Rifle for Under Water Action.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use OF knife. or. failing that. ON a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention Of Captain Grobl
a German diving instructor. who has
constructed rife which can be fired
under water. and is designed for the
better arming Of diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that II
fires. not bullets. but water, which is
propelled with such force that 1t has
an extraordinary power Of penetration.
Indeed. the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel

How few of the thousands blacken-

the months and years OF preparation

achievements seem--so easy, so en-
tirely without effort. But try It; try
even to mink OF doing 1t. and you win
see how hard 1t can be. how much one
must know. as well as how well one
must be able to do. 1t Is absolutely
necessary to know the motor and its
little personal idiosyncrasies. it's
kinks and weak points. The aviator
must know every bone In the body Of
his machine just as good horseman
knows his horse. and have absolute
confidence in every part. or. II he can
not have that. he must know It's weak
point. and how to favor that one point
so that II will get the least strain
possible. From this one begins to see
what Is required OF the flying man.

imperative demands on brain and

had dates stuffed with nuts for years.

water for about 20 minutes. then stone
them carefully. Try not to break up
the prune any more than necessary.

and a loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally 1t amounted to
