OWER OF A
BURSTING SHELL.
Navy Department Has Some
Interesting Facts in Capt.
Taylor’s Report.
Washington, July ?!• Th. navy depart
ment has obtained a very striking concep
tion of the tremendous power of a bursting
shell within the close inclosure of a bat
tleship from a report which has just been
received at the navy department from Cap
tain Taylor, of the Indiana.
Aside from the actual bursting energy of
the shell described by Captain Taylor, it is
perceived from the report that great dan
ger was experienced from tire, owing to the
fact that the Indiana is not. Ilk. some of
the battb ships of later construction, fit
ted up with fireproof wood throughout. It
is safe to assume that this report, taken in
connection with the destruction of the
Spanish v<->-o-b in .1 large part by fire off
Sant.apo, will lea I the navy department to
redouble instead of relax its efforts to pro
t' <-t th. American warships from fire by
all known scientific means. Captain Tay
lor's report reads as follows;
"I'nlted Stat<~ Battleship Indiana, oft
Santiago, July 5. Xbont 12 o'clock mid
night Inst night the ship was truck by a
shell, aparently from an S 3-8 mortar,
Which pierced the deck, the flash-plate be
tween beams 7C and 77, four inches from
the starboard rail ’The shell exploded in
compartment B l(»o. just forward of the
•Cabin door, fragments piercing the Cabin
water pipe bulkhead in two places near the
starboard cabin door.
“Large fragments pierced the water tight
berth deck in two places, entering the pay
master's state room. Large
pierced atid completely wrecked the water
tight hatch plate, leading to the top deck.
The rooms in the vicinity on both sid.es
w.re badly wrecked, considerabl' damage
tiring done to the furniture and corrugated
tmlkhcids. the bookcase knocked over and
many books injured. X leak ’dart. I in the
fire main by a small fragment, and the
whole room was so tilled with smoke that
it neci • »it al« d taking up the battle hatches
on the main deck. Only a few sparks of
flr< wer. observed, which were pn-kly put
out, a;- a stream of water was played into
the compartment hnme l.at.dv after the
Shell Steflck.”
The captain end: with the statement,
that no one was injured and that his ship
was in perfect condition for battle.

EXCITING CHASE
Altet a Negro by a Detective—Three Shots
Fired.
Dietetive Patterson, of the police force,
yesterday evening arrested a negro named
Ilenrj Harper, who is charged with an at
tempt to criminally assault the wife of an
other negro named Mose Elliott. <
The officer had an exciting chase after
the negro, whom he found in a saloon on
Poplar street. When the detective ap
proached the man to make the arrest he
threw his hand behind him a if to draw a
pistol, but when the officer drew his own
weapon the man ran.
Patterson tired three shots at him but
none of them took effect and a long-chase
resulted in the cauture of the man several
blocks away.
It is said that the negroes are very much
excited over the crime committeed by Har
per and threaten to lynch him if he ever
appears free on the streets again. But it
Is not at all probable that he will be given
a chance to show himself again for some
time to come.

1 Beard of Health Finds Macon is in Good
Condition.
The Board of Health held its regular
I monthly meeting this week

never been in as good sanitary condition

I was possible to do it with the forijp that
the board has under it.

AMERICAN
MEN OF MUSCLE
Have Distinguished Them
selves Abroad During
this Season.
American men of muscle have distin
guished themselves in clever style in feats
ol skill, speed and induranee abroad this
season. More than one Yankee athlete has
won international medals and glory on for
eign soil. Orton, the premier of American
distance runners, showed a clean pair of
heels to the speediest runners in Great Bri
tain. Hobart and I’aret, the tennis ex
perts, made an excellent showing, consid
ering their disadvantages on the English
courts, while Howell, the oarsman, tri
umphed over all competitors in England's
classic sculling event, winning the dia
mond challenge sculls, says the New York
Journal.
Howell’s victory was a revelation to the
English oarsmen. He not only defeated
their representative, H. T. Balkstaff, of
the Vesta Rowing Club, but established a
new record for the Henly course of 8 min
utes and 29 seconds. The best previous
record was 8 minutes and 34 seconds, held
by Balkstaff.
The American colors were again in the
lead in the English amateur championships
at Stamford Bridge. George W. Orton, of
the New York Athletic Club, gave his Eng
lish competitors a lesson in the two mile
steeple chase, clearing every hurdle with
mechanical precision, and winning easily
in 11 minutes 48 1-5 seconds.
J. Parmley Paret succeeded in winning
the single? in the Irish Championship Ten
nis Tournament, and Clarence Hobart, by
superior play, advanced to the semi-finals
in the All-England Championship Tennis
Tournament singles. He, with Nisbet,
reached the finals in the doubles.
The Americans were greatly handicap
ped by the new conditions abroad. The
balls in the English courts are much faster
than those in this country, and the turf is
much harder.
Miss BessicmMoore, one of America’s best
lady tennis experts, has ‘also competed
abroad with more or less success. She was
considerably handicapped, owing to a lack
of knowledge of the English tennis courts,
and jier showing was not up to the usual
mark of excellence. -

