X. j. Calling, inventor Of the machine
gun that bears his name, to a reporter
for Washington newspaper the other
day.
ALREADY 1t has made obsolete between
100000 and 100000 of muskets In Eu-

powder. not to speak of the millions of
cartridges, all of which the countries
possessing would be willing to sell for
a song. Here is vast sum OF wasted
capital but 1t is the inevitable result
Of progress. Our army guns in this
country will soon be in the obsolete
category, for to keep pace with the rest
OF the world We will have to adopt
smokeless powder, too. A gun loaded
with 1t will send bullet just twice
as far as the black powder does. Again,
the new invention changes military tao
tics entirely, for in the battles of the
future troops will never display them
selves en- masse to the enemy. Open
fighting. as has been customary through
all the ages, is a thing of the past. for
