HIGH ilPWE TESTS
Experiments at Indian -Head Prov
ing Grounds With Thorite.
Attempts Will lie Made to Fcnctrnte
Ten-Inch Armor Plates With
Shells Containing: the Xcw Com
poundThe IteMults Ainitel "With
.Much Interest by anl Oilleinlx.
Experiments at the naval proving sta
tion, Indian Head, with the new high ex
plosive called thorite, which has been
tried at Sandy Hook by the Army with
some success, will be productive of much
interest.
The explosive is the-invention of Dr.
Tuttle, of California, and is said by some
ordnance men to be superior to guncotton
or other varieties of explosives heretofore
tested by either the Army or Navy. Its
chief characteristic is the fact that it Is
not easily affected 'by weather conditions,
being safe under all climatic changes Tor
use on shipboard.
The one great trouble heretofore expe
rienced by the Xavy with high explosives
tested is the great danger of premature
j explosion and the failure to secure a sub-
stance which will not explode on the im
pact of a projectile. What the naval ord-
j nane officers have been striving to obtain
is an explosive that will not become ef
fective until the usual armor of a warship
has bctn i-cnetrated. the object being for
the destruction to occur in the interior
of the vessel and the explosive not to be
spent on the face of the armor or while
the hell is penetrating the steel.
During the test at Indian Head the sides
of a battleship are to be simulated and the
cunditious made as nearly practicable a3
those that would exist when a first-class
armored esscl was struck by a seml-ar-mor-i-icicing
shell containing the new cx
plotite. A Hnrveyized armor plate, ten inches
thick, supported and bolted firmly, is to
repie&ent the side of the vessel, and above
and Ik-Jow, perpendicularly, on the inside
are to be two deck plates of three inches
each in thickness, the object being to de
termine the destructhe effect of the ex
plosive after piercing the armor against
the interior parts of a ship.
The precise number of pounds of explo
sive in the charge has not been detennin.
ed, nor have the ordnance experts the
slightest expectation of what the effect
will be. The rifle employed in the test is a
10-inch naval gun, firing the usual service
charge at a distance of about S00 feet from
the plate.
Previous tests at the proving station wi'h
high explosives have not been ery suc
cessful, and so far the Navy seems to have
found no trustworthy rxplosie that can
be used in shells with wail sufficiently
thick to penetrate ordinary side armor or
battleships. The new explosive is set o'f
by a detonating fise.
Cong-ess wo years ago mrd.z an appro
priation of $30,000 to continue experiments
witli explosives by the Navy, and the en
tire sum was exhausted without any val
uable direct results being obtained. The
Gathman shell, invented by a Chicago man,
wa- given an exhaustive, trial, and, after
several failures, was at last abandoned.
Lieutenant Strauss, in charge of the
proving station, believes this latest trial
will show for the first time what effect
te produced on the intefier cf a war vessel,
and especially against a protected deck,
bv exploding a highly charged explosive
shell.

In the support of Sarah CoweU.fLe
Moyne, whovill be seen next week at the
Columbia in Beatrice De Mill and
Harriet Ford's "The Greatest Thing in the
World." are three of America's most able
leading men. The.first of these, Frederick
De Belleville, will be remembered for his
work opposite Mrs. Flske in "Tess of the
D'Urbervilles." while the second, Robert
Edeson. won a conspicuous following
while assuming the title role in Maude
Adams' production of "Tho Little Minis
ter." Henry Jewett, the last, made his
stellar debut in this city with' "The Choir
Invlsible."vand was universally commend
ed for his acting. Considering tho scarcity
of efficient leading men, Mrs. Le Moyne
might be said to have a "corner" on the
market.

two travesties are to be interpreted, the
first a "take-off" on "In Gay New York,"
and the second a simlliar humorization ot

"Twice in ny life, up to five years ago, I had
felt my hair trawl," .-aid the prospector, "but as
to iu. standing on end I didn't believe such a
tiling possible. 1 was. knocking about the moun
tains of Idalw with a partner, when I went out
alone one day to pop over soma game for the
dinner pot J had gone a mile or more from camp
ind had descended to the bottom of a ravine to
get a drink of water, when I turned the top of a
fallen tree and ran plump against as pretty a
sight as JOU ever saw.
"On a grafiS tpot, in the full blaze of the sun,
lay four mountain lions fast asleep. For half
a minute I thought them dead, hut as I stocd
staring with my mouth open every one of tho four
sprang up with a growl. I had a Winchester in
m hands, but I could no more have lifted it to
my face than I could have uprooted the mountain.
The first sensation I Lad caught me in the ankle.
It was a numbness, as if my feet were asleep, and
it traveled upward until 1 stood there like a
block of ice. Onl my brain was left clear. On
top of the liumbnei-s came a feeling that I was
breaking out with a rash. Then the hair at
the back of my nick began to curl and twist and
kle and a minute latter every hair on my

me and smiling and growling and switchfng their

couldnn't; 1 don't' believe I moved an cvelash for
three minuts. Iiy and by one of the beasts dropped
his tail and whined. My unexpected presence and
queer appearance mv stifled him. His actions were
followed by another, and ten seconds latter the
four made a sneak down the ravine, growling and
whining as tliey went. They had been gone a
minute before I felt my blood circulating again,
and perhaps it was another minute before I
could move about. Then I found my hat on the
ground at my feet. There wasn't a breath of
wind down there, and if my hair didn't lift that
hat off my head how did it leave it? I know the
hat was pushed off. I know it, because -when I
got back- to camp my hair hadn't yet flattened
down, and when my clium rubbed his hand over
my head there was a crackling as of a rabbit
running through the dry brush. This slate of
thincs continued for two days and the -ray I

