On the night of the 24th of Agr 1 his subject was *Projec- tiles.” He began far back In ancient tlmes, and detcribed, with wonderful dlstinctneee, the carious old machine which the Romans used In sledges for throwing gr.at stones againet the walls and fortifications of beleagured citles. Thence, down through the middle ages, fie traced the many changes and improve- ments in the acience of projectlles, un! ths invention of gunpowder, Here he laid himself out, snd gave, with minute accuracy, the history of aitilery and small arms up t> the period, some forty years past, when first bagan the serios of improvements in long range guns, which culminated in the woaderful rifles and riflad cannons cf the prosent day. He illustrated the sabject with dia- grams on a very large blackboard. show- foy the pitcs, cannon cr rils, elevatad for a long shot, avd the trajectory or path of ths elongated, conleal ball. For a great distancy from the gun the track of the projactile was appareatly straight and ascenviog to agreas hefght; then ft began to curve downward, end the curve, slight at first, grew rapidly more and more decided, until at Ja't 1t was mors downward than forward. Pictares of the projestile we'e drawn at several points along 1t3 path, and the Professor called parttcuar a'tenton to the fact that the axis of the ball —that is, the im- aginary line pasting lengthwise and c:n- teally through it—preserved its paralecl- ism to the barrel ot the gan throughout it entlre course. In other words, if the gun was pointed upward at an elevation of thirty degrees, the projectile would all the way point upward at the eame angle, and finally striko 1ts distant target, not directly pofnt foremost, but eomewbat cidewlse. point upward and base down- ward, aund mske a hole throagh it of an elongated shape, mcra or less, accoiding to the eleiation of the muzzle of the gun above its breech. He was 5o claar in his explana‘ion of principals that the dullest listener could not fall to understand him.

The ball hid passed through the window glass, threugh the curtain, through the bed-cover, through his body, through the bed-1ail, glanced from the floor and stuck in the oppesite wall It was a very largs, clongated ball, and must have betn fired from a {zun with a heavy charge of owder, in order to go with so much orce, The gun, too, must have made a tremendcus report, and yet it was certain that no report of apy gun had been heard (n that nightin any part of the city, nor, In fact, io any other part, ae was known from par icular lequirles at headquarters, The hole throvgh the window glass was much higher than the bed, showing that the ball was descend- Iog, as if it had been fired from the clouds, The thing was entirely inom prehensible to the corone oner's jury, A mn had baen killed late hour of ths night, when all war hushed in silence, by a gun whoee report ehould have besn heard all over the o tv, aud no gun had been heard 1 was a hideous mysiery, But Powers had sn ides.

Without a moment's hesitatlcn he took a cab and drove rapldly to the soene of the murder. The coronc1's jury had made the clos €55 ox mination possible aud renderad their viedict: “Diath from a gavshot, flred by eome unkaown person, either ac- cldentslly or intentionally.” It was all they could say, for as no report of a gun had been heard it was impessible, as sug gested by one juror, that anyone mounted on a ladder could have done fit; mor coald It have been fired from any mear point outside upon the ground, stnce the per foration of the window proved that it waa from an elcvation, It came ont In the investigation that Mr. Vandyke had no enem!cs that anyone knew of in the clty; that abont a month befora, hi sorving man, Adolph Werner, a Swis: had loft him {5 et employment elsewhere, taking with him a certifica‘e of good char- acter, and that Pat Regan, sn Irlshman, had been hirad in his placs, It was slso shown that Mr. Vandyke was a little foose in his morals and quitea lady-k ller; that he had once been sued for breach of promiec by a gardener’s daughter, and once bsen asiaul‘ed with a pletol by a farlous danseure, whose sffections he had triflel with, Bnt these things had hap- pened years ago.
