder, which is intlamed as the shell
quits the gun, and leaves luminous
trail in the air, enabling the gunner
at night to follow the course of his
projectile, and determine whether or
not it reaches its object. Without
some device of this kind it is very
difficult in firing over the sea in the
darkness to ascertain whether the
range is too long or too short. In the

Local Agents Organized an Ua-

This Morning.
WIN. W. PIERCE, PRESIDENT

The object of the organization is
to regulate the rates on plate glass
insurance in this city. This sort of
insurance has developed to quite a
business in this vicinity, and the
agents deemed 1t wise to assemble
and make their own rates, before the
companies banded together and made
them which, in the latter case, would
be exceedingly high, say the agents.
The organization intends in time to
extend throughout the county, If
agents In other districts wish to join.
Present this morning were William
