Mj Address .r.ra Son of Sir Hiram Maxim In vents Noiseless Gun. MAY REVOLUTIONIZE WARFARE Because of Its Dreadful Probabilities in the World of Crime Many Police Officials Have Already Insisted That it be Safeguarded by Law, NEW YORK, Feb. 26. -Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor of the machine gun which bears his name, has secured patents for a silent firearm. It is an nounced that by the use of the device patented, the discharge of any firearm from the smallest pistol to the largest gun is rendered practically .noiseless. The invention consists of the use of a device similar to the "muffler used on automobiles to deaden the noise of the constant explosions by which the gasoline engine is operated. It is in the shape of a muffler attached to the muzzle of the firearm through which the gases which drive out the bullet or shell are allowed to escape gradually without the effect of an ex plosion. By this device, which does not a! tcr the appearance of any weapon ex ccpt for a small cross piece in tne barrel a short distance from the muzzle, the escape of the gases (ol lowing the discharge of the explosive is shut off just as the bullet emerges from the muzzle. This result is ob taincd by means of a pistol valve sliding across the bore of- the barrel immediately after the bullet passes. This valve is actuated entirely by the presence of the gases of themselves and is not operated by any intricate mechanical device. Preventing the gases from escap ing suddenly and provoking a conse quent loud report, this valve allows them to issue gradually through a series of small holes, thus obviating all noise except a slight hissing sound. The valve then resumes an open position and a safety device pre vents the firing of another cartridge unless the valve is in its proper place. Further, ammunition of various kinds may be used, ranging from leaden bullets and ordinary gunpower, to forged steel projectiles impelled by smokeless powder. Military experts apprised of the new invention assert that it holds the power to force revolution of modern methods of warfare. By use of this noiseless weapon skirmishers could work along an enemies front and shoot down pickets without their presence being noted except upon the discernment of the slain. Sharp shooters would be enabled to pick off their victims without reports of weapons betraying their positions. In the world of sport it is held by the inventor that the new weapon would render it possible for a man properly concealed to kill at his lei sure probably every deer in a sur prised herd, as no alarm would be sounded Because of its dreadful probabili ties in the world of crime many police officials have already insisted that the manufacture and disposal of the new device should be safeguarded by law. Armed with such a weapon policeman might be enabled to dis able every member of a band of law breakers should he surprise them at their work. On the other hand it would be qually dangerous in the possession of a desperate criminal. The assassin, by its use, would be enabled to pick off his victim and find opportunity of escaping. Personal Knowledge Personal knowledge is the winnine factor in the culminating contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front tanks of The Well Informed of the World. v A vast fund of personal knowledge is realty essential to die achievement of die highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl. edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in qurdons of Ufa and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be rUembered that Syrup of Fist and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of die most eminent physicians and gives universal sausiacuon, Because a is a rem cay or Known Quality, Known Excellence end Known Component' rarta and has won the valuable patronage ol millions of the Wefl Informed of the" world, who know ot their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it the first and best ot family laxatives, lor which no extravagant or unreasonable claims ate made. This valuable remedy hat been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative.
