Bullet Stopping Tricks.
Five feet of clay, three feet of loos;i
earth, or two and n half feet of snud
will stop n modern rllle bullet at the
closest range; but. curiously enough, a
tho layman may think, ramming earth
hard reduces Its resisting power, and
high velocity bullets have less pene
tration In sund nt short than at me
dium range. Eighteen Inches of sand
between boards Is bullet proof, yilsu
nine Inches of well built brick work
Soft wood, llko fir, across the grain la
bullet proof nt point blank range if
forty-eight inches thick, or ntfiOO yards
if half as thick. Similarly, twenty
seven Inches of bard wood, like oak,
is point blank proof, or fifteen inches
nt COO yards. Half an Inch of wrought
iron or mild steel, a quarter of nn Inch
of hard steel, or n fifth of nu Inch of
special steel Is bullet proof. So aro
six Inches of shingle, fifteen Inches of
coal, or, ns somo people may be sur
prised to know, eight feet of snow.
