That the device for rendering the dis
charge of firearms practically silent, the
invention of which by Hiram Percy Max
i'm was recently announced, will do what
he claimed for it was demonstrated be-
fore a committee of United States army
officers at Springfield, Mass, recently.
Both in the armory and in the open field
the tests were satisfactory. First, one
of the soldiers fired a regular army rife,
and the report was heard above the din
of the machinery in the factory. Then
Maxim adjusted the device to that same
gun and the firing was not audible 15O
feet away, and was only like the snap
ping of the fingers from points nearer
the position of the shooter. What the
officers heard at $50 feet was not the ex-
plosion, but the striking of the hammer
Neither smoke nor fire was visible at the
muzzie Of the gun DIS shot after shot was
fired straight at a target From calcula-
tons. it was estimated that the gun is
IA per cent noiseless. Forty grains OF
smokeless powder were used in the cart
ridges, a charge capable of hurting a bull
let over 1900 yards with fatal results.

But what good will that do: o is

In the leading article for the current
Atlantic Monthly, John Martin reviews
the abandonment Of the laissez-faire pol
icy in America in recent years and the
new feeling of public responsibility. The
idea which prevailed not long ago was
that everything American was about per-
feet. Now every one is finding some fault,
and the necessity for social reconstruction
is apparent. Various associations like the
Civic Federation, associations for health,
against child labor, immigration, etc, and
executive interference in industrial wars
are mentioned to show the trend. While
not accepting any particular brand of so
cialism, Mr.. Martin thinks that the agita-
ton of these social questions is healthy,
1t means that order and peace must take
the place Of the fierce commercial warfare

Henrik Farrian, the French aviator,
who has just arrived at New York with
his prize-winning flying machine for the
purpose of giving an exhibition flight, in
1 published interview says that it will
take another decade to perfect the flying
machine for practical and safe use. Half
the solution of the problem rested on the
perfection of a motor which would give
greater power without increasing the
weight. The other half lies in developing
a machine with an automatic balancing
device. In his opinion a machine of the
monoplane type will be the successful
, oyer Of the future. He does not believe
that any flying machine will ever rival

accomplished anything worthy of note
the record has failed to show it. A
that time the Democrats all over thu

Ks the Same Bryan Today.
Such was Mr.. Bryan sixteen years
ago and such he is today. He has OPP

AS wars between nations come sud
denly, Just as do personal conflicts be-
tween men, u navy must be maintain
ed upon thai basis of possible contin-
gency. Our national history shows thai
wars have sprung suddenly into exist
ence while wise men were proclaiming
that war could not occur. There are
many instances where the most unex-
pccted occurrences have brought us to
the very verge Of battle.
We are not a military nation, yet we
are a rich nation. and undefended
wealth invites aggression. The very
liberty of individual speech and action
which we as a people so prize and
guard, renders it possible that at times
unexpected causes of friction with for
eign powers may suddenly develop.
Even at present this country is nego-
tiating arbitration treaties with a num-
Der of the great powers. These treaties
have a special usefulness because in the
event Of some sudden disagreement they
render it morally incumbent upon both
nations to seek first to reach an agree
ment to arbitrate and at least secure
a breathing space during which the
cool Judgment of the two nations
involved may get the upper hand over
any momentary burst of anger. Such
treaties are entered into with the hope
OF preventing wrong doing by others
against us and also as a proof that
we have no intention Of doing wrong
ourselves.

Yet it is idle to assume that this
world has yet reached the stage, or has
