The Noiseless shooting Iron.

The Noiseless Shooting Iron.
Whether the startling new invention
of young Maxim will change the con-
ditions Of warfare must remain q sub
ject for guessing until tests are made
by competent judges. For most pur-
poses the modern high power army
rifle possesses about all the advantages
which could be claimed for a noiseless
substitute. Smokeless powder makes
a firing line practically invisible If the
soldiers are properly sheltered, and the
range is so great that bullets strike the
enemy's column before the report OF
the volley is heard. The report when
it comes discloses the direction Of the
hostile force, but that can also be
guessed from the fight of the missiles.
But for men of murderous intent the
noiseless gun will offer temptations.
The report of an assassin's pistol gives
alarm, and anyway the pistol itself
often turns up as clew. The noise
less dagger is telltale, and the user
of it often has trouble in getting away
from the scenesb before discovery. But
a rifle which will send bullet half
mile and more, giving no report and
free of smoke, will place a fearful
weapon n the hands of the king kill
ers and the person with a private
grudge to settle. The Black Hand
band and all anarchists will surely
bless Hiram Percy Maxim if his noise
less gun proves to be the real thing.
