CURVED RIFLES USED
Guns That Shoot over Parapets Now
in Bio War

Guns That Shoot over Parapets Now
in Big War
A rifle that shoots over the parapet
while the user sits in comparative
safety in the trench without necessity
for exposing himself to the fire of the
enemy is late invention brought on.
by a well known sportsman and big
game hunter of this country The fea
ture of this invention is that the rifle
is held vertically while the projectile
is fired horizontally. This is accom-
plished by a curved DETECTING tube
fixed to the muzzle Of the gun, that
changes the course Of the projectile
from the certical to the horizontal a.
It leaves the gun.
In spite of the enormous friction
that must accompany this change o!
direction the tube as shown by actua
tests, is not subject to excessive veal
while the effective range Of rifle
equipped with this device is between
100 and $50 yards.
The rifle is aimed by means Of ;
periscope consisting of two mirrors
one fixed to the upper end and tn
other to the lower end of tube tina
is mounted on the rifle barrel. The de
vice rs adapted only to close rang
fighting and is particularly intende,
for use in repelling charge. altho
is evident that it can be used effect
lively for shooting from behind built
ing or other shelter.-Popular Mechar

and profit t-----------Sl,4O 400
1t will be noted that 5000 was the
highest bid received for the standing
timber, whereas he cleared 81, 400.
In western Ohio, Il woodlot owner
who had carefully protected his best
timber for many years accepted in
1914 local buyers lump sum offer of
$500 for the timber on 6.5 acres. The
trees We're tall. clean. good-siZed
white and bur oak of high grade. By
a careful measurement of the stumps
and tops, made just after logging, the
writer found that the tract had yield
ed not less than 14,5OO board feet per
acre, or total of something over
"a, 500 board feet. A fair price for
this quality of timber would be SIT
per 1000 feet on the stump. At this
rate the timber included in this sale
was worth not less than $1,436, OF
81, ,176 more than the farmer received
for it. Though this may seem to be
an extreme case, mistakes only
slightly less striking are common.

HOW MAN MADE $4,000
MORE ON A WOODLOT

WASHINGTON, d. C.-That the
woodlot owner who merely guesses
at the value of his timber may find his
guess work very costly is well illus
trated by the following instances Of
the difference between guesswork and
intelligent solving of woodlot prob
lens taken from U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 715,
Measuring and Marketing Woodlot
Products.
A woodlot owner in Maryland re-
ceived an offer of 81 500 for tract
of timber, which he was inclined to
accept as fair price. Before the sale
was made, however, he requested the
advice of the State forester as to the
amount and value of the timber. AS
"A result the State forester made. an
examination of the tract, estimated
the market value of the timber, and
furnished the owner a list of timber
operators who might be prospective
buyers. The timber was then public
lily advertised, with the result that the
man who had previously made the
.lS1,5O offer raised his bid to 81, oGO
and the sale was lnally made to an
other perosn for about $4,000. Only
hree months elapsed between the date
of the first ocer and the final sale
| Not only was the original offer in
creased by nearly 270 per cent, bu
the woodlot was also left in eXcellen
condition. This was accomplished b!
having hte trees to be cut selected ant
marked by the State forester with {
view to leaving the young growing
+. timber on the ground, together will
sufficient seed trees to restock tn
open places. The contract furthe
4 called for close utilization by cutting
the stumps low and using to smal
diameters in the tops, the looping o
a tops for cordwood, and the scatter
ing of the remaining brush.

SCARCITY OF SUGAR
IN NEW ZEALAND
(Consul General Alfred A. Winslow,
Auckland.)

(Consul General Alfred A. Winslow,
Auckland.)
There is a marked shortage of
sugar in New Zealand. Prices have
materially increased, and the future
is not promising, if one is to rely on
the press and the trade. The whole
sale price fixed by the food price
commission in New Zealand for the
best sugar for the period ending June
30, 1916, is s102.19 per ton, but this
does not prevent the grocer from
marking up retail prices. 1t is ex-
pected there will be marked ad-
vance in prices after June 80 next
The supply comes very largely
from the islands of the Pacific and
amounted in 1914 to 1855 long tons,
of which the United States supplied
4 tons. There is no preferential duty
on sugar, Grape sugar pays 2 cents
per pound plus per cent ad valorem
war tax, while all other sugar enters
free save the war tax of per cent.

Twenty-Five Permits Issue and
Other Work Contemplated
Awaits Arriving Supplies

Despite the prevailing complaints
as to scarcity and high costs of build
ing materials, there were filed in the
past week % permits for the erection
or improvement of buildings, the costs
of which will. reach $3S,225.
Early last week it was said by a
well known contractor that no ce-
ment was to be had in Honolulu, that
building operations were being de-
layed or held up for lack of materi-
ais and that contractors were laying
off men for lack of supplies to pro-
coed. The same contractor said the
first shipment of materials needed
for mixing of concrete would arrive
about July Is, consigned to Theo H.
Davies & Co. Later it was reported
that some cement arrived on the
Lurline.
In the face of such complaints the
showing made in building permits
must be considered as satisfactory.
It must be admitted that conditions
are lettering many from building or
improving buildings already erected
and it is apparent that were con-
ditions different the building trades
would be far buster than they are.
Some real estate agencies maintain
that the lack of building materials
is also holding back the realty mar
ket, and this again others deny and
point to transactions made or about
to eliminate. in proof of their asser'
ton. Purchases are being made and
in some instances with a view to
immediate or early improvement and
in other instances to secure desirable
properties for improvement later when
building conditions have improved.

Company it was said that the shelter
