Leopold 4 replica OF the milionth
pistol, built of gold, was presented by
King Albert to the German Emperor
and accepted by William as pretty
memento Of a noteworthy achieve
ment. This happened last year just
before the war broke out.
Father Was Gunsmith.
Little known as he is. Browning
has been gun inventor all his life,
Il born one His father was Jonathan
Browning, a native of Tennessee. who
moved to Iowa in the early thirties
and conducted a gun store and tink-
ers shop near kanesville on Mosquito
creek. In 1882 Jonathan Browning
crossed the great plains with an OK
team, three months journey. and
settled in Ogden.
In his fathers shop in Ogden John
NJ Browning made his first gun at
the age of thirteen from iron taken
from his fathers scrap heap. In 1873,
when twenty five, Browning obtained
his first patent. 1t WAS for a breech
loading rifle In 1854 he perfected his
famous repeating rife, and in 1899

the United States army in the war

was correct, the gases, on the rifle
block of wood and would hurl the
weapon backward. The rife was fired
and. as expected, it was flung back
ward against the wall of the shop.
Browning's principle was established.
Very quickly the inventor had this
kick harnessed in such way that
the gas pressure was transferred to
the breech mechanism and made to
operate all the movements of the gun.
1t did so with such speed. after the
first pulling of the trigger, that no
fewer than 600 bullets could be fired
in a minute.
When applied in the automatic PTS
toll it was found that eight shells could
be discharged in the brief space of
one and three-ffths seconds. The re
suit was that these weapons were
quickly adopted by half a dozen gov
ernments for use in their armies and
navies.
Germans Use His Patents.

Liege the Germans. 1t is understood,
have been turning out weapons on the
Browning patents by the thousands at
the works of the Belgian Fabrique
National. Whether they have kept &C
curate count Of what they owe him
in the way of royalties Browning does
not know and will not hazard an
opinion.
Browning can never be induced to
saw ANYTHING definite as to the sum he
receives in ROYALTIES. To form an
estimate his friends find as difficult
as to gain an admission from the in
ventor himself Some Of his hundred
or more successful patents he has
sold outright From those which he
has placed on royalties his income
has been estimated at from 100000

IS RECOVERED
FROM CANAL

waterville, Me, July 15.-(Special).-
Dennis Morrow was drowned in the
Lockwood canal Thursday afternoon.
when he either jumped or fell from the
bridge of the waterville. Augusta &
Lewiston Street Railway. The canal
of the company was drained at the
close Of work at night and the body
was recovered and taken to Reding-
toms undertaking rooms. Morrow was
seen by several persons sitting on the
end Of the bridge overlooking the wa
ter but no one thought much about it..
Several young ladies were going into
the Office of the Lockwood Co. when
they heard cry and saw the man
standing erect on the bridge. He then
either jumped or fell into the river.
They gave the alarm and a prompt
search was made for the body but it
was impossible to locate it until the
water in the canal had been drained
partly out. Morrow was 26 years of age
and Is survived by a widow and two
small children. His wife is seriously
sick. Funeral arrangements had not
been made last evening.

The carmen in the employ OF the Wa
terville, Fairfield & Oakland Street
Railway have been given a voluntary
raise in pay by the management OF
the road which makes difference in
the payroll Of the company Of about
$4,000 per year. Under the old sched-
ule the first year men received Is
cents per hour, second year men 1871
cents per hour. and from the third
year on. IS cents per hour. The new
schedule gives them a raise Of one
cent per hour, 10 cents per day on all
classes, the first year men getting 16
to next year 17h and then 10. In adj
dition to this each day that q man
works his whole 10 hours he gets an
extra five cents, SO that for every full
day worked his raise is really Is cents.
Then there. are efficiency prizes which
amount to 50, So and 81 per month to
the men who make the best showing
for the month. In addition to this ev-
cry motorman receives an additional
bonus for keeping his car in the best
condition and reporting defects. The
conductors receive five cents for each

in the accuracy Of the men. The men
of the road are very grateful for the
increase as 1t was entirely unexpected
