A NEW BULLET-PROOF CLOTH. It Does Not Cause a Shock to the One ’ Hit by a Missile. An article™ i Public “Opinion de: scribes the results of the Italian gov ernment’s exjeriments with the Ben detti bullet proof cloth. Theé “armor” 18 apparently 3 cort of felt, the stuff “being capable of adaptation to any form whatever, for example, a breast piece with a collar or a sort of. coat which completely envelops the wearer and absolutely guarantees him from gunshot wounds. = The thickness of the protector. varies from one-six teenth to seven sixteenths, according to the arm the effects of which it is designed to destroy.. Against the ar mor of the seven-sixteenths of an inch the regular ordnance revolver with steel covered ball is powerless, and also the gun of the 1891 model, charged with smokeless powder. The ball, whether it be of lead or steel, when it strikes the protector is. ar rested and deformed, in some cases rebounding and in others being almost reduced to pulp. Thus there is not only an arrest of the ball, but deforma tion as well, and in-this deformation the force of the ball is converted. It is natural to suppose that the force of the ball would be communi cated to the armor and that this would be driven violently backward, resulting in a disagreeable shock, and one which at times would be danger ous for the wearer. To demonstrate the incorrectness of this view Signor Benedetti attached his protector to a horse and fired upon the animal only six feet away with an_ ordnance revolver, the ball falling at the feet of the horse, while he, freed from his halter, walked away as if nothing had happened. It is to be noted that with the same revolver a piece of steel had been previously pierced. The same experiment was made with a chicken coverad with a breast piece of the felt; the cock, after being rid of his new shell, quietly pursued the even tenor of his way. : Mistaken Politeness. A Fort street car was bowling along toward Woodmere Cemetery the other afternoon when a white-haired old man who had been sitting quietly in ftont of a stylishily-dressed young woman who was standing up started as if to rise and give her the five-cent seat. The young woman put her hand on his shoulder, and, gently restrau ing him, said: “Never mind, sir; just keep your seat.” The old man looked dazed for a block or two, then attempted to gain his feet, only to be again pushed back by the young woman, politely remark ing as she held him down: - “Keep your seat, please; ['ve stood up so long now that I don't mind it.” “Well,” said the old. man, In surill falsetto tones, “I want to git off! You’ve made me go half a mile past my street now!"”—Detroit News. Sense of Smell in the Aged. Old people have an atrophied sense of smell, and they do not seem to be conscious of this infirmity. - Even when they can scarcely distinguish one familiar odor in tea, and when they. take strong smelling liquids for pure water, thoy assert that they enjoy tha perfume of flowers. Their visual im ages, for they recognize the perfume of flowers when they are able to see ihem.
