MAxIM'S MACHINE GUN.
A Terrible Engine of Death Which
Works Automatically.

Works Automatically.
Early in life Hiram Maxim showed
himself a marvellous genius as an In
ventor. An incident of his boyhood, in
which the recoil of a rifle attracted his
attention to an apparent loss of pow
er, led him in 1872 to utilize the force
of the recoil to good account in a gun
which loads itself automatically and
fires at the rate of no shots a minute
by the power of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun is an en-
CINE of terrible destruction. This gun
has only a single BARREL which, when
the shot is fred, recoils the distance of
three-quarters of an inch on the other
parts of the gun. This recoil sets NOV
ing the machinery which automatical-
ly keeps up a continuous fire at the ex-
traordinary rate of twelve rounds a
second
Each recoil of the barrel has there
fore to perform the necessary functions
of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, of bringing up the next full
one and placing it in its proper posi-
ton in the barrel, of cooking the ham,
mer and pulling the trigger.
As long as the firing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round In rapid succession. The barrel
Is provided with a water jacket to pre-
vent excessive heating.-Philadelp

Cactuses of Arizona.

Arizona has more than a hundred
kinds of cactuses, and Tucson is the
center of the great cactus region of
the southwest. These odd plants range
in size from the noble sahuara. or giant
cactus, forty or fifty feet high, to small
pincushion cactuses an inch or two In
diameter Sahuaras grow in great
abundance in the foothills between
Tucson and Yuma and are always OBJ
jects of wonder. 1t is believed large
plant is at least 200 years old. The
fruit begins to ripen in June and is
gathered in great quantities by In
dams. who make fine jam ana also a
pressed sweetmeat of it.

A glacier when it dislodges itself and
sails away over the Arctic ocean never
travels alone. In the wake Of every
large one floats a line of similar com
panions. The Eskimos call this phe-
nomenon 1.-THE duck and ducklings,"
and any one who has watched the
progress of the wild duck followed by
her brood will appreciate the aptitude
of the name. Strange as it may seem,
plants grow and blossom upon these
great ice mountains. When a glacier
Is at rest moss attaches itself to 1t,
protecting the ice beneath, just as
sawdust does. After a time the moss
decays and forms a soil, in which the
seeds of buttercups and dandelions,
brought by the wind. take root and
flourish

Professional Pawners.

In many of the mean streets Of Lon
don there are professional pawners--
women. well known to the pawnbro-
kers, who for small payments take
clothes and household goods to pawn
for their neighbors. 1t is stated that
the function of the professional pawn
er is twofold The woman who pawns
through q recognized intermediary gets
a larger loan than she would if she did
the business herself. For the pawn
broker the professional pawner guar
antees the good faith of the owner and

oDESSA'S RAPID RISE.
In Commerce and intellect It Is the
Capital of New Russia.

Capital of New Russia.
Odessa is one of the most important
seaports of Russia, ranking, by reason
of its population and its foreign trade,
after Petrograd, Moscow and Warsaw.
Since 1t was founded in 1904 near the
ruins of a Turkish fort that fell into
Russian hands in 1889 it has rapidly
become the intellectual and CONNER
cial capital of what is called New Rus
STA. 1t is the principal export town
for the extensive grain growing dis
tricts of south Russia, the see of an
archbishop Of the Greek Orthodox
church, the center of fine university
and the headquarters of the Seventh
army corps.
The port lies on the shore Of the
Black sea, about midway between the
estuaries of the Dniester and Dnieper,
o67 miles from Moscow and 3S1 from
Kiev. The city is built facing the sea,
on low cliffs, scanned with deep ra-
vines and followed out by galleries in
the soft rock. in which thousands OF
the poorest inhabitants live. But above
this are fine broad tree lined streets
and squares bordered with handsome
public buildings and mansions in the
Italian style and good shops Besides
the cathedral there are dozens of other
churches, a fine opera house and the
Palais Royal, which is a favorite place
OF resort.-London Chronicle.

only after we lose something of that
Joy of living and have found out for
ourselves that there are shadows which
no amount of sunlight can dispense
that we can readily appreciate the

find its way into our lives.
The little things that count so much
in our intercourse with each other are
