Rifle for Under Water Action.

When he is working in water infest- ed by sharks and other sea monsters likely to do him harm, the diver has at present to rely for his safety on the use of the knife, or, failing that, on quick return to the surface. Nov comes the invention of Captain Grobl. a German diving instructor. who has constructed a rife which can be fired under water, and is designed for tho better arming of the diver. The most remarkable thing about this is that II fires, not bullets, but water which IS propelled with such force that it has an extraordinary power of penetration. Indeed, he inventor himself nas pierced armor plate of medium tnlcE ness with the water jet from HIS weapon. The rife has a stout barrei and is loaded with a cartridge casea In india rubber.

 The detectives got some of the sus- peeted men, separately and together, in hotel room, dictograph was under the sota. A court reporter was at the other end Word for word his nimble fingers recorded every word that was uttered. None but he and the detectives knew.
 Nothing escaped the transmitter- not even the opening or closing of the door-and the stenographer trans cribed everything which the little in strument reported to him. This re- port was admitted as evidence by the judge who presided at the trial.
 The inventor of the instrument is K. M. Turner.
 In order to entrap the legislators who were suspected of receiving bribes, Detective Smiley acted as briber on the occasion when the die tograph was used and he and o. o. Walcott, the stenographer, were prin. clpal witnesses for the prosecution
 The defense objected strenuously to Wolcotts evidence being admitted but the court ruled that it was cor. roboratiVe of the direct evidence and was admissible.

For years several representatives in congress tried to secure an appropriation to be used for the building of monument to General Miller at Peterboro N. H.. which town I'll Try Sir" lived farm before the war of 1872 and for years after it's close. The representatives who had the matter of pushing the bill in hand used the words of Captain Miller at Lundys Lane to express their own determination to secure vic tory. They certainly did try and the speeches that were made before the library committee of congress held patriotic appeals in every sentence. Apparently however, it easier for Miller to capture battery against odds than it for members of congress to capture the dollars neces- sary to build a monument of enduring stones to his memory.
 It of try and try again While the cause of Miller whose heroism was worth dozen monoments, being pleaded congress voted money for memorials to other men less de- serving. Finally, however a New Hampshire member who had been digging into history found out something about I'll Try Sirs" career which was not generally known. Congress had been told time and again that Captain Miller not only had shown conspicuous gallantry at Lundy Lane, but that prior to that fight he had thrashed superior force of British and Indians at Managua Congress had also been told that Miller had com manded the center column of General Browns army which routed what apparently an overwhelmingly greater force of the British at Fore Erie.
 These things didn't make an impression. Con. gress seemed to think that inasmuch as Miller was a soldier that it his business to defeat superior forces of the enemy every day in the week without imposing any monument-raising auty on posteFlty. The New Hampshire member however found out that after the war of 1872 Miller went back to his farm near Petersboro plowed fields, chopped wood and mked the cows instead of going to Washington to ask the gov. ernment to do something for him on account of his record
 Mliiefs popularity was such after the treaty of peace that the government probably would have been glad to give him anything that it had to glve When I'll Try Sir was asked why he was piaylng Cincinnatus instead of taking a iob Tn Washington, he replied: When men begin leaVlng the farms for the cities the nation will begin to decay"
 Congress was told of this saying of Miuers ana either admiration for his choice of a farm CTS life or else belief that he was nronhe+ "ho before long might have the truth of his prophecy proved. brought a favorable renort rom the committee on library in the matter ., the monument at Petersboro

DICTOGRAPH AS A DETECTIVE
Recently invented instrument Plays an important Part in the ohio
 Bribery Trial.

Columbus, O-In the trial of Rodney J. Diegle, sergeant-at-arms of the Ohio state senate, convicted of aiding and abetting the alleged bribing of state senator, the state relied on me chanical device, the dictograph, high ly sensitized telephone, for its strong est evidence.
 The dictograph transmitter was se- created in a detectives room fin a ho- tel and a court stenographer in anoth- CT room, reported the conversation in which It was alleged bribes were of- fered and accepted.
 For the first time in the history of detective work this curious machine was used.
 A dictograph consists of series of sensitive metal plates set in a hard rubber cylinder In it's elements it is a telephone transmitter magnified. Used in a business way it enables a man to sit at his desk in his private office alone and talk off his correspond ence without the stenographer being

crease of pension for the widow of a soldier There were papers forwarded to him which bore on the case. and these he turned over to the committee on pensions after his bill had been introduced
 The widow did not get her money, and it was not long before the whole house knew why The member who had espoused the widows cause had been in congress for years, and the joke at his expense was too good to keep, and one after another of his colleagues walked up to his desk and congratulated him the wisdom shown in the plea which in written form he had turned In to the committee to win the widows
 
 It is perhaps needless to say that the mem Der had never read the plea. It set forth the fact that while the amount of pension increase the widow of the soldier hero asked for was large it must be understood that she came of good family, moved in the best social circles and was In need of a large sum of money to keep up appearances
 Upon occasion senators and representatives per init their constituents to do their talking for them in congress. Petitions come in floods at times, with the object of securing legislation by external pressure. In the Shoot case, and In the pure food and army canteen matters the pleas of the people came in by the tens of thousands. The members of both houses present these let ters call attention to their import and then allow the petition to do the rest if they are potent enough
 Senator Latimer of South Carolina once intro duced good roads bill calling for the expendi- ture of government millions for the improvement of the highways. The automobilists all over the country began sending letters of approval They pressed their friends into the writing service but that they did not always pass upon the persuasive merits of the friends productions is shown fair ly we'll by one letter on the good roads subject received by Senator Cullom It read like this:
 Dear Mir. Cullom Please vote for this d-d bill, and you will oblige fool friend of mine who automobile Yours more or less sincerely -"
 It a Chicago who wrote this appeal There were others like unto it. The good roads bill still sleeps.
 In the older days the school readers contained the story of "In Try Sir Miller" Probably everybody knows who m Try Sir Miller" was Certainly everybody ought to know Gen James Miller then a captain, was the hero of Lundy's Lane. He said he would try to do the thing necessary for the thrashing of the enemy and he did it. and "Il Try Sir" took the place of his Christian name James.
