Gamhetta's Table.

There is curious story told OF the
table at which Gambetta wrote. A
previous owner, General Lahitte, min
lister for foreign affairs in 1849. dis
missed his confidential servant because
he believed he had stolen large sum
Of money in 1000 franc banknotes.
Years afterward. when the table had
to be repaired. the joiner employed for
the work found the missing bundle
Of banknotes between the mahogany
board Of the table and the drawers be-
low. They. had lain there unnoticed
for fourteen years. Unfortunately the
story does not go on to say that the
poor servant and his mistaken master
were alive at the time Of the discovery
and that the ones character was clear
ed and the others confidence restored.

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 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 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
earths crust by the tides or the pull OF heavenly
bodies. animals are mysteriously affected as to
appetite. sleep, nervous polse and possibly pro-
creation and migration.
Recent experiments have proved moths and
other insects to be capable of thought transfer.

miles away with knowledge OF their where.

1t is well known to whalers that cetacean
struck by a harpoon has power instantly to con.
yey intelligence OF the presence OF an enemy to
a spouting school half mile distant so that the
individuals composing It Immediately disappear
below the surface. Every angler Is aware that
II one trout In pool has caught glimpse OF
him all are instantly apprised OF his presence,
so that his most attractive lures are offered In
vain. What one knows all know at the same
moment through an interchange of subconscous
states. Aristotle noticed that the female par.
fridge is affected by distant male bird through
what he described a breeze from the males
direction.
Some twenty years ago the late Austin Corbln
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 venlson, 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

feced by either direct or transmitted heat no
matter OF rapid and long.contnued 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.
tnuous fire at full speed and that 1t 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 sinai. 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 rock log, stump, tree mount OF
earth. II Is even possible 10 empty magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder or from the
hip as the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable.
II Is matter OF note that one OF the most
conspicuous things on the battlefield in South
Africa was the Jet Of steam from the boiling
water which was being used on 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 'hs air where tools are necessarily scarce and
whore they are needed more than anywhere else
when they are wanted the Lewis gun would GER
ta!nly cause no worry, should some piece OF the
mechanism be broken or otherwise get out OF
working order since the only tool required to
ulsseHlD!e or assemble the gun Is the point OF
bullet
The sustained rap!dlty Of fire OF which the gun
Is capable makes Il far more dangerous and
effective weapon than any bomb.dropping device
as yet devised
