A Eurekan znyenfs Machine that
Fires Two shots Seeand.

Joseph Hausman gave an exhibition
trial of his new gun on the mountain
east OF town on Sunday afternoon, says
the Eureka Sentinel. There was quite
a crowd OF spectators and experts pres
ent, who took great interest in the
shooting. 1t was the first public trial
OF the weapon, and the test gave gen.
yards, and the target Of regulation size.
with a six-inch balls eye. Everybody
who considered himself a marksman
was allowed to handle and shoot the
new gun. aud in consequence the gen
eral result would not make large
score, but in the hands OF those famll-
lar with target shooting the gun dem
onstrated its good qualities alongside
OF the Winchester and the Springfield
army rifle. A number Of bull's-eyes
were made, aud good many fours and
threes. However, the novelty OF the
gun does not lie in the barrel. 1t is in
the works IL was shown that the gun
had decided advantages in loading. A
cartridge can he introduced in about
half the time it would take to put one
into the Springfield musket, and for
successive shooting it is no doubt supe-
ror to the Winchester, which, after its
magazine becomes exhausted, would re-
quire more time TO load than was
gained in rapid firing. The mechanism
Of Mr.. Haasman's gun is also very sim
pie, and needs but two movements
pulling back the trigger and putting in
the cartridge. the empty shell being
thrown out in the process OF pull
ing back the trigger. Two experiments
at rapid firing We're made by Mr.. Haus-
man. The first resulted in Ia shots to
the minute. IL of which struck the
target and three entered the hull's-eye.
The second tria! resulted in 20 shots to
the minute, 10 Of which hit the target
and four pierced the bulls eye. The
gun was at rest during these rapid.
firing tests, but the surrounding condi-
tions were unfavorable, the ground was
Uneven and treacherous, and the cart
ridges were in small box and too far
away. The inventor claims that with
little practice he will be able to fire
a shot in two seconds. or thirty in min
ute, A Sentinel reporter witnessed the
trials ON Sunday. and believes the claim
can be made good. Mr.. Haasman has
taken out capias for his invention,
and will in due time apply for patent.

Evidence IS accommodating, says a
Canadian paper, to prove that in the
German carp we have food-fish capa-
BILE of furnishing almost unlimited sup
plies at very little cost. This fish is of
especial value to the farmers, for it will
live in ponds which become so warm
that no other fish can exist in them. It
is unnecessary to enlarge upon the
added comfort it would be to a farmer
if he could 60 out and take from his
pond five or six pound carp, which would
give him and his family good dinner
Any ordinary pond will do for carp. An
excavation in the course of a creek,
damned at the lower end with grating,
so that flood will not carry the fish
away, answers perfectly. The carp will
eat almost anything, and pond of four
square rods in extent will furnish all the
fish-food family wants. Carp grow
from the egg to three pounds in weight
in one year. They multiply rapidly, a
single female yielding half a million
eggs in year: They spawn in May
and June. In the winter they burrow
in the mud and remain dormant, neither
making nor losing growth. In the
spawning season they, must be fed, or
they will destroy the spawn. At other
times they need not be fed, unless there
are so many of them in the pond that
the aquatic vegetation and supplies
brought down by the feeding creek are
insufficient. There is scarcely doubt
that a carp-pond would be profitable
adjunct to nearly every farm. Mr..
Wilmot, of Newcastle, will doubtless
soon be in position to supply all appli-
cants with young carp from the .Donlin-
ion hatcheries, and we should not won
der if he be for a few years to come
overwhelmed with inquiries.