THE HEIGHT OF SOLDIERS.
Their Average Stature Declines as Euro
pean Armies Are Increased.
As the size of modern armies is increased
the average height of lighting men is di
minished. The Tngeblatt of Berlin ascribes
the reduction in the average stature of
soldiers in modern tirtnies to conscription
and says that in the German army it is
now only tiO.tlfi inches. In the British
army the height is (>4 ‘-'l inel.es, showing
the tallness of the average Englishman
ami Scotchman Freiicbm -n and Span
iards are taken at 1.54 ii’.etera Italians nt
1.55 n eters (til inches), an ; l tho same
minimum inoasuretnent if. the rule in
Austria The Russian minimum is 1.5!
meters',"and in the United Stafe.-i it i
l.tlld meters inches)
In lSt>o, l.ei'm-e the beginning of the
American civil war mid belorotbe general
arming of Emojie, the average height of
men serving in tho various Europetin
tumies was ;w. follows, given in inches:
Italian, t>s, Spaniard, (>5.5; French, (56;
Hungarian, 6(5.1; Austrian. 66.5; Belgian,
66.9; Russian, 67; English, 67.5, Irish,
(58; Scotch, (its.s; Norwegian, 69.
Although the average height of soldiers
has doei-eased during the last few years
conriderably in those countries in which
conscription is the rule, it is found gener
ally that in countries in which peaceful
conditions prevail and no great standing
army is maintained the stature of new
soldiers is gradually inere.-i-sing. This is
shown ismspeeuoosly in the case of Swe
den, where t lie average of height of new
soldiers between IMO anil 1850 was (56
inches, (ib. J between 1850 and 1860, 66.(5
In’twei'n 1860 and 1' 70, 66. S between 1870
and 18S0 and 69 between 1880 and 1890.
The proportion of re.ieetvd soldiers in
France has decreased from 37 per eent in
the decade beginning 1840. 35 per cent in
the deviuie beginning 1860 and 33 per cent
in the decade Ik>> inning in ISSO to 30 jht
cent at present The number of conscripts
now rejected on account of height isles',
every year in consequence ’n rh.<; sos the
fact that tho inlnimum height limit of the
French army has lsx-n steadily decreased.
American soldiers have preserved dur
ing many years the same height substan
tially, though the met is well known that
soldiers from the western and s >u»hwest

PEACHES USE UP ICE.
It Takss at Least Ten Tons to Carry a Car
Load to Destination.
The statement is made that it takes any
where from six to ten tons of ice to place
a. carload of Georgia peaches in a Western
or Northern market in good shape, and
more frequently the latter amount. Ice is
a big item of expense in the handling of
the crop. Carload lots of it are shipped
down from the West to the peach district,
Fort Valley and Marshallville being the
main depots, and there the refrigerator
cars receive their first baptism of coldness.
An arctic temperature is secured before
the ear is handed the shipper for the re
ception of his fruit.
The heat from the freshly picked
peaches, though, forces reicing to some
extent at a comparatively near-by point,
and at Atlanta njost of the cars receive
another large quantity of ice to keep the
temperature down to the, desired point of
preservation. This second icing will, it is
said, keep the fruit in splendid shape and
not requiring any further supply until
Alexandria, Va., or some point thereabouts
is reached, if they are East bound, or to
the Ohio river, if going West. In between,
though, a careful w’atch is kept on the
temperature of the cars, and if there is
any necessity for further icing the matter
is attended to at the most convenient
point.
The refrigerator car company is pledged
10 get the fruit to market in good shape
for sale, and the matter of a ton or two
more of ice is not allowed to enter ‘into
consideration, when a earload of peaches,
worth hundreds of dollars, is at stake. In
very hot weather the quantity used may
run above the maximum mentioned. After
the peaches get chilled through the con
sumption of ice is not as great as at first.
Considerable latent heat is let loose from
a earload of peaches, and the effect is
readily apparent during the first few hours
that they are in transit.

The Convention’s Hard Task.
It is related that in the later forties, or
theeveof a Democratic state convention iq
Albany, Dean Richmond and I’eter Caggei
were in consultation. Something likethh'
was tho dialogue between the two bosses:
"Whom shall we put up for governor!’
asked Richmond.
"Seymour will do. He is able, respccta
ble, popular and will render tho tick-, t
invincible,” answered Cagger. And Sey
mour’s name went down.
"Who for attorney general?” queried
Richmond.
‘‘Oh, Tremaine. He is by far the l-esf
of the lot. Besides, wo want the Van
Buren influence.” And down went Tro
maine.
“Who for secretary of state?” quoth
Richmond.
“Van Ness. He is capable and respect
able, anu we want the influence of th*
Knickerbockers anyhow.” And down
went Van Ness. And so it was until the
ticket was completed, with the exception
of superintendent of education.
“Peter, whom shall we name for that?
There are three or four candidates. 1
never heard of either of them before,” said
Richmond.
“Oh, d—n it,” returned Cagger, “let
tho convention nominate the candidate for
superintendent of publiceducation.” And
down that wont too.
The following day the convention put
through the slate so constructed in less
than two hours. Jt required more than
two days to nominate the candidate for
superintendent of education.—Louisville
