inspired with patriotism, as should De
expected Of one living in town with
such a patriotic name, has taken out
a cayeat ana is now perfecting his patent
for a noiseless cannon, one that would
break more gently 10 the willy Spaniard
tine fact that American Navy was pum-
melting the life out OF his navy.
The SCHNEIDER cannon IS a double bar
relied affair the first barrel being for
jammiug out the shot and the second for
jamming in the air so that the war dogs
Of Uncle Sam will be quiet. hard work
ing beasts able to do a whole lot OF
biting without emitting a single bark.
To accomplish this end the Schlindcr
nOiseless cannon has a trap door some
ism 81 the extra barrel this trap is made

The idea Of the invention, as has been
intimated, came TO him one day While
out goose hunting. He discerned that
the report OF his gun frightened away
the geese and began 10 study the pro-
blem. Having decided that IL he had
a gun that did not "shoo' every time
he shot he could bag a lot more geese.
he set about 10 overcome the defect OF
