Some important experiments havcbcea
made at the Shoe bury ness school of gun¬
nery in high angle firing. A London
correspondent writes: Probably no step
of recent years i? ’ ’ to lead to greater
results, for if tb. . .. rimentshould b*
repeated w ith the same success, it is un¬
deniable that warships will have to be a*
fully protected on their decks as they are
now on their broadsides. The experi¬
ments were mads with the 0-inch or
23-centimeter gun used as a howitzer.
An elevation of 87 dega. was given and
battering charges were used with Palliser
shells. Out of four shots three fell with¬
in a space of ■ 1 feet by 80 feet, repre¬
senting the d< fa first class ironclad,
and the range . ed was twelve miles!
Now, if it U; really possible, three
times out of four, or for that matter
once out of four times, to throw a nine
inch shell upon the deck of a ship in
niidchannel between Dover and Calais,
another proof will have been given that
in the tedious duel between gun and
armor the gun has much the best of it.
What is very important, too, is that the
heavy charges and the high angle did
not strain either gun or carriage in the
least, and one of the officers present ha?
said that ho believed the gun would
stand 45 deg*, of elevation without in¬
jury, while with 42 degs. a range of
fifteen miles would be secured. Now, at
fifteen miles,a ship Is “hull down,” so it
comes to this, that we can throw a nine
inch shell on to the deck of a ship before
we can see itl Surely this is the most
marvelous thing yet attempted in gun¬
nery, which of later years has been sc
fruitful in surprises.—Army and Navy
Register.
About Soutli American Mosquitoes.
Somo ludicrous stories aro told about
adventures with the musquitoes. I
have been solemnly assured that very
often when they havo attacked a boat
and driven its captain and crew below
they have broken the windows of the
cabin by plunging in ewarras against
them and have attempted to burst in the
doors. Although this may be something
of an exaggeration, it is nevertheless
true that frequently horses and cattle,
after the most frightful sufferings, have
died from musquito bites on board the
vessels. Not long ago a herd of val¬
uable cattle were being taken from the
L T nited States to a ranch upon the Mag¬
dalena river and became so desperate
under the attacks of the musquitoes that
they broke from their stalls, jumped into
the water and all were drowned. Pas¬
sengers intending to make the voyage
usually provide themselves with protec¬
tion in tbe shape of musquito bars, head
nets and thick gloves, and when on deck
are compelled to tic their sleeves around around
their wrists and their pantaloons
their ankles.—American Magazine.
Ilovr tho Paraguayan* Fought.
It was not alone the Paraguayan men
and boys who had to bear arms in that
struggle. “Food for powder” of that
kind was soon exhausted. Then came
the women’s turn to fight, and, indeed,
from an early period of the war, mothers,
wives and sweethearts had donned the
soldier’s uniform and fought bravely in
the ranks with those they loved.
After a certain battle, whwi'the bury¬
ing parties were busily pursuing their
grim work, they came upon the bodies
of two loving companions in arms,
clasped in a last embrace.
The head of one rested on the other's
breast, while an arm was closely drawn
round him, the disengaged hand being
raised to stanch the life blood flowing
from a cruel gash. They looked like two
true comrades whose friendship death
itself had not been able to sever.
That, however, was not all their his¬
tory. A wounded mother, in a soldier’s
guise, had dragged herself to the spot
where her son lay bleeding, and there, had
regardless of her own fatal injuries,
placed his head upon her breast, and
tried to soothe his last living moments,
as slie had done his first on earth.—Win-
thK>p’s “Reminiscences.”
evolution of the Colored Itaec.
The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some of the birthmarks pccul-
jar to the African race. The new gen-
eration is showing the effects of a higher
culture. Especially is this noticeable in
the towns where contact with the whites
shows its effect. The fiat nosed, kinky
headed negro is passing away and be-
coming an unknown race. All the col-
ored children, no matter how dusky in
hue, show the change. .Among the
females, long hair of that peculiar woolly
smaller mouths with thinner lips are the
rule. For years, and in fact ever since
their freedom, the negresses liave en-
deavored to do away with the short kinky
hair bestowed upon them by their ances¬
tors. Much of their sparo change is in-
Tested in various tonics and invigorators,
and the long attention and care bestowed
upon it is shown in their descendants.
The South Georgia negro is an evidence
of evolution, the survival of the fittest. —
