old woman that impressed him curl

that she was not altogether human.
He looked after her for a little while;
then. remembering that Slocum was
liable to come at any time. he returned
to the place where he had spent the
night. Slocum was not there yet, so he
lay down on his blanket to wait. Pres

heard that rustling among the bushes.
He sat up and listened for several min

missed the matter from his mind and
lay down again.
Along about noon Slocum came. He
carried Il gun and Il game bag, and any
one seeing him would suppose he was
going hunting. In reality. however, he
carried the gun and bag as a mere

Each Branch Of the Service Has Ito
Own Type Of Weapon.
Swords in the British army vary to
a very great extent, and practically
every branch of the service has it's own
type Of weapon. The difference is not
so much in the shape of the blade as
in that Of the hilt.
The sword used by the infantry has
a large ornamental guard, bearing the
slot at the top Of the guard for the
sword knot, really a leather loop end
ing in knot to prevent the loss of the
sword. The infantry sword is perfect
ly straight and is sharp on one edge
only.
Rife regiments have special sword
of their own with the rifle badge let
into the openwork guard. Very much
the same sort of sword, but with a still
more open guard, consisting Of three
curved bars, is used by the royal ar
tillery and army service corps. The
Royal engineers have gilt hilt on
their swords, distinction they prize.
The claymore of the highland regi-
ments has a big basket hilt lined with
red cloth and blue ribbons. The Off
GERS of some Scottish regiments carry

guard.

Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor, who died at his home in London, was an American by birth and English by adoption. He was born at Sanger vile, Me-, Feb. 5, 1S40, educated in the common schools and apprenticed to a coach builder. Later he became a mechanical draftsman and first showed his inventive faculties by the development of improvements in systems of gas illumination.
 In 1880 he went to Europe and took up the problem of the automa- tic gun. All modern machine guns are constructed on the automatic principle that Maxim invented
 The first Maxim gun was success fully tried out at Hatton Garden, Lon- don, in 1884. In order to realize it's full value Maxim then invented smokeless powder
 Maxim in 1894 made unsuccessful attempts to construct a flying ma chine. He was knighted in 1901.
