' A Wonderful Gun. . .
Since tbe introduction of gunpowder
as a propellant and the general use of
firearms In warfare and bunting thera
bus been1 a more or less insistent de
mand for mechanisms that would give
tbe soldier or hunter a number of shots
at bis command without reloading and
enable them to be rapidly discharged.
Tbe first patent' for a firearm, of this
description seems to have been Issued
by tbe British patent office In 1118 to
James Puckle, a citizen of London, for
a guu mounted ipou a tripod, having a
single barrel and a revolving cylinder.
Strangel enough, one of the claim set
fyrth In this patent appears almost ver
batim 135 years later In a patent taken
out by Itollln White, an American in
ventor of a revolving pistol. Another
curious claim of tbe patent was: "The
mechanism permits the use of square
bullets against tbe Turk and round bul
lets against Christiana Moreover, so
great is the rapidity of Ore tbat ships
armed with the gun cannot be boarded
by any attacking force." 8. J. Fort ia

The Unicorn.
Tbe nnlrorn was one of the fabled
monsters of antiquity, it was, accord
ing to a summary of the opinions of
several of the old time writers, a beast
bout tbe size of a common horse, but
with very short legs. The people of the
middle ages believed in tbe existence
of three kinds of unicorns tbe mas-
' nitlcent white unicorn, which bad a
i purple face and blue eyes and a sin
Igle born a yard in length;, the eglls-
serlon. which resembled a gigantic
deer and had a very sharp born grow
ing from tbe middle of the forehead,
and tbe roonoceros. or common uni
corn. The, white unicorn's horn was
of three different colors white at the
lower part, block s ebony In the mid
dle ind red at tbe point - Common uni
corns were said to have bad borns
shout eighteen Inches In length, but
so strong that they could r-sily kill an
elephant ;
"Man of Straw."
The phrase "a mao of straw" bad Its
origin in England at a time when men
might easily be procured to' furnish
evidence upon oath In almost any emer
gency. It appears tbat persons of this
description were accustomed to walk
openly lu Westminster hull with a
straw projecting from their sboes. thus
signifying that they sought employ
ment as witnesses: hence tbe expres
sion. An advocate who desired a conven
ient witness knew by this sign whereto
find one. and the colloquy between the
two was brief. ','"' ' i
"Don't you remember?" tbe advocate
would ask. The purty would glance at
tbe fee and give no sign, but when tbe
fee waa Increased his powers of mem
ory Increased with it. and straw shoes
went Into court and swore as desired.
