AWES ARMY MEN TESTS SHOW POSSIBILITIES OF SHOOTING WITHOUT NOISE. Inaudible at 150 Feet Appliance At tached to Service Kiflc Meets Suc cessfully Every Trial. At Springfield, Mass., in the pre sence of a committee of United States Army officers, Hiram Percy (Maxim, the veteran inventor. Mon day demonstrated beyond all doubt that the noisless gun which he has contrived is a success. He proved during the tests held both in the Armory aud in the fields near North Wilbraham that his new gun can be fired within one hundred feet, of a person without detection by him. To make clear to the minds of the officers the tremendous revolution which this gun would cause in war fare, Maxim utilized a little cricket which was found in a bush. The of ficers could hear the cricket chirp at a distance of fifty yards. And they heard it chirp even when the Maxim gun was being fired. Those present at the test, which was the official Government one, were Mr. -Maxim, Major Morton, Captain Allen, Lieutenant Meals, Henry Southey, city engineer of Hartford. Conn., and six enlisted men. The party went to the Armory, where tests for penetration, uoise lessnessand accurrracywere conduct led. One of the soldiers, a crackshot with the rifle, fired the regular army gun several times, the explosions ringing out above the noises of th? I factory where Uncle Sam makes small arms. Then Maxim adjusted aia "noise-killer" to the weapon. I The sharpshooter took aim at a 'taTget far down the yard and pulled 'the trigger. From the white plate. I more than a hundred yards away, ? there came a sharp, metallic ring. The bullet had ploughed into the steel?but not a sound excepting a soft one. as of fingers snapping, came from the gun. Then, slowly, a slight hissing, so slight as to be hardly audible, was heard, and the officers looked at one another in bewilderment. The sold ier who did the firing looked at the weapon in his hands and held it from him an. Instant, then laughed in- a childish way. The Party adjourned to the fields. Forty regulation cartridges were given to the marksman. The officers posted themselves 2,000 yards from where the sharpshooter stood, and he was given the word to fire. Me thodically he sped bullet after bul let into a distant target, each time the service gun emitting a roar that was audible 6,000 feet away, in the village. After Maxim adjusted the "noise killer." the soldier fired again, and eight times he hit the target. All the time the officers were coming closer to him. They could hear the steel projectile smash against the target, but nothing else. Finally, when within 150 feet of the soldier, they heard a faint sound. It was the hammer of the gun striking the cartridge. Mut they heard nothing more, nor did they see either smoke or fire coming from the weapon. Not contented. Maxim invited the experts to the lake near North Wil braham. One of the soldiers was posted across the water, five hun dred yards distant. A target was erected near a little booth be occu pied. Eight times he heard the steel jacketed bullet plunge into and flat ten on the disc, but he heard no other sound, although the place is a wilder less and even the low murmurs of he town do not penetrate it. The officers made calculations and igree that the gun is seventy-four ler, cent noiseless. It was a moody, cogitating group that returned to the amory late that day. The men bore no air of triumph. Each pro bably was thinking of the dreadful possibilities shut up in that little! secret device which had been adjust-! ed to the ordinary service gun. An idea o' the severity qf the J tests may. be gained from the fact' that forty grains of smokeless powder were used in each cartridge, a charge \ capable of hurling a bullet more than 1,500 yards with fatal results. I HOT TIMES IX ANDERSON. Popcorn Popped by the Excessive Heat While on Stalk in Field. Manager F. W. Andrews, of the Western Union Telegraph company, has left at" this office an ear of pop corn on which there are- a dozen or more grains which have been popped on the stalk during (he excessive heat of the past few days. There are several ears of the corn in his field which show the popped grains, and much interest nas been manifested' by those who nave seen it. I It has often been said by those who suffered most from heat that it sometimes get hot enough to cook an egg in th? sand, but a less heat is necessary for this than for the pop ping of corn, and it is doubtful if those who make such assertions themselves believe that they are founded on truth. There is no one who can fully explain why the corn is popped, and those who see it are puzzled. The best explanation possibly is given by Mr. Andrews himself, who says he believes the popping of the corn was brought about by steam. In a number of the ears the cob ex tends out of the shuck "and on the end there are fully matured grains, showing the corn to be of a very hardy variety. Mr. Andrews says it is h'S opinion that water has gone down info the shuck through the open end, and that the steam formed by the excessive heat has brought about the change in the corn.?Anderson Mail._?
