The cartridges are just the same as
 those used in the rifle, and they are sent forth from the muzzle at the rate of 400 to 1000 shots per minute. The
 motive power of the machinery is the explosion. The first shot that goes off gives the force that fires the second, and the second the force for the third, and so on. It must work exactly, for the operations are performed in the fraction of a second or in the splitting again and again of watch tick Every shot in the stream of lead has to give the force which brings the next cart ridge into place and to move the spring which fires it and in turn starts an- other. In some kinds of machine guns the force is the kick or recoil of the explosion, and in others it is the gas which flies back through tiny hole in the barrel, working a piston just like the gas in the cylinder of an automo- bile The wonderful thing about it is that it does this at the rate of hun dreds of times to the minute and that the same gun will keep up this action for thousands of times without missing fire In the heavy Browning which I shot there was no perceptible kick. The tripod remained perfectly steady, and my arm was not jared. In this respect the light Browning Is some what different, and for that reason it

is fired from the hip. The gun may be used also from an airplane, and 1t can be speeded up to 1000 shots per minute.
 The speed with which the bullets fly forth from the heavy machine guns causes an enormous friction, and the barrel would be red hot in a minute if there were not some means of keep ing it cool. For this reason there is a tube containing water around the bar rel of the heavy Browning. It is known as the water jacket, and it holds seven and one-half pints. After the first 500 cartridges the water is boiling, and every 1000 shorts there after causes the evaporation of one pint of water. The guns can be shot --s long as the water is kept in the !acket. The cartridges are fed to the gun in T belt of cotton through which they are stuck much like pins in a paper. There are 250 cartridges in each belt, and the gun automatically moves them. sf cos- ing out the bullets as long as you press the trigger. It takes but an instant to start in new belt, and the shoot ing can go on as long as the supply of cartridges lasts.

 despair of making you see the enor- nous work now going on in the big mu- nittons plants of this country. The army of machinists is numbered by hundreds of thousands, and I doubt not that we have at least one man or woman making guns and explosives for every 10 men we have in the cantonments and behind the trenches on the battlefelds of France. This factory will soon has as many me- chanical soldiers at work as there are actual soldiers in an army division It has single shops which cover acres and each of which if it were off by itself would be considered a large industrial establishment. There are some acres of room devoted to the making of bayonets,

along a board fence, cutting the boards like a buzz saw, or you could swing it around and cut out patterns of fretwork You can mount 1t in an airplane and make it rain death on the enemy.
 The working of this machine gun is almost perfection. The one l fired was the first Browning ever made with machine tools It was tested on March 10, when it fired only one shot and then stopped. It was then taken away and the defect discovered and reme- died. Two days later it was tested again, and since that time it has shot 6394 cartridges including the 500 l shot today without one single misfire. These shots were made by large number of different people who have visited the factory to test the gun. l understand that the same percentage of efficiency has been shown in the other Brown ings so far made. In the government tests one gun fired 20,000 shots in AS minutes and 16 seconds.
 This gun was the heavy Browning. It weighed about 34 pounds when ready for action, and with the tripod a little less than 50 pounds, so that it can be easily moved about from place to place by couple of soldiers. It is water

Ho thereupon picked up cartridge, and used the bullet end somewhat like an awl This enabled him to loosen one part of the combination. and in less than 60 seconds by my watch he had all of the pieces, including the springs and other delicate bits of machinery, lying before him on the table. It took him only a little longer to put the parts back into place and have the gun ready for firing. Think of taking watch apart with your fingers and putting 1t together again so that every bit of the mechanism fits and tho watch goes on working. That is what the ordinary soldier can do with a Browning machine gun after short course of instruction. It is possible also to unscrew the barrel of the gun and put in another. The parts of eacli
