An 1rn;ior1:mt memorandum on the pro
cv'ilniK whu'h ur advisable in places at
tm k. or threu'eunl with epidemic disease,
which hr.s been drawn up by Dr. (leoriro
llui'lminm, V. II. N., lias lx.cn ismed to sani
tary aMli'ii: ie by the I,o;al Government
Haul. In tlw memorandum, says tho
Itiilnn 7'. it ! stilted that whenever
there is pn v.i! -nco or threatening of chol
era, (tplitln rl.i, fever fr uny other epidemic
uUcime, it m of more than common Impor
tance that the statutory jHiwers confer rod
ujM-n sanitary authorities fur tho protection
f-f tho public health should Ikj well exer
cised by those authorities art in;,' with tho
advice of their medical oflVcrs of health.
Proper precautions uro fpially rcrjuiiito
for all t'laxo of nocn-ty. Hut it is chiclly
with rrjranl to t!if i.rrr wiptilaMon, thcra
forts tiiirlly In the courts and nllrya of
towna, iiikI ut tho laiM.rcrs cottaon of
country cliHtricta, tliat locul uuthoritica aro
rallril uMn to cxmcUo vigilance und to
proffer liif.'riuatioti ami advice. Common
IcmIUiu hoiiocit und houacn which aro aub
Irt In acvcral small holdings always require
particular attention.
Wherever thorn is accumulation, atink or
aoakitk'nof hou. refusoor of other decay
ing animal or veirctublo matter, tho nul
aaitca should us uromptly as ossll)io bo
ahatel, und preeautiou should bo taken not
to let It recur. F.Mviully examination
ahould lx nrndo as to tho eni.-icnt working
of sewer nud drains, und any defect there
in and any mus.incn therefrom or from uny
fii'iUlitrh. s or pomls should Im Cot rid of
vrlthout delay. Tho venMlation of sewers,
the ventilation und trapping of houo draina
and the. tliscoriricwtloii of cistern nverllowa
and sink pipes from drains shouM lo euro
fully seen to. Tha scavenpin of the district
and tho stato of receptacles for excrement
and of dust bins will rcquira closo attention.
In slaughter-houses, und wherever animala
aro kept, strict cleanliness should bo en
forced. In tho removal of filth during pyriodsof
epidemic disease it Is commonly ncrcssary
to employ chcmiAal ap-nt for rtnluclmr or
removing the ofTonse ami harm which may
ho Involved In tho disturbance of tho tilth.
In tho removal of privy contents theso
aceuts aro more particularly wanted If tho
diM-nso in question lo cholera or cnterlo
fever. Tho chemical aient should bo used
lllxTally over all exposed aurfacea from
ishii h filth has Im-ch removed. Unpavcd
farth close Indwelling, if it bo sodden with
plops or nith, ought to bo treated in tho
aaaio way.
Hourvca of water supply shouM bo well
rxamlned. Water from sources which ran
!o In any wny tainted by uinaial or vegwta
blo refus, tpy-lally tho-io into which thero
may to any leakage or nitration from sow
rrs, drains, cesspoils, or foul ditches ought
no longer to l drutiU. AIhivo all, whero
the diseuso Is cholcr.i, diarrhea, or enteric
fever, it Is essential that no impuro water
It il runic
Tho liability of leahy p'pea to net as land
drains and to receive foul matters us well
ft laud dralmttfo through their IcuUs is not
to l overlooked. And such leaky pipes,
running full of water with cunsi.lernbio ve
locity, are liablo to receive, by lateral In
duction at their points of leakug.-, external
matters that may 1)0 dangerous. This lat
ter fact is not roeognled so generally as It
ahould be, mid Ignorance of It has probably
bafilcd many Inquiries In c-aes where water
services bare In truth been tho means of
apteiullng diseaso.
If, unfortunately, tho only water which
for U time can lo got should bo oen to auv
plclon of dangerous organic impurity, it
ought at least to !o boiled before it is ucd
for drinking, but then not to bo drank later
than twenty fonr hours after it has been
boiled. FiUcring o tho ordinary kind can
not by Itself be trusted to purify water. It
can not bo too distinctly underatood that
dangerous qualities of water are not obvW
nted by tho addition of wine or spirits.
When there apiK'nra any probable relation
between the distribution of diseaso and luilk
auppllca, tho cleanliness of dairloa, the
purity of tho water used In them, the health
of tho persons employed about them, and
tho health of tho cows that furnish milk
ahould always Ihj carefully investigated.
