The pay of the legislators ends with

The average legislator gets mighty

stops, though of course there are many
unselfish and patriotic members of every
Legislature, who are willing to remain
as long as they are actually needed,
which is hardly ever exceeding a week
after the expiration of the sixty days.

DEATH OF DR.. R. J. GATLING.
Inventor of the Famous Gun That
Bears His Name.

New YORK, Feb. 26.-R. J. Gatline,
inventor of the famous Gatling gun,
and the recently perfected auto
graph, and a native of North Caro-
lima, died suddenly this afternoon OF
heart failure and grip, at the home
Of his son-in-law. Hugh o. Pentecost.
He was 81 years of age. DR.. Cat
ling suffered from heart failure for
three years OF late it has been ag-
gravated by an attack of influenza.
1t was on account of i'll health that
Dr. Gatling came here from ST. Louis,
where had been on business, to visit
his daughter. He and his wife
reached here a fortnight ago. He
did not go to luncheon today with
Mrs. Gatling and Mrs. Pentecost.
but lay down on a couch in an add
Joining room. Just as Mrs Pente-
cost sat down the telephone rang. in
the room in which DR.. Gatling was
lying. She went in and spoke to her
husband who was at his office down
town. Then she noticed something
wrong with the invalid and quick
telephone calls brought several doe
tors on the run, but the doctor died
with his head in his daughters lap
before their arrival. The funeral will
take place at indianapolis.
Richard Jordan Gatling was born
in Hartford county, n. c., September
y, 1918. AS a boy he assisted his
father in perfecting a machine for
sowing cotton seed; later he invented
Il machine for sowing rice, adapted it
to sowing wheat and patented it.
DR.. Gatling graduated at the Ohio
Medical College i'll 1850, but never
practiced the profession. His most
notable invention, or at least the
one which did most to make him ia
nous, was the Gatling gun, which he
perfected in 1862, and which is still
among the artillery equipment of the
United States army. By its use
thousands of shots can be fired per
minute out of a pepper-box cannon
barrel, controlled by crank ar
rangements. In 1866 DR.. Gatling
invented a gun metal composed of
steel and aluminium. He also in
'tilt'' u SihI-Dit'lhiIS 1iidtiiiile, tt

Some years ago Congress voted him
so 900 for proof experiments in a
new method Of casting cannon. 1t
has been said of Dr. Gatling that the
horror of war as shown by the return
home OF wounded and dead soldiers
early in the civil war induced him to
attempt the invention Of a gun that
would take the place of a number of
rifles and require only a few men to
operate it, and that the death-deal-
ing magazine affair which bears his
name is the result of this effort
