The Unhappy Experience Of Young
Married Woman.

A young married woman In Brooklyn
suspected that her husband was In.
dulging In wine. She determined, how
ever, to say nothing TIL she had con.
frmed her suspicious. In conversation
with her bosom friend she said sha
would give anything to discover the
truth. The friend mentioned that n
man even slightly intoxicated cannot
pronounce words OF length. This gave
the young wife an Idea, which she pro.
ceeded to put into execution.
When the young women met again,
the suspicious wife announced that the
worst had been ascertained. She burst
into tears and took from her hand bag
paper, which she handed to her
friend.
II gave him this" she sObbed.
The friend read from the list the fol-
lowing words: "Philoprogcnltiveness,
disproportlonableness. pseudaesthesia.

"And," added the unhappy wife, with

Son Of Sir Hiram Maxim. In.
vents Noiseless Gun.
MAY REvOLuTlONlzE WARFARE
Because Of Its Dreadful Probabilities
in the World of Crime Many Police
officials Have Already Insisted
That il be Saieguarded by Law.

NEW YORK, Feb, 70, - Hiram
Percy Maxim. son Of Sir Hiram
Maxim, inventor of the machine gun
which bears his name, has secured
patents for silent hrearm. II is an
nouneed that by the use OF the device
patented, the discharge of any frearm
from the smallest pistol to the largest
gun is rendered practically noiseless.
The invention consists OF the use OF a
device similar to the "muftler' used
on automobiles to deaden the noise
of the constant explosions by which
the gasoline engine is operated. II Is
in the shape OF muffler attached to
the muzzle OF the irearm through
which the gases which drive out the
bullet or shell are allowed to escape
gradually without the effect of an ex-
piosion
By this device, which does not al'
ter the appearance OF any weapon ex-
cept for a small cross piece in the
barrel short distance from the
muzzle, the escape OF the gases fol
lowing the discharge Of the explosive
is shut off just as the bullet emerges
from the muzzle. This result is OBJ
tanned by means OF pistol valve
sliding across the bore OF the barrel
Immediately after the bullet passes,
This valve is actuated entirely by the
presence OF the gases OF themselves
and is not operated BY any intricate
device.
Preventing the gases from escap-
ing suddenly and provoking conse-
quent loud report, this valve allows
them to issue gradually through a
series OF small holes. thus obviating
all noise except slight kissing
sound. The valve then resumes an
open position and safety device pre-
vents the firing OF another cartridge
unless the valve is in its proper place.
Further, ammunition of various kinds
may be used, ranging from leaden
bullets and ordinary gunpower, to
forged steel projectiles impelled by
smokeless powder.
Military experts apprised OF the |
new invention assert that it holds the
power to force revolution OF modern
OF warfare. By use Of this
noiseless weapon skirmishers could
work along an enemies front and
shoot down pickets without their
presence being noted except upon the
OF the slain. Sharp |
shooters would be enabled to pick off |
their victims without reports OF
betraying their positions.
In the world OF sport it is held by |
the inventor that the new weapon
would render it possible for a man
properly concealed to kill at his lei
sure probably every deer in sur
prised herd, as no alarm would be
sounded.
Because of its dreadful probabili-
ties in the world of crime many |
police officials have already insisted
that the manufacture and disposal Of
the new device should be safeguarded
by law. Armed with such weapon
a policeman might be enabled to dis.
able every member Of band of law
breakers should he surprise them at |
their work.
On the other hand it would be
equally dangerous in the possession
Of a desperate criminal The assassin,
by its use, would be enabled to pick
off his victim and find opportunity Of
escaping.
