History Of the Gun.

Since the introduction Of gunpowder
az a propeller and the general use OF
firearms in warfare and hunting, there
has been more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter number Of
shots at his command without reload
Ing, and enable them to be rapidly dis
charged. The first patent for fire.
arm OF this description seems to have
been issued by the British patent Of
fee in l7lS, to James Puckle, a citi-
zen of London, for gun mounted
upon tripod. having a single barrel
and a revolving cylinder. Strangely
enough. one of the claims set forth in
this patent appears almost verbatim,
1870 years later, in a patent taken out
by Rollin White, an American invent
or OF n revolving pistol. Another Gu
rlous claim OF the patent was:
THE mechanism permits the use OF
square bullets against the Turk and
round bullets against Christians;
moreover, so great is the rapidlty Of
ire, that ships armed with the gun
cannot be boarded by an attacking

Neither is it to our credit to assert a

help little to look squarely at the truth
to see if we can't have trifle more re-

1t is not good to be ruled by fear. The
coward was never as efficient or as re-

When she greeted him that night
the expression was only partly con-
cealed by her smile of welcome.
1t took the girl more than an hour
to summon courage to tell Henry Dart

she had believed she possessed to be-

You are not. You-you need some
one to help you. I'm going to speak
frankly, Henry and take the conse-
quences on my own head. I have
known for five years that you-loved
me" Her voice almost broke on the
word and she saw the young doctor
clench the arms of his chair with his
strong hanGs-"that you intended to
ask me t. marry you when you felt
that you had something to offer me.

ment tells me: You need me to help

Henry came close to her and stood
over her chair. She had her elbow

EDUCATION FOLLOWS THE FLAG

1
There sailed from San Francisco fol
Manila last Saturday IS American mer
and women teachers. This number was
selected fro-sl a large eligible list GER
tilted by the United States civil service
commission as having the necessary
education and experience and having
passed the required examination for
the Philippine teaching service.
They came from nearly every state
in the Union, representing some of the
best universities, colleges and normal
schools in this country. Most of them
are college graduates, some have done
graduate work in the universities ana
others have pursued technical courses
preparing them to take charge of agr1-
cultural work, manual training and
trade school work and domestic sci
ence.
The average term of service of Amer
lean teachers in the Philippines Is
nearly six years, almost d year longer
than the average service of teachers in
this country.
Those sailing go to the Philippines
under a two-year contract. This pro-
vision is made to enable the govern
ment TO ascertain NIISlACA VI MI NAAS
teacher will succeed in the new field
and also to give the teacher a chance
tn find out whether or not there is a
sufficient future to the service to war
rant him in remaining. That there are
only IS vacancies this year out of near
" 700 positions for American teachers
in the service. indicates that those al
ready on the ground have the greatest
faith in the future of the educational
work in the islands.
Salaries, as ell as all the expenses
of the trip, are paid from Philippine
revenues. The federal government pays
no part of the cost of education in the
Philippines, Notwithstanding the fact
that nearly three and a half million
dollars are spent each year on the
schools of the islands.
When these teachers get ready to re-
turn to the United States, either on
leave of absence or by resignation at
the end of two or three years of SER
vice, the Philippine government will
pay them, in addition to salary up
to the last day of service, an amount
of money sufficient to pay their trans
portation home, either via Europe or
the Pacific, and they all say they ex-
pect to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to come home through Europe.

MOVIES FOR RECRUITS
New Army Plan to Influence More
Men Into Service.

Washington, May Use of motion pic
lures of army life the medium through
which the 10000 men necessary every year
recruited is advocated by Major r. C.
Croxton, U. S. A. The officer believes
that through the stimulation of interest
through the production of actual field
campaign, better recruits could be Sc
cured, fewer recruiting agencies would be
necessary and a great saving to the war
department would result.
Major Croxton's plan would include the
display of army films in the picture thea
tiers throughout the country. Each set of
films would be accompanied by a silver
tongued army man. well grounded in his
subject and capable of putting the ad-
vantages of military life in convincing,
manner. The expense of such plan, &C
cording to Major Croxton, would result in
a saving the present recruiting
methods of approximately $500, 600 a year.
