DEADLY GUN IS INVENTED
Centrifugal 'Weapon Hurls SS00
Shots Per Minute, Says Inventor.
' BOSTON', March 8. A centrifugal
gun, which fires 3300 shots a minute.
declared to be the greatest death-
dealing machine gun yet conceived,- is
the Invention of Levi W. Lombard, of
this city. Tests have proved the gun's
efficiency, the Inventor declares.
The run haa no barrel, operating on
the principle of a sling.' The latter op
erates under a disc which revolves at
tremendous speed. The ammunition is
fed through a tunnel-like attachment
from a tube which leads into two veins
beneath the disc.
The veins center upon an opening
about two inches wide and the bullets
are thrown with terrific velocity. Steam
Is the source of energy.
The machine can be placed in a first-
line trench and operated hundreds of
feet in the rear. From there it can be
regulated to any angle.

ITCHINGJCZEMA
On Arms and Limbs. Suffered
Terribly. Lost Sleep.
M Eczema broke out from wrists to
elbows, and ankles to knees. My limbs
got so bad that all the skin
came off and the flesh turned
blue, constantly throwing
off a watery fluid so that I
had to keep them wrapped
In rags. I Suffered terribly
from itching and burning
and loss of sleep. .

success. Then I used Cuticura Soap

a month, leaving no scars." (Signed)
