NO FLAME, NO NOISE.
A WONDERFUL CANNON MADE
IN FRANCE.
Colonel IIumbert OF the French Army
Has Invented an Appliance That
Abollshss Both Noise aud Flame
Causes and Effects

Col. Humbert Of the French army
has Invented an appliance that abol-
ishes the noise and flame that have
hitherto accompanied the discharge
OF cannon and other firearms.
This appliance has been Officially
tested on cannon and rifles and has
worked satisfactorily. II must there
fore be accepted as an established fact
that gun can now be fred without
noise, flame or smoke.
II Is not long since smokeless pow
defs were introduced into various
armies They necessitated important
changes In military tactics. The aboll-
ton OF noise and flame will have even
greater results.
That a great charge OF gun powder
should be fred without noise will seem
to most people incredible. Neyerthe-
less the appliance by which this won
der Is accomplished IS very simple.
When be SET ont 10 solve the prob
lem, the inyon'or first considered the
exact causes OF noise and flame In the
discharge Of a gun. The noise Is due
TO the sudden expulsion OF the gases
OF the exploded gunpowdcr following
the bullet and the return OF the air to
the barrel The fame Is due 10 the
ignition OF the gases by heat n the
barrel could be closed at the momezt
the proieciile lef' a.. there would be
neither noise nor flame. II Is Just
such a closing which Col. Humbert
has conirlvod.
The accompanying figures explain his
invention clearly. Figure !. shows a
section Of a short tube (Bl. which Is
screwed over the mouth Of a cannon
ca, which has been previously grooved
FOR this purpose The little tube has
the same diameter az the cannon. In
