During the Civil war a Chicago physician brought out a very ingenious ten -barreled gun, the bar- rels being fired one after the other by the turning of a hand -crank. Al- though Dr. Gatling was a graduate of a medical school, he was far more fond of tinkering with machinery than doling out pills. He invented a num- ber of clever mechanisms, but the one that made him really famous was thae machine gun. At first our govern- ment did not take the invention ser- iously. It was tried out in the war, but whenever It went into battle it was fired not by soldiers, but by a representative of Dr. Gatling's com- pany, who went into the army to demonstrate the worth of the inven- tion seriously. It was tried out in the war, but whenever it went into bat- tle it was fired not by soldiers, but by a representative of Dr. Gatling's company, who went into the army to demonstrate the world of the inven- tion. Not until long after was the Gatling gun officially adopted by our army. Then it was taken up by many of the European armies as well. Although mane other machine guns were invented, the Gating was easily the best and most serviceable, until the Maxim invention made its appear- ance, and even then it held its own for many years; but eventually it had to succumb. The Maxim did not have to be cranked—it fired itself, which was a distinct advantage; and then, instead of being a Winne of guns all bound up in a single machine, Maxim's was a single -barreled gun and hence was much lighter and could be handled much more easily.—"St. Nicholas," 4 "And what did the doctor nay about yet. eyes, Pat?" ••fledar), he said les suelt a ettulition they're in oril have to Rape oft think fey 4. week." ▪ • 0-* - - The man who baste that no woman hos ever made a fool of hint may he a self.Made 0115.
