Open Air Schools Grow In Favor.

Open Air Schools Grow In Favor.
With the opening of the fall school
term. over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren in certain rooms and grades, Will
be in operation in various parts of the
United States. according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. All of these
schools have been established since
January, 1907. when the first institu-
tion of this character was opened in
Providence, R. l. On January list,
1910, there were only 13 open air
schools In this country and year
later the number had increased only
to 29. Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with Sc fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculous. anaemic
and other school children, Boston
alone having over so. New York comes
next with 20. and Ohio is third with
21. Open air schools have now been
established in nearly so cities in 10
different states.

One of the neatest and prettiest
ways of dressing the window of

easement scheme of decorations. For
this purpose there comes specially
sheer and fine cotton material called
easement cloth, through which the
light shines although the interior OF
the room is shielded from outside
eyes, but similar charming effect
may be produced by cotton voile. by
Chinese or wash silk. none of which
materials are costly. The arrange

fine sliding rods of brass which fit
into grooves at top and bottom of the

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 fish, 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 aloft, together with the
trueness of the aim as shown by the examna-
tion of the target. spoke emphatically then and
there of the great possibilities of fleets of aero
planes loaded with these rapid-fre guns, soaring
over column of the enemy's troops.
The potential result of swooping aircraft. arm
ed to the teeth with death-dealing bullets, is stag
gerng 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
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. Curously enough
the gun designed primarily for infantry and
cavalry Later. however, Colonel Lewis was
impressed with its possibilities for use in a,,ro
planes.
Heretofore the difficulties which have stood In
the way of servceable guns for aeroplanes have
been difficulty in manipulation too great weight,
terrific recoil which would knock the frai craft
out of gear. and flame from the rifle which would
endanger the machine.
In the Lewis gun these difficulties elimi-
mated. There is no smoke-no fame-only the
sound of explosion tells that the gun has been
fired. There is recoi 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 fred at high rate $50 shots minute,
but the rate may be reduced to $50 shots per
minute. to any number between these limits,
by simple adjustment of the gasport valve con-
trolling the admission of the gas to the piston
cylinder. When firing at full speed it takes ap-
proXinately four seconds to discharge 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 device whereby the barrel is kept con-
tinually cool BY automatically produced blasts of
air. The barrel of the gun is surrounded by
close-fittng aluminium Jacket, cylindrical in form
and having some twenty deeplycut longitudinal
grooves extending from breech to muzzle Out

TELEPATHY AMONG ANIMALS

Birds and beasts receive information through
the medium of earth vibrations. John d. Quack-
enbos NJ. D.. writes in the North American Re
view. Certain game birds and animals nre sens
tive to the faintest earth tremor, and are ap
preached only by the hunter who steps slowly
and carefully, without tarring the surface of the
ground. The nature of the vibrations also con-
veys a notion of the direction from which the
danger Is coming, and wild game depend as much
on their apprehension~ of this upon detection

earth's crust by the tides the pull of heavenly

PAYING FOR THE SPOONS


If it not for the souvenir thief no hotel
manager would be gray-headed or bald. Their
lives would be long dream of bliss. broken
three times daily by spasm of happiness when
they sell 35 cents worth of food for $1.25. But
the memento grabber ages him. I'VE tried to
make the waiter protect the silver said one the
other day. "And found that after the waiter
worked for month he owed money, be-
cause of fines for stolen silver. That wouldn't

fected by either direct 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 become overheated under
tinuous fire at full speed and that it will not
therefore be necessary to carry along an extra
barrel when the firing line Since no cooling
water is necessary, and no special mount except
a small stake 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 rock log, stump, tree mount of
earth. 1t Is possible to empty magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder or from the
hip the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable.
1t is a matter of note that of the most
conspicuous things on the battlefield in South
Africa was the jet of steam from the boiling
water which being used the barrels of
the rapid fire guns for cooling purposes.
The gun is simplicity itself 1t has only forty
parts. compared with twice that number
for other rapid fire guns. On the battlefield or
in the air where tools necessarily scarce, and
where they needed more than anywhere else
when they wanted the Lewis gun would GER
tainly worry, should some piece of the
mechanism be broken or otherwise get out OF
working order. since the only tool required to
dissemble or assemble the gun is the point of
bullet.
The sustained rapdity of fire of which the gun
is capable makes 1t far dangerous and
effective weapon than any bomb-dropping device
yet devised.
The accuracy of the firing of the Lewis
plane gun It's first test not only surpris-
ing in itself, but has aroused attention the part
of army and navy experts to the fact that

of many. including Colonel Lewis, who is also
the inventor the Lewis depression position
finder employed in the coast artillery
ice, 1t marks the beginning of development
that is destined to produce radical changes in
land defense and coast armaments, both for
ofense and defense.
According to Colonel Lewis, aeroplane cost
ing not than $4,000 will easily be able to

gun operator and the pilot. At height of
mile greater, and while moving at speed of
fifty miles per hour 1t will be possible with this
