rison. The plan of European tour was briefly
laid before the Presidents son by telegraph,
and he accepted the mission. He has done
more than was originally intended probably,
but all he has done, even including the visit to

A DAY or two ago saw a sample of the new
Colts revolver with which the sailors of the
United States navy will be armed as soon as
possible. 1t is beautiful weapon with several
new features seemingly most desirable.
An entirely new departure is made in the
chamber of the weapon. By pulling back
very easily-moved catch the chamber can be
thrown over to the left, and after being empried
or filled, can be thrown back into place by
movement Of the wrist merely. The whole
operation requires no tugging at refractory
springs, and makes the throwing out of used
cartridges and the loading much easier than
ever saw in a revolver before. The revolver
has a long rified barrel and an improved sight,
which with the other novel features is pro-
tected by patent. HEPBURN JOHNS.

doctor. She was removed to a hospital and
