Paris, April 2fi,
A shell crashed through the window of a flat early this morning, filled the room with smoke and dtist, and broke the mantelpiece. It has been discovert that the gun fired was being secretly tested from a military aeroplane. The inventor claims that piercing the iron shutter and wrecking the room at a thousand yards is a splendid demonstration of the efficiency of the gun, which is 01.2 ft long and projects from a sort of trough on a strongiy-built biplane.
