have been cleared for this purpose at
all because time and experience have
shown that the soil is not adapted to
farming. These one-time farms are
now being permitted to revert TO the
forest because they are natural forest
lands, and, when they are once more
timbered and managed under modern
forestry methods, they will yield
revenues to their owners far and
away beyond any profits that could be
expected of the same land under til
lage. This is not abandonment, it is
development. But superficial or care
less generalization and thoughtless
speech have contributed to make cur
rent throughout the country the
rather unpleasant idea that a very
great extent of tillable land in Yer
mont has been abandoned for econo-
mic reasons indicating the failure Of
agriculture generally in this region.
AS q matter of fact, there never was
time In the history of the state
when agricultural land, that is, soil
that nature designed for crop raising
was so we'll cultivated or so profitab-
ly cultivated, all things considered, as
II Is today. And side by side with
this progress is now seen the first
serious attempts at modern forest
culture of which the socalled abandon
ed farm movement is only an encour-
aging part.

Submarine Rifle.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sea monsters likely to do him
harm, the diver has at present to rely
for his safety on the use of the knife,
or, failing that, on a quick return to
the surface. Now comes the inven-
tion of Captain Grobi, a German div
ing Instructor, who has constructed a
rifle which can be fired under water,
and is designed for the better awning
of the diver. The most remarkable
thing about this is that it fires, not
bullets, but water, which is propelled
with such force that it has an extra
ordinary power of penetration. In
dee, the inventor himself has pierced
armor plate of medium thickness with
the water jet from his weapon. The
rifle has a stout barrel and is loaded
with cartridge cased in india rubber.
1t is worth recalling, perhaps. that ex-
periments were made in the SOS with
"a submarine rifle firing small explo-
sive projectiles by means of COM
pressed air, but the invention never
got beyond the experimental stage and
no details of it are to be had.
