ing to and from their shooting festivals.
The whole system of Swiss shooting is
good example Of cooperation be-
tween government and individual. Every
Switzer has his army rifle; he can use
it when and where he will, provided
he does not endanger other lives; he
is insured by government against all
accidents on the ranges, and through
his society he can secure the services
Of qualified military officers to organ
lie and control his shooting:
By treating rife-shooting as sport,
and it is as popular as football is with
us, and far more generally pracised, the
Swiss have removed it from it's usual
warlike associations. but should occa-
sion arise, that which has been learned
in sport would be used in earnest.

SWISS RIFLE CLUBS.
.yG>GS&>GSe>GSrS>&SG>G>

At a time when the question of mill
tary training for civilians is being
much discussed, O short account OF the
Swiss system, from the Manchester
Guardian, may be of interest. Every
man in the peaceful and democratic
country Of Switzerland is a soldier In
modest way, beftting small nation.
The able-bodied Swiss enters the
army at twenty years of age, and serves
sixty-five days in his first year. For
the next twelve years he trains for
three weeks every alternate year. At
thirty-four he enters the Landwehr,
and has eight to ten days under arms
every fourth year until, at fifty, he re-
tires, and is required to furnish no
further service except in case of war.
What the Swiss militiaman lacks in
military ORTHODOXY he far more than
makes up by skill with the rifle. 1t is
not too much TO call the Swiss a ma
ton of marksmen. The training per-
iods are occupied only with drill and
tactics; the all-important matter of
der to carry out at other times, and
he does it under the auspices Of the
shooting societies which are such a fea-
ture of Swiss life.
These societies, under government
control, are called neutrality-suspicious.

In the French cantons. They are volun-
tary associations, varying in size and
Importance with the town or village
they serve. Those in the larger towns
possess completely fitted ranges and
club houses the small villages do their
shooting in any field backed by a suit
able hill. Every peasant and towns
man has easy facilities for shooting,
and each man has his service rifle al
ways In his possession.
Every man between the ages Of
twenty and thirty-two must fire thirty
two shots in four compulsory exercises
every year, and the societies receive Il
grant Of two francs for every soldier
shooting this course on their ranges.
The income derived from the grants
generally suffices for the current eX-
penses Of the society, supply Of targets
and pay of marker. There is no en-
trance fee nor subscription as a rule.
ard heavy expenditure, such as that
incurred by the construction of new
ranges, is met by a special grant from
the government.
Rules as to spectators, methods of
loading and conduct on the ranges are
stringent Loss of grant is incurred
by any breach or neglect of regula-
tons.
In addition to these exercises, many
competitions are held between different

One can hardly form, in a moment,
any adequate conception Of the tremen-
dous possibilities involved in the an
nouncement made recently that Hiram
Percy Maxim has secured patent for
a silent gun" Mr. Maxim is the son
of Sir Hiram Maxim, who was knighted
by Queen Victoria for his service In the
invention Of the machine gun. For
number Of years the son has been inter
ested in the development of automobile
engines, and 1t was the muller of the
gasoline engine which suggested the ST.
lent gun. The report Of a 1rearm Is
produced by the gases Of combustion
striking the air. The successive reports
OF a gasoline engine are produced In
the same way; but If the gases are
allowed to escape slowly through
number OF small holes, the sound Is
reduced to q slight kissing. In Mr..
Maxim's invention a valve is introduced
near the muzzle of the rife. The pres
sure Of the gases causes 1t to close the
instant the projectile has passed, and
the gases are dissipated slowly through
a number of small apertures. A safety
device prevents the firing of the gun
second time until the valve has return
ed to It's place. The substitution of
the thirty-caliber bullet, with a steel
jacket, for the old forty-fve-caliber bull
let OF lead resulted in doubling the
range at which small arms are effect
i've. The invention Of smokeless pow
der marked another great advance; but
If the silent gun" proves as practical
as the preceding inventions, 1t will far
surpass them in Importance. Armed
with this weapon and smokeless pow
der. carefully screened body of men
could annihilate its opponents before
its whereabouts could be discovered.
SILENT coast defense guns or disap-
pearing carriages could sink hostile
feet IN absolute safety. More dreadful
still are the possibilities Of the new
weapon In the hands of the assassin
and the burglar, who thus finds himself
equipped to make one Of Sir Conan
Doyle's most thrilling stories reality.
That the inventor himself is conscious
Of the evil possibilities is evident from
the fact that he remarked, Il don't
know but that / ought to be ashamed
Of myself"
