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.
