Cun That Makea No Nolsa. Ther. I* aurely a terrible responsibility resting to-day upon the shoulders nl Hiram Percy Maxim, the son of the 1'. enter of the machine gun. 80 writes P. Harrey Middleton In the Technical World Magazine. For he has patented a gun which will kill man with no more noise than the hissing of a snake. Armed with this allent weapon a murderer could shoot down his victim without attracting the least attention, and only on examination would the cause of desth be revealed. On the other hand a single policeman using the noiseless gun could disable every member c gang of burglars before they recovered from their surprise. It is an Invention which may lead to the equipment of the armed forces of the world, and the revolutionizing of modem methods of warfare—will perhaps even hasten the happy day when there will be no war. for the very best safeguard against war Is the invention of weapons of such terrible power that armies will never dare to stand against each other. "War," said Bismarck. -Is the greatest enemy of war. and will eventually put war out of existence.** In the next great war skirmishers may use noiseless rifles, enabling them to creep along an enemy's front and shoot down unsuspecting pickets one after another, and not until their dead bodies were discovered would the alarm be given. The extended front of a whole army, concealed In the underbrush or behind rocks, could work terrible havoc among the opposing forces before position coul<| be located. To the big game hunter the silent firearm will open up new horizons.

Perch Fishing. And tbe other Ashing days when you got up before dawn and stole down-stairs to the dim kitchen, drink of milk, a doughnut, and a angle of pie, then you stole out quietly to the bam and got the spadlbg-fork. Then the search, armed with fork and tomato-can. under the broad leaves of the rhubarb bed. back of the henhouse and down by tbe cow bam. until had enough worms for the day’s sport Then, of coarse, yon left the ■ticking In the ground—yon z would leajgi to put things swaystarted off. Through the garden and orchard, stopping long enough for handful of currants and a pocketful of sopsyvlnes—over the pasture bar*, eating a handful ot huckleberries or low-bush blackberries here and there. Into the wood road—very dark and still In the dawn—where yon stepped along very quietly so as not to disturb tbe bears. You knew perfectly well there were no bears, writes a contributor of the Atlantic, but you n enjoyed tbe creepy sensation. Then out through the deep wet met grass to tbe river, where tbe sun now beginning to bum away the wisps of mist, and the red-winged blackbirds were making a tremendous fuss « their housekeeping. Ton reached river bank at the pout hole, or the big rock, or the old willow (of course, you know tbe exact place), and then yon started Ashing.

It took one week and half a day for a Chicago Journalist to go from Chicago to New York Uy trolley car.
