PERFECT FLASHLESS POWDER j United States Army Indention -Will I Permit of Night Firing Without Illumination. Flashless gunpowder, making pos- I sible night firing without illumination, j will be demonstrated shortly at the an- i nual meeting of the Army Ordnance j association at tne ADerueen proving grounds. Night firing with guns as large as five inches, in whicli the muzzle was barely visible to observers 50 feet away, have been conducted with no more than a momentary dull red glow, and no illumination whatever. Other features of the program include the firing of the "heaviest single unit of ordnance in the world." the recently perfected 15-inch 50-cali ber gun mounted on a disappearing carriage. The gun measures (JO feet, in length weighs 240.000 pounds, and requires 850 pounds of smokeless powder to propel its 2.400-pound projectile approximately 22 miles. Although the gun weighs near]} 806 tons, it can be rotated 800 degrees and elevated or depressed 30 degrees by another. It is operative at the rate of one shot per minute. A new and enlarged Browning rapid-fire gun of .50-caliber^ intended for. use against aircraft and tanks will be demonstrated. The ammunition used is twice as large as that used in the World war and rhe rate of firing has been greatly increased. BORROWED A FIRE ENGINE Stranger Put Out Flames and Returned Apparatus, With Whole Force Hunting It. Sayviile.?Early one morning a fire alarm was turned in here and all the volunteers turned out in record time aud rushed to the firehouse. They were astonished to find the door open, and the apparatus missing. A searching party was formefl and scoured the fount ry. while the telephone wires were kept busy notifying surrounding towns to he on the watch for the boldpst gang of bandits to appear on the [ land. As morning came on the searching parties returned without a clue; and started for the firehouse to decide on a campaign. As they neared tne house, some one noticed the door was closed. Inside, the engine stood in its place, the tyose neatly, rolled. An unidentified man had been' driving a truck near West Sayville, when it caught fire. He ran the two miles to the' firehouse, but no one was about. He found the ioor unlocked, appropriated the apparatus, drove to his truck and extinguished the flames. He then took the engine home and shut the door, after which he went Ills way. The firemen itre satisfied with the explanation, but would like to know that man's name.
