Careful examination of the target showed that
out OF the full magazine of fifty cartridges dis
charged by the gun operator, forty-five shots had
hit the mark The other FIVE shots, the gunner
explained, had been sent into a nearby fsh-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 shown by the examina-
ton of the target, spoke emphatically then and
there of the great possibilities of fleets of
planes loaded with these rapid-hre 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
gering 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
seems nothing to prevent it.
This remarkable aeroplanc gun is the invention
of LeutcCol. Isaac N. Lewis OF the United States
army coast artillery corps. Curiously enCugh,
the gun was designed primarily for infantry and
cavalry use. Later however Colonel Lewis was
impressed with its 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 flame from the rife which would
endanger the machine
In the Lewis gun these difficulties are elimi-
mated, There is no smoke-no fame-only the
sound of the explosion tells that the gun has been
nred 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 fired at as high a rate as $50 shots minute
but the rate may be reduced to $50 shots per
minute. or to any number between these limits
oy simple adjustment of the gasport valve con-
trolling the admission Of the gas to the piston
cylinder. When firing at full speed II takes ap-
proximately four seconds to discharge a maya
zine OF fifty cartridges and the empty magazine
may be replaced by full one within two seconds
II might naturally be supposed that such rapid
ity OF firing would soon overhead the barrel of
the gun and render II 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-ntting aluminium jacket. cylindrical In form
and having some twenty deepy-cut longitudinal
grooves extending from breech to muzzIe. Out

NEW LAWS THAT WOULD AID
Enactment Of National Statute That
Would Recognize and Define
Cooperation 10 Needed.

A national law, recognizing and de-
fining the true principle Of co-opera-
ton, is needed. An act providing for
the incorporation of cooperative COM
panies on a non-stock-dividend basis.
establishing the principle of control
by equal vote of the members with
out respect to the number of shares
each holds, would, In the opinion Of
many, greatly aid the movement. Such
q national act is particularly needed
in the case of cooperation for fnan-
cial credit, which organization must
perform some of the functions that
have been neglected by the country
banks. says the Country Gentleman.
The prime need is to safeguard the
cooperative enterprise from the pro-
moter.
Wisconsin has passed a law de-
signed to make cooperation easier.
other states are considering such
measures. In some states the divi-
sion Of profits upon any but stock
basis is without sanction Of law, and
In case a settlement should be forced
in a cooperative organization in these
states the true principle Of co-opera-
ton could not prevail. A national law
would be desirable, since most of the
operations of cooperative enterprises
are interstate in scope and would be a
long time before we could hope to
have uniform state laws. The great
est good Of a national law would be
the recognition Of the principle Of
real cooperation.

TELEPATHY AMONG ANIMALS

Birds and beasts receive information through
the medium of earth vibrations, John ID. 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 upon detection
by the ear. When it 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 knowledge of their where

It is we'll known to whalers that cetacean

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
Blue Mountain park with elk and deer. In
1897 is 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. reported In the
park and vicinity. and the black bear lynx and
wildcat are conspcuously 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 it will not
therefore be necessary 70 carry along extra
barrel when on the firing line. Since cooling
water is necessary and 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

such as a rock, log stump. tree OF mount of
earth. 1t is even possible TO empty a magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder from the
hip, as the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable.
II is a 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 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 or
in the air where tools necessarily scarce, and
where they are needed more than anywhere else
when they are wanted the Lewis gun would GER
tainly cause worry, should some piece of the
mechanism be broken or otherwise get out of
working order. since the only tool required to
dssemble or assemble the gun is the point of a
bullet

effective weapon than any bomb-dropping device
yet devised.
The accuracy Of the firing of the Lewis aero
plane gun on it's 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 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, 1t marks the beginning of a 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

three-quarters inches in diameter
at the breech and two and seven
eighths inches at the muzzle end
of the gun. The grooves in the
steel jacket have full access to the
atmosphere at the breech, thus
forming a series of inclosed air
ducts running the entire length of
the barrel. Each time the gun is
fired the ejector action of the dis
charge blast sucks through these
ducts, from the rear, a draft of air
which serves to carry of the heat
transmitted to the jacket from the
barrel The cooling is automatic
in action, without the use of water
or other cooling liquid and without
mechanism or moving parts. As
aluminium has six times the heat
conductivity of steel and but one
third its weight, this very effective
method of cooling the gun adds
but a few pounds to the total
weight carried.
Another novel feature which diff
ferentiates the Lewis gun from all
J other gas-operated guns is the

which is located near the trigger
