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.

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.

The barbecue and dance at the Log Cabin I'lubb last night for the benefit of the sol diers relief association was a great success notwithstanding the fact that the weather had been threatening all day. A very nice sum was realized. The cue was perfection itself and a democratic dance was thoroughly enjoyed for the nonce by everyone who attended.

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. - O -ZK. J 3 T O Tl T A. .

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.

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. A Texas Wonder. HALL’S GREAT DISCOVERY.

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 Courier’ Journal.
