DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim sileneer 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 siIencer have devel-
oped many other interesting cases.
For example: If rife equipped
with silencer is fired down q rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there Is distinct
crack heard for EACH telegraph pole
If the rifle Is fired from an open field
with tree or clump of bushes at,
say, zoo yards, there is heard a crack
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.
II, instead of firing parallel with the
ground. the gun is elevated and fred
straight up in the air, we hear no
noise ut 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 as
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that II engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious Of
nothing but report noise itself. 1t ia
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 are
many separate objects. we get many
separate reflections and separate
noises. If there are no rejecting OBJ
jects, such as when shooting straight
up into the air, then We get no re-
flected noise"

SUGGESTIONS OFFERED BY =
SECRETARY ADAMS.
Feared Land TRAFfICKINC
Thought Proposed Leasing System
Might Develop Badly--Independent
Men TO Ia,o II Chance.

In confirmation of the report pub
lished in these columns a few days
ago, to the effect that Assistant Sec
rotary Adams Mad absolutely refused
ln-approve the four blanket" leases
or the Unbiased Usage oil land, the
following dispatch is reported from
the Oil City Derrick:
WASHINGTON - Samuel Adams,
Tor has informed the Usage tribe Of
Indians that he could not oppose
the four leases that have been made
to cover all of the unleased land Of
the nation, in Oklahoma not covered
by the Foster lease. At a hearing
held at the department of the inter-
Tor Mr.. Adams told the council Of
the tribe that he could not approve
the provision requiring individual
consent of allottees prior to begin
ming drilling opedations on land
leased by the tribe, nor a lease re-
quiring less than one-siXth royalty
for the tribe. The rejected leases
We're those proposed by the Uncle
Sam Oil company. ID. o. Connel, Of
Pittsburg; John l.. Baird Of Paw
huska, and Wesley NJ. Dial Of Pawhus-
ka.
After an extended discussion the
council agreed to meet at once for the
purpose of drawing up tentative reg
ulations for opening the Usage lands
for oil development so that they
might be advertised and leases in
vited from oil men under their terms.
The Usage council is composed Of
eight members all of whom were pres
ent: They are Alfred II. Brown,
chief; Henry Red Eagle, assistant
chief; Harry Kahpay, Eaves Tail
Chief, Charles Michele, w. S. Mat
thews, The-sho-was- tian-hah, J. b.
Trumphy and He-shah-ah-re.
Mr.. Adams suggested that the Usage
council should frame a set of resolu-
tions embodying their ideas, in view
of his statements, and submit them
to the department for its approval
and 1t is expected these tentative
regulations will be ready for the In
spection of the assistant secretary in
he near future.
When the Usage council assembled
in the Office OF the assistant secretary
Mr.. Adams at once informed them Of
his views. He thought leases for large
tracts of land were undesirable be-
cause, unless they were very careful
ly guarded, the lessees might do but
little work while they held extensive
tracts. He thought the proposed
leases might result as had the Foster
leases. In having the drilling rights
He did not like the pro-
vision by which the leases were to
guarantee royalties on the basis Of
oil valued at so cents barrel be-
cause. a. worded. he thought the les

IF you understand me-" said Mr..
Adams, there is no need for taking
that course. | say want these leases
to provide for the protection Of the
| individual allottee If any damage is
done without RECOURSE to the courts. II
YOU do not want to understand what
] have said ! cannot help it."
Mr.. Leahy advocated a provision
in the leases for the payment Of a
specific sum OF money II the lessees
should fail to carry out the terms OF
Tthe leases for drilling given number
of wells and Mr. Adams replied that
he thought well Of such a provision.
ReplyingNto Mr.. Leahy, Mr.. Adams
said that should am effort be made on
the part Of the Osages to have con-
gress change the law permitting indi-
vidual consent of allott1es in the
making of oil leases on the Usage re-
servation, he would advise against
such a change on the ground that II
was bad business for the Indians as
tribe.
1T never pays to drive a bargain, -
said Mr.. Adams, when you cannot
see how the other fellow can profit
from the transaction. Either he puts
something over you that you have not
seen or you will get nothing from it.
A contract by which the other fellow
cannot live and make money is no
good to either party"
Mr. Leahy thought the men who
offered to make these leases were
shrewd enough to judge for themselv-
es as to what they could do, but Mr..
Adams thought men who would make
Osages demonstrated that they did not
have good judgment.
II agree said Mr.. Leahy. that
these leases are altogether in favor
of the Indians and not in favor OF
the lessees."
THE written consent clause Is
fundamentally wrong from every
point of view" added the firsti as
slstant secretary. =
After further d 'ussion an under
standing was reached to the effect
that the council should draw up ten
tative regulations embodying the
views of the assistant secretary as far
as they would agree to do 50 and
submit them FOR further consideration
Mr.. Adams did not see why the tribe
should not have the advantage Of
sub-leases If they were to be made
but did not see why the wisdom of
preventing the lessees from making
sub-leases If they thought they could
promote drilling in that way, these
sub-leases to be approved by the Sec
retary of the interior.
Mr.. Adams said he saw no objection
as a matter of law to the tribe pro-
viding that the gas should be used in
Usage county, as that might promote
Industrial development there. He
did, however, see the danger that the
