A device for suppressing sound and emoke has been provided for the ordi- nary rifle by a French soldier. It con- sists essentially of a steel tube about thirty inches long, with several parti- tions having orifices slightly larger than the bore of a gun, and this tube is attached in the front of the muzzle of a bayonet clasp whenever its use is desired. On firing the gun the gases are retarded by each partition in turn, finally escaping without sound or smoke, With a knife at the end the auxiliary tube can be made to serve as a bayonet. Chinese Fish Hatcheries. Those ever-ingenious people, the Chi- nese, are great at fish farming, and one of their little avdges for hatching young fish is most ingenious. Taking ‘a fresh egg they suck the contents through a tiny hole and refill the egg with the tiny eggs of the fish they want to hatch.~ The hole is then sealed up and the egg placed under a sitting hen. In a very few days the fish ova are so far advanced that one has only to break the shell into mod- erately warm water and the little fish spring to life at once. Historic House to Be Sold.
