With an electric quick-flring gun. which Is
stated 70 be capable OF discharging 300

inventions 10 his credit. He was. IL Is
stated, one Of the pioneers OF the discOv-

and would ignite after being submerged

in an accident devoted his time to the
study OF electricity.
According to the published descriptions,
the new gun resembles the Maxim gun.
II consists Of an electric motor. a Teser-
voir for bullets. and tube about six
feet long and one-third OF an inch In

An effort is being made to hush the

The truth is that Boni forced the fright

him several months before the time set
by the court for the children 70 visit
him. and was prompted TO this haste
by the news that the former wife had
sent word TO have the children brought
10 her in England. where she is now
scjourning with Prince de Sagan.
Under the courts decree. the children
must be kept in France. but Boni de-
