THE FANG IN LOVE.

The eyes are the windows Of the
soul, according to poetic theory
which has become established as axio-
matte. No fond youth reveling In
loves young dream ever doubted it.
Even a pronounced .astigmatism is
often esteemed as adding piquancy to
the fair features elevating the dearly
beloved to the empyrean dignity OF a
star-eyed goddess. says the Philadel-
phia Press. Did not the ancient
Greeks, who were unsurpassed judges
of feminine beauty, give their prefer
ence to the star-eyed maid? And I'M
der the magic spell of tender, confid.
ing look has ever lover failed to VOW
he could be true to eyes of blue while
gazing in eyes of brown? But now
the world is told that girls teeth are
the surest index of her disposition.
An observant dentist of Fargo. lately
attending convention In Washing
ton, announces his discovery. It's
most important bearing lies in the
statement: Girls with pink teeth
have loving disposition and will
make good wives" According to this
new gospel of character reading, the
dentist is the one who should be con-
suited for advice by young man
about to marry. If an examination by
the professional toothman shows that
a girls teeth are dull and chalky.
the discoverer of the principle of ma
tural selection by the scrutiny of In
cisors and molars declares that she
is mot prone to love and as gen.
! eral thing will not make good

fected nv either direct or transmitted heat no
matter of rapid and long-continued firing.
The development tests of the gun, which have
been in progress for two years, show that the
barrel does not become Overheated under con-
tinuous fire at full speed, and that it will not
therefore be necessary to carry along extra
barrel when on the firing line. Since no cooling
water is necessary, and no special mount except
a small stake or cowboy mount weighing about
eight pounds the field equipment of the Lewis
gun is reduced to minimum. The gun may be
fired from any natural support found in the field,
such as a rock, log. stump tree or mount Of
earth. It is even possible to empty a magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder or from the
hip, as the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable
1t is matter of note that of the most
conspicuous things on the battlefield in South
Africa the jet of steam from the boiling
water which was being used the barrels of
the rapid fire guns for cooling purposes.
The gun is simplicity itself. 1t has only forty
seven parts, as compared with twice that number
for other rapid fire guns. On the battlefield or
in the air where tools are necessarily scarce, and
where they needed more than anywhere else
when they are wanted the Lewis gun would GER
tainly worry, should some piece of the
mechanism be broken otherwise get out of
working order since the only tool required to-
dissemble assemble the gun is the point of
bullet
The sustained rapidity of fire of which the gun
is capable makes it far more dangerous and
effective weapon than any bombdropping device
yet devised.
The accuracy Of the firing of the Lewis aero
plane gun on its first test was not only surpris-
ing in ITSELF but has aroused attention on the part
of army and navy experts to the fact that
our battleships and the disappearing gun bat
teries of coast defenses are completely un-
prepared for attack from the air. In the opinion
of many, including Colonel Lewis who is also
the inventor of the Lewis depression position
finder now employed in the coast artillery serv-
ice, 1t marks the beginning Of development
that is destined to produce radical changes in
our land defense and coast ornaments both for
oftense and defense.
According to Colonel Lewis, an aeroplane cost
ing not more than $4,000 will easily be able TO
carry the gun, 1000 rounds of ammunition, the
gun operator and the pilot. At height of one
mile or greater, and while moving at a speed of
fifty miles per hour. it will be possible with this
gun to pour In the most destructive fire upon the

TELEPATHY AMONG ANIMALS

Birds and beasts receive information through
the medium of earth vibrations, John d. Quack-
enbos M. D.. writes in the North American ne
view Certain game birds and animals are sens-
tive to the faintest earth tremor, and are ap-
preached only by the hunter who steps slowly
and carefully without Earring the surface of the
ground The nature of the vibrations also con-
veys notion of the direction from which the
danger is coming, and wild game depend as much
on their apprehension of this as upon detection
by the ear When it comes to cosmic vibrations,
the subtle movements communicated to the
earth's crust by the tides or the pull of heavenly
bodies, animals mysteriously affected as to
appetite, sleep, nervous poise and possibly pro-
creation and migration.
Recent experiments have proved moths and
other insects to be capable of thought transfer
ence SO far-reaching to impress their fellows

