NO FLASH, SOUND OR SMOKE,
French Onicer Inyents n Novel At
tnchment for Mig Gums and Prom
Ises Remarkable Work.

A French officer, Col. Humbort, re-
Gently brought out an ingenious in
vcntion, which, it is claimed, will en-
tircly abolish sound, flash and smoke
when n gun is fired, but in its pres
cnt stage the invention apparently
would make a field gun rather IN
wieldy machine.
The invention consists of n long
tube screwed to the muzzle of n
gun. The inside of the tube is fitted
with a series Of short steel cylinders.
One end Of these cylinders is quite
open and the other close, but with a
hole in the centor slightly larger
than the bore OF the gun. The cylin.
dcrs are placed in the tube till it Is
quite full. Then n screw plug is in
serted and the whole is pressed into
close contact.
The tube is thus divided into n Sc
rics of small compartments in com
munication with the bore Of the gun
and each other by small holes at
their base. The result is that the
volume Of sound and the fash of
the discharge is broken up as soon
as the shot clears the muzzle. The
gas first PUSHES to the first com
partmcnt where it is retained until
the base of the proSctile is clear
~ the entrance to the second cylin-
der. The process is repeated from
one compartment after another with
the result that the gas has gradu-
ally more and more room for expan-
sion and when the projectile finally
leaves the tube the greater portion
has been collected in a reduced state
Of compression in the tube from
which IT finally escapes without fash
or sound.

OYSTERS AND DISEASE.
The Green Color of Some May lie At
tributed to Various Causes
Mott Harmful.

In recent scientific work by Profs.
IIcrdman and Boyce, entitled oysters
and Disease" they report the result of
their Investigations on the cause which
produces green oysters. Many cpl
cures prefer their oysters to have the
emerald hue, though there is a wide
spread opinion that green oysters are
not edible, says the Chicago Tribune.
The investigators arrive at the con-
clusion that there are several forms
of grccnness. Copper is said to be
present in minute quantity in all oys-
tcls. 1t was found that the greenest
American oysters contained about
four times the amount of copper which
is present in the whitest american
oysters. Careful chemical examina-
ton demonstrated conclusively that
thcrc is proportionately more copper
in the grcener parts of the oysters than
in those parts which are less green
The green color of the highly priced
Marennes oysters was found to be
produced by the presence of a certain
pigment and did not depend upon the
amount of the contained copper.

TO CURB MENDICANTS.
Novel Method Similar to the ROgues'
Gallery to De Adopted in
New York Clty.

In his annual report of the work
of the central council of the Charity
Organization society, Of New York,
President Robert de Forest describes
a novel method which has just been
adopted for the purpose of detecting
and furnishing professional .beggars
and syndicates of mendicancy. 1t Is
proposed to establish record bu-
reau similar to the rogues' gallery of
the police department, where detailed
records of beggars are accessible, the
object being to deter habitual mendi-
cants from plying their trade In New
York and other large cities.
After admitting that for 20 years
she had been sending begging letters
to prominent people, including re-
cent ones to high government Off
Gals, Mrs. Annie Mayors has been
sentenced to the workhouse for six
months. Agents of the Charity Or
ganization claimed to have about
1000 letters signed by the woman.

NO MORE DRUNKENNESS.
French Scientist Claims to lie Able
to Render Alcoholic Drinks
Harmless

The French scientist, DR.. Pitoy, 1T
an article Just published, holds GU;
hopes that the difficulty of providing
a satisfactory temperance drink has
at last been solved, and this not by a
new beverage, but by series OF new
drinks, every wine, beer and spirit
now used being provided with a non
alcoholic understudy.
1t has hitherto been accepted as
commonplace that there is no fer
mentation without alcohol. From
time immemorial beers, wines, etc,
have undergone this process through
the action of some sort of yeast, the
effect of which has been to decom-
pose sugar or glucose into carbonlc
acid and alcohol.
DR.. Pitoy set himself about to de-
stroy this theory, and he now claims
that he has discovered that the mys-
FERROUS lamentations are the work
of certain heterogeneous which he
has succeeded in isolating and pro-
yiding with a separate existence.
This new birth, on being introduced
in the liquid to be fermented, fatteps
and sweIs to the bursting point,
The result is sort of fireworks dis
play induced by the absorption of
carbonic acid, each point of which,
as it is thrown of, becomes in its
turn an active cell.
BY this means the balls are kept
rolling, so to speak, till the process
Of exhaustion supervenes and fer
mcntation is complete. 1t is claimed
this method, instead of decomposing
glucose in the proportions Of one
part of carbonic acid to two of alco-
hol, as by the old proceeding, causes
the latter two parts to assume the
form of nonalcoholic substance. 1T
is therefore inferred that beers,
wines, etc, submitted to the new fer
mentation will emerge as temperance
beverages.

