The Haskill multicharge gun, which

the past two years, is finished. 1t will
be shipped to New York and taken to
Sandy Hook to be tested in the pres
ence Of officers of the army and navy,
Congress made special appropriation
for this purpose. The inventor, J. r,
Haskill, has constantly given the work
his own supervision. Many military ex-
perts have inspected the gun, and pro-
nounced it the most destructive engine
of death, perhaps, ever invented.
1t IS twenty-five feet long, and weighs
twenty-five tons. 1t cost $50, 900. I'm
derneath the gun are three pockets for
the holding of powder. Each pocket
contains twenty-eight pounds, and there
are besides eighteen pounds in the
breech, thus concentrating the force Of
over one hundred pounds of powder in
place of One-fourth the amount usually
put in the breech of the cannon now in
use.
1t is claimed that it Will hlTl a pro-
iectile twice as heavy as those used in
the ordinary cannon, and that it will

four inches thick and will easily carry

physician. He went to sea at an early
age, and became the captain of a mrr-
chairman. He first attracted public
notice by jumping from the Cunard mail
steamer Russia during a storm to save a
sailor who had fell overheard. For this
he received at the hands of the Duke of
Edinburgh the first gold medal given by
the Humane Society. In 1875 he swan
the English Channel and was afterward
presented, in honor of this act. with a
Burmese cup by the Twenty-fOurth
British Regiment Last year he swan
