The Newest Thing in Guns.

Mounted on long, wooden, trough
shaped gun carriage, a singular looking
weapon was lying in the mud in the back
yard Of Mr.. j. r. Haskell, of Passaic, yes
terdsy. 1T might be an internal machine"
said the many who had curiously eyed it
from time to time, land it might be one of
the most wonderful pieces OF ordnance ever
invented" The owner and inventor, who
has spent fifteen years and 500, 900 in per-
fecting the gun, takes the latter view, and
asserts that his invention will revOluti0nize
the system of Offenslve armament. He calls
it an "accelerating gum" and it ls planned
on the novel principle of boosting the pro-
jectile along by secondary, tertiary, and
quaternary explosions after it has received
its first impetus by the explosion at the
breech.
The barrel is about twelve feet long and
is made of steel, tapering from the muzzle,
that is two or three inches thick to the
breech, which is a round piece of steel
three or four inches through. On the under
side of the barrel, at equal intervals. are
small brazen globes opening through mar.
row necks into the bore Of the barrel
These are designed to hold loose powder,
as they are charged through small holes in
the bottom, into which brass screws
are tightly fitted. The bore is made to &C.
commodate half-inch, finely tempered
steel .prcjectile. In firing the gun, the
chamber in the barrel is filled with powder,
and then the steel missile which is about
nine inches long, is pressed firmly against
the charge. The pockets are next charged,
ard the screws are replaced in their bases.
The nipple is at the base of the breecb, and
the first charge is fired by means of a cap
placed on the nipple. AS the pro-
jectile is shot forward, followed by a
stream OF fire, it ignites the powder in each
OF the pockets at the instant it passes
over the neck. It receives new impulse
by the explosion of each pocket of powder,
and it is at length shot from the muzzle
with an extraordinary velocity and power.
The amount Of powder that is expended ut
. single discharge, Mr.. Haskell says, is suf-
fcient. If it were Ill placed in the gun tube,
to All the gum to the muzzle and to blow the

To Mining and Mill Superinten-
dents:

The great and unparalleled success that has
been achieved by our Asbestos Non -Conduc-
tor for covering Steam Boilers and Pipes war
rant us in Offering it to you as the BEST AND
MOST DURABLE FELTING now existing.
This Company is the oldest and most exten-
sive in the United States, and by actual test
the Asbestos Felting has proven to be more
durable than any other covering extant. 1t is
strongly patented and any use of the word
Asbestos" in connection with any other felt
ing is an infringement. 1t contains the best non
conducting. and fre-proof ingredients known
70 science. Asbestos is mineral long known
10 chemistry as non infiamable and the most
positive retainer of heat in nature. Our pro-
cess consists in SO preparing Asbestos with
other fibrous and glutinous matter as to form
. strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use. It
10 less expensive than Hair Fel.ing and can
be applied at any time while the boilers are in
use. One covering VIII last in perfect order
as long as the boilers or pipes. By absolute
test
1T is KNOWN TO SAVE 25 TO 30 PER
CENT. IN FUEL.
1t is non-iniamable, indestructible and
perfect non-conductor of heat and cold. Its
iexibility causes it to contract and expand
with the iron surface, thus preventing ii
from cracking As it absorbs no moisture
and excludes the atmosphere the surface Of
boiler or pipe cannot corrode. 1t is applied
In plastic state upon hot surface with
facility and in a few hours becomes dry,
light, elastic and tensciously adhesive. I.
contains no lime or other corroding substance.
We challenge the world to produce a covering
to compete with ours in durability and saving
of fuel. We possess the sole knowledge and
proprietorship of this process, and would
caution all parties against worthless limitations

On ted success having started several worth
