rtunity of examining it.
He evidently has the most absolute faith in the qualities of his
invention, for he is anxious that the authorities of Governor's Island,
New York, shall make a test of his invention, and offers, to envelope
himself in the cloth and let the soldiers fire at him.
He wishes to sail for Europe and give exhibitions of his invention in
various cities.
If the Governor's Island test takes place, regular army rifles are to be
used, and the only precaution the priest will consent to is, that the
soldiers shall first fire at an animal, enveloped in the bullet-proof
cloth. When it is found that the creature escapes unhurt, the priest
insists that he shall be allowed to become the target.
