SHOOTING THROUGH STEEL.
Tests WliicV Axe Being Conducted hy tha
Cramps on the Xewis Farm.
The futility of piling steel armor
plates on war vessels is being demonstrated at the new testing ground of the
Cramps. There at intervals of a few-
days conical steel shells are flred through
four inches of solid steel armor plate
with as apparent ease as though the
plates were the flimsiest cardboard. The
range is on the Lewis farm, above
Wheatsheaf lane, along the Delaware
river. The shells, which are 3 inches ln
diameter and 10 inches long, aie forged
from the finest hardened steel and fitted
by the Cramps for use in the United
States army and navy, and it is to test
the quality of the steel in different lots
that these experiments are being conducted.
A heavy abutment of railroad ties has
been erected as a fender to hold a bank
of earth, and in front of thatis placed a
heavy oak plank box 5 feet square and
10 feet long, which is filled with sand.
Against another fender in front of this
box is set up 'one of the armor plates,
such as are used on the armored cruisers
and battleships now being'trailt. One
hundred feet distant from the plate is
the firing house, a plank building about
80 feet long ty 10 feet wide and" double
lined to deaden sound.
Two 3 inch rapid firing Driggs-Schroe-
der guns are used in the test. When everything is ready for firing, a lanyard is
passed out of the back of the building
and through an aperture in a pile of
heavy spruce joists, the gun having previously been sighted.
When the gun is fired, the wall of
steel is pierced by the projectile, leaving
only a fringe around the hole where the
shot passed out on the opposite side. It
is then sought for in the sand in the box
and examined closely as to condiiton.
Of course the shell is not charged, or
!t would explode and blow up the box
and all around after going through the
steeL Not all the shells fired at the steel
armor plate go through it, and this is
considered sufficient cause for condemnation of that batch of projectiles. The
experiments are all conducted by the
Cramps' regular staff of ordnance officers.—Philadelphia Record.

THE GOOD ROADS CRUSADE.
The following account of the Pullman strike was published in a late issue
of the Leeds (England) Star of Bethe-
lem. It shows what kind of an idea
some Englishmen have of this country.
"A big revolution is now going on in
United States of America, and there is
but little doubt tbat the government
will be defeated. The dictator, Debs,
has been driven from his palace and he
and his ministers are now hiding in
the mountains. The greatest trouble
has been experienced in the capitol of
Chicago, where Grover Cleveland, the
ring leader of the rebels, has obtained
complete control. The railroad track
at that place has been torn up and
thrown into the Mississippi river, a
stream considerably larger than the
Severn, and the stock yards, where the
government palaces are situated have
been razed to the ground. The trouble wasstarted by a man named Pullman,
who has a stronghold in the mountains
of Illinois, one of the most considerable provinces of the country.—Ex.

procurable, G-. A. Dykeman druggist
Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New
Discovery is undoubtedly the best cough
remedy; that he has used it in his family
eight years, and it has never failed to do
all that is claimed for it. Why not try a
remedy so long tried and tested. Trial

THE    SICK   HEALED.
The Weak  Made  Strong.
Indications That New Tork Will Soon Ba
Out of tlio Mud.
The reproach of having the worst
public roads of any country claiming
civilization may perhaps soon be lifted
from, the land. There is, at any rate,
good prospects now that the Empire
State will soon repudiate the reputati on.
The movement for "good roads" has received a great impetus throughout the
state during the past few weeks. A decided change of heart and front has come
abont in the quarters most influential to
the accomplishment of the objects sought
in the good roads crusade, and New
York will soon step to the front rank
among the 15 states that have taken up
the matter of better road construction.
The great difficulty in the way has
been the finding of a good system to supersede the old and inadequate "labor
system," dating back from, colonial
times, under which the taxes for road
maintenance maybe paid in Work on
the roads. There has been and still is a
wide difference of opinion among those
thoroughly convinced of the necessity of
a radical change as to the best method
of effecting it. The "county road law"
recently passed by the legislature has
lately won many supporters, although
for some time there was great opposition
to its adoption. It has an especial provision requiring all road taxes tobe paid
in money, and this provision is attracting support for the law.
The Farmers' club of •> central New
York, an important and influential organization, adopted resolutions recently
strongly favoring the money system and
warmly indorsing the county road law
as "a hopeful effort toward universally
good roads.'' The club estimates that the
loss from the use of the present roads
throughout the state amounts to §8,000, -
000 annually in the haulage of crops
alone, besides loss in failure to take
prompt advantage of markets, loss in
vehicles, harness and animals, and loss
in comfort, health and decency. The
matter of road improvement was declared to be "the one great state question bearing on agricultural prosperity.''
The New York state grange, which
represents some 86,000 farmers throughout the state, adopted resolutions at its
recent session in Utica strongly condemning the present system and indorsing a system of state roads, "provided
the personal property of the state is
made to boar its proportionate part of
the taxation necessary for such roads."
The plan of paying road taxes in money,
just as other taxes are paid, was strongly indorsed. A permanent committee
was appointed to keep close watch on the
progress of the good roads movement
and to suggest to the grange appropriate
legislation to be urged at Albany.   ,
Altogether the prospects for good public highways throughout the state were
never brighter than at present.—New
York Sn~
