INVENTED BY YALE MEN.
New Rapid Fire Electric Gun Perfected


 by Sheffield Seniors Francis G. Hall jr.. and Irving E. Burdick, seniors in the Sheffield Scien- tific school, at Yale, have just perfected new electric rapid fire gun. Its in- ventors believe that the weapon is to became an important piece of ordnance, and with it they hope to revolutionize the use of automatic guns on modern naval vessels.
 MT. Hale and MT. Burdick recently came to public notice by inventing the Yale submarine arc lamp, which is now in use by the United States and Russian navies. They have been de- voting their spare moments in this city since last Christmas to building and perfecting their gun. Some of their eX- periments were carried on al Light house point, on the sound where they were free from observation, but were heard firing away early in the morning before the occupants of the few cot tageS thereabout were stirring.
 The gun resembles the Hotchkiss, be- ing mounted on deck in similar man. ner. It's distinguishing feature is de- vice by which the gun can be fired by electricity from any part of the ship. It is asserted that the device is entire ly different from any other for which patents have been granted.
 Messrs. Hale and Burdick, though not out of school here, organized the Naval Electric company, with an office in this city to carry on their electrical work For several years prior to this their work has been done under the name of the B. & H. Electric company, but so much marine work has offered itself that they were advised to devote their whole time to it after finishing at Yale.

that the sixty-foot roadway along
the shore of Boring sea does not

A test case was made by Frank
Sieger, who refused to move his

to vacate location made on the
beach by George w. Beardsley
and S. R. Caldon, and known as
the Ophir Beach Claim. A crimi-

Sieger and the decision quoted is
the result. Sieger has been bound
over for appearance at the next
term of court.
The effect of the decision is to
give to several large corporations

take out few dollars a day from

miners is running high over the
loss of the beach and legal effort,
