I.and ownershIp Is GOOD.

Whether the real estate agen
uses the following line OF nrgumen
advanced by the Parkersburg Dis
patch.News. there is a lot OF gospe
truth In II that would not only hell
the real estate man but also, II fol
lowed would prove highly ad
yantageous to the character of cit.
izenship and the prosperity and sub.
stantiality of the country:
The first step toward becoming a
good citizen Is to own piece oil
land. In ever sense the earth is
really that on which we live. 1t sup
ports us not only as a place to phys
icaily stand, but IT supports us by
furnishing that on which the contin-
uance OF our lives depend.
No one is prepared to love this
world SO we'll. and to be attached to
Its welfare SO closely until he can
call his own a spot of land-that
which is physically and really the
world,
Owning the land has had an up
lifting and ennobling effect on man
since humanity left Its cradle. No
people has ever been enslaved or
greatly oppressed when the earth on
which they lived belonged to them.
The anarchists-the would-be de-
stroyers of today-do not own land.
II they did, the first effect on them
would be to create instead of de-
stroy, to build up rather than tear
down.
II You want to be filed with love
instead Of hate, buy a piece of land,
preferably in the country, where you
can see the earth producing some
thing; see the crystal dew upon the
grass and the real effects OF the rain
that falls from heaven.
You cannot be conscious OF what
the earth is without it. 1t is not
necessary for you to buy a fertile
acre. It is really a piece of selfish
ness for you to want land to be rich
when 1t comes into your possession.
When you buy land that is poor and
then improve 1t. You have the hap
plness of the land looking up into
your face and saying: 81 know
that my Redeemer liveth."
All great men have loved the.
earth. According to scriptural ira
dition. the earth has brought them
forth; and according to our own
actual knowledge. 1t is the only
bosom which is kind enough to hold
us always.
The one word in Importance above
all others which We would speak to
every youth: Get you some quantity
of land.

MAKING GuNFlRE SILENT.

1t was smaziuR to sec Mr.. Maxim
fire time and again into the sand in
the target aud to listen in vain for
the expected detonaton of the riff -
doubly &c after ones ears had been
assailed by the unsilenced explosion
of the Winchester says Harper's
Weekly. The sound produced the
oombinstion of that made by the
hammer striking the target aud the
bullets passage and impact into the
sand-in no manner resembles rifle
fire..
That is all the sound that was to
be heard, even when the inventor
discharged Springfield. the new
United States army rife, which is
powerful in the world The Spring
field bullet has an initial velocity
of about 2700 feet second, and.
when fired under normal conditions,
produces an impact upon the ear
that is distressing to civilian.
But with the silencer attached to
tho muzzle the Springfield is abont
as noisy as knife thrust into a
potato
That the silencer actually catches
and subdues the gases produced by
the explosion, so that the faiut sound
that remains is in nowise due to the
explosion OF gases which Is the cause
of the denotation that occurs when u
gun IL discharged WAS iugenuously

ailenner removed. Mr. Maxim fred
again. The card and the contriv-
ance which held 1t were blown to
fragments by the force Of the gases.
This Is the manner in which the
new invention works As soon as
the gases produced by the explo-
sion Of the powder enter the silencer
from the barrel of the gun they en-.
counter the spiral chambers in the in.
terror of the tube and are set whirl-
ing at great speed. The tendency of
wbirlipg bodies is centrifugal-that
Is to say. they fly out from the center,
as has been discovered by all who
have hidden in the Maxim "fying
machines at amusement parks,
which are operated upon this prin-
oiple. inasmuch as the only means
of exit from the silencer is near the
center Of the end portion, the gases
are unable to effect their escape until
they have slowed down sufficiently
to have overcome their centrifugal
tendency. When they emerge /.
therefore they are proceeding at a
speed so much reduced that the shock
to the atmosphere aud the waves of
sound which impinge upon the ear
are SO reduced as to become almost
inaudibls.
