Periscope for Machine Guns

To add to the deadliness of the machine
gun, a mount has been invented which en-
ables the gunners to operate in complete
concealment. The mount will take any
machine gun used in our army-the Benet
Mercier, Colt, Louis, Maxim and Vickers.
1t weighs $50 pounds and may be disas-
sembled and carried off by five men in units
not weighing over IS pounds. 1t consists
of tripod stand with swivel head ON which
is mounted bracket that carries the gun.
BY means of worm gear the head of the
mount is swivelled to train the gun upon
the target. The bracket that carries the gun
is hinged to the swivel head, and it may be
tipped forward or to the rear by means OF
nuts, engaging a pair of threaded rods.
These nuts are turned by handwheel
which furnishes accurate control of the ele-
walton of the gun. The gun is not mount
ed directly upon the bracket, but is carried
in cradle that slides up and down the
bracket under control of a nut and screw
gear.
By means of pair of mirrors the gunner:
can sight the piece from position con.
siderably below the cradle, so that he i:
safe from the rifle or machine-gun fire Of
the enemy. A picture shows three OF :
number of applications of the mount. TIL,
most useful service undoubtedly is in thu
trench where the operator could be reached
only by we'll directed shell-fre. In a cit!
battle in which machine guns are postet
upon roofs of houses the mount may swini
forward to direct fire over the parapet with
out exposing the gunner. One of the pic
lures show how lone gunner could operat
in pit against aircrafts. In this case h
would have to dispense with the periscopi
attachment.-Ec.

Days

Days are said to resemble the hairs of our
head to the extent of being numbered. The
only other resemblance is that they get sticky
in hot weather. Days are still within the
reach of all and no costlier than heretofor,
but big nights always did come high. The
present day is the only one of any real use,
but as we look about US we see that it is the
least valued. This proves that humans are
somehow superior creatures to the brutes.
The weather is the garment of the day and
most of us take a neat dresser. But days
are something like people and occasionally
one whose personal appearance might be
improved is yet able to make us happy.
