Fires 300 Shots a Minute.
A new weapon has been provided for
the United States army which is far
moro efficient than any heretofore
adopted. It was invented and Is used
by the French military authorities, and
already nearly one hundred have beon
purchased by the United States. The
new gun, which Is described in the
June Popular Mechanics magazine,
weighs but 35 pounds and can easily
be carried by a soldier. Two men are
required to operate It,- both of whom
lie flat on the ground, presenting a
small mark to the enemy. One man
feeds the cartridges Into the breech ot
tho gun In clips of 25 each, while the
other aims the weapon and directs the
firing mechanism. The gun will fire
separate shots or will operate auto
matically, In. which cuBe 300 shots
may be fired per minute. At long
range a nurd Boiaier ascertains tne
range by the use of binoculars and re
ports the effect ot the bullets.

Sound Beyond Machines.
There Is one sound of the human
speech which it Is practically Impossi
ble to perfectly reproduce by mechan
ical means. It ts the Bound ot the
letter "s." Neither the telephone nor
the phonograph renders it properly.
Lord Rayleigh, an English physicist,
was the first to observe this and to
subject the phenomenon to scientific
investigation.
lie found that to produce the sound
" the muscles of the mouth must
exert only a slight pressure upon the
air, but at the same time tho breath
must be projected with such force as
to produce not less than 1,000 Vibra
tions of the air waves per second.
This is a higher number than In
the case of any other sound of the
human speech.

Washington, D. C President Wil
son, through Secretary Bryan, has noti
fied the Sonuto Foreign Relations Com
mittee be wishes to press for ratifica
tion before adjournment of this ses
ilon of Congress the new peace treaties
sinned with 20 foreign powers.
The President's plan was communi
cated la a statement to members of
the committee by Secretary Bryan.
Copies 'will bo sent to every Senator
when the trentios are submitted for
ratification this week.
In his statement Secretary Bryan set
forth the following analysis of the gen
eral purposes of the treaties:
"Thut investigation shall be resorted
to In all cases where tho ordinary re
sources of dlplomsry fall.
"That the contracting parties reserva
tho right to act Independently on tha
subject matter after the submission of
ths report.
"That there shall bo no appeal to
force until tho Investigation is com
pleted. "That the commission (In esch case)
be composed of five members, one
chosen from ench country from anion
Its own citizens, one chosen by each
country from another country, and the
fifth to be chosen by agreement of the
two countries from some third country.
In a few cases provision Is made for
the appointment ot the fifth member
by the four members or by some
neutral power or tribunal in case the
two countries cannot agree."
Bryan Gives Reasons.
Discussing tho proposed treaties.
Secretary Bryan said:
"In most of our treaties there are
certain exceptions and in most of these
treaties the exceptions are: 'The vital
Interests, the independence and honor
of the two countries and the Interests
of third parties.' It Is evident that
these arbitration treaties do not pre
vent recourse to hostilities with regnrd
to the causes Included in the excep
tion clause. It Is the intention that
tho treaties now bolng exchanged shall
close this gap and leave no cause for
a declaration of war and the beginning
of hostilities until thero has been an
Investigation of the differences. It is
believed an investigation will not only
glvo time for the subsidence ot passion
and the restoration of calm and de
liberate judgmont, but that it will also
be useful In separating questions ot
tact and questions of honor."
Treaties already have been signed
