WAR WEAPONS OF THE PAST.

 Range Death Dealers.

Crude Originals of She modcrn Long
 Range Death Gsa!ero.
 The commonest injuries produced in war are gunshot wounds. Until fifty years ago soldiers musket carried only about SSJ feet, and this degree of efficiency had not been exceeded for more than 200 years-namcly, from lG4O to 1859. In other words, the wars If Louis XIV, the struggles of the French revolution, the Napoleonlc wars, the Crimean war and our war of 1872 were all fought with firearms which had no effect at a distance greater than S35 feet. In 1857, how ever, the smcothbOre gun barrel was replaced by the riGcd barrel, and this change caused an immediate increase in the carrying distance to 209O feet At the time this result seemed 10 the whole worll nothing short of miracle, but as early as 1866 French officer, ChassepOt by name, invented rifle having calibcr Of lj m.lIlmeters, which carried 4,C0O feet Ten years be- fore this accomplishment would have seemed quite impossible. On Nov. 4, 1867, the new ChGSSCpot rife WIS sub mittcd 10 q practical test. The French sent detachment of men to occupy Rome and to hold it against the ad vancement of Garibaldi The effect of the new rifle In the engagements was so remarkable that the entire French army was immediately equipped with ChassepOts.
 The Chasscpot rife weighed nine pounds, and the Gras rifle. which was introduced in 1874. weighed nearly as much. but 1t had carrying distance Of COCO feet After remaining the same for 21T years. the carrying distance Of firearms was thus increased in fifteen years by 5,lG5 feet. Al the same tim" tEe firearms of the AuStrians, Frus sians and Italians were also greatly improved, and q repeating rife firing sixteen shots q minute and having . carrying distance of 0,000 feet came into practical use.
 The rifles In use today are much
 lighter, are more easily handled and carry a distance of more than !2,OJO feet at the rate Of @.7o0 feet per sec, ond. The revolver was first introduced in 1850; since then It has also under. gone great improvement Its carrying distance, which at first was only about 100 feet. was increased to 330 feet, then GSO, and finally 4GO0 feet,
 In comparison with such means of defense and oGensc lt is Interesting to call to mind the weapons Of the an cieuts. A javclin could be thrown abont eiChty-roar feet; the sling Ordi- narily hurled its missile 2iG feet, the Balearic slingmcn being famous, how ever. because tEcy cUuld hurl a stone S33 feet. The wooden bow was in usc until tue middle of the fifteenth cen rlry; by means of it ag arrow could be propelled a d!s,auco of 2t5 &&0 feet, while the steel cross'ow, which came into use later, carried from 3&0 10 3lO feet. The old blTr3orbuss O! thc pil- grimS. which was supported on a fork, was effective for about zoo feet The early musGet carried about 600 feet This Grearm was much improved so ] that it could shoot a distance of S35 feet, and this was the best the world kpeW until 1SJT.

 PROPER THING
German Minister Says Government Now on
 Right Track to
 End the War.

CHRISTIANIA. Norway, Dec. h. The Dagbladet published m inter view with Herr Michaels. German minister to Norway, outlining Ger many's point of view on the sub- marine controversy with Norway. The minister says in part:
 Germany cannot tolerate any special treatment of war and mer- chant submarines by neutrals Nor way is the sole neutral which by special instructions has conveyed the impression of adopting the view of the Entente.
 Germany is permitted by interna- tional law to defend herself with all her powers against Norwegian ships carrying contraband, and the recent food crisis in Great Britain, France, and Russia have shown that Ger many is on the right path
 Germany will not be deprived of the sharp weapon she possesses in the submarine. On the other hand Germany will always respect Nor ways really difficult position and the most we expect of really inde- pendent Norway is that she does not treat German warfare and Ger man economic problems differently than those of the enemy"

 q most certainly and emphatical ly approve your efforts, as President of the Association for National Ser vice. to secure the passage of a law making it obligatory upon every male citizen between the ages of Is and 21 to serve six months or a year, as the case may demand, in the field with the colors.
 I believe no one should be al- lowed to vote who has not thus served. Poiuoons and professional pacifists are out of place in a free republic.

Watch for Bands
On Wild Ducks

If you kill or capture a wild duck
bearing an aluminium band around
one leg having a number on one
side, and on the other statement
requesting that the U. S. Department
of Agriculture or the Biological Sur
vey be notified, you are requested to
send this band at once to the Bureau
of Biological Survey, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d.
c. This band, if accompanied by a
statement as to date, place and cir
cumstances under which the bird was
taken, will be of service to the Sur
vey in its efforts to determine the
longevity of individual ducks and
the routes of migration of the spe-
cies. The bands are being attached
to considerable numbers of wild
duck of several species which have
been cured of the duck sickness prev
alent around the Great Salt Lake,
Utah, and there released. The de-
partment is particularly anxious to
secure reports from these birds to
determine their complete recovery
from this malady, which has killed
hundreds of thousands of ducks in
Utah.
