WORLD'S DEADLIEST RIFLE.
The New Magazine Gun of United
States Army Superior to Any Oth
er Gun in Existence.
A new magazine infantry rifle, which
experts declare to he superior to any
other type in existence, has been, con
struetcd and adopted l>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.
As illustrating a difference In charac- ; '
teristics it is officially noted that twice
as many people in Scotland as in Ireland
choose togo to prison for minor offensea
rather than pay a fine. In Ireland thej i
paj the fine.
