A Noiseless Gun.

The inventor has lately been turn
ing his attention to eliminating and
rendering unnecessary the very arti-
cles which were before considered alb
solutely essential in order to perform
certain kinds of work. Thus we have
the wireless telegraph, the horseless
carriage, smokeless powder, etc., and
now comes the noiseless gun, invented
by Joseph E. Bissell of Pittsburg, Pa
The illustration shows a general
view of the gun and also section pre-
senting the details of construction in
a manner to be better understood. In
general terms the invention consists
of the interposition of movable body
or piston between the explosive or

New Use for the Wireless.

On the summit of Mount Zugspitze,
in the Bavarian Alps, more than 5000
feet above sea level, there is an i'm
portant meteorological observatory,
which is occupied all the year, but in
winter is cut off from communication
with the lower earth because storms
destroy the telegraph and telephone
wires. A wireless installation has
been made there now, connected with
a postofice in the valley, three miles
away, and the observer is thus made
Independent of the storms as the wind
has no effect on the ether waves that
carry his messages. 8. ! -.

Asparayu Planting.

The old methods of planting aspara-
gus would hardly apply at this day
when that delicacy is raised in i'm
mense quantities in large fields. just
imagine trenching field of several
acres extent: It used to be thought
that the only way to raise this plant
was to dig trenches three and four feet
deep and fill them with alternate lay
ers of manure and turf mixed Win
soil. These trenches were sometimes
not only three feet deep, but each one
was three feet wide. Practically all
the manure buried at such a depth
was wasted. The asparagus is plant
that feeds near the surface. 1t re-
qulres a good deal Of water, but it does
not draw its food from the water. 1t
will not feed below the water table
in the soil. Today fields are we'll pre-
pared and enriched, and the planting
OF the asparagus roots proceeds about
as rapidly as does the planting of po-
tatoes. The roots are placed at a
depth of foot or less, sometimes not
more than fourth of that. It is bet
ter to place the plants at depth OF
SIX inches or more. This is especially
the case when the plantation covers
large field, as it is necessary to Guilt
vate over the plants to keep down the
weeds. Shallow planting may give an
early yield for the first year or two,
but the plants will not be so satisfac-
tory in years to come. Another old
fallacy was that of close planting.
Fifty years ago the plantations of as
paragus were mostly on small areas.
1t was no unusual thing to find the
plants set in rows a foot apart and
six inches apart in the row. This in
few years gave perfect network of
roots in the soil, and the asparagus
stalks were hardly larger than lead
pencils. Now the plants when set on
large areas are generally at least three
feet apart, and sometimes the rows
are four feet apart, with plants three
feet apart in the rows.

Spraying Fruit Troes.

Apples at $3.50 to S. barrel last
fall and twice that this spring are apt
to make folks interested in fruit trees.
The first requisite is good spray
pump with the necessary rigging. The
outfit can be bought of the manufac-
turer or Of the implement dealers, and
will cost anywhere from $40 to 5000. A
first-class outfit costs SIS to $25. Just
at this time Of the year the spraying
needed by the fruit trees is chiefly for
the prevention of fungous diseases.
For this purpose plain solution OF
copper sulphate, one pound in 10 to ~
gallons of water may be used. Bor-
deaux mixture is equally as good, but
1t is more bother to make. The first
spraying should be given at once, be-
fore the blossoms open. A little later,
just after the blooms fall, another
spraying should be given. This should
be Bordeaux mixture in every case.
Bordeaux mixture may be made OF
varying proportions and strengths.
and one-half pounds copper sulphate,
ore pound stone lime, ten gallons
water (six pounds sulphate, four
pounds lime, one barrel water). Dis
solve the sulplate and slack the lime
in separate vessels, dilute each with
about half Of the total water to be
used and then pour the sulphate solu-
ton into the lime water while stirring
vigorously. Continue the stirring for
a minute to insure perfect mixture 1t
deteriorates on standing and should
be used soon after made. Keep the
mixture clean to avoid clogging OF
pump and nozzles. Strain the solutions
AID have strainer on suction tube OF
pump. A quick, convenient way to
dissolve copper sulphate is to suspend
it in a cheesecloth or similar bag just
below the surface of the water. A
third spraying two weeks later, with
Bordeaux mixture, will be paying in
vestment. Even fourth and fifth
spraying at intervals of two weeks,
will sometimes pay handsome dlvi-
dends. In all sprayings, except the
first, some paris green should be used.
Add one pound Of paris green to 200
gallons Of water, or four ounces to the
barrel. If there is danger of bud moth
the paris green might better be used
in the first spraying also.

tard the escape of gases of explosion,
thereby avoiding the violent and sud-
den displacement of air at the muzzle
of the gun. The explosive is con-
tanned in the rear of shell, with the
piston in contact with the front face.
The projectile is inserted in the end
of the cartridge, and is forced outward
by the movement of the liquid con-
tanned in the shell in advance of the
piston. The liquid mentioned by the
inventor is water and the cartridge is
made of the proper size to contain a
sufficient quantity of the water to fill
the barrel when the piston is driven
forward, thus exerting steady force
behind the bullet until it energies

in safety it is necessary to increase
the strength of the breach to over
come the enormous force of the ex-
pansion.

Union Pacific Pays Its Taxes.

pany offered to pay on the same rate
Of increase as other property had paid.
This seemed to be the best settlement
that could be reached by the board of
commissioners. The law under which
the railroads had been assessed had
been knocked out by the atate and
United States courts, and there was
nothing for the commissioners to stand
on. The company had settled with
Logan county on basis Of 80 per cent,
and in other counties at 20 and 40 per
cent, so when our commissioners Sc
