MR.. MAxIM'S "SlLENCER."

One of the latest achievements of
science is the muffler for guns, in
vented by Maxim The tests that have
/ been made of this interesting device
prove beyond doubt that it is destined
to play an important part in warfare.
But, as with so many of Maxim's in
ventions, this little instrument can
serve no actual valuable purpose save
to make war more terrible, and its pos
sibilities for service to criminals are
very great.
With a gun that is practically
smokeless and noiseless the criminal
will find his sphere of activity greatly
enlarged Heretofore the assassin who
shot down his prey with gun labored
under the disadvantage of attracting
attention by the noise and smoke of
his weapon. But with the improve
ments now offered through the inge
nuity of Mr. Maxim, the murderer will |
find it fairly easy to make his get |
away" before his crime is discovered |
All he will have to do is to rent a
room opposite that of his victim and |
pot him at his leisure, In times of |
strikes the unruly can pick off the |
strikebreakers at long range and in
comparative safety to themselves.
Those so-called sportsmen who de-
light in the slaughter of game merely
for the sake of the killing will rise up
and call Maxim blessed. With long
range automatic gun, smokeless pow
der and a "silencer" the warden will
have no chance whatever and the
sport" will go merrily on while the
bewildered animals can only stand
helpless marks to the gentleman with
the Maxim equipment. With expand |
ing bullets the killing of big game
will be mere child's play and as free
from danger to the hunter as ping
pong.
Mr.. Maxim has given the human
race many wonderful devices and pre-
scriptions for destruction. This in
ventor seems to spend his time in aid
ing men to kill each other off with the
maximum Of neatness and despatch.
He has invented an explosive that is
the most powerful known, and when
this substance is placed in one of the
Maxim torpedoes ship can be blown
out of the water with dexterity.
Smokeless powder permits men to
hide in ambush and puncture their
brothers without being located or fired
back upon. Now the "silencer" comes
along to increase the terror of the
rifle and make its use a hundred times
more effective for the criminal. What
pity it is that Mr. Maxim did not
turn his remarkable talents into more
humane directions.
