The planters had received from

stock and made a healthy race in a

he enforced the primary laws of

A NEW COMBINATION.
AerOplane and Automatic Gun to

AerOplane and Automatic Gun to
Slaughter the Birds.
Hubert Latham went hunting in
his aeroplane the other day. This
suggests new and inviting combl-
nation for game slaughterers-the
aeroplanes and the noiseless auto
matte gun. Thus equipped two
hunters could follow a raft of ducks
or a covey of cartridges or a herd
of deer until the last individual of
the bunch had been killed. The
aeroplane will go mile a minute; a
frightened duck will probably do
about the same speed; an automatic
gun will discharge six shots in SIX
seconds-see the beauty of the idea?
