DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use OF
Maxim SIencer 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: If rifle equipped
with a silencer is fired down a rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there Is distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
II the rife Is fired from an open field
with a tree or clump OF bushes n
say 2OO yards, there Is heard a Grad
from this ciump 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 the
ground, the gun is elevated and fred
straight up In the air, we hear no
noise at all, except the fall Of the ham,
mer and the puff of the gases escap-
Ing from the silencer.
THE reason for this Is probably "a
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that IT engulfs all
other sounds, and We are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself. 1t is
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 the gun, can
come back to the shooter only by re-
Election.
IF there is one object, we get one
reflection and one noise. II there ara
many separate objects, we get many
separate reflections and separate
noises. If there are no rejecting OBJ
1ects. such as when shooting straight
up into the air, then we get no re-
6ected noise"

Every trace OF useful information

resistible joke? The lower animals
take their young seriously and train
them from the start with a very def.

And we sit calmly by and enjoy the
"humor" of childhood and insist that
the child is enjoying itself also, even
though its little'soul may be thirsting
for information which Is laughingly

One important point which is quite
overlooked by the upholders Of the

is ALWAYS SOME CELEBRITY
Nobody Ever Recalls That In Previous
incarnation He Was Hum
BILE Person.

DR.. Julia Sears, head Of the New
Thought School," says: There are
enough people on the planet today who
remember one or more Of their inca
nations to make 1t certainty that re-
Incarnation is a positive fact"
All right. doctor; we'll add this to
our list of positive facts, which Is al
ready become somewhat unwieldly.
Still, there Is question which has been
puzzling US a good while. and we now
make bold to ask: Why Is 1t that.
among all those people who remem-
Der one OF more of their incarnations.
not one can remember being an hod
carrier, an ,undertaker's assistant, or
an office boy In a soap factory? There
Is strong tendency to run toward
royal families, court musicians. and
philosophers. Two or three persons
can distinctly remember having been
Joan Of Arc, and the number Of rein
carnated Napoleons and Louis Four
reenths Is growing all the time. But
the man we are anxious to meet 10
the chap who can remember With
pleasure his incarnation as the
brawny white wings" who pushed tn
scoop around the arena of the Roman
Coliseum after the show was over and
the animals retired, or the employe OF
the Imperial Health Department
whose duty 1t was to descend into the
Cloaca Maxima when 1t got clogged.
Another New Thought which comes
at this moment Is in connection with
the statement of DR.. Sears that she
was the italian singer Marsha 400
years ago. was bitterly discontinued,
and now she longs to sing and cannot.
There's matter for rumination In this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the
young woman in the apartment ad.
Joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing. or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, is because she had a sweet
pipe several hundred years ago and
didn't make the most of it.-Puck.