Even apart from nny npprehenslon of milk
being concerned In a particular outbreak of
disease, It is desirable that Knglish people
should adopt tho custom, which Is always
followed In some continental couutries, of
lioiling all milk at onco upuii Its reception
Into a house.
Tho washing and llme-whiting of unclean
ly promises,? penally of such as nredenscly
nccupii"d," should bo pressed with all practi
cable disp;itch.
Overcrowding should be prevented, l's
pcclally wtiero diseaso has begun, tho sick
room should, as far as ossiblo, be frco
trout persons who are sot of use to the pa
tient Ample, ventilation should bo Inforccd. It
ahould bo awn that tho windows aro mado
to open, and that they aro sufllcieutly
opened. Especially where any kind of in
fective fever has begun, It Is vsscutial,
both for patients und for persons who are
nlout them, that tho sick room and tho sick
bouse be eonstuntly traversed by streams
tf fresh air.
The cleanliest domestic habits should bo
t njolned. Kcfuse matters should bo speed
ily removed or destroyed; and things which
bave to be disinfected r cleansed should
always be disinfected or cleanse without
delay.
Hpeelol preeuntlons of cleanliness and dis
Inroction are neccsjary wltli regard to In
fective matter discharged, from tho bodies
ftlMK'k. Among discharges which It 1
pror-r to treat us Infective are thoso which
ttne In iis. of small pox and scarlatina
from tho H.Tivted skin; In casvs of cholera
und enteric fever from the Intestinal canal;
la cases of diphtheria and scarlatina from
the nose tnd throat; likewise, in cases of
nr eruptive or other epidemic fever, the
trcnorsl exhalations of the sick. The enutlon
which I necessary with regard to snch
tnatters must, of cours extend to whatever
l lmbuxl with them; so that holding, cloth
ing, towels, hsndkerchiefs, and other arti
cles which have been In use by tho sick
luay not bconie sources of mischief, cither
In the house to which they belong or In the
bous to which they aro conveyed. Ho far
as articles of this class can bo replaced
by rags or things of small value, it is best
tousosuch things and bum them when
they arc soiled. I Hhorwiso clothing and Info-ted
articles ahould bo subjected to tho
disinfectant of the sick room, or be removed
for disinfection by heat
In enteric fever and cholera the evacu
ation should be regarded as capable of com
municating an Infectious quality to any
liUhUoil wilh which ther aro mingled In
privies, drains, or cessjiools; and after
pat h disinfection of tho mass Is ir"cUcab'a.
tney should bo disposod 0f without delay
and under tho safest conditions that local
circumstances permit They ahould not be
thrown Into any fixed priry receptacle, and
alove oil they must never be cast where
they can run or soak Into sources of drink
In water.
All reasonable care should bo taken not
to allow Infective diseaso to spread by the
unnecessary association of sick with healthy
Iersons, This cur is requisite, not only
with regard to the sick bouse, but likewise
with regard to schools and other establish
ments where In members of many different
households are accustomed to meet.
If diseaso begins in bouses where the
sick person can not Ihj properly accommo
dated and tended, medical advice should be
taken us to the propriety of removing him
to an Infirmary or hospital. Every sanitary
authority should have in readiness a hospit
al for the rereption of such cases.
Where dangerous conditions of resi
dences can not bo promptly remedied it
will bo best that tho Inmates, while unat
taeked by disease, remove to aomo safer
lodging. Privation, as predisposing to dis
ease, may require special measurssof relief.
In certain cases sjK.vi.il medical arrange
ments aro necessary. For Instance, as cases
of cholera in this country often begin some
what gradually in tho comparatively tract
able form of what is called " promouitory
diarrhea," it is Chueutial that, where cholera
has appeared, nrrangemeuts should bo
niaV for affording medical relief without
delay to persons attacked even slightly
With looseness of lowds. Ko, again, when
small-ox Is tho prevailing dUease, it is es
sential that all unvaccinatod jcrsons (un
less they previously have had small-pox)
should very promptly bo vaccinated; and
that revaccination should bo performed in
cases piicrly requiring it
DESS AND RUBE.
Th M ron jf Attsrlimoiit of ho Elephant
for a Nvttrr D05.
" Nothing h more curious and interesting
among the many straiirro things to bo noted
in and ubout u menagerie," said tho veteran
manager James M. Nixon to a New York
Sim reporter, "than tho dovo'cd affection
th.it elephants frequently demonstrate for
dogs. Tho big pachyderms form no other
attachments so strong and enduring, and
tho dogs seem to rociprooato the fooling.
