The value of a CHEEKY dispositio n
cannot be overestimated Or dwelt up
on too often. There is a certain in
active disposition that passes for
amiability, the Individual not having
energy enough to become indignat or
to be fretful. There is also positive
cheerfulness that is determined to
look upon the bright side of life
through whatever encouragement
present themselves. 1t is fortunate
for the house mother and for her
husband and for her children when
she is possessed of an actively cheer
ful disposition. 1t is sign of kind
heart and a firm determination to
make others happy as we'll as to be
happy herself. The cheerful woman
will find dozen causes for congratu-
lation in events which to others have
sinister look. A week of rain keeps
her at home from a long anticipated
visit, but she will tell you, and she
undoubtedly m axes herself believe it,
that it is ''fortunate," for the season
of quiet has given her a chance to
finish quantity of sewing or to do
some special work she was anxious
to have done.-Erchdnge.

4 DESTRUCTIVE NEW GUN

Five Shots a Minute.
The Invention of an American Naval
Officer Put TO a severe Test at the
ceeds in Execution the Work Of

The United States Navy has secured a re-
markabIe new arm Of extreme rapidity Of
fire. which in actual performance surpass-
Is any weapon ever tested under service
conditions for endurance. speed, accuracy
and trustworthness, in this country or
abroad Il represents the latest develop
ment in semi automatic mechanisms for
secondary batteries afoat or for light bat
teries ashore. and is the production Of an
American naval officer, Commander William
H. briggs, whose earlier gunnery inyen-
tions have been in use in the armies and
navies Of many governments for several
years.
The new gun has just completely met
every requirement Of the most exhaustive
trials at the Indian Head proving ground
making a sustained record for rapidity that
exceeds by nearly 100 per cent the best
ever reached by gun Of its calibre in any
test and under any conditions, however
favorable
Light guns Of this class are divided into
wo main cIasses-those worked entirely by
hand and known as handwriting guns.
and those partly operated automatically
called semi-automatic guns. The new
briggs gun belongs to this second class,
though II can st will be used as a hand
working gun. fired as deliberately as de-
sired. Herein lies one of the main advan
tages Of the piece. II is evident that 1t
would be an unwarranted waste Of ammu-
milton TO make use OF the extreme rate OF
the gun at all times as, used in this way,
The aim must of necessity be relatively
rough and many shots lost.
on the other hand there are times when
the range is short and the target large. as.
for instance the sudden discovery Of a
torpedo boat close TO the ship when the
safety of the ship would depend ON cover
ing the attacking boat with such shower
of shells as TO sink or disable her before
she could reach her object Of attack. Vol
ume as well as accuracy Of fire, therefore,
plays an important part In modern war
fare and this new gun is designed to cover
both of these important factOrs-that is IL
NAV be fred as deliberately as desired or
al the extreme rate OF seventy-hve rounds
a minute The best previous record was
forty-two rounds for the same period,
which was made by semi automatic gun

can be derived from ,he results obtained

rated by firing for five seconds each gun
having three trials for rate. The record

Of six feet radius. Both Of these records

Perhaps the ordinary marksmen Of the
Army or Navy cannot always accomplish
the same results, but they may be relied
upon to come pretty close TO il. A torpedo

Of her object in order to secure anything
like a reasonable chance OF success II.
then. ten shots can be put into circle Of
six feet radius in one minute and thirty
six and one half seconds at a mile, the ef-
feet at 900 yards may easily be imagined.
especially where the gun can be fired az
the rate Of seventy-fve rounds a minute.
AS the name implies. the shell or pro-
jectile Of this gun weighs six pounds. II
is loaded with powder and has a percus-
sion fuse which eXplOdes the shell upon
impact. This and the firing charge are TO-
gether in one cartridge. like the ordinary
pistol or shoulder rife cartridge on a large
scale. These are inserted in the chamber
by hand. As soon as the cartridge is placed
the gun closes, fires, recoiIs, and the
breech opens, ejecting the empty case and
leaving the gun ready to receive another
load.
II it is not desired to use the fun auto
matte feature the gun pointer releases his
hold on the trigger until such time as he
wishes to FIRE then by pulling the trig-
ger as ne finds his piece bearing on the
target, the gun fires, again recOils. and. on

gun ready for new load. The automatic
feature may be entirely put out Of opera
ton by simply throwing up small handle.
when the gun can be worked as an ordi-
nary hand working gun. and as deliberate
~ as wanted.
In accomplishing these results nothing
has been sacrificed as TO simplicity. in
fact the gun has fewer parts than the
hand-working guns, no screws to come out
at the critical moment, and the whole
mechanism can be assembled or taken
down without the use of any special tools.
The trials Of the new gun have extend
ed over the last three months. and were
so gratifying to the naval ordnance eX-
perts that an order has been promptly
placed for fifty-One OF them for mounting
on the six new gunboats Of the Denver
class now building This order will be fol-
lowed by the manufacture OF double that
number for the little gunboats in the Phil
ippines as soon as the next naval appro-
priation becomes available.

incredible. but according to the official
record in the report Of the Army Chief OF
