One Hundred Shots in II "a Seconds.
New York Sun.

keep your powder dry" said Maj
Gen. Hancock yesterday afternoon on
Governors Island, while a man was
pouring pail of water into the pocket
of duplex field magazine gun which
was about to be experimental upon.
The water was simply to keep the gun
barrels cool while firing rapidly. 1t
was the first time that the General had
seen the gun. Surrounding the General
stood Lieutenant Commander Gorringe,
Gen. Johnston of Alabama, Col. John
Bodine and Judge Gildersleeve, of the
American rifle team, the Rev. O. B.
rockingham and William Beecher,
ex Senator w. w. Eaton, Of Connecti-
cut, and nearly one hundred other
gentlemen, who had been invited to see
the gun work.
The gun was composed of two bar
rels inclosed in water pocket. By
simple and strong mechanism at the
breech, assisted by feeder, the piece
first fired 200 ordinary United States
cartridges of 45.calibre in twenty. five
seconds One hundred were then fired
for speed, and the hundred bullets were
sent into target in eleven and three
quarter seconds. Then 500 shots were
fired in one minute and ten seconds.
ct would be just the thing to NOV
down storming party" said Gen.
Hancock, "if they should get into such
place as this" The place was a
large open space between the outer
wall of the fort and the sea wall.
The gun weighs al pounds; with
carriage 571 The one tried vaater-
day had been discharged upward Of
$1,000 times without tn least tinker
ing. 1t was the belief of all present
that it would prove q very effective
weapon in the field.

A Picture that Lied.

A comical matter has been made
public in Montreal by some legal pro-
ceedings. A retired major of the Brit
ish army had four daughters who
moved in good society in that city.
They all entered into correspondence
with a retired clergyman of London,
whose mind was somewhat enfeebled,
but who enjoyed an income of S15,-
600. The letters became sentimental
all round, and at length the man pro-
posed marriage. But which of the four
should he take? He had never seen
any of them, and it was arranged that
each should send photograph to guide
him in his choice. Now, the eldest was
widow of 40, and, therefore, the youn-
ger and prettier ones were astounded
when the decision was promptly an
nounced that their sister was to be the
bride. The truth was that she had
employed an artist to remove the hard
lines and otherwise beautify the pic
ture. But this trick did not help her.
When she went to London and present
ed herself to the clergyman he could
see no likeness between her and the
fraudulent portrait, and refused to mar
ry her. He gave her 5000, however,
and she went home. But she does not
consider that sum a sufficient compen-
sation, and has sued for damages.

The Transformation of Bone.

The ENGRAVING Of flesh is surgical
feat which has been frequently accom-
plished with success: but the first
known instanceof TRANSFORMING piece
of bone from one living person to an
other was announced at q recent meet
ing of the Royal Society of England.
In 1873, young child was admitted
into the Glasgow infirmary with NEGRO
sis, or modification of the right humer-
us, or bone of the upper arm. The
mortified part was removed from the
bone, but even after fifteen months no
fresh bone had grown to fill up the gap.
This extended to two-thirds of the
entire shaft, and IL became necessary
to try and transplant piece of
alien bone into the place. On three
several occasions portions of living
bone were transplanted into the child S
arm. the pieces being obtained from
osseous wedges which had to be excised
from the healthy bones of other pa
tients. The pieces were divided into
many small fragments before being APP
piled, and in the course of time they
united together into solid rod, there
by converting a helpless arm into USE
full one. The operation is of great inn
portance as demonstrating that piece
of transplanted bone is capable of living
and growing on another system, TO the
benefit of the latter.

He Did Not Mince Matters.

A Representative of the Lynn Mass. J
Item, in late ramble throughout that
city, gathered, among other scraps of
interest and information, the following:
The first place visited by the reporter
was the fruit store of Mr.. j. Levett, No.
81 Market street, in response to a ru-
NOR that the proprietor had been cured
of the rheumatism by the great reme-
dy. Mr.. Levett, not being in, the re-
porter had talk with his son. Mr..
Levett stated that his father had been
cured of an exceedingly bad attack of
rheumatism by the St. Jacobs Gil. He
had the disease in his right arm and
shoulder, which became perfectly help
less after being affected few hours.
His pain was SO great that he could not
rest in comfort or attend to business
with any degree of satisfaction. After
enduring this sort of thing for some
time, he purchased bottle of the
Great German Remedy and began to
apply it. He did not mince matters at
all, but just used the Oil for all it was
worth. After pursuing this mode of
treatment for three days the pain was
banished and his father was in per-
fectly healthy condition. He has never
since felt any rheumatic pain.
