r TURRET OF FLii I WITHSTANDS BIG GUN Mechanism in Good Order After Impact of 12-Inch Projectile. * j* NOT SURE SHELL EXPLODED Detonation Was Imperfect ami Full Force of Explosive Wasn't Realized?Fighting Mast a Success? i Tests May Revolutionize Navies, j i Fort Monroe. Va.?On the broad waters of Haniptcn Roads, near where forty-six years ago the Monitor and the Merrlmac riddled each other with shot and shell, two modern monitors engaged in a bloodless contest in the interest of niival science. The monitor Arkansas, of 3223 tons, fired six shots at her sister ship, the Florida, each of which was accurately aimed and effective One of the shots fjred by the Arkansas was a 12-inch projectiio loaded with a new high explosive. This shot struck the pori nlate of the Florida's turret justs a little to the side of a dummy gun which had been ,-laced in position to take the place of the regular 12-inch gun. The shot smashed the 12-inch armor protecting the front of the turret and also badly loosened the armor seams on the side of the turret. The naval experts declared after, this shot that the test had been highly ; successful. The force of the 12-inch j hi<rh emlosive shell had been entirely j spent in crushing the armor plate and I the cloth screen placed inside the turret ports showed no damage, indicating that none of the fragments of the exploding shell had entered the turret ports and showing, as 'Chief Constructor Washington L. Capps declared, that if any one had been in tho j turret at the time the powerful pro- j jectile struck he would not have been .injured. The only occupant of the j turret was a dummy man. arranged with springs and wires to record the shock. He was standing at the breech of one of the dummy 12-inch gun? and was unhurt. Five shots from 4-inch and 12-inch guns of the Arkansas were also fired at the experimental military mast on the stern of the Florida, but it withstood the ordeal. Several of the steel rods composing it were severed by the shells, but its stability was not lessened by the shots. The purpose of the tests was to de- j termine the effect of powerful gunfire j under modern battle conditions on 1 the fire control system, the turret . mechanism and other internal fittings j of the ship. As soon as the 12-inch ' shell exploded against the Florida's j ^turret. Chief Constructor Washing 1 ton L. Capps and Rear-Admiral New- j ton E. Mason, chief of the Bureau ol j Ordnance, made an examination ol ' the turret. They found that the tur j ret could be operated as well as be- ? fore the shot and that the 12-inch gur mechanism, which was to a certain ex- J tent shielded from the effect of the ! explosion, could be elevated and depressed as well as before the shot was fired. In other words, while the projectile smashed the port plate, the gear for moving the turret and for ' handling the guns and ammunition was not damaged. " It was the first time in the history of the United States Navy that actual conditions of warfare have been re- j produced for experimental purposes, j 17 BOSTON FISHERMEN LOST.

D. C. ? Preparations have been completed by the War Department for joint maneuvres during the coming summer of all branches of the regular service and many State militia organizations, for which Congress has appropriated $1,000,000. Instruction camps will be established and maneuvres held for one month at each place, as follows: Pine Plains, N. Y., June 15 to July 15. Chickamauga Park, Ga., July. Leon Springs, Texas, July. American Lake,.Wash., August. Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., August. Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., September. Fort Riley, Kan., September. Atascadero Ranch, Cal.. October. The army maneuvres, which are to be on a scale never before attempted in the United States, are to De carried out by Major-General Frederick D. Grant with the regulars of the Department of the East and a large force of militia. The operations, says General Grant, will include more men and cover wider territory than any previous, and, as far as can be, they will offer an approximation of warfare. The plan of campaign includes two separate series of operations, the first on the coast, the second inland. A series of coast defense maneuvres will be carried on simultaneously at the various fortifications from Baltimore to Boston. After four weeks of this coast defense practice, the commander believes, the troops, both regulars and national guards, will be thoroughly seasoned to powder, while the officers will have gained great familiarity with the particular styles of maneuvre involved, and the chiefs in command-will have plenty or valuable records as to the performances of the troops and the efficiency of the individual officers. A month or more later will come the inland maneuvres.

He is about to work out theories regarding child culture that he hopes and intends will result in the material benefit of the human race. To a World correspondent he said: "There are four steps in evolutionary development which are true in both the human and plant life. Burbank recognizes the gradations in his plant work, as did Stanford in the breeding of fine horse stock. Even so, they figure in the human race in the development of children. "These four steps or gradations are as follows: First, variation; second, sex crossing to carry on the qualities by heredity; third, selection, and fourth, cultivation and development. "Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford University, recognizes these same steps in a recent work. "As far as concerns the first two steps in evolutionary development, those called variation and crossing, they have been attended to already," explained Dr. Landone. No Artificial Marriages. "This country of ours is the most crossed, as far as races go, of any nationality on the face of the globe. We simply take the best representa tives of child life in the land and work with them. "Any effort along the line of artificial marriage is a failure, since true marriage is where each party to the contract is honestly in love with the other freely and of his or her own accord. The offspring of an artificial marriage would be a failure. "I will select ten to twelve children from various parts of the Uj !ted States for each of the first two or three years, and in these children I will seek to develop the best there is in them. "The basis of my system of education lor these children will be in the reconstruction of structure. The common way of changing a child who has Eccentric Recluse Left President Hoosevelt SIO.OOO.