The Clone of n Long? Cmunulgn in
Favor of Improvement! A 31a
Meeting: Allrenel liy AKrlcultu
rnl Expert Objection io the Pro
noiml to Jkhuc 150,OQO liondH.
An enthusiastic mass meeting in the
County Court House at Fort Myer Heights,
Va., last night marked the closp of a live
ly campaign in favor of Improved and in
creased road facilities for Alexandria
county. Nearly four hundred citizens
were present, and information relative to
road construction was discussed at length.
Maurice O. Eldrldgo and E. G. Harrison,
both of this city, were present, represent
ing the Agricultural Department, and
gave suggestions. Illustrated by stereopti
con views thrown upon canvas, of tho
process followed in proper road con
struction. Speculation as to the result
of the, election is rife in the county, but
owing to the opposition which has de
veloped, no accurate forecast of the voto
can be ventured.
It was eight o'clock when tho gathering
was called to order last night at tho
County Court House. The court room had
been cleared and several dozen lamps,
placed at intervals, gave abundant light.
Mr. James E. Clements called the meet
ing to order, made a few remarks, and
then introduced Mr. Eldridge "as an ex
pert on road building, one who will give
us valuable information on the subject."
Arrangements had been completed for
ztcreoptlcon views during the afternoon,
and Mr. Eldridge, after a brier talk prin
cipally upon the advantages to be gained
from good roads, plunged into a volume of
Interesting and scientific data regarding
experiments formerly made by the depart
ment In other sections of the country,
where Improved roads had become an ac
complished fact.
His remarks were illustrated from timo
to time upon tho canvas and were most
interesting and instructive. Mr. Eldridge
showed the various estimates for macada
mized highways in different sections of the
country. He also submitted to view on the
canvas pictures of roads elsewhere, and
briefly explained the methods which had
been followed in securing the Improved
-oads in several localities.
George N. Saegmuller, Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors of the County, said
a few words in favor of the bonding propo
sition, as provided for "in a bill recently
passed by the Virginia Legislature. He
called attention to Xhv present deplorable
condition of the public highways and closed
with an appeal to the people to support the
project at the polls on Monday next.
Mr. Harrison followed presenting a num
ber of views from various sections, pur
porting to be the result of scientific inves
tigation and research Into improved road
building. He referred to the cost of bond
ing Alexandria County for $150,000, as pro
posed, and stated that In his opinion,
money would be saved the people in the
aggregate by the adoption of the proposed
measure.
The speaker was of the belief, he said,
that the bill would be upheld by the peo
ple; that they would recognize the great
importance of the proposition, and vvo-ld
accordingly support the measure as passed
by their representatives at Richmond. He
closed with reference to the financial con
dition, of the county, which, he said,
would not be in the least worsted by the
bond issue.
There were other short speeches, all fol
lowing along the same line as those
'quoted. It was evident that a strong
minority present was decidedly dubious re
garding the subject, yet the meeting was
organized by friends of the measure, and
ro opposition developed at the meeting.
Now that election dar Is almost at hand
interest in the project to bond Alexandria
county for the improvement and increase
of public highways is growing. There is
no doubt that the proposition will evoke
berious opposition. A campaign of "edu
cation" was declared necessary about two
weeks ago by those fathering the measure,
so great has been the feeling, against the
bill submitted to the people. This cam
paign closed last night.
It has been waged nightly, meetings
having been held throughout the county,
and speakers from this city, Alexandria
city, and the county, having urged the
matter before the voters. Nearly every
meetiug held recently, whether called by
the opponents of the bill or by friends of
the measure, has been attended by a pow
erful faction known to be violently oppos
ed to the whole project. The friends of
the measure which will be voted on Mon
day next, are dubious as to the result.
The various bills brought forward pro
viding for the bonding of 'Alexandria
county were discussed in the County Board
of Development, an organization composed
of representative business men having in
terests in ' the county. Consideration of
the subject occupied several months be
fore the board, special meetings being
held almost weekly, and warm debates
marking the progress of the discussion. It
was only after various concessions, prin
cipally the drawing of a substitute bill,
that the measure was finally approved by
a majority of the board. Whether this ac
tion will be seconded by the vote of the
people Monday cannot now be safely pre
dicted. Medical advice can onl be given by a
medical man or woman; one educated
and trained in the profession of medicine.
IT IS USELESS TO WRITE
TO A WOMAN
or man for medical advice unless such
are trained and qualified medical practi
tioners. Offers of "-medical advice " are
made by those who cannot give what
they offer, because they lack the med
ical training and professional qualifica
tions of physicians. You will not trust
your property to the-care of irresponsible
people. Will you trust your health?
Inquiry will show that no offer made b'
any advertising physician can compare
with that of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief con
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surg-ical Institute, Buffalo, N, Y.
Sick women can consult Dr. Pierce by
letter free. A1 letters are read and an
