San Francisco, April 23.-The roar

The contriyance is the invention Of
Hiram Percy Maxim, and it is claim
ed that any small gun equipped with
1t, can be fired without being heard
over a few yards away. The inven~
ton is being taken to the Orient by
Joseph Keegan and Hilllard Rosen-
cranz, special representatives OF the
designer, who will demonstrate IL to
officials of the Japanese and Chinese
governments.
The device Is a small, unobtrusive
looking globe. varying In size with
the calibrc OF the gun il is on. 1t is
fitted TO the muzZle OF the weapon
and by changing the direction of the
exploding gases 10 a rotary motion, an

gun experts, the only noise to be
heard when a 30~30 rifle was dis
charged, was the impact OF the bullet
