Kodol Gui ( y the ordnance j department of the United States army. | Nearly 100,000 of the new weapons have already been made in the govern j ment arsenals, and the entire infantry service will soon bo equipped with ' them. The most notable difference ap | parent at. first glance between the old ! and the new arm is the afct. that the barrel of the latter is entirely covered : with wood. This innovation was the THE NEW RIFLE. ; result of suggestions made the ord nance officers by the enlisted men of j tthe army. The new gun is several inches long er than the old. The magazine has a capacity of five cartridges, and can be i filled with ease and quickness. When fully assembled, the gun weighs a I little more than eight pounds, and ac cording to the ordnance experts, is ex j septionally well balanced, insuring ease »112 discharge, and facilitating accuracy j of aim.—Technical eview. WHAT MAKES SKY BLUE? Theories Advanced by Scientists as to Its Reflection of and Its Color. The sky has long been a puzzle to physicists. There are two mysteries to explain about it —its reflection of light and its color. The old view was that the blue of the sky was due simply to atmospheric oxygen. Oxy gen has a faint blue tint, and the idea was that several miles of the gas, even | when diluted as it is in the air, would have a bright blue color. But this did not account for the intense illumina tion of the sky. and of recent years Tyndall's "dust theory," or some modi fication of it, has been generally ac cepted. This regards the blue color as an optical effect, like the color of very thin smoke, due to excessively fine particles floating in the air, which would also account for the large pro portion of reflected light from the sky. Recent calculations by Prof. Spring, of Liege, Belgium, however, indicate that the dust in the air is not sufficient in amount, nor finely enough divided, to support this explanation, and he re jects it for this and other reasons. He has gone back to the old blue oxygen theory, and accounts for the general illumination of the sky on the hypothesis, first advanced by Hagen bach, that intermingled layers of dif ferent density in the atmosphere give it the power of reflecting light.—Suc cess. Dead Leaves Turned Into Soil. That the process of decay by which the rich forest mold is formed from fallen leaves is brought about by the vegetable action of certain fungi lvas been demonstrated recently by C. J. Koning, a Dutch botanist. He has studied especially the action of two species. One begins its work even be fore the leaves have fallen, appearing on them when they are still attached to the trees. It then grows actively, hastening the process of decay, and by so doing produces the well-known odor of fresh earth, which has been attributed by various investigators to other substances. When cold weather comes on, however, this fungus ceases its work, which is taken up by an other species that flourishes only in the soil itself and never attacks the living leaf. It is probable that other fungi cooperate with these in soil formation, and that various species of bacteria also play their part.—'Success. How High Can Whales SpoutP R<*ent photographs of spouting whales give a means of measuring with some accuracy the height to which the water Is thrown. This ap pears to be much less thitn it has obten been supposed to be. Dr. G. M. Allen shows that even the great sul phur-bottom whale, on the average, spouts to a height of only 14 feet, al though occasionally the height may he iu> much as 20 t«eU ! FOR AMATEUR EXPERIMENTS A Hoine-Made Wireless Signaling Transmitter That Will Be Instructive. In a recent issue of the Scientific Amer ican an account was given of two home made wireless telegraph receivers; in connection with these it may prove in teresting to your readers who are desir ous of making their own experimental apparatus, to describe an exceedingly simple form of wireless transmitter, says A. Frederick Collins. In sending wireless signals the essen tial factor is a disruptive discharge or spark, and this should take place be tween the ends of two wires, one of •few \)j' 'jl j;,:, V CHARGING LID OFELECTROPHORUS which projects vertically upward in the air. and the other is connected with the earth; or if the signals are to be sent over a short distance, say 15 or 20 feet in a room, the latter wire may be connected to a bit of tin or copper plate and merely allowed to rest on the floor. The simplest way to obtain an electric spark is by means of an apparatus called an electrophorus, an instrument for generating static electricity by induc tion. This little device is usually made of a flat disk of resin on which rests a metal disk having an insulating handle of glass or vulcanite. Our illustrations show (dearly the tin or brass plate and resinous disks; and although the former is placed on the lat ter, their surfaces touch each other in only a few places, since the air forms a thin insulating film which practically separates them. To construct an electrophorus. it is only necessary to fill a shallow tin pan— | a pie-tin answers admirably—with a mixture of resin, Venice turpentine and j shellac in equal parts. When these sub- I tances are heated to the melting point, I they should be carefully done so as to j PRODUCING SPARK IN THE AN TENNA. prevent the formation of air bubbles. If the turpentine is not readily obtainable, it may be dispensed with. Care must be taken in either case that the mixture does not take fire. When the mass has cooled it will become hard and brittle, and it will then be ready for use. This constitutes the sole of the device. A lid may be made by obtaining from the tin ners a disk of tin cut half an inch smaller all around than the resin sole. A stick of sealing wax forms a good handle. The lid may be made of a disk of wood cov ered with tinfoil, and a handle may be made by attaching to the center of the wood a heavy piece of wire covered with j rubber tubing. Either of the former makes a satisfactory lid. Used as a wireless telegraph transmit- 1 ter. the aerial or suspended wire should be attached to the metal plate of the lid j in such a manner that when the plate is charged, the wire will not touch the sole. The wire leading to the earth or metal 1 plate on the floor should have its upper end attached to a table, wall, or any con- i venient place, so that the charged lid 1 carrying the aerial wire may be held closely to it, when a spark will pass be- j t ween the edge of the tin disk and the end of the lower wire, as shown in one of our views. There will then be set up in it and the aerial wire a series of strong electric oscillations, the energy j of which will be damped out in the form of electric waves. In order to charge the metal plate, the ! resin disk must first be excited by whisk ing or rubbing it with a piece of hot flan- j nel or a silk pad. After the resin is well 1 rubbed, the tin lid is placed upon it for a few seconds, and the finger occasion- j ally touching it as shown. Now, on lifting the lid, If the knuckle i , or wire leading to the earth or floor is j ! presented to it, a spark will pass, show ing that the plate was charged. If a re- ; celver, such as either of those referred to, is set up at a little distance, even though the walls of a room or two intervene be tween it and the electrophorus transmit ter, the instant the spark passes a char acteristic click is heard in the telephone receiver. In order to repeat the process, the lid ; will need to be recharged, and this will require merely the placing of it on the resin sole and removing it again, al though the plate will have to be freshly excited occasionally if energetic sparks are to be produced. It will be readily | seen that the electrophorus is in fe« j simple a miniature electric machine. Racial Characteristics.