"Onaof the best Illustrations that 1 ever
saw was tho love between IVss and ltubo.
I'.oss wae a female eleph int that wo had in
tho Ilarnum show in WlM, and Uube was a
seiter dog. Ioss was never eay when
llube waa out of her sight Her keen little
eyes would follow his tovery movement if ho
was frisking about, and if ho disappeared
she would utter a littlo scream that would
bring him gallantly back to her in a hurry.
Nhe never sectnod so happy as when ho was
lying asleep on tho hay in front of her, with
her big trunk waving over him. One time
ltubo pot sick. She took tho best caro of
him that sho knew how in hr clephantino
way. Kho made a buneh of hay about a foot
thick and largn enough for him to lie eoiled
upon and in some way mado him under
stand that ho should lie down upon it Then
she deftly worked her bij trunk around
under tho buurh of hay so as to take it up,
with him on it, as a woman takes up a sick
baby on a pillow, nnd there she held him
ond gently swunj him to and fro all night
long, rocking and lulling him to sleep. In
tho morning ho was well again, and Hoss
appeared as happy us a mother who had
nursed her child through a sped of illness.
" While wo were showing in Poston I
happened to mention to a group of rejiort
crs one day the strong affection lless
showed for Kul. They evidently consid
ered it a 'circus fairy story,' and were not
delicate iu saying so. Very well,' I said,
If any of you doubt it, Just get llubc away
from Poss a little disUnco and hurt him
slightly, enough to mako him yelp.' 1
hadn't any idea that they'd do it and I
didn't stop to think of where Pess might
lx and whether sho was chained or not
The fact was that sho was at tho time go
ing through a rehearsid In the ring, loose,
und Kubo was sitting up on a folded carpet
some way off. Tho reporters left me and
strolled out into the canvas. Pretty soon
they edged around to where Ilubo was, and
one of them gavo his tail a twist which the
dog Instantly remarked loudly. Pess, at
the sound of his yelp, wheeled around into
tho ring, threw up her trunk with a shrill
scream of rage, und started out for thoso
reporters. They (low. There was no time
for explanation, nrgumcnt or dignitled leis
ure Tho forty or fifty employes who were
standing about ran too. Pess stopied at
Uu!h and when she saw that ho wasn't so
rlously hurt she calmed right down, walked
back to the ring and went on with the ro
hearsal. " When wo were going to Lowell from
Poston, Kube, w ho had a sore foot, was put
in one of tho baggage wagons and sent on
ahead. When they oamo to start tho ele
phants for the march Pess missed her ct
und broke out la ojh-ii rebellioa Kho stood
nnd trumpeted for him, snorted, and
tramped around in excitement, and would
not bo driven. Tho other elephants began
to sharo her excitement, and a man had to
bo sent on a swift horse after Kubo. The
wagon ho was on cume back. Tho doors
were thrown open so that Pess could see
him. Mie went up to him, touched him
gently oil over with her trunk, blinked at
him, mado a succession of sounds that
sounded like the blowing off of steam from
tho exhaust pipof a boiler, and then jogged
along behind him contentedly all tho way,
tho doors of the wagon being kept open."
The Travels of m Check.
iiome weeks ugo a promlnont real estate
dealer iu Los Angeles handed a gentleman
a check for VX) in a doaL The recipient
of it having somo littlo obligations out
standing as the result of too much boom
quietly indorsed It and handed it to a cred
itor, and thus it started on its mission of
charity, love and business. In duo courso
of time it turned up in the hands of tho
original drawer of it with no less than fif
teen indorsements'on the back. It hud paid
f.'J7,5)0 in debts, made fifteen men happy
and returned to its drawer.
Crea' Jingo,
Mr. Plaino is nothing if not bold. When
he found, says tho Cincinnati Enquirer, that
it would bo vain of tho Republican party to
douy its responsibility for tho great trusts
of this country, ho set ubout demonstrating
that they worn not such bad things after
all that they were purely private concerns,
and not to bo interfered with by uny one.
