QUICK-FIRING GUNS.

AN INTERESTING STORY OF INVENTION.

Everybody knows the impartint part Which Maxim quick-firing guns have played in recent expeditions, but fow could tell how such guns came to be invental, or how mury difficulties have had to be overconte bringing them to their present state of perfection. On these latter poinle some ost interesting information was given by the investor himself, Mr Hirum S. Maxim, in a paper which he read before a crowded mesting the Royal United Service br stitution, Lieut.-Germl C. B. Ewart presiding. In 1864, Mr Maxim said, bu waa living with his incects in a little placu known as Orneville, in the State of Maine, where there was excullent water- power whore his father hand is g gris milla

At that time his father though of making a machine gun ou ́n palmeiple which would enable him to fire 100 rounds in a winute frem a single barrel. Then, said Mr Maxim, za he had become somewhat pro- ficient as a wood workur, and was proficient

upon him as the con te make the drawings and models. These were taken to a gan- maker, who thought the gun would work well, but that it would cost a lot of money. In the next two years drawings of various improvements were made, and these in turn wers Rant to a melo, who had engineering works at Fitchburg, Mass. The uncle reported that the gun would cost 100 delhits to make and when finished would not be worth a hundred cants. Dui ing the war his father vas most anxious 19 ges monia one to take up this new tire arm. Metallic cartridges had come in, and he thought it possible to soulce is very affective machine gun. But nothing chine of 11. fator however, he soon found himself in company with some ex-robels fring at a target with a Springfield Basket. He noticed that the musket gave him several days his shoulder falt lants. He told his father of this experience, and said he believed that the energy in the kick! of a military rifle would be amply sufficient to perform all the functions of louling and firing, so that if cartridges were strung.
