A murderous weapon.

EXPERIMENTS wIFH-A NEW REVOLVING CAN
| MONA TERRIBLE ENGINE OF DEATH.
"a special dispatch from Sandy Hook to
the New York Herald Of this morning rela-
tive to official experiments with the Hotch-
kiss revolving cannon gives description OF
the terrible engine and its workings that Is
very grimly interesting. The following is
description Of the new weapon: \ 1t con-
sists Of five barrels grouped around COM
mon axis and reyolved in front Of a solid
breech block which has in one part an
opening for the introduction OF the cart
ridges aud another through which to
extract the empty shell. Both operations
are accomplished at the same time, and as
the cartridges are fed to barrels on the same
principles as with the Calling gan, the fire
can be maintained continuously at the rate
of eighty per, minute, il necessary. J The
calibre Of the barrels is one and q half
inches, and the charges weigh three and q
half ounces, with a she'll weighing about one
and a.iuuarter pounds. The she'll ls ex-
ploded BY d ,percu ssi0n fuse, and bursts im-
,mediateIy ON striking any object it meets.
The 7barrels.are revoived by q crank,
which controls all the. mechanism OF
the gun, sorthat really q stream or snelis,
like water from q fire-hose, can be poured
On any given point with absolute, accuracy
and fearfuiiy destructive effect WITH scarce
more difficulty than; playing on a street or
can. Ia popularity iof the revolution otthe
barrels is that they stop to discharge, so'that
the accuracy OF the fire is not ,inI:any, way
impaired by continuation OF the revolution
at the moment the firing pin strikes the @eX-
ploding cap behind the charge. rali.st Z
judging of the gun, after this prell lllmllnary n
trial, which was con dncted with the utmost
care BY the ordnance officers, the Hotchklss
revolving cannon takes q high,rankl anon g

warfare. "a battery OF such guns, aoly

Miss Cushman was born in Boston,
Massachusetts, July %, 1916 In conse-
quence OF the bankruptcy OF her father
she was called upon at the age of twelve
to contribute to the tamily's support.
She was engaged to sing in concert
with Mrs. Wood, who declared her voice
to be the finest coEtralto she had ever
heard, and advised her to cultivate 1t
for the stage. She made her debut at
the fremont Thealer, Boston, April Is,
1885.
Procuring an engagement to sing in
English Opera in New Orleans, her voice
failed her under the effect or a sudden
change OF climate. She thenresolved to
become an actress, and studied the part
of "Lady Macbeth" In 1S45 she went to
and made her first appearance
at the Princess Theater as "Bianca," in
Milman's tragedy of "Fazio." In 1849
she revisited the United States, and In
addition to her ordinary characters as.
sumed that of "Meg Merrilies," in the
play of "Guy Mannering," a striking
which she may be said to
have created.
