seen that a whirlpool of lurgo extent wus in

Xew Flrt-Arnt Important lmirovtments
The National Intelligencer describes a
setof specimens of fire arras, all of thm
new models, invented in New York. The
first specimen is a magazine repealing needle
gv. it solves the problem of the appli
cation of thedischarging needle to revolvers.
A cylindrical magaaine containing forty
cartridges is attached longitudinally under
neath the barrel of the gun. These car
trideges are successively fired as fast as the
gun can be cocked, and the mechanism is
such as to secure a most perfect leading.
Ako, a revolving needle gun, without the
magaxine, having the advantage over all
other revolvers, that it can be used with
cartridges.
The last gun we saw strikes us as being
a must important invention. It is an old
United States musket converted into a
breech-loading gun, and this is done by such
simple and ingenious means, and the gun
operates with such facility, that we cannot
but anticipate the best result, from it. In
all tbe attempts at producing breech-loading
guns that have hitherto been made the
great difficulty was to keep the sliding sur-
laces of the breech and barrel so completely
uninjured by tbe combustion of the powder
a. to insure uniform nicety of operation.
This gun has a contrivance which, effect
ing the opening of the breech ba the dit-
charje of tht bullet, prevents anr deleterious
action from gases on the breech by produc
ing an instantaneous draft of fresh air
through the barrel and breech. The in
ventor claims that the latter improvement
possesses great advantages, especially in a
military point of view, that it enables men
to shoot from fitu to fix time mart rapidly
and to obtain a greater range tban with tbe
present masket, and that it obviates all
danger from premature discharge.
GO" Hall, in his Journal of Health, says
that tbe best method of keeping off a ten
dency to insanity b not to dwell tco long on
one idea.
