NEW YORK.-A gun that, it's inven-

let's an hour at cost of $40; that
uses neither powder nor compressed
air, and that fires bullets that do not
require shells, was shot for the en-
lightenment of a delegation of New
York reporters. The reporters saw
the gun shoot, but they were not per-
mltted to see that part of the gun
out of which which the little steel bull
lets came with such rapidity.
A Swiss named Bangerter was in
troduced as the inventor. In order
that the secret should be maintained
that part Of the mechanism that it Is
said causes the rapid shooting was
covered with oilcloth. Only the motor
that operates the gun and the little
bucketlike receptacles into which the
bullets are poured by the quart were
visible to the reporters.
There were targets made of a series
Of big boards arranged in box fashion,
each plank about a foot behind the
one in front Of it. There were four
boards in each target. When the
bullets started to fly, they riddled the
target into pile of splinters foot
high, and they did it in less than a
minute. All in all, it was estimated
that no less than $4,000 bullets
pierced the target