Again, when the President's message had
mado it muni font to the whole laud that
nothing but tho partisanship of tho Repub
lican Senators had prevented a wise ami
satisfactory settlement of the Canadian
question, ho takes tho bull by the horns and
oeuiy declares that none but tho Repub
lican party should be ormilted to settlo it
In tho Associated Presj report (undoubtedly
revised by himself) of Mr. Blaino's Water
Villo speech ivcurs this iw.ss.ige:
"The speaker believed that Congress
would not gratify tho President, und that
the American people would put the whole
question over to next year, by which time
the Popublieau Administration would bo in
power, when tho question could bo equitably
settlod." That this has beer, throughout
tho guiding purposo of the Republican Sen
ators is plain to all, but all of them have
lacked either tho honesty or courage to ad
mit it. Indeed, a more audacious declara
tion has rarely been heard In the history of
American politics. Retaliation is to be
force!, war invited and jingo played to its
full limit but no Democratic Administra
tion is to be permitted to relieve the situa
tion. The people aro to bo persuaded that
our fishermen have been wronged, our flag
Insulted and the dignity of our Nation en
dangered, but all this must be kept a-going
until the Republicans can como in and fix it
up. Mr. Plaino is a very bold man.
Tli Tariff Is m Tax.
It is conceded on all sides, says tho De
troit Frrt rrr, that the tariff Uxes tho peo
ple directly and indirectly something like
fl.HUXii.uiO annually. Tho advocates of
the war tariff insist that the tax is a good
thing, and espcially for tho working-men.
Tins can only be true if tho working-man
gets back more than his share of the tax.
If be gets only his fair sharo or, in other
words, If the tax is fairly divided there is
no need of laying it If tho working-man
gets less than bis share, the tax is a rob
bery so far as be is concerned. Is there
any working-man who believes he gets his
fair share of the tax paid to maintain the
vrarUrtHI Docs anybody beliovo It! Fos
ter, certainly, of the RepublujAU League,
does not believe it IIo behoves that the
manufacturers get all the beaoflt from the
tariff tax ; and he wants them to turn in a
big portion of their gains to tho Republican
party, which gave them the tariff and keeps
it up for their beact
A WIFFS DEVOTION.
The Story of a Helpless Victim of
r.usfelan Cruelty.
OvUlae ef a tTell-Aatbrntlcated Tragedy
Illustrating the Terribt Hardships
Incident to Exile by Administra
tive Irocse.
fn the year 1870 there was living in the
town of Ivangorod, in the province of
Chermigof, a skillful and accomplished
young surgeon named Dr. Paillie, write
Mr. Oeorge Ken nan in one of bis Century
articles on Russia. Although he was a
man of liberal views, be was not an agita
tor nor a revolutionist and had taken no
active part in political affairs. Some time
in tbo late winter or early spring of lb79
there came to him, with letters of intro
duction, two young women who bad been
studying in one of tho medical schools for
women in St Petersburg, and had been ex
pelled and ordered, to return to their
homes in central Russia on account of their
alleged political " untrustworthiness '
(ncblagonudezhnost). They were very
anxious to completo their education and to
fit themselves for useful work among tho
peasants; and they begged Dr. Baillie to
aid them in their studies, to hear their
recitations, and to allow them to make use
of his library and the facilities of his
office. As they were both in an "illegal"
position that is, were living in a placo
where, without permission from the
authorities, they had no right to be it was
Dr. Puillio's duty as a loyal subject to hand
them over to the police, regardless of the
fact that they had como to him with
letters of introduction and a peti
tion for help. Ilo happened, how
ever, to bo a man of courage, independence
and generous instincts; anil instead of be
traying them, he listened with sympathy to
their story, promised them his aid, intro
duced them to his wife, and began to give
them lessons. The year 1879 was a year of
intenso revolutionary activity in Russia.
Attempts were constantly being made by
the terrorists to assassinate high Govern
ment officials; und the polico, in all parts of
the empire, were more than visually suspi
cious and alert. The visits of the young
girls to Dr. Paillie's house and ofilce soon
attracted the attention of the local authori
ties in Ivangorod, and they took steps to as
certain who they were and where they had
como from. An investigation showed that
0110 of them was living on a forged pass
port, while the other had none, and that
both had been expelled from St. Petersburg
for political "untrustworthiness." Their
unauthorized appearance in Ivangorod,
when they should have been at their homes,
and their half-secret visits generally at
night - to tho house of Dr. Paillie, were re
garded as evidence of a political conspiracy,
and on the 10th of May, P79, both they and
the young surgeon were arrested and ex
iled by administrative process to Siberia.
