A STREAM er LEAD.
THE MAXIM GUNS 'SHOOT 600
BULLETS A MINUTE.
The Outfit \Velghs Forty-Five Pounds and
Can Be Set Up in Fifty-Eight Seconds.
Test by Uncle Sam, and Probable Adop-
tion of the Guns for Our Anny.
Hiram S. Maxim has invented a ma.-
chine gun that can be carried around by
a soldier, set up somewhere as a. photo-
graph camera and fired 600 times a min-
ute. The muzzle can be mbved like a.
garden hose and made to direct a stream
of lead upon any point. It is claimed
that the stand makes it much more ac-
curate than any gun held to the
shoulder. -
It has exactly the same principle as
the Maxim quick firing gun used for
naval and artillery purposes, but it is a
smaller edition, making the gun practic-
able for infantry use. Its calibre is .303.
It has a range of 3,200 yards and sends a.
bullet at a velocity of 1,850 feet a.
second. A bullet from it will go through
40 inches of oak.
At a. recent trial at Sandy Book, the
gun was set up at the end of 2-. long row
of heavy artillery, such as those 12-inch
rifles which sent a. goodly proportion of .
a ton of steel into the ranks of an ene-
my. It looked something like a brass
telescope, with a pistol butt instead of a
peep hole, the whole set upon a. tripod.
Uncle Sam’s soldiers, used to handling
enormous cannon, looked somewhat con-
temptuously at it as if it were only a
toy.

MAXIM CAVALRY GUN.
James Huber, expert for the Maxim-
Nordenfelt Gun Company , handled the
gun. It is fed :with cartridges from a
sort of cartridge belt made of canvas,
holding 100 shells.
First of all Mr. .Huber fired fifty
shots. This little feat occupied five and
four-fifths seconds. The bullets flew
through the air 150 feet apart, and there
was a continuous stream of empty shells
from an aperture under the barrel.
Seven empty shells were in the air con—
stantly on their way to the ground.
As the light gun is used bp the infan-
try, it is important to ascertain how
quickly it can be taken from the pack-
ing case and put into action.
Expert Huber hung it over his shoulder
in marching order. At a. word from
Capt. Heath he was supposed to sight an
enemy concealed in the bush ahead of
him and immediately began to take out
the gun. He put it together, unpacked
. his cartridges and fired his first shot
fifty-eight'seconds after the alarm was
given.
Masters Twenty Languages.
Prof. H. Soerlin. of Chicrgo, says that
a man who speaks seven languages is
not remarkable on that account. This
was drawn from him by an article print
ed relating to a young lawyer who could
write briefs in that many languages.
Prof. Soerin claims no ability at law
pleading in any language, but he can
teach singing in twenty. He says he is
amaster of the following twenty lan-
guages: .
English, Hebrew, SansCrit, ancient
Greek, modem Greek, Latin. German,
Low German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Polish, Russian, Dutch. Swedish. Nor-
wegian, Danish, Bohemia: , Hugarian
and Portuguese. He has acquired these
languages as an amusement. I-Iis busi-
ness is teaching of vocal music. He is
tired of singing, however, and wants to
be an in serpreter.
Prof. Soerin talked the other day con-
cerning his singular linguistic talents.
He is a remarkably small man, 50 years
old, with this. black hair, wide mouth,
spectacles. . ixptirently no eyes. He
was friendi_5 ....- voluble in conversa-
tion, and i: was evident that he had
some acquaintance with many languages.
He was asked to write the words “God
made the. work-” in all the languages he
professed to know. He did so withouta.
moment’s hesitation, adding Chinese,
Coptic. Syrian and Turkish to those al-
ready mentioned. '
The correct-ness of his spelling in all
those tongues is not certified. He apol-
ogized when he wrote the sentence in
Chinese, saying “J oss” was the best
translation for God the language af-
forded.
Quite So.
Beverly—What is the difference be-
tween collusion and collision?
Austen—If you and I should come in-
to collision and you had me arrested for
assault and then agreed to settle the
matter out of court the difference would
be between u and i.

