The Development (Contlnu

The flint lock — About i635 the modern fire lock or flint lock was invented. Originally a. flask was

of the Rifle ' I

der, but now the cartridge was bit- ten of.“ and the An filled before loading. The famous “Brown Bess" of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars was a flintlock. Its barrel was shortened. The first successful double guns were built with the barrels over and un- der. They were invented about, i616 by Bossi, an Italian,

The Percussion Principle -— The Obiections to the flintlocks were that the priming often got wet and scmetlmes the sparks didn't ignite the charge. In i807, Forsyth obtained a. patent for priming with a fulminating powder made [with chlorate of potash, sulphur. and charcoal. This mixture explo- ded on concussion. During the next thirty years it was developed more and more. Then the copper per- cussion cap was invented. It was not until the introduction of the copper cap that the percussion gun cculd be considered superior to the ilintlocks.

| The trend toward modern rifles- iThe modern breech loaders date back to i537. They were very dan- gerous then because they were not gas tight. and had no detonating cap. The bullet and powder were merely enclosed in a paper envel- ope. The earliest modern cartridge case was the Fin fire. It was pat- ented by Houillcr in 1847. It had a thin. weak shell, which expanded by the force of the explosion. A harnmerless gun was patented by Mulrot. in 187i. In i874. Needhain invented the ejectrr mechanism by which the empty cartridge case is auilrlttioally thrown out Those and other minor modifications heln to give U5 the great rifle we have today.

Leap Year Gives Calendar Reform New Prominence

BY JEAN THOMPSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Leap Year has romantic conno- tations for the fair sex. but with advocates of calendar reform it's a strictly mathematical mailer, an irregularity that makes ilie boast- ing of their favorite topic all the

more opportune-

. Thousands of vears before Christ the Egyptians in their sunny land ‘crigiriated a solar calendar of 365 1-4 days- The Romans used a solar calendar from which die civil cal- endar of nil European countries has bflen borroiyéd- The Rcxuans were not above juggling the months for political ends and by he time Julius Caesar bscame dictator a three- »month discrepancy existed between Ythe solar and the civil veal‘.

i Caesar did a repair lob on the system in 46 B.C. and named it the ‘Julian calendar after himself. Since then only one rearrangement has Pefin "Hide to brinS the calendar {Year into line with the. solar year. iPope Gregory XIII synchronized them in i582 by skipoing l0 days. EThis reformed calendar known as iGregorian is commonly used today.

But it is not, the only calendar in current use. The Hebrew calendar varies between l2 and l3 months Mohammedan time measurement is purely lunar and the Orient has systems of its own.

Now the World Calendar Associ- ation organized ln i930 has a scheme for making the dolly. weekly and monthly operation of the Gre- gorian calendar automatic. The plan is attracting much attention in this age of mechanical performance.

Its schema is to rearrange the number of days in eccn Gregorian month. Anniversaries would then fall on the same "lay of the sa.rne week every year and the some num- ber of business days in each morrih

etween corresponding periods successive years-

The World Calendar is based on. the 12-month solar rather than on‘ the 13-month lumm- year. Each, year begins on Sunday. January 1.

Each quarter contains three} months- ~13 weeks 9i days, begins. on Sunday and ends on Saturldayni The first month in each quarto;- has, 31 days. the other two 30 days] Month dates always fall on the same weekdays and each month. ha, 26 days pills Sundays.

The 365th day known as Year End Day and the 366th day in leap year will be world holidays called December W alid June W- -extra. days inserted at tlle end of their name months so as not to disturb- tha quarterly arrangement.

The inauguration of such a cal- endar would be easiest when it coincides with the Gregorian cal- endar. Saiturdajv, lxcember i944 and Sunday, July l. 1945 arc

ilon’t Unpack , Bess Too Soon

(nnperirnenfal Farm; New!) -. The amount of honey a colony 0f bee; can produce is usually pro- portionate to the -'tren_=;th of its

‘field force at the beginning of main l

flow of nectar from the clover-s Given equal conditions s: flora and weather the more PODulous the col- ony the greater ihe crop of honey and wax, says C. B. Gooderham Dominion Aplarist. Dominion perlmentai Farm, Ottawa

The bees that will Either the harvest are produced during the , spring and early summer The sprint’. , brood rearing period is important in the economic life of ‘the colony. Corning at a time when the winter 1 food supply may be near exhaustion, ' and the vitality of the bees at its lowest point it is ‘mberatlve that the beekeeper render the colony every assistance possible so that maxfmum brood raring may be established early and maintained throughout, the entire period Four factors are essential to Ihis condit- ion, (l) a prolific queen: (i!) abund- ance food; ‘or sufficient room for expansion of the brood nest and (4) adequate protection.

Assuming that the bees were 9Y0- perly prepared for the winter, all of those factors will no douii: be Pfe- sent, but; it l5 wise ro check the first two as soon as possible in the spring for the unforeseen may easily occur. ‘Those who Ilnfer their bees outside may be tfiflllifd i0 "mm/e the winter protection too early in order to facilitate the clleckins nil

.

before warm weather is‘ asslred: it is maximum brood production that. is required. The queen can only eX-

u-e bees to cover and care for it. In a

than in an unprotected one.

While the colony is still in its winter case the brood nest may be considerably larger than the bees could cover if the case was removed too early and tile colony suddenly gxpgged to the changeable weather of early spring. the result would be a contraction of the cluster of bees, chilling and death of the cuter rim of brood, curtailment of brood pro- duction arid weaker colonies for the harvest. Do not remove outdoor wlntered bees from their cases “Iii-ii settled, warm weather is assured.