Dr. Paillie eventually was sent to the arctic
village of Vorkhoyank, latitude b'.ao, in
the province of Yakutsk, whero ho was
seen in by Engineer Melville, Lieuten
ant Danenhowcr, Mr. W. II. Gilder and
all the survivors of the arctic ex
ploring steamer Jeannette. At the time
of Dr. Paillie's banishment his wife, a
beautiful young woman, twenty-four or
twenty-livo years of age, was expecting con
finement and was therefore unable to goto
Siberia with him. As soon as possible,
however, after the birth of her child, and
before she hud fully recovered her strength,
she left her nursing buoy with relatives and
started on a journey of more than 6,000
miles to join her husband in a village situ
ated north of tho Arctic Circle and near the
Asiatic pole of cold. Slio had not the
necessary means to make such a journey by
rail, steamer and post, as Lieutenant
Bcheutze made it in l:fc.VSG, and was there
lore forced to ask permission of tho
Minister of the Interior to travel
with a party of exiles. As far as the city of
Tomsk in Western Siberia, both political
and common criminal exiles are transported
in convict trains or barges. Beyond that
point tho common criminals walk, and the
politicals arc carried in telegas, at the rate
of about sixty miles a week, stopping in an
etape every third day for rest At this rate
of progress Mrs. Paillie would have reached
her husband's placo of exile only after six
teen months of incessant hardship, priva
tion aud suffering. Put she did not reach it
For many weeks her hopo, courage aud love
sustained her, and enabled her to endure
without complaint the jolting, tho suffocat
ing dust, the scorching heat and tho cold
autumnal rains on the rood, and tho bod
food, tho plank sleeping benches, tho ver
min, aud tho pestilential air of the etapes;
but human endurance has its limits. Three
or four inouths of this unrelieved misery,
with constant anxiety about her husband
and for tho babo that for her husband's
sake, she had abandoned in Russia, broke
down her health und her spirit She sauk
Into deep despoudency and eventually began
to show signs of mental aberration. After
passing Krasnoyarsk her condition be
came such that any sudden shock
was likely completely to overthrow her
reason aud tho shock soon came. There
are two villages in Eastern Siberia whose
names are almost alike Verkholeusk aud
Verkhoyansk. The former is situated on
the river Lena, only l!0 miles from Irkutsk,
whilo the latter is on the head waters of the
Yuna, and is distant from Irkutsk nearly
2,700 miles. As the party with which she
was traveling approached the capital of
Eastern Siberia her hope, strength and
courage seemed to revive. Pier husband,
she thought was ouiy a few hundred miles
away, and in a few more weeks sho would
bo in Lis arms. She talked of him constant
ly, counted the verstposts which measured
her slow progress toward him, aud literally
lived upon, tho expectation of speedy re
union with him. A few stations west of
Irkutsk sho accidentally became aware, for
the first time, that her husband was not in
Verkholensk, but in Verkhoyansk; that sho
was still separated from him by nearly 3,000
miles of mountain, steppe and forest; and
that in order to reach his place of banish
ment that year she would have 10 travel
many weeks alone ou dog or reindeer
sledges in terriblo cold, through the arctic
solitudes of Northeastern Asia. The sud
den shock of this discovery was almost im
mediately fatal. She became violently in
sane und died insane a few months later in
tho Irkutsk prison hospital, without ever
seeing again tho husband for whose sake
she had endured such mental and physical
agonies.
MURIATIC ACID LAKE.
The Seething-. Hubbllng Mineral Mass
I'ooikI ou WThlte Inland.
Whito Islaudls nearly circular and about
three miles in circumference, writes an
Auckland correspondent of tho San Fran
cisco (7imiiui It consists of tall cliffs on
three sides formed of rock and loose rub
bish thrown up from the arater. On tho
fourth side is a largo flat many ares in ex
tent broken in two places by tall and fan
tastic rocky eminenee. which appear to
have once formed part of tho cliffs in which
tho flats would seem to bo a fault These
cliffs are eight hundred feet in height, per
pendicular within and gently sloping to tho
sea. Peforeyou is a vast amphitheater of
extraordinary tint Tho walls of this basin,
towering up to tho sky, appear serrated at
the edges and intersected along the face by
an inextricablo net-work of fissures and
crevices. Landed in te ship's dingy on
the bowlder-strewn bcach we find our
selves within tho awe-Inspiring inclosure of
this wonderful place. A large plain of
mineral deposit is before one, and on the
right is seen a tramway loading up to what
is known as tho Adamant reef. In the cen
ter of this plain Is the wonderful boiling
lake. As we approach it along a well-beaten
trosk tho ground becomes of a chocolate
color, and all at once the visitor is conscious
of the most pungent orders as the fumes
from the surface of the-boiling lako and the
base of tho aurrouuding walla of rock
reach him. A few steps more and a mag
nificent sccno bursts upon the view. Below
you lies the most extraordinary tinted pict
ure that pott artist explorer, novelist,
tourist or special ever gazed upon. The
general tone of the ground line is of a deep
chocolate, tho walls of rock around of that
warm color known to artists aa madder
brown, rcl eved with rose madder, the edge
of the lake a iteep orange and the lake it
self a blcndirg of the peculiar green of
verdigris and lemon yellow. At the base of
the rocks isuc jots and clouds of vapor.
