A Peculiar Revolver.

James Cox was found lying neal the
foot of Illinois street at 10 O'Clock Satur-
day morning with a cash in his scalp.
He said he had been shot by Max
Schmidt, o saloon keeper near by. Cox
was sent to the county hospital and
Schmidt arrested. AT the county hospi-
tai the attending physician said Cox had
not been shot, and that the scalp wound
was of a trifing nature. Cox was re-
turned to the East Chicago avenue sta
ton and locked up. Schmidt was charged
with assault, gave bond and was re-
leased.
Patrolman Becker went to Schmidt's
saloon and secured possession Of a Pc
culiar revolver. 1t is circular in shape
and resembles a pocket tape measure
with a short barrel attachment. Inside
the device is a revolving cylinder with
seven chambers of small caliber. The
revolver is held in the small of the hand,
with the barrel protruding through the
fingers. The operator cal discharge the
weapon by squeezing it, and the pro-
truding barrel also serves the purpose of
brass knuckles. Cox said that Schmidt
struck him with this weapon several
times and then shot him in the head.
The caliber of the revolver is only %,
the bullets being oblong in shape. The
weapon makes only a slight report, but
is capable of doing considerable damage.
1t is the frs of its kind the police of tho
East Chicago Avenue station have seen.

pee dy Locomotives.

Much has been said of the new Big
Four and other locomotives, but here is
one that seems to eclipse everything on
this side of the water when everything
is considered.
One Of the London and Northwestern
engines during a race to Scotland in 1888
covered the distance from Preston to
Carlisle, 90 miles, in exactly 90 minutes,
having a gradient of no less than one in
seventy-fiy1 to climb between Tebay and
Shah Summit. One of the most famous
engines of this company is known as the
Charles Dickens and runs daily from
Manchester to London and back, a dis
lance of 1861 miles. Except when
stopped for repairs the Charles Dickens
has, since February, 1882, made this
journey every day, working up the $50
a. II. from Manchester and returning
with the a p. m. from Euston. On Sept.
IL, 1891, it completed the two thousand
six hundred and fifty-first trip, having
accomplished the extraordinary feat of
running LOCO, coo miles ms years and 219
days. No other engine in the world has
run so many miles in a like period Of
time,-Dallas News.

To Cross this Ocean In a cochfeshell,

A novel experiment in ocean saviga-
ton is to be attempted by a Nottingham
enthusiast who has been occupying him
self for a year past with tho construc-
ton of a boat in which he proposes to
cross the Atlantic during the summer.
Tho vessel, which is built Of iron and is
entirely of his own design and make, is
only 10 feet 6 inches long, with 3 feet
beam and Q feet G inches depth, and is
thus the smallest craft that has ever at
tempted such an adventurous voyage.
1t is what is known as a ''whaieback"
deck, and the cabin, lighted by glass
windows at the side, will be completely
water tight when closed, fresh air being
obtained by pipes.
Should the tiny craft be overturned
the inventor claims that it will automat-
ically right itself. She will be fitted with
a 10 foot mast from the fore deck with
lib and mainsail, and additional motive
power will be supplied by geared hand
screw. The navigator intends to start
from Nottingham, sailing down the
Trent to Hull, and making for the At
lantic by way OF the English channel.
He expects that the trip will occupy him
something over u month. Tele-
