Gently invented by R. NJ. Catlin, mine
superintendent of our town. This gun has
a Winchester band and stock, with a 10
repeating magazine in the stock. 1t is a
trife heavier than the ordinary Winchester,
but its great feature is that the whole 15
shots may be fired in one second.
The shells are thrown out, and at the end
of the firing the gun is as clean as though
only single cartridge had been exploded.
An instantaneous photo was taken Of the
gun in action, and while the exposure was
made five shells were in the air tossed out
by the inconceivable rapid working of the
gun. All that the man who does the shoot
ing has to do is to fill the chamber with
cartridges, cock the gun, and then pull the
trigger as many times as he wants to shoot.
The gun is accurate at short or long range.

THE WOMAN IN AFRICA,


The accompanying illustration Is made
from the first photograph of Mrs French
Sheldon taken in African travelling cos
tune. 1t was taken just before she started
and reproduced by the New York World.
As readers of The DISPATCH know, Mrs.
Sheldon has returned from Africa, being
compelled to give up the major portion Of
her plans by illness However, her trip
was not fruitlesc.
Mention has already been made by cable
of Mrs. French-Sheldon' exploration of
the remarkable crater Lake Chala at the
foot of the eastern slope of Killma-N jaro.
An explorer named New was the first
European to visit this African lake (n
1S71), and, although he described the crater
as exceedingly steep and difficult of descent,
he managed to reach the edge of the water
Mr.. J. Thompson, on his journey to Nasal
land, visited the lake and described its at
fractions in glowing terms. He, however,
could find no place by which 1t
was possible to descend. Mrs. Sheldon
undertook the adventure, accom-
panied by Mr.. Keith Anstruther, who
some months before had forced path down
to the waters edge. Mrs. Sheldon went
first, and. at considerable risk, succeeded in
forcing her way through the dense vegeta-
tion and loose rocks Sometimes she sank
to her armpits in the mass of decayed vege-
tation which had accumulated for ages.

Multitudes of birds whirred about and
troops of monkeys leaped from branch to

lowed with pontoons, which were locked
together and set afoat. Mrs. Sheldon and Mr..
Anstruther got on board and with the great
est difficulty persuaded one of their super
stitious men to accompany them. Mrs.

Anstruther "kept sharp lookout for the
intrusive crocodiles, which were most
numerous" Ducks of three varieties rose In

DASHED INTO FRAGMENTS.

An Engineer Who Believed in Taking
Desperate Chances.
On the Colorado Midland Railroad, be-
tween Cascade and Manitou, there is very
steep grade, where runaway car or train
would soon attain q frightful speed. A
track, known as a safety switch, has lately
been built from this down grade up the
mountain, and the connection with the
main line is constantly kept open. When a
regular train comes down the road the
switchman, who is always on duty at the
safety" turns his switch and lets the train
90 by on the main line.
If the engineer whistles n certain signal,
however, the sWitchman leaves the safety
switch in connection with the main line,
and the runaway train runs on up the
mountain, and Is soon stopped by the steep
grade.
frightful accident took place just below
this safety switch a short time ago through
the reckless indifference OF an engineer,
who preferred TO lake his chances on the
main line instead of running up the mount
ain track.
His tain became UDmanageable through
some defect in the air-brake and soon at
tanned fearful speed. 1t was a freight
tain OF thirteen cars, heavily loaded with
ore from the mines of Aspen. There were
four men in the caboOse, which was the last
car, as usual. They soon perceived that
the engineer had lost control of the train,
and they succeeded in uncoupliug the
caboose from the rest of the train, thereby
saving their lives. Applying the hand
brakes they soon brought the car to a
standstill.
The rest of the train rushed on, and as 1t
neared the safety-switch the engineer whis-
tied the signal to let his train pass on the
main track. The switchman had nothing
to do but obey orders. He saw the Inflated
train dash down the grade at the rate of a
mile minute, carrying the engineer and
fireman to what proved fearful death.
just below Cascade is series of tunnels,
seven in number, aud Just before reaching
the first of these the train leaped the track,
going down an embankment or rather over
the side Of the mountain on when the track
is built.
The entire train was dashed into frag-
ments-as one spectator expressed it. into
toothpicks" The fireman WAS buried under
the wreck. The engineer lived to tell his
reason for keeping TO the track He said:
Il preferred to take my chances on the
main line. | don't believe the switch is
safe, anyhow"
Yet there was not one chance in million,
so said railroad men, of his stopping a train
that was running away as bis train was
There is superstition among railroad men
about leaving the main line and, notwith-
standing this accident, there are probably
few engineers on mountain roads who would
not stick to the main track and take their
chances" just as this one did.-Youth,s
Companion.
