DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim sllsneer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice, Hiram Percy
Maxim writes: Our experiments
with the Maxim silencer have devel.
oped many other interesting cases.
For example: II ride equipped
with = silencer is fired down . rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there IL a distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
II the rife IL fred from an open held
with . tree or . clump Of bushes at,
say, 200 yards. there is heard crack
from this clump OF trees. II there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard crack for each of them
If. instead OF firing parallel with tho
ground, the gun Is elevated and fred
straight up In the air, We hear no
noise at all. except the fall of the ham.
msr and the pun of the gases escap
Ing from the silencer.
"The reason for this is probably al
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise Is SO loud that 1t engulfs all
other sounds. and we are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself. 1t IL
not until this report noise is annulled
that We can hear the bullet flight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond tho gun, can
come back to the shooter only by re-
Election.
eff there 10 one object. We get one
reflection and one noise. II there are
many separate objects, we get peany
separate reflections and separate
noises. II there are no rejecting OBJ
Iects, such as when shooting straight
up into the air, then We get no re-
dected noise"

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever prominent person dies, espe-
oially II he is connected with the gov
ernment, the flags on public build
lngs are hoisted only part OF the way
up. remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec.
ton there could be between nag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death Of great man?
Ever since Tags were used in war It
has been the custom to have the flag
Of the superior or conquering nation
above that Of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten 1t hauled its nag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was token not only OF
submission, but Of respect.
In those days when . famous SOL
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ego passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the nag flying at half mast being
sign that the dead man was worthy
Of universal respect. The space left
above It is for the nag of the great
conqpeorr of all-the angel Of death.
