could not even venture a conjecture as

interesting disclosure that the Russian
government may take over the new in

show a disposition to move in the mat

THE NO|SELESS GUN,
Smokeiess Weapon Is to Be
Tested at Sandy Hook.
FIRED WITHOUT ANY POWDER

Uncle Sam to Have First Chance at
Weapon That Huris 100000 Bullets
Hourly With No Danger of Burst
ins--cost of Firing Said to Be Small.
The United States government has
completed arrangements with Fred
Bangerter, inventor of the, new noise
less and smokeless gun. whereby one
of these destructive machines is to
have thorough trying out at Sandy
Hook, with the ultimate view of the
gun being taken over by the ordnance
department.
This gun, which is fred by some
mysterious power which the inventor
declines to divulge, but which be says
is neither powder nor other explosive
nor compressed air. is capable of dis
charging 100000 bullets an hour
without recoiling or becoming over
heated and with absolutely no danger
of bursting.
After a two hour visit from Colonel
Brine and Major Dickson of the army
ordnance board, recently. at which the
merits of the Bangerter gun were fully
discussed, the two officers requested
the inventor to build one of his guns
for tryout at Sandy Hook. Mr.. Ban
gerter recently confirmed the news at
his home in Brooklyn. The new gun,
he said, will be of such character
that for the preservation of life and
property it can only be tested on the
target range at the Hook
II am arranging now" said be. ito
build gun that will send a half inch
ball distance specified by Colonel
Brine and with sufficient velocity &c
kill or dangerously wound man. The
new gun will be made Of steel and the
parts Will be perfect. so that the gun
can be worked to the highest speed re-
quired to fulfill the maximum demands
The gun have at, present is made OF
brass in all it's parts, and some Of the
parts are worn. so severe have beeN
the tests to which they have been sub
jected.
BRASS is much softer metal thar

Did you ever hear any one say "God
bless your. after some other person
had sneezed? Some writer's attribute
the benediction to st. Gregory, who en-.
joined its use during a pestilence in
which sneezing was a fatal symptom
But here again we find a revival Of an
ancient custom, for Aristotle mentions
1t as existing among the Greeks, and
Thucydides says that sneezing was the
symptom of a crisis in the grea,
Athenian plague. The Romans had
the same custom, and SO, 1t is said
have the native Indian tribes here
