Considerable interest is taken by naval ohiciaia here ind at Washington in the efforta whloh inventors are making to construct a shell containing a chemical compound which, when it strikes the water, will blaze up and illuminate the surround ing atmosphere. During the war with Spain, Rear-Adimral O'Neil, chief of irdnance, expressed his willingness to try inventions of this character. A shell containing oaloinm chloride a-aa submitted a few weeka ago and ha just been fired at the Indian Head prov lng grounds. Lieutenant Strauss, in charge ol the proving grounds, has re (Kilted to Admiral O'Neil that the pro jeotile ia too oumbersome and too light, turning over and over in its flight, though when it struck the water it burned with an excellent light. Snoh a projectile would be extremely valua ble in time of war, as a warship equip ped with several of this type would be- able to discharge them at an enemy' torpedo boat, for instance, and by the light thus produce would be able to de i troy the attacking vessel. ton Bill" Shelved.

Cassie Boone, a young woman, was enticed from her home by fonr white men, carried to the woods near by and as saulted with knives. The woman wai gashed with knives in the fleshy part of her body, the cuts being from foui to 12 inches in length. Then coal oil waa poured over her and she was set on fire and released in the woods, to run screaming nntil she fell dying. When found a small braid around the forehead was the only shred of clothing left on her body. Cassie Boone was 20 years old, the daughter of Uoorge Boone, a farmer. She was one-quarter Indian. The girl's reputation, it is said, was not good. Last Sunday evening she left her home with Sam Woodward to visit Vinee Melton. She left there later in the evening with Tom Steod and James Jackson, presumably to return to hex father'a house. Nothing more was heard of her till she waa seen Monday night running through the woods.

Kiev en others are still in the office of the chief of engineers in process of examination upon the ques tion whether they interfere with navi gation. Four more, just received, are in the office of the secretary of war, and will today -be sent to the chief of engineers.
