PAYING FOR THE SPOONS

If 1t were not for the souvenir thief no hotel
manager would be gray-headed or bald. Their
lives would be one long dream Of bliss, broken
three times daily by spasm of happiness when
they sell 35 cents worth Of food for SIPS. But
the memento grabber ages him. I'VE tried to
make the waiter protect the silver" said one the
other day "And we found that after the waiter
worked for us a month he owed us money, be-
cause of fines for stolen silver That wouldn't
do. That same waiter would do his waiting else
where-frst trying to break even with the estab
lishment before leaving. And 1t is very unpleas-
ant to lock the doors Of private dining room
until we audit the teaspoons"
So all hotel managers have adopted a new
plan. The cost Of stealing silver is included in
the bill for the meal you take in the public din
ing room. That is a matter of average. When
you dine with merry little party-or several
merry littleparties, as 1t sometimes happens-in
a private room, 1t is also included in the bill Not
long ago the man who entertains outoftown buy
ers in a certain wholesale line ordered private
dining room and special dinner for half dozen
guests. The hotel manager gave him figure
Tell your cook to spread himself on this din
ner." said the prospective host, laughingly. my
guests are all from the west"
Pardon me-" said the manager hurriedly. Il
forgot an item. Your bill win be 50 more"
The host looked at the memorandum and found
an item marked Spoons"
Much better to charge for the spoons In ad
vance" said the hotel man, without blush THE
ladies from out of town all take EN- So do the
ladies from in town. This way we're safe and
they're saved sin"

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 are sensi-
tive to the faintest earth tremor, and are APP
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 a 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 1t comes to cosmic vibrations,
the subtle movements communicated to the
earth's crust by the tides the pull Of heavenly
bodies, animals are mysteriously affected as to
appetite, Sleep nervous pose and possibly pro-
creation and migration.
Recent experiments have proved moths and
other insects to be capable OF thought transfer
ence so far-reaching as to impress their fellows
miles away with a knowledge of their where
abouts.
It is well known to whalers that cetacean
struck by harpoon has power instantly to con.

If one trout in a pool has caught a glimpse Of

so that his most attractive lures are offered In
vain. What one knows all know at the same
moment through an interchange of subconscious
states. Aristotle noticed that the female par

Some twenty years ago the late Austin Corbin
purchased $4,000 acres of farm and wood land in
New Hampshire and stocked the estate known
as Blue Mountain park with elk and deer. In
1897 is was predicted that the extinct carnivores,
whose natural food is venison would return to
the region Not long afterward the presence Of
pumas, or mountain lions, was reported in the
park and vicinity, and the black bear lynx and
wildcat are conspicuously in evidence today.

fected by 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 1t will not
therefore be necessary to carry along an 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 mount of
earth. 1t Is even possible to empty magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder or from the
hip, as the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable.
It is a matter Of note that one of the most
conspicuous things the battlefield in South
Africa was 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 OF
in the air where tools are necessarily scarce, and
where they are needed more than anywhere else
when they are wanted, the Lewis gun would GER
tainly cause no worry, should some piece Of the
mechanism be broken or otherwise get out of
working order since the only tool required to
dissemble OF assemble the gun is the point of
bullet
The sustained rapidity of fire Of which the gun
is capable makes 1t far more dangerous and
effective weapon than any bomb-dropping device
as 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 the part
of our army and navy experts to the fact that
our battleships and the disappearing gun bat
teries Of our coast defenses are completely I'M
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, it marks the beginning of development
that is destined to produce radical changes in
our land defense and coast ornaments, both for
offense 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
deck and fire control masts of battleships, and

Pe-ru-na is better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-ao. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done great work In
relieving catarrh, chronic and acute.
Many hundreds of cases Of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same is true Of the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last si1
years since it's revision.
There is a difference, however, in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na Is the best. In
deed, this Is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be

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 rapidfre guns, soaring
over column OF the enemys troops.
The potential result of swooping aircraft, arm
ed to the teeth with deathdealng bullets is stag
gering to ordnance officers Of the army and navy
who discuss 1t. 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 1t.
This remarkable aeroplane gun is the invention
of Leut.-Col Isaac N Lewis of the United States
army coast artillery corps Curiously enVugh,
the gun was designed primarily for infantry and
cavalry use Later, however Colonel Lewis was
impressed with it's 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 fame from the rife which would
l0ndanger the machine.
In the Lewis gun these difficulties ara 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. It can
be fred at as high rate NJ $50 shots minute
but the rate may be reduced to $50 shots per
minute, or 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-
proximately four seconds to discharge a maya
kline Of fifty cartridges and the empty magazine
may be replaced by full one within two seconds
1t might naturally be supposed that such rapid
fly OF firing would soon overhead the barrel of
the gun and render it 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 a
close-htting aluminium Jacket cylindrical in form
and having some twenty dseFly-cut longitudinal
grooves extending from b-eeeh 70 uluzzle Out

forming a series Of inclosed air
