How a Machine Gun Is Fired.

How machine gun is fired through
a revolving propeller is told in re-
cent issue of Aeronautics, in an article
describing the more important features
of two German Fokkers brought down
behind the lines in France. On these
monoplanes, according to the descrip-
ton, the machine gun is fired through
the propeller by means Of small lever
actuating Bowden wire. Provision
is further made to throw the machine
gun mechanism momentarily out OF
gear as each whirling propeller blade
comes into line with the muzzle. This
is done very simply by means of a
double cam fixed on the engine shaft
and acting on a system Of levers. The
French Morane, after which the FOX
ker type has been modelled, also fires
its machine gun through the tractor
screw.

HAS new RELIGION |
Japanese Millionaire Becomes a
Christian Convert.
Creates 4 Sensation by Seeking sap
tIsm at the Hands Of koJI,
4 Reformed Convict.

The Morimura Gumi, one Of the larg
est and oldest Japanese export houses
Of porcelain and curios, is especially
head, Baron Ichizayemon Morimura,
has for many years been propa-
gandist of temperance and undenom-
national Christianity. Like Mr.. Dwight
L. Moody in America, he and several
assistants have Travelled about Japan,
preaching to the people. He is one of
the earnest supporters Of the joint
church movement in Japan.
A sensation was created recently,
says New York correspondent, when
the baron sought baptism at the hands
Of Yoshitaro Koji, reformed convict
a perfect prototype Of the late Jerry
McAuley Of New York, founder of the
Oliver street and Cremorne missions.
Mr.. Koji Is an interesting personality.
BE was raised among criminals, and
served % years in prison, where he
earnestly studied Christianity and be-
came converted. When liberated sew
eral years ago, he at once set out as
q religious teacher, going among all
classes Of society-never obtruding his
personal views, but chiefly exhorting
to morality, self-sacrifice and humility.
He did not preach the doctrine Of
any particular denomination, but
based his creed upon Christ's Sermon
on the Mount" and the Lords Pray
er." He never has been recognized by
the Christian missionaries in Japan,
although many of them have shown
him respect. He hasn't any church Of
his own, but visits people to whom
he Is introduced, gains their friend
ship, and teaches them the broadest
features of Christianity. He makes
no distinction between Catholic and
Protestant. He has much respect for
true believers and practitioners of the
Mohammedan faith, especially extoll-
ing their temperate habits. He visit
ed Korea and Manchuria and walked
thousands of miles among the villages
far off the beaten tracks and rail-
ways.
Baron Morimura has for several
years shown peculiar interest in the
personality of this humble Christian,
and recently asked Exhortsr Kohl to
baptize him. Other members of the
Morimura family are Protestant
church members. The baron has or
ganized society to improve the moral
standard Of the younger Japanese gen.

movement and putting at Its head Wis
count DR.. Inajiro Tajiri, a famous
scholar. He is opposed to all charities

French Art.toerats In War.

Although France is a republic, the
French aristocracy has been as eager
in its war service as the British aris-
tocracy. The difference Is that, while
the British aristocrat is almost al
ways a commissioned officer, the ma
jority of the French counts and barons
are serving in the ranks. Two thou
sand one hundred and seventy-slx no.
bles have already written their names
on the roll Of honor. Among them are
Prince Louis Murat, descendant of
Napolean's marshal; the Due de
Rohan, who before his death had won
both the Croix de Guerre and the
Legion Of Honor, and the Comte de
Turenne, a descendant Of the famous
marshal Of France. The Comtesse
O'Gorman lost her life while working
as a Red Cross nurse, after having
been decorated with the Croix de
Guerre.-Dundee Advertiser.

LITTLE CHANGED SITUATION
Tobacco Harvest is Fast and Furious
Adjusting Damage

Favorable weather q reasonable por
ton of the time has FASTENED tobacco
harvest since the late frost, and we
are lead TO believe that today more
than two-thirds of the acreage is in
the sheds of growers.
The CENSOR'S last week estimate
of frost damage proves not to have
been materially inaccurate. Possibly
the loss is not quite as severe as re-
ported, A few fields in this territory
will pass as little injured and a great
er per cent of leaf will be saved than
first estimated, We reported fifty
per cent loss. Now we should say
thirty-three to forty per cent will COW
er ii.
Buyers and their representatives
have been riding the growing districts
making adjustments in prices and
counselling as to the harvest and flu
ture handling. So far as we can
learn there appears to prevail a de-
sire on part Of growers and buyers for
an equitable adjustment. One thing
is certain-that the 1917 crop, dam
aged as it is-will average more per
pound than any crop grown here the
past ten years

Vernon county today makes second

history of the world. They look for