He Brought Them Home From ‘His Trix:
Around the World.
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the Tribune
and last campaign‘s Republican candi
date for the vice-pres' ency, arrived re-
cently in New York from a year’s trip
abroad, wearing a brand new set 01
whiskers, grown in the land of Egypt.
Advance notices had it that they had
been developed as a hedge against Sahara
sand.
While Mr. and Mrs. Reid were en-
camped in the desert the whole party
were very nearly overwhelmed bya sand
storm. It began in the middle of the
night. The. first gust swept the tent
from its fastenings and spread the suf-
focating canvas over the sleepers. Then
it was swept away into the night, leav-
ing them all at the mercy of the blind-
ing, choking clouds of sand. The min-
ute particles cut into‘their flesh, got in

their eyes and mouths and buried them
in its drifts. It flowed down their backs,
filled their shoes and every fold in their
clothes. The force of the blasts blew
the particles even through the chinks in
their trunks, and when the bags and
boxes were opened later they were found
to be full of sand. The almost imper-
ceptible particles were driven between
the leaves of the books in these bags
and boxes. The storm lasted seven
hours.
At the outbreak of the storm the
camel drivers, who had seen such things
before, piled the camel saddles about
Mr. and Mrs. Reid and covered their
heads with blankets, Then they built
up a. bulwark of trunks and lay prostrate
while the suffocating blasts continued.
The seven hours of the storm were hours
of agony. Every one in the party was
almost suffocated by the sand and when
it was over they arose as if from the
dead. The faces of all were cut and sore
from the flying sand and their eyes were
red and aching.
UNGR/ATIFIED DESIRE.
He Failed to Meet the New Yorker Be
“’as hIost Anxious to See.
I
One day on Broadway car took a
seat beside an old chap whose every
look told of Uncle Josh and haystacks,
and I was scarcely down before I no-
ticed that he was eyeing me very sharp-
ly. By and by he put his hand up to his
mouth and whispered behind it:
“Say! Iwant to ask ye sunthin!"
“All right.” '
“VVon’t git mad and hit me on the
nose?”
“Certainly not.”
“Wall, I want to ask if you’re a pick-
pocket.”
“Why do you ask?”
“Because I’m allus rezdin’ about ’em,
and afore I left home I told the old
woman I was goin’ to keep my eyes
open and try and ketch onto one.”
"You want to see what he looks
like?"
“That‘s it—that’s it.”
“W ell, I’m sorry to disappoint you”,
but I’m no pickpocket.”
“Pshaw, but I jest hoped you was!”
he exclaimed, in disappointed tones.
“When you came in the door I said to
myself that you was a reg’lar pick-
pocket and I’d better take good look
at you. It’s not your fault, of course,
but I kinder felt put out about it.”
“If I were a pickpocket it would be
an easy matter to get that watch of
yours.” '
“Would it!” he chuckled. “Wall,
mebbe so, but the chain is tied to my
pocket with a string and the watch is in
my left bootleg. I’ve got an old wal-
let here, but she’s empty, and. them $27
is down in t’other bootleg with my jack-
knife and five nickels. Say, it's too
blamed bad you hain’ta pickpocket. I
jest wanted ye to fumble around for
about half an hour, and then I was
goin’ to tickle ye in the ribs and ha! ha!
ha! and ask if yer mother knew ye was
out to-day and if ye smelt anythin’ like
new-mown hay around here!”——Detroit

Sunday Homes.
Anovel co-operative system has lately
been started among the carpenters and
painters of San Francisco through which
the individual workmen are becoming
owners of their own homes without any
cost for construction.
As soon as any member of the local
organization has saved enough money to
buy a. lot and the necessary lumber all
his fellow workmen turn to the next
Sunday and build the house for him. In
one of the suburban additions of the city
a. little colony of these “Sunday homes"
has already grown up. ._ The houses are
not pretentious, but are solidly built and
comfortable. » There are ten houses in
this colony that have been thus built by
the carpenters and painters for their fel-
low workmen, and it is expected that
during this summer as many more will
be putup at similar Sunday “building
bees.’,’, ,
But for this helpful system the work-
men would probably never be able to
