y
knew before the war and which th
Apace. did not know was the part the
- nutehine guns would play in the strug
gee, Therefore the Germans !hail

ou the front as their enemies, and the
mae111310 guns dill more for their early
50041058es than the famous howitzers
which battered dower the Belgian forts
j In the early days of their advance.
Fortunately, machine guns were ea3-
ily made; the Allies learned the les-
son, and now are supposed to have
as many machine guns, If not more,
than Germany. Perhaps the bravest
men in the German army are the nta-
chine gunners. Whether loading an
advance or defending a retreat they
'are a veritable forlorn hope, and time
and time again inatancee have been
reported of German machine gunners
refusing to surrender evert though
they saw certain death awaiting them.
They are as savage as they are des-
perate, and have been known again
and again to turn their fire on their
own wounded, and also to sweep with
murderous blasts those of their' com-
rades who held their halide up shout-
ing "kamarad."
The Early Mitrsflleuses,
In La Revue des Deux Mendes Cap-
tain Henri Caere, of the French army,
had written an article upon German
and French machine guns, which is
translated in Current History. He
points out that the mitrailleus0,
which is the common name of the ma-
chete gun in Franco, is really a mis-
nomer, because the word designates
grape shot, by which was meant the
scraps of iron with which cannon were
formerly charged. The first weapon
with several barrels -and it was
from a multi -barreled weapon that
the machine gun Was evolved—was
thought of in the fourteenth century,
and was mads by the simple expedi-
ent of fastening several light guns to-
gether parallel to each other. It was
not until the nineteenth century,
however, that any marked progress
was made along this line, and then by
a Belgian, who devised a weapon of
fifty barrels, each about the size of a
rifle barrel, assembled parallel to each
other in a prismatic bundle. This gun
could fire one hundred bullets a
minute, and its range wee about a

Things to Remember.1 Bread not thoroughly baked is very
indigestible,
Corn bread with raisins in it is an
agreeable change.
Remove rust front garments by
boiling in cream of tartar water.
Keep the fat hot if you would have
the whites of fried eggs fluffy.
IHousehold refuse is better cremated
than disposed of in any other way.
Save candle ends and melt together
to use as paraffin covers for jelly.
1 Raisins will be easy to stone if they
stand in hot wated a minute or two
before stoning.
Economical frying is possible only
I when the frit is carefully saved after
I use.
Whenever soup is an important
part of a meal, as a luncheon, it
should be thick and nourishing,
Brown bread can be used for bread
pudding ,just as white can, but it
should be flavored with spices.
Stale bread will make good hot
cakes if it is soaked soft in milk and
merle up as you would muffins.
If the cookies are not very rich,
cut them in animal shapes and the
children will be just as well pleased,
Plain boiled rice, liberally sprink-
led with raisins and served with
hard sauce, makes a nourishing des-
sert.

Maxine the Real Inventor,
The next step was the invention of
the Gatling gun, with six or ten bar-
rels, a crank turned by hand provid-
ing the motive power, and another
development was the so-called "bullet
cannon" of France, a bundle of 25
barrels containing twenty-five cart-
ridges and capable of discharging 160
bullets a minute to a range of a mile
and a half. None of the weapons
mentioned was automatic. All were
operated by hand power. The honor
of inventing the modern machine gun
must bo awarded to Sir Hiram Maxim,
who produced his first practicable
model in 1882 after having spent a
tremendous sum in experiments. All
modern machine guns have taken the
Maxim as a model, The French army
has three types of machine gun, and
It is that called the Saint -Etienne that
Capt. Carre describes. The power to
explode the bullets and move the
cartridge -belt is obtained by drawing
gas from the barrel through a hole
4,8 millimetres in diameter, the gas
entering a cylinder called the gas
ehamber and later escaping to the air
by appropriate apertures. The piston
at the end of its movement is driven
back by 0 spring. It is a to-and-fro
movement, which brings about the
complete action of the weapon. It can
be fired at any rate, either at rapid
fire or at a speed regulated be• a epe-

In one notable respect does this gun
differ from the popular German ma-;
chine gun. it has no water -jacket for 11
cooling purposes, with the result that !
the barrel gets exceedingly hot when 1
fired at a high rate. But since the.I

gun are not impaired even when the)

zerland or one be held in which Switzerland would take part, the two men
pictured above will play prominent Parts. Mr, Schultheee, President of
Switzerland, has just affirmed the intention of his country to maintain

At the front it is carried by soldiers,
The barrel of the German gun Is
o'.;rrounded by a metal sleeve filled
with water for cooling purposes; but
when the gun becomes hot the water
begins to boil, steam escapes, and the
aim of the gunner is obscured. The
steam also betrays the presence of the
gun, and Capt. Carre says that on
many occasions the Germans have
eought to draw away enemy fire by
generating steam by moans of damp
grass to imitate the boiling machine
gun. The German gun can fire 400
shots a minute. It can be carried
either on a man's back, or by cart or
automobile. It is not, packed by
horses or mules, Capt. Carre says
that in the German Mercedes auto-
mobiles manufactured in time of
peace there were certain nuts fixed in
the chasis, the purpose of which no-
body could explain. rt has been
learned since that the cars were con-
structed so that they might be fitted
with Maxim guns.
How the Bullets Fly,
It is probable that of all the various
models of machine gun now being
used at the front one does not stand
out. One excels in one point; one in
another. For instance, the cooling
jacket of the German gun, as said,
discloses its presence when the gun
gets hot. One fires faster than an-
other, but after a certain point this
expert says, nothing is gained by ex-
treme speed, since there is rarely jus-
tification for firing for more than a
minute at one target. Theoretically
a weapon on a fixed support should
send all its shots along the same path.
In practice this is not so, because of
the concussions of the gun. Each
bullet takes its own curve, and the
ensemble makes a sheaf, closely pack-
ed but very narrow, which is properly
compared to the stream of water dis-
charged from a hose. In the mowing
fire, which is the normal fire, a cer-
tain number of sheaves is juxtaposed
along the whole front of the objee- .
tive. From this it results that at the
paint at which they strike the earth,
the density of bullets is terrible, and t
an extraordinary effect of destruction
on unsheltered men is produced.
