thing Of q speiIbinder.


An anecdote which is amusing on &C.
count of the cheek" 1t displays, comes
from Ohio. 1t was during a freshet,
after a season Of protracted drought.
A great flood came down the Ohio
river, bearing on its bosom haystacks,
driftwOod, sawlogs, live stock and a
few men, women and children clinging
to the wrecks of their houses. Hun
dreds Of people came forth to rescue
the drowning victims, others sought
to save the perishing cattle. horses
and sheep, but none SO excited as a
sawmill man. He had an eye-both
eyes-on the sawlogs, thousands OF
them. and all the property of men 500
miles up stream.
He wanted those logs, but at the
same time he did not want to incur
any personal risk. So he mounted the
head Of his logway and attracted the
attention Of so many Of the crowd as
were not trying to save life and prop
erty. and made an eloquent speech.
The ending was something like this:
And now. fellow citizens and men-if
you are men-bestir yourselves and
save those logs. and III give you half
Of them!"
They say 1t is an actual fact that
the men saved" about 100 logs be.
fore they realized the absurdity of the
offer.

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

are easily discovered in places that are

antedating the coming of the horse, as, for

are very extensive-a great deal of stone
has been moved-but those who know the
real Indian are aware that this work

short period OF time.

with airships, aeroplRnes and dirigible
balloons war, indeed, must become terri
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 wal an
hnpossibility. Equipped with this new de-
wise, attached TO an engine OF destruction,
the United States army would be practi-
cally 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 hRv upon battle
tactics is receiving attention, Colonel r.
Birnie ana Major Tracy C. Dickson of the
United States Army Ordnance board
realizes hat its adoption means the re-
equipment OF the entire army and the
working out OF many difficult problems.
The government is especially DESTROYS OF
keeping the matter OF the noiseless device
as quiet as possible ard an injunction has
been placed upon, the lips OF everybody in
the service.
THE fact OF the matter is said one
Officer that II this invention OF Maxim
proves entirely successful the United
states army will be placed 50 per cent

ahead of any other army III the world in
efficiency, man to man. For the first
time in years his government has a chance
to take a big step in advance Of the rest
OF the world in arming its soldiers, and It
is desired to take full advantage of It.
There is no doubt that II will bring
about a greater revolution in warfare than
did smokeless powder. It will add an e!e-
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 a 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
witt the device. The expense would not
be great, while the results, II 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 muffllng 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 reports the discharge of a gun with
out the noiseless device could be heard
$500 yards. With tho device il could be
heard only 1900 yards, the invention thus
eliminating 70 per cent OF the noise. All
that could be heard at the latter distances
