Publio interest has been much con cerned in the last year with the tests of armor made at the naval ordnance prov ing ground at Indian Head. These ex periments or tests were proceeding without attracting much attention ex cept among experts in ordnance until one day the announcement was made that a steel armor plate costing between $15,000 and $20,000 had been shattered by a projectile from one of the big guns and that the contractors who made it were the losers not only of the value of the plate, but possibly of the value of the entire group which the experimental plate represented. This statement drew attention to the proving ground as per haps no other circumstance could have done. The idea of smashing a $20,000 plate in time of peace without any com pensation except the assurance that the group of plates from which it was taken was probably proof against the projec tiles which one might expect to be hurled against them was so prodigal that the general publio wallowed it open mouth ed and remained staring. The commer cial computation had brought to general attention for the first time the oostlv character of the tests which are being made constantly under the direction of the ordnance bureau of the navy depart ment at this proving ground on the Potomac river just below Washington. Costly, but Necessary. The inspector in charge at Indian Head thinks nothing of breaking into small pieces before breakfast a plate which has cost the government $10,000 or of hurling against it a projectile worth $500 or $600. Experiments made at the factory will demonstrate in a general way the tensile strength and other qual ities of the metal ; but as the sole proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the only way to demonstrate the power of resistance in a group of plates is to put one of them up against an oak backing with a sand bank in the rear for safety and bangaway at it until it is ruined. They are vastly interesting, these tests at Indian Head, the more perhaps because they are supposed to be made in secret In fact, however, there are usually newspaper men present at the chief tests and the results are always made public by the bureau of ordnance, but admittance to the proving ground is to be had only at the hands of the chief of the bureau of ordnance and for some good and sufficient reason. Work at Indian Head. The proving ground was at Annapolis for a number of years. In 1891 it was removed to Indian Head, which is more conveniently located. Four officers and about 125 workmen are engaged at the proving ground. All that they do all day long is to load shells, mount targets and fire guns. Thus they test powder, projectiles, guns and armor for the ships of the new navy. The armor comes from private establishments which are under contract to supply it to the government Most of the projectiles are made by pri vate contractors. The powder is of both foreign and domestic production. Only the larger guns are strictly of govern ment make, and they are the product of the naval gun factory which was estab lished ten years ago at the Washington navy yard. Big guns line the little valley in which the tests are made. A heavy traveling crane carries them from the wharf at which they are landed by the towboat Triton and mounts them on their carriages whenever they are needed for the tests. This crane can reach any part of the proving ground, for it may be run on a temporary track, of which there are several sections, bolted to heavy timbers. It takes usually two days to carry a big gun from the wharf and mount it It takes six days to carry to the sand bank opposite the big guns the backing of heavy oak tim bers, made 36 inches thick, and to trans port to the same place and put in posi tion against this .backing the heavy steel plate. This plate may be 16 feet long, 7 feet wide and 18 inches thick. One Shot For $550. The possible force of a projectile fired from one of the 13 inch guns was well illustrated recently when a plate which had already been tested and passed was put up against a new backing and struck with a Carpenter projectile weighing 1,100 pounds. The big plate of steel was split asunder and a piece represent ing almost one-quarter of it was lifted over the end of the sand bank, while the projectile, after penetrating the steel and its oak backing and passing through ten feet of sand, caromed into the tim ber. The shell was brought back appar ently uninjured, but unfit for any fur ther use. The contract price at which the government had bought it was 50 cents a pound, so that one shot cost the government $550 in the value of the projectile, and if the plate had been un touched would have represented a loss of $10,000 in the demolished armor. All of this loss, of course, falls on the gov ernment if the plates are accepted. If the plates and projectiles are below the standard, the contractor is the loser by their destruction. It is a costly method of ascertaining the value of armor, and the man who will devise some method by which accuracy in testing the resist ance of steel plates can be determined without destroying one of the plates should be entitled to a reward amount- OSBORN HOUSE;hgtoKTCrJhTS Experiments have been made with sugar as a diet and a comparison made between the results of a diet in which sugar was a predominating feature and another in which there was no sugar. From these comparisons it was found that when nine ounces of sugar were taken in addition to the ordinary diet the gain in muscular power or the abil ity "to do muscular work was increased from 10 to 86 per cent A very small additional amount of sugar to a regular diet was productive of similar results, but the percentage was not quite so large. Practical tests have been made by Mr. O. A. Barber, who added several ounces of sugar to the daily diet of each boy in a big boarding school, and the resajt showed that boys who were given ,tbe additional amount of sugar in their food were capable of doing much more muscular work than their companions. Douglas Sladen, in an interview upon the subject, said that in his opinion sugar was an excellent food, or, rather, adjunct to the regular diet, in pro ducing muscle. "The value of sugar as a food is shown," said he, "by the quantities of it eaten by the West Indi an and southern negroes during the sugar cane season, and it is one of the most difficult forms of nourishment to go without The lumber men in the northern and Canadian forests are won derfully strong and well developed, and this is largely due to the quantities of sugar which they eat in the form cf molasses. For those who work in the open air sugar is as necessary in some form or other as is salt" New York Journal. SHORT NEWS STORIES.

