Probably the most remarkable butid- ing constructed wholly of ice was the palace billt on the Neva by the Osari- na Anne of Russia. Large blocks of ice were cut and squared with great care and 1aid on one another by skill- ful masons, who cemented the joints with water, which immediately froze. The building, when completed, was fifty-six feet long, seventeen and one- half feet broad and twenty-one feet high. It was of but one story. The tacade contained a door surmounted by an ornamental pediment and six win- dows, the frames and panes of which were all of ice. An elaborate balus- trade, adorned with statues, ran along the top of the facade and another bal- ustrade surrounded the building at the level of the ground. - The grounds were turther adorned with a life size figure of an elephant, with his mahout on his back. A stream of water was thrown from the elephant’s trunk by day and a flame of naphtha by night. A tent of ice contalned a hot bath, in which persons actually bathed. There were also several cannons and mortars of ice, which were loaded with bullets of ice and iron and discharged. Bullet Stopping Tricks. Five feet of clay, three feet of loose earth, or two and a half feet of sand will stop a modern rifle bullet at the closest range; but, curiously enough, as the laymap may think, ramming earth i hard reduces its resisting power, and high velocity bullets have less pene- tration in sand at short than at me- dium range. Eighteen inches of sand between boards is bullet proof. alsv Soft wood, Hke fir, across the grain is bullet proof at point blank range if forty-eight inches thick, or at 500 yards if half as thick. Similarly, twenty- seven inches of hard wood, lke oak, is point blank proof, or fifteen inches at 500 yards. Half an inch of wrought iron or mild steel, a quarter of an inch of hard steel, or a fifth of an Inch of special steel is bullet proof. So are six inches of shingle, fifteen inches of coal, or, as some people may be sur- prised to know, eight feet of snow.— London Express.
