Wonderful Invention.

The British war office has probably had it's fill of warlike inventions sub- mitted to it since August last, but one doubts if it has seen anything quite so wonderful as the machine of Scotch shoemaker in 1764. Details of the instrument are sadly lacking in the newspapers of the period, which
 described it, but it was announced as enabling six men to do as much as whole regiment. Forty-four thou- sand shots in two minutes was it's modest rate of fire, and by simply touching a spring one could make it present a harvest of bayonets" to the enemy. Further, it could be driven to pieces" in a moment if likely to be captured, and put together in minute and a half when the danger was past.
