Extraordinary Gun.

The powderlcss, centrifugal gun has
long been the laughing stock Of ord
nance experts, according to The
Scientific American" in speaking Of
the latest weapon Of that type This
is the invention of n Boston man.
This weapon, which Is driven by
an electric motor is said TO shoot 33,-
eco round steel missiles a minute. or
555 second. At present the inventor
is not in a position to give details con-
corning his gun. except TO state that
il operates on the principle of a sling.
Each bullet is twirled on a disk at
great rate of speed and then re-
leased The ammunition is fed
through funncl-like arrangement
leading into two veins which center
upon an opening through which the
missiles are hurled with great velocity.
In recent test. the inventor
claims. the gun was turned on TO
sheets of three -tourth-inch steel sew
eral hundred feet away. The bullets
whipped through the steel as IL II
were paper. The missiles are small
steel balls similar TO ball bearings

Too Many Servants in Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister of national service, says the London Times. whether his attention has been called to the number of advertisements for servants In households of one, two or three persons. where seven to ten indoor servants are already kept. and whether he proposes to limit the num- Der of indoor servants employed in each household. The minister of na- tiOnal service replied that he had al- ready pointed out how essential 1t Is, in the national interest. that no per son should employ more servants than are absolutely necessary. The min ister trusts that the awakened con- sciences of those who have in this respect failed to appreciate their duty will provide an immediate and sufii- cient remedy. If not. he will tell his plan in the general statement on man power.

WORD FROM MILTON Focc
Letter Relieves Anxiety Felt by Parents
Here.

A letter received this week from Mil
ton Fogg, son of Frank f. Fogg. and
addressed to Mrs. Charles Miller. sis.
ter, gives the first news received from
the boy since the American soldiers got
INTO the fight in France. Milton has
just been released from the bospital
where he had been for three months re-
covering from wounds received in action
in France and fortunately has been able
to rejoin his regiment. He is a member
of supply company, 146th field artillery.
A. E. F.
This letter relieved much anxiety up
on the part of the father and other rel
atives of the boy from whom no word
has been had for months. The family
recently made inquiries through the war
department at Washington for news con
corning the wellbeing of the boy, and re-
ceived assurance that he was living and
well and Milton s letter. dated Sept. l,
1913, recently received by Mrs. Miller,
confirms the report
Milton enlisted for service with Com
pany &C" Of the Idaho National guard
at Lewiston, which company, after be-
ing sent to France, became a part of
the l46th field artillery which has been
in the fight and seen much hard fight
ing. For the three months during which
Milton was confined TO the hospital he
had lost touch with his regiment and
did not know its whereabouts, but soon
after his release from the hospital the
was sent back from the front
and he is again in the ranks and pro-
badly in the fighting. Milton is the
of three brothers who are all /
in the service, and was the first to see /
active service. His brother, Frank Fogg, !
r will soon he commissioned as second /
lieutenant at Camp Pike and Jay Fogg,
he eldest. at at Camp Lewis. Wn.
