Range Of 3yooo Yards.
A noiseless gun, using no gunpow-
Ger, calculated to fire 10000 shots per
minute and which has a range Of 1900
yards, has been invented by William
Patten, twenty-seven years old, a resi-
dent Of New York and a native of
Liverpool, England.
Mr.. Patten said to q New York
American reporter the other day: 'T
thought Of this gun Eve years ago.
One day while at work a hywheel Of a
high speed steam engine burst, and the
tensile strength was 80 great that 1t
shattered the hywheel to atoms. This
gave me the idea. l have worked on
the gun eighteen months In this shop,
and / applied for patents three months
ago.

600 shots per minute, and its extreme
range il 5000 yards. firing a round ball
one-half inch In diameter. The ball
viii leave the muEzle at a speed Of
1,760.O00 feet a minute. There Is no
noise while the gun Is in action, and
no compressed air or electricity Is
used. 1t In simply based on centrifu-
gal force.
cit can be mounted on an automo-
bile or 1t can be made stationary. such
as on the deck OF a ship, and 1t can
also be mounted on a universal car
rage so as to swing in any arc.
THE gun very much resembles a cof-
fee grinder. and the operator has sim
ply to pour the shot into the hopper.
and as fast as 1t can be put in II will
be elected. The ball will be Of steel.
and the gun will cost $500 to manu-
facture. less the power to drive It."
When asked what he was going to
do with the invention Mr.. Patten said:
II am going to give the United States
government the preference. 1t is not
necessary to have a barrel. which
might be conspicuous, and II is impos-
slble TO jam Il. The gun will be six
feet in diameter, two feet wide at the
center and two inches on the outside
diameter. The gun will be made Of
steel. and there are only ten parts.
can make this gun discharge $4,000
balls per minute. There are no valves
connected with 1t whatever. Ninety
i've horsepower will be sufficient to
eject the balls 1900 yards"

six inch working model the ability Of
his gun to nearly penetrate a piece of
tin at twenty-five yards with ordinary
shot
