Sings to a Machine.


Miss Estella Louise Mann Of New
York makes an excellent living by
singing. Strangely enough, however,
there is not person before her, but the
lack Of an audience is more apparent
than real, for thousands of persons
have heard her voice. She sings into
the reverberating hollow tubes of a
phonograph. Hers is one of the few
feminine voices which have ever made
a successful record for the photograph
or graphophone. Her voice is power
sfui and her enunciation distinct and
clear or she could not have remained
IN the business. To sing without an
audience is not very inspiring, but Miss
Mann says when she takes her stand
before her photograph every morning
she simply imagines that she has the
world at her feet, and that helps her to
expend her best effort She is a daugh-
ter of e. H. Mann, assistant superinten-
dent of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company, and graduate of the
Cincinnati Musical college. Her songs
from her records" can be heard from
twenty to forty feet from any good
sized photograph.

A Word About War.

From labor journals all over the
country comes a solemn note of warn
ing and protest against organized
workers allowing themselves to be car
ried away by what they term the $50
called appeals to patriotism" issued
by their natural enemies" presumably
the classes. But the Glasses" are not
asking the masses to go to war. They
have strained every nerve, exerted all
their influence, striven with all their
power, to hold back the government
from war, and that this righteous con-
tict is on is due not to the wishes of the
plutocracy, but to the influence of the
aroused conscience of a mighty, JUS
tice-loving people, who regard the re-
lief OF suffering nation as their nara
mount duty, and who care not at all
If the ensuing shock of war should
shiver the props OF a dozen thrones
and involve wholesale and whole

racy-royalty, nobility and wealth.
War is not an unmixed calamity.
peace is not an unalloyed blessing
Each has its chapter of horrors. Each
has its tale Of invasion, of pillage of
determination, and of conquest Rut
a prolonged peace gives a nation a spe-
cies of dry-rot, and it is well that we
are awakened today by a call to arms
in such a righteous cause, for, verify

cession of victories won over the neo-

an epoch Of intellectual advancement

New Quick Firing Gun.

Messrs. Kynochs of Birmingham,
England, have for some time past been
engaged in perfecting the mechanism
of new quick-fring gun, and they
have, it is stated, succeeded in produc-
ing weapon long way ahead of any
other gun of a similar type. BY turn
ing a wheel, the whole mechanism is
set working, and 600 magazine bullets
are discharged minute. The gun,
which weighs only one hundred
weight, is single barreled. While in
action, 1t is kept cool by a water-jack-
ct, which is filled automatically. The
firing action is supplied with cartridges
by an endless belt, which passes
through box and collects the cart
ridges. The gun will kill at three
miles, the barrel being made to swing
from right to left. 1t will probably
prove to be one of the most deadly
weapons Of modern warfare.

The New Automatic REVOLVER.


From the British Medical Journal:
Professor Won Bruins of Tublngen, a
well-known authority on questions of
military surgery, has published some
interesting experiments with the new
automatic revolver, which it appears is
being adopted by nearly all the Euro
pean governments. The experiments
were made on pine wood, on plates of
iron, on living horse and on portions
OF human corpses, at distances varying
from ten to 300 meters. The results
were as follows: There was little diff
ference between the effects on living
and on dead material. The hole made
is from five to seven millimeters in size
and decreases with the increase of dis
lance; the aperture of exit is usually
slightly larger than that of the en-
trance. The effect of the projectile on
the long hollow bones was exactly sim
liar to that of the German infantry rife
at 1000 to 1000 meters. The bone was
spllntered in every case; in no case did
the projectile remain in the bone. The
track of the bullet invariably formed a
smooth channel without shattering be-
fore the bone and without bony debris.
In the case of bullets striking the skull
there was explosive action-that is,
communion of the vault-at dis
lance Of ten meters, corresponding to
the effect of the infantry rifle at 1000
meters, which decreased gradually up
to fifty meters distance. AS regards
the penetrative power at ten to twenty
meters, the projectile passed through
two trunks and only stuck in the third;
1t pierced pieces of pine wood thirty
two centimeters thick and three iron
plates each two milimeters thick. In
all respects the new pistol proved itself
superior TO the ordinary army revolver.

Antarctic Exploration.

The Royal Society of Great Britain
is exhibiting much enthusiasm in try
ing to set on foot an expedition to the
Antarctic ocean. Great differences ex-
list between the Arctic and Antarctic re-
gions, and while there is polar sea
at the north, it is believed that a con-
tinent exists at the south pole. 1t is
also thought that the large icebergs
seen in extreme southern waters are
formed on the land and pushed into the
sea. The Royal Society desires a naval
expedition to explore the Antarctic
seas and lands, and it is the general
opinion that the difficulties attending
such an expedition are fewer in num-
Der than are involved in Arctic explor-
atoms.
