struction work. In the New York
demonstration threaded steel bolt
was driven through a three-inch steel
plate. The gun was held in imme-
date contact with the plate, and the
charge was measured SO that the
bolt stopped in the plate. The threads
were left intact, and g nut was
screwed on. 1t is believed by the
inventors that the machine will here
after be used instead of the present
method of drilling steel.
The charge wa5 20 grains of ordi-
nary smokclcss powder.
The gun resembles an air compress
sion drill. Observers could easily
have thought that the force was
compressed air, the witnesses state
today. There was no recoil, no
smoke, practically no heat, only a
faint kissing sound of escaping gaas
after the discharge.
1t is said that the operation of the
gun is as successful under water as
in the air.

Declares.

New York. Sept, 23.-True lovers
reed not shy off at the mention OF
the word "eugenics." Eugenists do
not desire 20 abolish love as guide
10 the selection of mates In marriage,
but only wish to purify it of all harm
full effects,
This Is the reassuring message
brought TO American young men and
women by Major Leonard Darwin, one
of England's leading eugenists. and
son of Charles Darwin. originator of
the Darwinian theory of evolution.
Speaking before the second interna-
tional congress of eugenics, which
opened last night. Major Darwin de-
plored the popular misconception
which credits Ia eugenists the desire
TO substitute cattle breeding princi-
pies for romance.
"If young people We're always al
lowed to follow their natural inclina-
tions," he declared their mating
usually would be wise from the stand
point of euRenics, But many mar
riages which are made for wealth or
social position do not tend to better
the human race"
Segregation of the feeble minded and
other subnormal types is the most i'm
portant end for which eugenists arc
striving, Major Darwin declared.
