Military experts, apprised of the

power to force revolution of modern
methods of warfare. BY use of this

would render it possible for man
properly concealed, to kill at his leis-
ure probably every deer in surprised
herd. as no alarm would be sounded.
From his cover on shore q man
armed with this nofseless gun might
pick Off every bird in q flock without
alarming the lessening number to

+ Because of its dreadful possibilities
in the world Of crime many police off,
Gals have already insisted that the
manufacture and disposal of the new
device should be safeguarded by law.
Armed with such a weapon a police
man might be enabled to disable every
member of band of lawbreakers
On the other hand, it would be
equally dangerous in the possession of
a desperate criminal. The assassin, by
it's use, would be enabled to pick OF
his victim and find opportunity Of
escaping.

NoIsELEss GUN.
A Son of Sir Hiram Maxim Is the
Inventor of 1t.

New York, Feb. 26.-Hiram Percy
Maxim, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, in
ventor of the machine gun which
bears his name, has secured patents
for a silent f1rearm. It is announced
the discharge of any firearm from the
smallest pistol to the largest gun Is
rendered practically noiseleSs. The
invention consists of the use of a de-
vice similar to the "muff1er" used on
automo biles to deaden the noise of the
constant explosions by which the gaso-
line engine is operated. 1t is In the
the shape of muf1ier attached to the
muzzle of the frearm through which
the gases which drive out the bullet
or shell are allowed to escape gradual
" without the effect of an explosion.
BY this device which does not alter
the appearance of any weapon except
a short distance from the muzzie. the
escape of the gases following the dis
charge of the explosive is shut off just
as the bullet emerges from the muzzle.
This result is obtained by means of a
piston valve sliding across the bore of
the barrel Immediately after the bull
let passes. This valve Is actuated en-
tirely by the pressure of the gases
themselves and is not operated by any
intricate mechanical device.
Preventing the gases from escaping
suddenly and provoking q consequent
loud report, this valve allows them to
issue gradually through a series Of
except a slight Kissing sound. The
valve then resumes an open position
and a safety device prevents the firing
of another cartridge unless the valve
is in it's proper place Further, am
munition of varying kinds may be

SCIENCE
AND CONSUMPTION

Active work has been begun by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and Pre-
ventien of Tuberculosis to carry out the
work outlined by the International Con-
gress on tuberculosis. held in Washing
ton In September. It is believed possible
to stamp out the disease, and the predte-
ton has been made that in coming gener-
ations consumption will be as rare as
smallpox Is now.
1t is to everybody's interest to help IN
this work by caring for the Individual
health. Neglect of a cough or cold is or
ten the forerunner of g. more serious trou-
BILE. Every precaution should be taken to
prevent a cold from settling on the lungs.

therapeutic virtue that has made the at

healing effect in cases of throat, lung and
bronchial affections.

DEAD BY A STRAW STACK.

Mcbride, who lived with her son

breathing her last Tuesday lying near

been an invalid for long while and
during Monday night some time she
succeeded in getting away from her
room without the knowledge of the
other occupants of the house and
made her way to the water tank at
the we'll into which she fell, whether
purpose1y or not none can tell. She
got out of the water, however, and
made her way to a nearby straw
stack, where she was found in dy-
ing condition as stated.
She was carried to the house and
DR.. Olsen, who had been attending
upon her during her sickness was
called, but she died before he arrived.
It is learned that about a week ago
she got out in the night in much the
same manner and was found at that
time at the straw stack. 1t is believ-

AN ELECTRIC BOAT.
It Is Controlled by Wireless Station,
on the Shore.

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 26.-One of
the sights in the park lakes of this
city is the miniature boat of Mars
Baumgardt, which is controlled by a
wireless station on the shore. Mr..
Baumgardt can sit in his shore station
and guide the boat anywhere up and
down the lake by means of a double
half-cog wheel, plying in a smaller
cog set in the head of the standard,
which formerly ran up from the rudder
chains in the hold. He can throw the
rudder In any direction he chooses.
Besides this he can hold the rudder
straight ahead, half way to one side or
one quarter way. He is now working
on plan to hold it anywhere, thing
which other wireless workers of much
greater years than young Baumgardt
have so far failed to accomplish The
boat itself Is wonderful construction,
Tor 1t Is hewn from a solid block of
wood about three feet long 1t carries
q motor, propeller shaft and batteries
in the hold. Above this there is a deck
with cabins. In the upper deck there
are partitions dividing it into state
rooms. which have miniature furnish
ings. even including pictures, tiny
thumbnail sketches drawn by Mr..
Baumgardt.
This controlling of a ship by wireless
means opens vast field to the inven-
tor. and already many prominent men
are exertfng every energy to complete
and commercialize ideas along this line.
For example, torpedo, IL properly
equipped, could be guided from one ship
against an enemy with exact precision
and with far more deadly results than
are now possible. Or an airship of the
1ghter-than-a air type could be directed
over an enemy's camp and enough gun
cotton dropped to annihilate the entire
enemy.