The tint of this lake is probably due to
the fact that as the volume of water has
lessened tho chemical properties In the
water bave become of greater strength,
and some predominating over others give
iba present eitraordiaary hue. .Tte Ukeli
aim ply a seething, bubbliug mass of muriatic
acid, and as the liquid boils up the bubble
have their sides in shadow, reflecting a
green tinge, the whole surface emitting a
vapor that very soon finds out your lungs
and tickles the mucous membrane of your
nose and throat to say nothing of bringing
to the eyes involuntary tears.
To the right, following the natural basin
of the island, is chaos itself rocks, stone,
chassis, streams, pools, lakelets In frantio
sonfusion, these latter apparently all alive
and each one bent on outshining if not out
noising one another. This was a sort of
achool-room for the apparent education of
small volcanoes. Amid the hissing, sputter
ing, choking things could be seen here and
there what looked like husre, mammoth
golden cauliflowers boiling. These were sul
phur formations.
No animal or insect breathes upon tho
Island. Two hundred fathoms will hardly
reach the bottom within half a mile of its
ahores. This island is the eastern limit of
the extensive belt of volcanic agitation
which extends from Mount Egmont through
Tongariro, the Tupo Rotomahuna lakes to
Whale Island and the adjacent rocks, north
of which line earthquakes are rarely felt
An analysis of suiphur deposits on thi
island made in the New Zealand Geological
Survey Laboratory shows that one of yel
low sulphur contained 90.9 per cent of sul
phur, that another of green sulphur con
tained C2.5 per cent sulphur and that a
third of impure sulphur contained 63.05 per
cent sulphur. The chief impurity was
gypsum, which does not interfere with iu
distillation.
MAN-KILLING MACHINES.
Maxim's Automatic Gun That Almost
Loada and Fires Itsel&
An automatic three-pounder gun, which
seems destined to play a great part in tho
warlike operations of tho future, was tested
at Erith a few days ago in the presence of rep
resentatives of the War Office, who were
so greatly struck by iu performance that
the Maxim Company has been requested to
construct a twelve-pounder on the sars
principle, says the London Timts. :j
About six years ugo, when Mr. Maxim be
gan his experiments in automatic gunnery,
he made certain alterations in a Martini
lien ry rifle so that when if was fired tho
recoil opened the breech by droppiug tho
block in the ordinary way, the block re
maining down until another cartridge waa
placed in position, when tho breech auto
matically closed aud the trigger could be
again pulled.
The gun lately tried is merely an applica
tion of this system on a large scale. It has
the appearance of the quick firing throe
pounder, is mounted on a cone in the samo
manner and is trained by a crutch on which
the shoulder of tho gunner rcsU. When
the gun is loaded and tho trigger is pulled
the barrel of tho gun recoils a distance of
four inches, tho breech remaining closed
during the recoiL When, however, the bar
rel returns to the firing position the breach
block is thrown downward, tho hammer is
cocked and the empty cartridge is ejected,
the breech block remaining down until an
other cartridge is introduced. The act of
placing the cartridge in the chamber liber
ates the block, which rises insUntly, clos
ing the breech, and the gun can be fired
again.
After firing the gun in the way described
the trigger was fixed in the pulled position,
a cartridge was fired and iu empty shell
ejected. On introducing another cartridge
it was fired in the same way without the in
tervention of tho trigger, and so on with an
indefinite number of cartridges, the gun
doing all the work except that of placing tho
cartridges in the chamber. This gun weigh
no more than tho ordinary quick-firing gun
of the same caliber; the strain on tho
mounting is less, enabling it to be fired
from a light torpedo bout without damage
to tbo deck, and tho rapidity of the fire is
increased, with only one-hulf the usual gun
detachment to work it