A DISAPPOINTED DOG.
He Was n Hunter and the CASH Bali
I'm the Dry Goods Store
Fooled Him.

A young lady went into large dry
goods store on a shopping expedition
having for a companion big, hand
some dog. He was a pointer, and the
manner in which he trotted sedately
along and kept out of everybody's way
showed that he was as intelligent as
handsome. The young lady having
made her purchase, the shop-girl put
the check and the money in wooden
ball and sent it along the cash rail
way" relates Golden Days.
At the first "whi," the dog pricked
up his ears, and the next instant he
started after the ball as if he were
morally sure it was some new kind of
bird. Past the crowds of Christmas
buyers, in and out and between hun
dreds of people, the pointer dashed
until the ball disappeared from view.
Then he looked puzzled and then
Inundated, and was coming back to
his indignant mistress when the ball
came whizzing on it's return trip.
This time the dog expressed his feel
ings by short yelps as he flew after his
game, and this time he took the short
route along the counter and fetched
up in front of the shop girl, leaving
behind him a trail of dsmayed shop
pers. Then the ball was given him to
investigate, and a more disappointed
dog was never seen.

TELLS JEWS TO RESENT 1T.
Rabbi Emil q. Hirsch Declares That
Society Patronage og the Ghetto
IL Offensive.

II the Jews OF the Ghetto, In New
York, take the advice of Rabbi Emil
G. iIirsch, professor of rabbicinal lit
eraturc at Chicago university, who
spoke on "rhe New York East Side
Problem" at the Educational alliance
the other night, they will tell so
ciety folks who go Summing to
mind their own business" DR.. lIirsch
said that Jews liked the congested
and crushed life Of mis- city, but he
advised them not TO fall into the con
ccit that everything outside New
York Is n wilderness.
"Thcrc won't be dirt enough to 20
around il more Of you come TO New
York" he said, "but in the west there
Is room for you, where land Is cheap
and there Is plenty of fresh air.
There 1t Is not necessary In the heat
Of the summer TO go out on fire cs-
capcs, or roofs, or sidewalks to sleep.
And In the west man respects his
fellow man. II the fellow man re.
specrs himself There the jew Is re-
gpcctcd."
Then came this advice: "Tcll all
the West sidcrs who come down here
from idle curiosity and pat your chill
dren on the cheeks and then return

ROYAL MARRIAGE HELD WRONG
Present System Held Responsible for
the Lack of Male Heirs of
European Monarchs.

The recent birth of a second daugh-
ter to King Victor Emmanuel OF
Italy has suggested the idea to one
writer that the custom of European
royal families of intermarrying is
perhaps responsible for the unfor-
tunate lot of many reigning houses
in this respect.
Whatever the reason is the follow
ing are undeniable facts: The en-
perors and kings of Europe number
II. OF these Is reign under So
called Salic law. OF these 13 no less
than fvet-namely, the emperors OF
Russia and Austria, and the kings of
Belgium, Italy and Wurtemburg, have
to-day to look for heirs outside of
the direct line of succession, because
they have only daughters. Besides
these, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
is as yet childless, and the grand
duke of Hesse is without son.
The grand duke of Luxembourg is q
middle-aged only son who has
daughters, but no male heir. After
his death there are absolutely no col
lateral heirs in the male line. En-
peror William, with six sons, is the
best monarch in regard to this point
of view.
The Spanish throne rests on the
head of delicate posthumous youth,
and the only son of his father. King
Edward VII. has only two soIfs, one
of whom is dead. In Servia and 9TH
err minor Kingdoms this point is fur
Their illustrated.

PICKPOCKETS LIKE FAT MEN.
Light-FiBGered Expert Tells why
His Kind Prefer Them tn Thin
Subjects to Work On.

Fat men of easy temperament gre
the favorite prey Of the professional
pickpockets, according to no less an au-
thority than "Molly Matches" who
his day served time in many prisons
in the process Of learning to let thin,
nervous individuals alone when plying
his lawIess trade, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Like all "good dips" this particular
pickpocket was a respectable looking
fellow, who would pass unnoticed in
crowd. He had lots of experience and
knew his business thoroughly. His
reasons, as given by himself, were
these:
Experience has taught me that
nervousness and effectiveness are usual
characteristics of thin people when in
a crowd. Therefore, they are more
apt to turn suddenly around, and take
quicker notice of any push or jostling
they may receive. ] have invariably
found that such people are constantly
on the alert, so that they are not so
easily got at as more corpulent and
consequently easier going people. 1t
is "a deuced sight more difficult to take
anything from them without detection
than it is from the individuals of more
extended corporosity, who fall into
passive attitudes and reveries that
render them quite unconscious of the
sly, stealthy hand of the pickpocket."
This theory is known to all expert
police and they govern themselves in
accordance with the rule to always
watch the fat ones when Looking for a
