RIFLE AND SMOOTH BORE.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
What is the difference between a rife
and smooth-bore gun? A. X.
1.-THE main difference between a rife
and a smooth-bore gun is that the inner
surface of the rifle barrel has one or
more spiral grooves cut into 1t. The
object of this Is to permit a por-
ton Of the material of the bull
let or projectile to sink into the
AS the projectile Is
forced out of the barrel these pro-
jections into the grooves tend to re-
main there. thus giving rise to a spin
ning motion. In fact, 1t Is not only
going forward, but is rotating rapidly
as 1t goes. The axis will tend-in ac-
cordance with the gyroscopic principle
to maintain, without change. it's d.
rection. But that is really saying that
the projectile will tend to remain in
its true course. So this Is why a rifed
gun shoots straighter than a smooth
bore.-Ed.J

FIRST FLYING MACHINE.
the Editor of the evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Who invented the first flying ma
chine? B. N. s.
fArchytas, the geometer of Tarentum,
B. G. 300, is supposed to have been the
first to think of a flying machine"
According to Aulus Gellius, Archytas
made "a dove in wood, so contrived as
by a certain mechanical art and power
to fly" Albert Magnus, of the thir-
teenth century, is said to have made
some sort of flying machine. In the
sixteenth century an Italian alchemist
visited Scotland and built a machine
with wings. with which he undertook
to fly from Stirling Castle to France.
The Montgolfair brothers, Stephen and
Joseph, sent up the first balloon, June,
1888. The first human being to ascend
in a balloon was Francois Pilatre de
Rozier, October, 17S3.-Ed.]

PRESIDENT URGES EXPERTS ON
Tells Members of Tuberculosis Con-
Rress Their Work is of vital
Import.

WASHINGTON Oct. 81 feel that no
gathering could take place fraught with
greater hope for the welfare Of the people
at large than this assemblage."
This was President Roosevelts parting
greeting to the delegates to the sixth Trien-
nial International Congress on Tuberculosis,
which finally adjourned today to meet in
Rome, Italy in 1911. The president had not
been expected to attend the congress and
his appearance was greeted with tremend-
Gus applause. The president thanked the
delegates on behalf of the nation for what
they had done and were doing, to stamp
out the great white plague.
"You have come here" said the presi-
most terrible scourge of all throughout the
world. The chance to control that disease
lies in the work of just such men as those
who are assembled here"
The president declared that medical
scientists have shown Just as much heroism
In the fight against tuberculosis as ever
was shown by soldier on the fie'1 OF
battle. He declared that in no other mani
festation of human activity have the re-
suits been quite so far-reaching as i'm the
ability to grapple with disease.
Just before the congress closed. a resolu-
ton was adopted which places the congress
on record in favor of recognizing the pos
sibility Of infection of human beings by
bovine tuberculosis.
The formal announcement was made to-
day that the next tuberculosis congress
will be held in Rome in 1911.
