A Wonderful Gun.

Since the Introduction OF g%unpowder
as a propellant and the general use Of
firearms In warfare and hunting there
has been a more or less insistent de-
mspd for mechnnisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number OF shots
at his command without %reloading and
enable them to be rapidly discharged
The first patent for a frearm Of this
description seems to have been issued
by the British patent Office in 171S to
James Puckie. 4 citizen OF London. for
a gun mounted upon a tripod. having q
single barrel and q revolving cylinder.
Strangely enough. one Of the claims set
forth In this patent appears almost YER
batim 1875 years later in a patent taken
out BY Rollin White. an American In
ventor Of 4 revolving pistol. Another
curious claim Of the patent was: 1.-THE
mechanism permits the use Of square
bullets against the Turk and round bull
lets against Christians. Moreover, SO
great Is the rapidity Of IRE that ships
armed with the gun cannot be boarded
by any attacking forces. J. Fort In

description were accustomed to walk
openly In Westminster hall with a
straw projecting from their shoes. thus
signifying hat they sought employ

An advocate who desired a conven-

find one. and the colloQuy between the

The best case which have seen OF

certain persons In their custody had
confessed themselves guilty OF the
