INVENTED BY AN ENGLISHMAN At'the Recant Demonstration of the Weapon a Velocity Pf Sixty Miles S Minute Was Developed. New York.—Scientists and inventors discussed the remarkable qualities of a new gun, which. Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief engineer for Thomas A. Edison, claims may be de veloped to hurl a projectile of five tons from 200 to 300 miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from one to five miles a second. The noise it made at a de monstration sounded much like the click of a cash register though only a miniature weapon, with an eight-inch barrel, was used. Its projectile may be stopped in a sheet of steel with the precision of a 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 a velocity of one mile n second. He declared the high pow er rifles now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small pro jectiles, long barrels end about three times as mock powder as in need In the new weapon. The principle of burning powder, which doss not permit waste before the projectile even starts to move, has been applied in the gun. Dr. Hutchinson explained. The elml- natlon of a* loud report was obtained by confinement of expanding gas. r LESTER D. VOLK Covtgrwtmovt D.
