A very gratifying incident occurred at

ing Mr. T. Chamberlain, Of Norwich.
Conn, says the New York Sun, has
produced what he calls 'sperfected
air gun" The term is MISSIONER, as
the invention does not relate to guns
but to projectiles Mr.. Chamber
lain does not load gun with air,
but he loads the bullet and he thinks
his invention would do away with
the use Of gunpowder. The various
parts of Mr., Chamberlain's bullet
are three in number The exterior
Of the projectile is a hollow steel
shell. Part two is a steel end piece,
which screws into the shell, leaving
the chamber above the end piece to
be charged with air. The end piece
is hollow, except at the upper end,
and has four equidistant air holes
at a point on its stem. A steel pin
fits exactly into the hollow of the
end piece, the end of the piece being
flush with the bottom Of the bullet
when it is ready for use. It is held
in place, when the bullet is charged
by delicate wire penetrating the
rim of the end piece. In charging
the bullet with air the end piece Is
screwed in tight, and air is forced
into the chamber by an air engine
invented by Mr. Chamberlain. The
pin is then sent in and the wire is
fastened. The bullet may be fired
in any breech loading gun Of the
right bore. Thcfall Of the gun-bam-
mer breaks the wire holding the
steel pin, and drives thepin past the
air holes, the air charge rusbes out
around the smaller end of the
pin against the brcech, and the bull
let is hurled from the gun. The re
port Of the charge is, correspond
ingIy, louder than that Of pow
der. BY adaptation Of the same
principle q cartridge is made for
throwing shot.
