While there should bo a high degree uf temporature at tho point touched by tbo ball, it seems that tho ball alone feela the effects, for tho protector does not seem to be- burnt in the slightest. 1 These results are not limited to ballostlo effects, for in tho recent ex periments It was sought to pierce the I armor with a dagger driven with all j possible force. The point of tho J arm, howevor, could not penetrate 1 the felt and was bent luto a shape less mass. It la natural to suppose tbat tho force of tho ball would be communi cated to tho armor, aud tbat this would be dtiven violently backward, resulting in a disagreeablo shook aud one which at times would bo j dangerous to tho wearer. To demon strate tho Incorrectness of this view, Signor Douedetti attached his pro tector to a horso aud fired upon tho animal only six feet nway with an orduanco revolver, the ball falling at the foot of the horse, while he, freed from his halter, walked away aa if nothing had happened. It is to bo noted tbat with tho samo revolver a pieco of stool had been previously piorcod. The samo oxporimeut wua- with a tho right kind of properties can bo found.
