THE MAXIM GUN.
Curious Origin, of This is Terrible Engine
of Destruction.
The origin of the Maxim gum was
pomewhat curious. Mr, Maxima (Sir
Hiram) after the close of thé great
civil war in America was visiting one
of the southern battlefields. He picked
up a Springfield rifle and began firing
at a target. He soon discoverdd, to his
amazement, that his shoulder was all
black and blue with the recoié. This
set him thinking, and he sdgn con-
celved the idea of utilizing this force
fn a gun which would fire automatic-
ally.
He went to London full of his idea,
but no one would listen to him. In
Birmingham the chief man in 4 fac-
tory refused to make a bolt gun,
In despair Mr, Maxim packed up his
trunks and went to Paris. fi two
weeks the work was done. 118 gun
Mr. Maxim exhibited in Lolgoh in
1885. He spoke of it then as {le gun
of the future. It is now the. gun of the
present. It Is a wonderful gun and a
deadly one. By adjusting the !ndica-
tor it will fire bullets at any rate from
one per minute to 600,
This terrible weapon Is started by
the firing of the first shot. After that
it works itself and will keep going as
long us cartridges can be fed into the

an order for the gun they stipulated
that it should not weigh more ‘han a
