sufficient to prove that man did not occupy
the region until after the Introduction of
the horse gave him a beast which would
facilitate his movements out into the buff
falo plains AMI until after the settlements
in the east had begun to crowd the Indians
westward, nevertheless this negative evil
dence suggests quite strongly that at least
a portion of the Great Plains must have
been ~uninhabited until after the horse was
known to the Indians.
There are certainly no deep deposits of
village refuse nor a great amount of an
tiquities to be found in the region, such as
are easily discovered in places that are
known to nave been inhabited for a period
antedating the coming of the horse, as, for
instance, Ohio and the state of Washing
ton. To be sure the results of quarrying
are very extensive-a great deal of stone
has been m~oved-but those who know the
real Indian are aware that this work
could nave been done in a comparatively
short period Of time.
Or the whole, the results Of the two
archaeological trips to Wyoming would
suggest that that particular region until
after the advent of the horse was not in
habitcd."

ahead of any other army in the world in
efficiency, man to man. For the first
time in years This government has a chance
to ak a big step in advance Of the rest
Of the world in arming It's soldiers. and 1t
is desired to take full advantage of It.
There is no doubt that It will bring
about a greater revolution in warfare than
did smokeless powder. 1t will add an ele-
ment of terror that is almost Impossible
to describe. Smokeless powder robbed the
soldier of the sense of sight in the dis
charge of firearms, and now the noiseless
gun would render his hearing of no value.
Mentally, he would have II feeling of help
lessness that would tend to make towards
Of the bravest."
1t is believed in army circles that the
Maxim invention can be applied as readily
TO artillery as to small arms. Should this
be the case, 1T will result in both the army
and the navy ordnance being equipped
with the device. The expense would not
be great, while the results, IL the United
States should engage in war, would be be-
you'd measure.
The inventor OF this device is the son
OF Sir Hiram Maxim. who gave to the
world the machine gun. He lives in Hart
ford, Conn. The device is the result OF
long study of the problem OF muffling the
rapid explosions incident to the operations
Of an automobile. The report due to the
sudden release OF gases at the muzzle OF
a rifle when the discharge occurs is pre-
vented through the action OF a valve which
allows the gas to escape gradually, and
with an almost silent Kissing sound.
The appearance Of the weapon is not al
tered, except for a small orosspiece in the
barrel a short distance from the muzzle.
Just as the bullet energies the escape of
the gases is shut off. This result is gained
through a piston valve, sliding across the
bore CT the barrel Immediately after thu
bullet passes. The valve is operated by
the pressure of the gas, and there is no
intricate mechanism.
Tests are being made at the government
armory in Springfield, Mass, and accord
Ing to eports the discharge Of a gun with
out the noiseless device could be heard
$500 yards. With the device 1t could be
heard only 1900 yards, the invention thus
eliminating rs per cent OF the noise. All
that could be heard at the latter distance

BILE, but the climax is reached when one
considers the latest phase Of firearms as
developed in Hiram Maxim. jr.'s noisoless
rifle, which, indeed, must make war an
hnpossibility. Equipped with this new de-
wise, attached to an engine OF destruction,
the United States army would be practl-
caily invincible, and no foe need be feared
so long as the device remained an Amer
lean secret.
Experiments being made by an army
board are being watched with the closest
attention, and already the effect that the
elimination OF noise will have upon battle
tactics is receiving attention. Colonel r..
Birnie ana Major Tracy c. Dickson Of the
United States Army Ordnance board
realizes that its adoption means the re-
equipment OF the entire army and the
working out OF many difficult problems.
The government IL especially DESTROYS Of
keeping the matter OF the noiseless device
as quiet as possible and an injunction has
been placed upon the lips Of everybody in
the service.

The average urban resident looks upon the
automobile merely as a convenience, more
rapid In motion than the horse and less
likely to shy at strange objects. Such an
assumption is far from al adequate con-
ception Of the vehicle.
In Connecticut the owner of a newspaper
sends his paper to press by automobile, He
backs the machine up near his presses, at
-taches the power and the news is chugged
out away beyond speed limit.
Needless persons laugh at farmers who
mortgage their farms to purchase automo-

Of walking in at 4 o'clock and interfering
with milking--the carburetor may be heard
at the dairy. One motor car connected with
six milking machines can milk twelve cows
at a time. Is there churning TO be doneP
The motor can do almost everything but
roll the butter. Perhaps the farmer takes
his milk TO the station in his machine and
then he gets back in time to saw the wood
for cooking breakfast. He attaches a cir
cular wood saw 10 the motive power of the
car and the result Is highly satisfactory,
This may even explain why so many
tramps frequent large cities. There are
now less opportunities than ever for them
to saw wood for a breakfast in suburban
places. The automobile fairly snorts at
their shiftlessness.
This snort, redolent Of disdain and gaso-
line, one hears often now at the hayinow
in place OF the accustomed sneeze OF a
horse trying not TO contract hay fever
While hosting fodder into the barn. No
longer need the patient animal at the far
end Of a pulley rope start upon a run, only
to be brought up short. under the impress
sion that he has made a false start. while
time Is given him to reflect upon the per-
versity Of mankind. and the farmer TO un-
hitch hay from pulley and send the hoist
ing hook out for more. A motor car runs
out with the rope now, and lifts doubls the
quantity without straininS a muscle.

A Little Light on Its Pre-
historic Inhabitants.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Harlan I.
Smith. archaeologist of the American
Museum Of Natural History, has returned
from a 452-mile wagon trip of recon
nolssance in northeastern Wyoming, made
In the interests Of the museum. Besides
securing the first archaeological specimens
ever brought from the region which extends
from the Black Hills to the Big Horn
mountains In northeastern Wyoming, he
photographed among other things pre-
historic quarries, ancient pictures painted
on cave walls representing prehistoric cave
dwellers and sculptures cut on the cliffs
and sides Of natural caves.
All of these were discovered by Mr.. Smiths
party and were unknown to the scientific
world until now. The results of the trip
will be published by the museum in its
ootavo a-nthropological papers, fully illus
trated. and this report viii throw new light
on the prehistoric Americans.
The expedition was sent out to continue
the work which Mr.. Smith started for the
museum last year, when he made a three
months trip, crossing and recrossing tho
southern part OF Wyoming. The whole
work is a contribution by the museum
toward an investigation into the archae-
ology OF a vast unexplored region, includ-
ing the great plains, the barren lands and
the plateau region of America, regarding
which there is practically no archaeological
knowledge.
Locating Old Home sites.
Wyoming is near the southern center of
this region and seemed to be. the nucleus
from which the work might be started.
Mr.. Smiths task was to look over the
field In order to locate sites where people
lived before white men visited the state
and which It would be profitable to eXca-
waite, Incidentally securing as much in
formation as possible,
Among the general problems which
present themselves for solution may be
mentioned the following; When did the
region first come to be inhabited2 What
was the natural culture OF the first inhabi-
tants7 Were people living In the area
before the Introduction OF the horse, and
n so. how did the coming OF this animal
affect their culture9 Was there more than
one culture in the region either In various
parts or during different periods OF time?
And II so, where are the boundaries Of
these cultures and what are the charac-
t~eristlcs OF each cultureg
Mr.. Smith secured the services Of Dan
-Chalfant, an experienced cowboy, at Lusk.
With a team and a wagon, on the side
of which was dashed a five-gallon eask for
carrying water through the desert places
they made the trip with only one mishap
the breaking OF all the spokes in one
wheel.
