making fame, of London, England.
Sir Hiram Maxim is a genius Of more
than one kind Of invention. and he has the
Imagination Of poet. The facts on which
he based these extravagant fancies were
merely as follows: I changed my name
from Isaac to Hudson forty years ago, when
/ was a young man in school in Maine, and
seventeen years before the Maxim gun was
invented. I did what Roscoe Conklin and
General Grant both did. changed my first
name. General Grants name was originally
Hiram Ulysses Grant, and he changed it to
Ulysses S. Grant, dropping the Hiram.
The gun designed by me would have a
striking energy Of $4,000 foot tons and a
range Of nine miles at maximum elevation.
There is where he got the $4,000 and the
nine miles. The rest was the product Of
creative imagination.
Sir Hiram also claims that the Spanish
people at the time, thinking that he was
the Maxim referred to in the American
newspapers who was offering the United
States Government this big gun to be

the Government bought from me its secret.
It was found that this explosive. although

that armor-piercing projectiles charged
with It could be fired through the heaviest
armorplate without exploding until set OF
by the delay-action fuse.
The Government also instituted a long
series Of exaeting experiments with my
fuse. which resulted in its adoption and
purchase by the United States Government

The principle Of my resonant recorder
depends on the phenomenon known in
music as resonance or sympathetic vibra-
ton. We may be SO tuned as to thrill to
certain notes and not to others. In the
same manner, if the strings Of different
violins are exactly tuned together, then
the note sounded on one will cause the
others to vibrate In sympathy.
I'VE may likewise tune a vibrating
writer with music4l reed. Suppose the
reed and the writer had both been tuned

W posed, we may begin to think It
useless to try to escape certain diseases

Such is not the right conclusion. We

the big warships Of the English.
These big howitsers, having a range al
most large enough to compass everything

almost as far as the eye could reach, and
although their high angle fire would not be

By Hudson Maxim

TT has been a subject Of much wonder
that the Germans should have been
able to build in secret and keep a
secret their big howitzers until the present
war broke out, II IS truly wonderful that
the Germans could have secretly made and
tested these Big guns and learned that an
army equipped with them could laugh at
forts. Certain Il is that the Germans did
have these guns. and that they knew be-
torehand that the forts Of Liege and Namur
and the Notifications Of Antwerp could
not hold against them.
The destruction which such projectiles
are capable Of doing when exploding in any
kind Of fertilization is something colossal.
These projectiles are veritable aerial tor
pedoes.
Germany's exclusive accomplishment OF
The great achievement was no. due to the
TACT that the idea originated with the Ger
mans, nor to the fact that they kept the
Idea secret, for the idea did not originate
with the Germans, and it was no secret
when they utilized H.
In 1897 / delivered a lecture before the
Royal United Service Institution OF Great
Britain, where exhibited the design Of
canyon having calibre Of twenty-four
inches and length of sixteen ealibres. This
gun was Just half an inch larger than the
biggest German howltzer. The weight Of
the gun designed by me was forty-three
tons The weight of the twenty-three-and-
a-halfinch German howitzer is forty-ave
tons The weight Of my torpedo projectIe
was 2 700 pounds, and it was designed to
carry ha'f a ton of high explosive. It was
also provided with a delay-action fuse,
which would enable it to penetrate deep in
earthworks OF through armorplate Of con-
siderable thickness before exploding.
The range Of the big German howitzer is
said to be nine miles at maximum eleya-
ton. The calculated range Of the gun Of
my design was also nine miles at maximum
elevation.
The fact that my gun was designed for
the use Of multi-perforated progressive
burning smokeless powder, whereby higher
velocities could be had with lower pres
sures than with other powder. enabled me
to make my gun somewhat lighter. al
though longer, than the German howitzer.
The greater length Of my gun increased
materially the accuracy Of fire. There

gun designed by me and exhibited in 1897
seventeen years ago-resembles very
closely in weight, calibre and performance

the use Of the vacuum cleaner and oil mop,
but the dangers may be greatly reduced
by the use of little thoughtful Judgment
on the part Of parents and children.
A person might as well gather up straws
and sticks from the gutter and use them as
toothpicks as to pluck straw from a
broom and use it for such a purpose. And
the same holds true Of the custom which
prevails among some housewives Of using
broom straws to see how well done loaf
Of bread or cake is.

on, the size Of the target would be the
cross-seetion~ the beam Of the vessel
above water. This would be about 100
square feet for each howitzer boat, and for
the forty OF them it would be forty times
100 square feet, or 1900 square feet; while
the size Of the target presented by the
dreadnought would be the area Of the deck
plus twenty-hve-foot zone around the YES
sci. making the total area Of the target pre-
scented by the dreadnought 10000 square
feet. This>is an area ten times as great
as the total area Of the target presented
by all the forty hoWItZer boats; so that the
howitzer boats would have not only the ad-
vantage in numbers over the dreadnought
of forty to one, but also an advantage in
area Of target Of ten to one, making total
advantage Of 400 to one.
This tremendous advantage certainly
ought to balance the greater accuracy OF
fire Of the guns Of the dreadnought. For
surely the gunners OF the dreadnought
would hardly be able to score 400 hits for
each one scored by the gunners on the
howitzer boats.
