PERFECT FLASHLESS POWDER
United States Army Invention VIII
Permit of Night Firing Without
Illumination.

F1ashless gunpowder, making pos
sible night firing without illumination
VIII be demonstrated shortly at the an
nual meeting of the Army Ordnance
association at the Aberdeen proving
grounds.
Night firing with guns as large as
five inches, in which the muzzle was
barely visible to observers 80 feet
away, have been conducted with no
more than momentary dull red glow,
and no illumination whatever.
Other features Of the program
include the firing of the heaviest
single unit Of ordnance In the world
the recently perfected 15-inch Social
Der gun mounted on a disappearing
carriage. The gun measures SO feet,
In length weighs 100000 pounds, and
requires $50 pounds of smokeless pow
der to propel its 2,4O0-pound projec-
tile approximately % miles.
Although the gun weighs nearly
8O6 tons, 1t can be rotated 800 de-
grees and elevated or depressed ~
degrees by another. 1t is operative
at the rate of one shot per minute.
A new and enlarged Browning
rapid-fire gun of .50-caliber intended
for use against aircraft and tanks
will be demonstrated. The ammu-
milton used is twice as large as that
used In the World war and the rate
of firing has been greatly increased.

RUSSIAN FAMINE AREA
IS WIDELY EXTENDED
Intense Suffering Seen on 1000
Mile Trip Through Steppes
and Plains.

given. There is today and has been
as much food available in Samara, for
those who have money, as in Baku,
On the Caspian sea, 1000 miles dis
iant. The Russian refugees from
BoIshevism in Constantinople are suf-
fering from hunger and lack Of clothes
almost as much as those Russians in
Poltava, and they, In their turn, as
much as those in Orenburg.
An Associated Press correspondent

and Baku (port of Azerbaijan, on the
Caspian seal.
There revolution after revolution for
five. years has left a trail of destruc-
ton and ruined houses and wrecked
railway stations which cannot be
matched in Russia Added to the lack
of food, is the constant battle with
malaria, cholera and typhus.
Begging is rather the exception than
the rule everywhere in the famine re-
giOns
In the worst areas there is far more
hunger swelling than was seen in Vi
emma in the winter of 1918. This is
the last stage of starvation, and when
it comes neither food nor medicine will
help.
While there is perfect order in all
Russia, on every hand the individual
struggle for life, for daily food, is Bit
ter and hard. No one thinks of any
one else. Robbery is limited, as rob-
bers are shot when caught, but trick
cry in small trading is the rule.
A person invited to a meal will eat
twice what good manners would per-
nit. He is laying in stock of food,
building up his body, he figures, for
the winter cold Those with money
are boarding food. In some places
peasants refuse to sell bread at any
price. They are afraid Of the winter
famine

Gems Kicked About Street.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Diamond rings
worth $4,000, tied in linen handker-
chief were kicked about the streets
and trampled by residents of Taren-
tum two days before Joseph DeNanze
Of Tarentum picked up the hurdle in
Center street. The diamonds were lost
by Mrs Joseph Klein of Tarentrm one
Monday morning. when she was shop
rlng. The jewelry was turned over to
the owner by DeNanze. Mrs. Klein
had offered $500 reward.

scale, DR.. Robert Williams Wood OF
Johns-Hopkins had built practical
concave-mirror telescope on Long
Island by rotating basin of mercury
until the liquid metal shaped itself into
| the proper concavity. There are
limits to it's use, however, according
to astronomers, if the attempt is
made to build the abandoned mine tel
escope.
The greatest telescopes now in use
sometimes achieve a power of 5000
times as great as that of the unaided
vision. This is only when the state
of the atmosphere is at its best. Or
dinarily astronomers have to be con-
tent with much less, sometimes with
a magnihcation Of 200 or 800.
"The atmosphere fixes an outside
limit Of magnifcation said Dr. Frank
Schlessinger, director of the Yale OBJ
servatory. 'Limitless magnifying
powers could not be used. Telescopes
will probably be made larger than at
present for use on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations, but the
tendency is to lose in distinctness as
magnifying power increases. Event
ua]ly the object gazed on becomes
blur, as if seen through a heat haze.
Only through great instruments like
that at Mount Wilson, and then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified as much as 5000
times been seen with an unblurred
vision.
If Mars Were a Mile Away.
The mine telescope, If it met the
sanguine expectation of 1t projec-
tor, would magnify 25,OOOOOO times,
which would bring Mars OFFICIALLY with
in mile and half Of the earth. At
first thought this would seem to give
the astronomers a sight of Mars equiv
alent to that which an air pilot OBJ
tains of the earth as he flies a mile
and half above it. At that height
an airman could see cities, towns and
individual buildings, farms, orchards
and a thousand marks of the activity
of man. Under the same advantages
an astronomer would soon know all
about Mars, where the creations of in
telligent beings are believed to ex-
list on a much grander scale than on
earth
But here difficulty arises. The |
airman is unconscious of the rOta-
ton of the earth, because gravity pulls
the earth and air and the airplane
with uniform motion. On the other
hand, If Mars were brought within a
mile and half of the earth 1T would
be whirling so rapidly that the fea-
lures of the landscape would be lost |
to the eye, as are markings on the |
full speed.
If magnification of 25,00O,OOO |
times or anything like it could be ac-
the observer could only see
4 small patch of Mars Mars rotates
is 12,00O-mile circumference once in
/ little more than "a hours, so that
1t its equator it is making speed
# about ten miles minute, or about
i've times the speed Of a racing car.
I. the observers were content With see
ng Mars 10 miles off, the portion Wis
BILE to them would still be streaming
oast the. telescope at the rate Of
nile a minute.
A camera of instantaneous action
night take pictures at this speed on
arth, but 1t could not be made on
lars. A magnification Of 25,000,0OO
ines would mean that the light OF
lars would be diluted to one twenty
ive-millionth part of its brightness in
he sky, which would not be adequate
or rapid-fire photography or even for
rdinary vision

Huge Buck Deer /.
Attacks an Auto

Pittsfield, Mass With both

guards Of his automobile bent,
Walter G. Rochelle Of this city
says his car was attacked by a
great buck, estimated to weigh
400 pounds. Rochelle was pro-
ceeding toward Pittsfield when
he saw the herd Of deer in the
road. Four bucks and three
does jumped to one side, but the
leader snorted and, with horns
lowered, leaped at the auto,
which was going slowly. The
impact stopped the touring car
and stunned the buck.