Careful examination of the target showed that
out of the full magazine of fifty cartridges dis
charged by the gun operator, forty-fve shots had
hit the mark. The other five shots, the gunner
explained, had been sent into nearby fsh-pond
In order that he might get, by the splash of the
water, an instantaneous report of the accuracy
of his aim. The fact that this was the first time
the gun had been taken aoft together with the
trueness Of the aim shown by the examina-
ton of the target, spoke emphatically then and
there of the great possibilities of fleets of
planes loaded with these rapid-ire guns. soaring
over column of the enemys troops.
The potential result of swooping aircraft arm
ed to the teeth with death-dealng bullets is stag
gerfng to ordnance officers of the army and navy
who discuss It. Where will this lead?" they ask.
1t is possible that the air is to harbor the greatest
destructive forces in modern warfare? There
seems nothing to prevent it.
This remarkable aeroplane gun is the invention
of Lieut.Col. Isaac N. Lewis of the United States
army coast artillery corps. Curiously enough,
the gun was designed primarily for infantry and
cavalry use. Later however Colonel Lewis was
impressed with its possibilities for use in AFRO
planes.
Heretofore the difficulties which have stood In
the way of serviceable guns for aeroplanes have
been difficulty in manipulation, too great weight,
terrific recoil which would knock the frail craft
out of gear and flame from the rife which would
endanger the machine
In the Lewis gun these difficulties are elimi-
mated There is no smoke-no fame-only the
sound of the explosion tells that the gun has been
fired. There Is no recoil and the gun is so bal
anced by the magazine that the aim is not even
interrupted while the gun is being fired. 1t can
be fired at as high rate as $50 shots minute,
but the rate may be reduced to $50 shots per
minute to any number between these limits,
by a simple adjustment of the gasport valve con-
trolling tAe admission Of the gas to the piston
cylinder. When firing at full speed it takes APP
proximately four seconds to discharge a maya
zine of fifty cartridges, and the empty magazine
may be replaced by full one within two seconds.
1t might naturally be supposed that such rapid
ity of firing would soon overhead the barrel OF
the gun and render 1t temporarily useless One
of the distinguishing features Of the gun. how
ever is a device whereby the barrel is kept con-
tinually cool by automatically produced blasts of
air. The barrel of the gun IS surrounded by a
closefitting aluminium jacket cylindrical in form
and having some twenty deeply-cut longitudinal
grooves extending from breech to muzzle. Out

There is one pleasing thing to be
deduced from review of the figures
showing the fire loss in the United
States and Canada for the current
year, and that is that, while not by
any means small they have shown a
tendency toward diminution since the
beginning of the year. The amount
for August was Slabs, O00-the small
est for any month of the present year.
For the first eight months of 1912 the
fire loss aggregated $163, ESQ, $50. which
was approximately four million dol
lars less than for the corresponding
period of last year. though sixteen
millions in excess of that for the first
eight months of 1910.

The prodigious growth and develop
ment of population and industry in the
United States since 1870 marks an era
of world expcnsion, and most IN
teresting study may be made of how
American prosperity has benefited
other countries In every line of en-
deavor. Our own people might, with
profit, turn now and then from the
absorbing subject of politics and civil
reform to the statistical measurement
of their nations advance in agricul-
tural and industrial pursuits. It will
help us appreciate the favorable con-
ditions we enjoy and the miracles
wrought by intelligently applied en-
ergy. In 1879 as nation of 3S,558,371
we had total estimated wealth of
$S0,068. 5000: in 1912, with 95, 410,50S
inhabitants, our national wealth was
estimated at $3.50, 000.O0O,O0O. In the
same time our per capita wealth just
about doubled. being $17.51 in 1870
and $34.23 at present says the Omaha
Bee. Our farms numbered 2,659,985
in 1870, worth 4,S57,749; today we
have nearly 100000 farms valued at
more than $4,000, 900, 900. Mining
manufacturing and exports have main
tanned similar ratios of expension.
Social improvement, in the meantime,
including the amehoration of the work
er and his family, is incomparably be-
yond the status of AZ years ago.