Troops of the department from many posts, some as far as Washington, D. C.. will be marched so as to arrive at Pine Plains, near Watertown, N. Y., within three hours of each other. Large evolutions will then be carried out on much the same scale as in modern war. In introducing his plans General Grant began with a plain word or two on preparation for wa,r. "We are the most pugnacious nation on earth," he said, "and perhaps the least prepared for real trouble." He did not believe that "In God We Trust" was a gooa enougn mono iu excuse lack of military preparation. He went on to say: "I am preparing seacoast maneuvres for this summer to show how our big guns Sould knock out any foreign fleet that might come poking around with evil intentions." The absence of the battleship squadron in the Pacific has led, it is understood, to the attaching of much more importance in Washington this year to the maneuvres centring about the coast defenses of the Atlantic seaboard. Orders issued governing details of the maneuvres prescribe a "minimum of formal ceremonies and a total abnf moroiv cnor>tflftilar pxhibi Ot U U A. utvi vij w|> w v?ww ? ? tions." Practice marches have been ordered, in which infantry will cover 200 miles and cavalry 250 miles. The exercises will be carried out in a progressive manner, beginning with small bodies of troops and ending with the entire command. These exercises will comprise periods of attack and defense; periods of advance; rear and flank guards, and control work; periods of outposts and control work, to be followed by general maneuvres. It is understood that the State troops will not be required to do all of the work prescribed for the regular organizations.

Then it is easy enough for the child to pick up its old habits, although it may have reformed temporarily. "With my system the entire structure is changed. It is a different structure entirely, ?nd the child in order to get back into its old habits must not merely 'bacxslide,' but build back. Do you catch the essential difference between the two? "I will have four departments in my school this year. The first will be art, with special attention to music and sculpture; the second, therapeutic curing of incurable diseases, like spinal troubles, particularly; the third, remedying backward children who are deficient in some of the senses, as in color perception or in not hearing accurately, while the fourth will be the selection of those dozen children whom I will choose this summer, and the educating of them along the lines given in my special educational system. "These particular twelve I will educate free of charge; the other pupils I will charge for, as in other institu tions of educational character. Methods Will Be Radical. "My methods of work with these children will differ radically from the ordinary methods of teaching. For instance, you have observed, doubtless, many a man In the business world whose school training didn't extend beyond the seventh or eighth grade perhaps, but whose mental processes and accordingly whose business methods were on a better plan and were much better systematized than those of the man who had had more years of school and college training.

Father Joseph F. Lubeley, pastor of St. Joseph's Church at Salisbury, Mo.f 168 miles west of St. Louis, was stabbed twice while leaving the altar by Joseph Schuette, a wealthy parishloner. Schuette attacked the priest "just after he had finished high mass. Father Lubeley fell at the second blow, and Schuette then turned his knife on John Gates and Mrs. Earbr.ra Ginter, who had rushed up to aid their pastor. Mrs. Ginter was cut on the hand, and Gates was cut on the hand and on the elbow. Neither is seriously hurt. Father Lubeley was stabbed in the right temple and in the right side of the neck, the knife just missing the jugular vein. The attack came from behind in full view of about 400 worshipers while the priest was shaking hands with one of the women. ' A dozen men grappled with. Schuette after he had stabbed Mrs. Ginter and Gates, and he was quickly pinioned to the ground. He struggled desperately, shouting and snarling, and refused to be quieted, even when his wife and five children, who had accompanied him to mass, pressed around him.

Bishop Thomas Benicum, of Lincoln, Neb., and two nuns, the mother general of the Order of St. Joseph and aer assistant, both bound for their headquarters in Carondelet, were on the train and aided in caring far the wounded priest. Father Lubeley exhibited the greatsst fortitude during the five hours' fide to St. Louis. "I'll be all right unless the knife was infected," he said with a smile. . "But I cannot imagine why Schuette attacked me. We were the best of friends, and .1 never consciously did anything to incur his enmity. He must have lost his reason." Schuette, according to members of 3t. Joseph's Congregation, sat in the rear of the church during the high masd, though his family occupied their pew in the centre of the church. He is said to have glared at Father Lubeley throughout the services, and particularly during the sermon, gnashing his teeth in seeming rage.
