lad, not yet of age, with an invention
for which he has already refused more
than a quarter of million dollars, has
made pretty fair start in the direction
of fame.
This noiseless and smokeless electric
gun invented by Mr.. Newman, a young
apprentice at Whitehead's torpedo fac
tory, exists at present only in the tiny
model weighing seven pounds.
With this small weapon, however, the
inventor has made very satisfactory
experiments, SCATTERING a target at q
distance of a mile and also at five miles
range. The gun has very high muzzle
velocity. 1t is said that the inventor
has refused an offer Of 6 $4,000 from the
admiralty for hisinvention, Meanwhile
he is carefully guarding his secret while
he constructs model weighing 100

when the Dull witness lIado Up
HIS Mind to Speak the Lave
yer Suffered.

Amember of the Louisville bar named
Simmondson. who was in the habit of
intimidating the opposing witnesses,
was one" cngaged in the trial of a ease
involving lie title to some farm lands,
and 81 number of countrymen were
called to testify on the other side.
When Simmondson came to cross-eXam-
inc, says the Denver Post, he harassed
them in every imaginable manner, and
whenever they would show signs of
confusion would roar out: what are
you hesitating for? Are you afraid
you may tell lie?" If the victim re-
piled NO." Simmondson would retort:
II was sure you didn't mind little
thing like that" and if the answer was
YES" he would say, with a sneer:
AHA, thought So" The last witness
he took in hand was a tall, lank farmer,
the batting of his neighbors in dead
silence, and took the stand with perfect
composure. Simmondson evidently
set him down as a lout, and when the
witness hesitated over some question n
moment later, he fired his favorite
shot: What are y studying about?"
he beloved, "'fraid of telling a lie, too,
I suppose?" Without any apparent
haste the countryman picked up mas
sive inkstand and hurled it straight at
Simmondson's head, catching him on
the bridge of the nose and knocking
him senseless. "That's what was a
studyin' about" he drawled, in the mo-
ment of dead silence that followed the
act. Needless to say, a tremendous hub
bub ensued, but everybody was secret
ly pleased, and while the Judge fined
the farmer heavily for contempt, he
subsequently RENTED the sentence.
