one alleged to have bgen sent to or re
ceived from the only living -witness to
the will. Fully six weeks will elapse
before the Drobating of the will can be

Chicago. Feb. 9. The United States
favernment has authorized a test at Fort

said to be capable of throwing dynamite
or other high explosive shells a distance

The inventor ' is Louis Gathmann. : of

use of liquidified carbonic acid gas deli v

charge has left the gun. By another de
vice pneumatic pressure is produced
with powder. - Should this invention
prove a success, Gethmann expects
that the existing systems of coast de
