The work of constructing the new dormitory at the university has pro- gressed well and it is probable that the builders will have It ready little sooner than was anticipated. The foundation work has been completed and the cement flooring is laid and is hardening now. A force of men has been working on it continually.

Few events in the trap shooting world attract more we'll known fol- lowers of the sport, both as shooters and spectators. than does the Western Interstate Handicap. This year Kan sas City handled the big meet, held August l4-l6. Frank Campbell, of Waukee, Iowa, won the handicap event. 94xlO0, sharing the victories of the program with w. H. Geer, who won high general average, 395x4OO, and other equally high scores. Sports men are interested in the fact that Remington U M c steel lined shells were used not only by practically all winners at this, the seventh Western Handicap, but that the same ammuni- tion has triumphed at four consecutive Western Handcaps and at sixteen of the nineteen great national handicaps held in four years.

New Metal for Armor-Plate.

A series of tests have recently taken place with metal which, it has been discovered, possesses qualities of great resistance against the penetra- tion of super-caliber proJectiles, and, says the London Standard, it's first practical use has been offered to the British admiralty. If the result of the experiments that have been made prove satisfactory, and the admiralty decide to employ the metal on the armOr plating of their warships, it will mean that the thickness of the armor will be reduced, with a consequent lessened displacement in the vessels. The metal is known as molybdenum, and it is used to alloy with nickel in steel. Experiments have been carried out on government firing grounds un- der official supervision, and It is stated that the process has proved to be superior by l5 or 20 per cent to the recognized armor plate standard. The metal is found in small quantities in Canada, South Africa, Norway, and Sweden, and the pure specimens are worth about l.75$ pound. It has wonderful hardening qualities when treated with nickel, and the results of the trial to which it is being subjected is awaited with considerable interest by the engineering world.
