1t Is several years since John Hays

experts were sent to inspect the inven-
ton and put IL to the test, and one
after another they gave their unquali-

and offered him fabulous sums for IL.
Many other inventors, after slight
experience with the red tape which
must be unwound in dealing with their
own government, have sold their in

warfare, and where they would be-
turned against the United States In
the event Of conflict. Hammond'N
patriotism, however. made him reject
European offers and wait for his own
government to act, Thomas +. Logan
writes In Leslie's. Congress finally
made an appropriation Of $750.OOO for
the purchase Of the device, which IL

ically at Shrewsbury, is mentioned by
Shakespeare. The earl himself was
man of high ability, and when he was
sober, which happened perhaps once IN
four or five years, he was said to have
the most charming manners. But he
kept himself picked nearly all the
lime, and his charming manners were
not In evidence. He flew into sense
less RACES over nothing, conceived vio-
lent prejudices against people, and al
ways was threatening to kill one per-
son or another. lie was SO cruel to his
wife that she applied to parliament
for relief, and parliament granted her
separate maintenance, with the rev.
enues from certain farms and other
property.
William Johnson was his lOrdship's
steward, and because he had To pay
money from the estate to the lady the
earl began to hate him bitterly. He
got the idea In his sodden mind that
there was too much Johnson In the
negotiations, and determined upon
Johnson's destruction. He prepared for
the crime deliberately notifying John
son 10 attend upon him at II certain
hour In the afternoon. AS the hour
approached the earl managed To send
everybody away from the place, with
the exception of two or three maid
servants. Johnson appeared for the
interview promptly on time, and the
earl handed him paper and told him
10 sign 1t. The paper was confess
sion of all sorts of crimes and crooked
ness on the part of Johnson, and he
refused to sign 1t, and began to ex'
postulate, but the earl produced PTS
tol and told him 10 get on his knees
Johnson fell upon his knees and then
+. the .nQbleman shot him. He fingered
until the next day, when he died.
Then the earl barricaded himself IL
