African Ants.

These insects sometimes set for
ward in such multitudes that the
whole earth seems to be In motion. A
corps of them once was seen to at.
tack and cover an elephant quietly
feeding in a pasture. In eight hours
nothing was to be seen but the skele-
ton of that enormous animal complete
ly picked. The business was done, and
the enemy marched on after fresh
prey. Such power have the smallest
creatures acting in concert.

History Of the Gun.

Since the introduction of gunpowder
as a propeller and the general use OF
firearms in warfare and hunting, there
has been a more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number OF
shots at his command without reload
ing, and enable them to be rapidly dis.
charged The first patent for a fire.
arm of this description seems to have
been issued by the British patent Of
fee in 171S, to James Puckle, a citi
zen Of London, for a gun mounted
upon tripod, having a single barrel
and revolving cylinder. Strangely
enough, one Of the claims set forth in
this patent appears almost verbatim
1870 years later. in a patent taken ont
by Rollin White, an American invent.
or of revolving pistol. Another GU
rious claim of the patent was:
THE mechanism permits the use of
square bullets against the Turk and
round bullets against Christians !;
moreover, so great is the rapidity of
fire, that ships armed with the gun
cannot be boarded by an attacking
force. IS. j. Fort in the Outing Mag
