POWERFUL NEW RIFLE.
It Carries o Ball Ten Miles and nGax
Have Important Bearing On
Modern Warfare.

A great advance has been made IN
small arms by George e. Rounds, Of
Plymouth, Mass, which may have an
important bearing on the ornaments Of
the world and the battles Of the future.
for through his suggestion the range Of
the modern rife has been greatly in
creased and its penetration more than
doubled.
The result Is a finished rifle Of the
Winchester model OF 1895, short, like
the Old civil war carbine, but unlike this,
1t has a taperfng barrel which ap.
proaches one-half inch in thickness al
the rear end and is formed of fine piece
OF nickel steel, which gives a maximum
OF strength. The gun is Of .4O5 bore and
the cartridge looks like any other ex.
cept the she'll is not checked on the
end where the bullet fits in. Inside the
bright brass she'll is a charge OF So grains
OF cordite, smokeless powder which
has long been in favor by the users OF
the British naval guns, and as used in
them resembling the long black, flexible
strings Of licorice found in the confec-
t1onery stores, the strips being bundled

has the explosive power OF nearly Q
pound of common black rife powder.
and it will drive the 3OO-grain, soft-nose.
ttn-coated bullet out with a muzzlo
velocity Of 1904 feet per second, while
at 100 yards range the striking energy
is represented by 1925 foot pounds
From tests made it Is calculated the
gun fired at an elevation of As degrees
will throw its projectile a distance Of
ten miles. while at shorter ranges its
enormous muzzle velocity gives it fat
trajectory amounting at ordinary
ranges to almost point blank shooting.
In the matter Of penetration the cordite
cartridge leaves the others completely
out OF sight. A high-power 1920 sport
ing cartridge at 100 yards will penetrate
80 inches Of pine, and United States
government high velocity cartridge will
drive its projectile ten inches deeper.
but this new one at the same range will
bore through 100 inches of pine wood.

ACCIDENT RESTORES REASON.
Fal Of Wood Releases blood Clot ON
Brain and Demented Man Again
Becomes Rational

Charles e. Libby, of Scarboro, Me-,
who, some months ago. lost his reason,
and for two weeks wandered aimlessly
about in demented condition, has been
restored to his senses in q peculiar man
ner.
A pile of cord wood fell upon him, In
hicting a severe wound on his head and
causing the severe blood clot which had
formed on his brain to pass away.
Last August Libby was found wander
Ing in the woods. He had been injured
about the head, and because of that fact
and disconnected words spoken by him.
it was believed he had been the victim of
an assault
The other night huge pile Of wood
fell on Libby's head while he was at work
chopping. He bled freely, but at once
seemed to emerge from the state OF
semi-consciOusness in which he re-
NAMED after returning home. He began
to talk, not of the wood falling on him,
but of attempting to jump ashore with
the help Of one oar.
Later, he told of the accident which
occurred when he left Indian island.
Lake Sebago, August Is. His boat struck
some obstruction and he did not make
the landing. He tried to jump ashore
with the aid of a slender oar. It gave
way and he remembered nothing after
he fell head first into pile of rocks.
1t is supposed the blow caused blood
clot to form, and the second blow re-
leased it and his memory returned. It Is
thought he will soon be able to resume
business.
While he now fully recalls everything
connected with his accident at Lake
Sebago, he does not remember anything
between that time and the falling OF
the wood pile. Everything after Au-
gust Is is blank, and he is wondering
how the weather became so suddenly
cold, and how it Is that he now has a
mustache, grown, as he thinks, in two
days.

it can be cleaned by this method: Take

The Davis Case Again.

1t is a pretty kettle of fish when a
man has to go to his open enemies
with a petition for justice. This has
been the case with George A. Davis
and Judge A. s. Humphreys. Both
have been disbarred from the practice
Of law by two justices of the Supreme
Court who have been for years and
still are the enemies of both. One of
them is directly interested in the case
that formed a basis for the disbarment,
and it was to the interest of himself
that the disbarment should come
about. Our opinion is that Chief JUS
tice Frear and Justice Perry should
be dismissed by the President from Of
flee on this account, they insisting up
on hearing the disbarment case, al
though VIGOROUSLY disqualified in it.

PORTO RICO AND HAWAII.

The Legislature of Porto Rico has
passed resolution demanding either
Statehood or independence Under
American control conditions in the
island lave greatly changed. Some of
the changes have been for the best,
such, for instance, as the assurances
of stable government and maintenance
of law and order. But others have
been for the worst. While ostensibly
part of the United States, Porto Rico
has been Kept at arms length by the
central government 1t has been made
to occupy the position of colony, but
without the benefits accorded by other
nations to colonies. And in other re.
-spects the island has been made to suf-
fer in much the same way as has Ha.

The statement from Port Arthur
that the Cossacks had crossed the
Yalu river and attacked the Japanese
advance guard in Korea is hardly to
be credited. The only Cossacks
known to be within 200 miles of the
Yalu are $4,000 men specially detailed
to protect the railroad Moreover,
there are several good reasons why
Russia would refrain from invading
Korea at this time, and, at last ac.
counts, she was just where she must
remain until a favorable battle is
fought-on the defensive. If Russian

1t would be an easy matter to secure

would be that we would have the cleo