The most interesting relics of past ages that one encounters in the Guiana country are immense stones containing hieroglyphic inscriptions. These are to be found on the sides of the mountains and upon many of the rocks in the riv ers throughout British and Venezuelan Guiana and have evoked a great deal of discussion among ethnologists. No theory regarding their origin has yet been accepted, though they are said to be similar to those found in the explora tion of Phoenicia. Dr. Maracano of Par is, after a careful study of the skulls found in an old Indian burial ground of the upper Orinoco, says that they are similar to those discovered in the Egyp tian tombs, from which is deduced the theory of Phoenician origin, and a con firmation of the existence, in former times, of the Atlantic" archipelago, by which one could cross from the African coast to South America in small' boats. W. Nephew King in Century. The Best Mother. In a herdic the other day a manly little fellow got up from his seat by the door and moved down to tho other end to make place for a one legged old gentleman whose crutch would have made havoc of the dainty dresses. "Thank you, my son," said the old fel low. "You have a good mother." "Best ever was," was the smiling re sponse of the little fellow as he raised his hat and then took the fare to put in the box. That was a boy in 1,000, and his stockings were darned at the knee and the hem let out of his short knee pants, so that riches had nothing to do with it One must think sometimes, when riding in public conveyances, that "good mothers" are a scarce article, or "better boys" boys with improved manners would be more frequently met with.

What They Thought of General Qrosvcr.oi When Representative Larey of Iowa was home recently, he found an over whelming interest among his constitu ents in the presidential situation. "MeKinley seems to be gaining right along," remarked one in a group on the street corner, where they wero holding Lacey up to hear the latest news. "Yes, " said the statesman, "accord ing to the figures he is making a fat race. ' ' " What's the name of that congress man from Ohio who fixes up tho McKin- ley bulletins in Washington?" aked an other. "You mean Congressman Gmsvenor, I suppose," remarked Lacey. "How do you call his name?" asked the other. "Grove-nor, " said Lacoy, "the letter 's' is silent. " "Silent?" echoed the interrogator, "silent? I didn't suppose there was any thing silent about that man, not even a letter in his name. ' ' Washington Post Don't hang your curtains at windows v portieres at dnr& cf different materi als.

The little creature infests the parasite of the bee and has lately been studied by M. Bertsch. The professor photographed the little midge and then enlarged it 1,000,000 times with a miscroscope. In that condition it was found that it was covered with a hollow shield and had feet armed with sharp claws. With these hooked feet the acarus keeps a firm hold upon the microscopic creature from which it de rives its nourishment, and which in turn preys on the honey bee. How much further can we hope to fathom the mys teries of organic creation? St Louis Republic. Smokeless Powder.

The recent X ray discoveries have brought back to the people of Wakelee, Cass county, a circumstance which at the time was considered supernatural. Nearly a score of years ago a farm b one was struck by lightning. In an upper front room was a blank white wall op posite two windows that faced the road. The first visitors to tho scene were as tonished to find on the blank wall an exact picture of the outside front of the house just as it appeared from the read. The picture was perfect and distinct as a negative. After nine days it gradual ly disappeared from the wall without even being copied. Battle Creek (Mich. ) Moon. Space For Flowr.

Nothing gives such a touch of beauty to even the humblest h':ue as the grow ing flnwiis which bright- n the dullness of oricks and back walls. If the van I is to small for planting, shelves run along the sides of the fence can hold Nix- s of growing plants which give a s: rt of garden -t?ict to the vard.
