TURP|N's DESTROYER or MEN
Said to Be an Electric and Self
Loading Mitrailleuse.
Capable of Dlscharglng 90, 600 Shots
Over 1000 Metres.

PARIS. May 30.-The most conflicting
reports are In circulation in regard to
the invention which NJ. Turpin. the in
ventor Of the explosive Melinite. IL said
to have sold for 100000 francs to Ger
many. The invention Is described
as being calculated to entirely change
the system of warfare, and the report
Of its sale. true or untrue, has caused
n sensation In military and diplomatic
circles.
one report describes the new engine
OF warfare as consisting OF II mitrai
leuse rap!d-fire gum shell, adapted to
new description of gun carriage having
automatic means of transport, and
which can be turned In any direction
while rapidly discharging 10000 shots
over 1000 square metres OF ground.
The Turpin mitrailleuse Is said to be
loaded automatically by an electric mo-
tor, and the shell is described as emit
ting sitting fumes after It has been
fired. Emperor William Is said to have
bestowed upon the French inventor the
title OF Chief Engineer OF Armaments.
on the other hand. It Is reported that
negotiations for the sale OF the new
mitrailleuse to Germany have not been
completed. and 1t Is also said that Tur-
pin himself has caused the circulation
of the reports in regard to the sale of
his new invention to Germany in order
to create a scare which will compel the
French Government to purchase his in
vention at very high price.
Another rumor has It that Turpin.
who. some time ago, was sentenced to
| Imprisonment for having sold to the
Armstrong gun-making firm. Of Eng
land. certain secrets in regard to the
manufacture OF explosives and weapons
of war. has sold his new invention to
England.
As a matter of fact. very little Is
known about the matter. and some
time may elapse before the exact nature
of Turpin's invention is known.
