piece band. which has acquired n
Statewide reputation.

INVENTED BY An ENGl|sHMAN
At the Recent Demonstration Of the
Weapon Velocity Of Sixty Miles

New York k,-Scientists and inventors
discussed the remarkable qualities OF
9 new gun, which DR.. Miller Reese
Hutchinson, former chief engineer for
Thomas A. Edison, claims may be de-
veloped to hurl projectile Of five tons
from 200 to 800 miles. Its velocity, he
declared, ranges from one to five miles
q second. The noise 1t made at a de-.
monstration sounded much like the
click Of cash register though only a
miniature weapon, with an eightinch
barrel, was used. Its projectile may
be stopped in sheet Of steel with
the precision Of trolley car.
The gun is the invention of John
Temple, an Englishman, who develop.
ed the idea in this country.
The demonstration gun used by DR..
Hutchinson had velocity of one mile
. second. He declared the high pow.
er rifles now in vogue obtain their
velocity through the use of small pro.
jectiles, long barrels and about three
times as much powder as is used in
the new weapon. The principle of
burning powder, which does not permit
waste before the projectile even starts
to move, has been applied in the gun,
DR.. Hutchinson explained. The elmi

by confinement of expanding gas.

COMMENCEMENT.

Quite a large number of form

glad to welcome its friends back.
The closing exercises were of
a very high order. On Tuesday
evening came the annual play by

hundred dollars were realized
for this important fund.
The main day of the occasion
was Wednesday and the expec-

the coming of the Governor, and
it can be we'll imagined how keen
was the disappointment when a
message was received stating
that at the last moment it was

However, he sent worthy rep

Keen as was the disappointment
at the disappointmentat at the Gov

speaking that he was, indeed, a
