base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
about, three inches in diameter was
bloVn through the projectile, the
other part of the base plnte being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents nre believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp or there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are

FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Knrmer Milken the Clnlm Thai
He Uuk ( p the Original
MoniiNcrlpt.
Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, 111., over a discovery made by
Marshal Fenrod, who lives on a farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stump out of a po
tato field close to his residence and
found n stone about a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
pocketbook, attracted his attention,
and. upon close examination, he found
carved on us lace in tne r.ngush lan
guage the following words: “This
stone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon).—.Joseph Smith."
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little headway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the sfone was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in.
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con
taining writing in hieroglyphics that
could not be deciphered.
Gold Production.
Australia and California have each

also has almost exactly the same nuau
