An oculist of Now York City sayi
that there was nothing in any way re
markable aV ut the operation for cat

of operation nor the uso of cocoaine
during ita performance was novel. The
favorable result in the case was not an
unusual thiug in cases of tho kind.
The patient did not nocd to exhibit
any "heroiHui" when in tho oculist'
care, or even any particular fortitude,
as tho danger was not worth speaking
of, and the pain must have been very
blight. It i probablu that Clla lstouo's

glorify him because he submitted to
the extraction of the crystalline lens.
W o are constantly dealing with eusec

HEAVY ARMOR PIERCED.
Failure of the 17-Inch Carnegie Har
vey lzed Plate.
A 17-lnch Harveylzed armor pluto, manu
factured by the Carnegie comjmtiy, met with
disaster at the test nt Indian Head. The
plate Itself cost 421.000, weighed 33 tons, and
was ono of a group of plates weighing 387
tons, w hich are worth to the Carnegio com
pany 4240.000. The plate had been made
with as great care as possible by the Carnegie
company, and It was hoped that a suceetwtul
group bad U-en secured, for it was desired to
remove, as far as possible, t'ie doubts cast on
Harveyl.ed stuul plates bv the failure of the
is-inch plate made by tho ikithlehcin
company, and tested some time ago.
This plate was as sound and lino
a specimen of llarv -ylwd armor as lias
ever been turned out.' At least tbat is what
the Carnegie company thought. Tho second
test was tne one turn Uili tuu uatiiage. Tne
W heeler-Sterling 12-Inch shell weighing 850
pounds was used, with 300 pouuds of brown
prismatic powder, giving an initial velocity
of l.M5s foot pounds, and an energy of 20,370
iooi ions.
The s iell pierced the nlnto entirely, smash.
Ing through the three and a half feet of oak
backing three feet of oak supports: through
50 feet of earth beyoud, nnd into tho woods
lor ion yams.
This was tho first shell of tho kind which
was manufactured by purely American pro-
t.-sns, woicu uau ueeu ueveiopeu lu this
country.
The shot did ns much damage as any shot
ever did. Tho result was entirely unexpected
to the Caruegles and the ordinance officers.
Cat. Sainoii said tho shell was a phenom
enal oue and the plate soft. The failure on
sucn a good plate was entirely inexplicable,
lu the Hrst test n Caris-nter sneclal o. .1.1.
weighing H.Ml pounds, was used, with nchargu
oi zwpoiimis oi nrown prlmatle powder.
Tho velocity of the shell was 1,410 feet, and
It hint au energy of 11,729 foot tons. The
sin il pier-ed the plate 13' ; Inches, and with
out being smashed the shell rebounded some
(Ml fi-et. Tim plate was uncra-'ked and the
structure ns rigid ns ever. Tho shot exult
ilea ti at tho shell was phenomenal, and hnd
come In contact with an insufficient loir.lei.e.1

It had done everything necessary to inuku

more satisfactory than the llrst. The pro-is-tlle

the one which failed to pierce the llethleliem
