A device for suppressing sound and smoke 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 1s 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 e.dges for hatching young fish is most ingenious. Taking e 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 Ma 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. York house, Twickenham, England, is now in the market, and will be sold at auction soon. It was named after James IIl., when duke of York, and in it were born two princesses, Mary and Anne, who both afterward became queens of England.

Gen Sickles, himself a great fighter, as attested by the leg he left on the battlefield at Gettysburg, has made a plea for war, as follows: “No death is more glorious than death for one’s country. “This nation was founded through war. “Ip the days we are unwilling to fight for our liberties we shall surely lose the respect of the world. “We have had wars since the world beyan. “Therefore we shall always have war.” Gen. Sickles thus makes a distinct issue with ‘that growing philosophy which regards war as a relic of bar- barism and which hopes for the time “when the war drum throbs no long- er and the battle flags are furled.” Let us take up the general’s argu- ment. It may be admitted that death for one,s country (when necessary, mind you) is glorious. But such necessi- ties have been few in the history of our race and they will become fewer. This nation was not founded through war. It was founded ina desire for peace. War was an inci-e dental. If we are to lose the world’s respect by refusing to fight at the call of the nuartial {spirit the world’s repsect is not worth keeping. To claim that because we have had wars since the world began and there- fore we will always have war is illogi- cal. It leaves out of account the fact that the world is growing better. 1b is to say there are no means save bloodshed and the waste of battie for the settiement of international differ- ences. No. The white palace built by Mr. Carnegie at The Hague is not an an- achronism. It is significant of the day when “nations shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruaing hooks.” when ‘‘na- tion shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” That day may be slow in coming, but more and more is motherhvod re- fusing to give the fruit of its womb to the shambles; more and more are the common"people who do the fight- ing becoming deaf to the shouting of the war lords; more and more are the nations appreciating the horrors of war and the blessings of peace.—St. Paul News.
