R~ A. Minnie, the gentleman whose in
vention of the rife bullet has rendered his
name famous throughout the world, is said
to be no mere dabbler in the science to
which he has devoted himself. In his office
in Paris he has forge and all kinds of ar
morer's tools, and is almost constantly en-
ployed in experimental alterations of rifles,
or in testing the merits Of his numerous In
ventions. BY the latest improvement In
his celebrated weapon, though not yet
wholly complete, he has been able to hre
twenty ball cartridges from it in one MIN
ute. BY mere movement of the hand the
discharged gun is reloaded, its force being
terrific, though noisoless and carrying
tremendous distance.
