TESTING ARMOR PLATES. A Trial of Interest to :oirrniiieut Ord. mine.- lUperU. Wasiiixoto.v, May 20. At Indian Head proving ground a 17-inch armor plate, typical of the turrets of the battleship Massachusetts, will lc attacked by tho PJ-ineh rifle under conditions similar to those of last Saturday, which resulted in demolishing an iMneh plate at the first shot. The result of the trial is awaited with unusual interest by the ordnance experts on the contention made by the steel contractors that the Ilarveyi.ing process is unstiited for plates of over twelve inches thickness as severe internal strains are developed by the treatment that rentier the steel exceedingly brittle. This Idea has been combatted by naval ollieers. who declare that the faults discovered sire more probably due to the luck of sullleient care exercised by the manufacturers.
