MAXIM'S MACHINE GUN.
A Terrible Engine of Death Whleh
Works Automatically.
Early In life Hiram Maxim showed
himself a marvelous genius as an In
ventor. An Incident of his boyhood, In
which the recoil of a rifle attracted bis
mention to on apparent loss of pow
er, led him In 1881-2 to utilize the force
of the recoil to good account in a gun
which loads Itself automatically and
fires at the rate of 770 shots a minute
by tlio power of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun Is an en
gine of terrible destruction. This gun
has only a single barrel, which, when
tbe shot is Bred, recoils the distance of
three-quarters of an inch on the other
parts of tbe gun. This recoil sets mov
ing the machinery which automatical
ly keeps up a continuous fire at tbe ex
traordinary rate of twelve rounds a
second.
Each recoil of the barrel has there
fore to perform tbe necessary functions
of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, of bringing up the next full
one and placing It in Its proper posi
tion In the barrel, of cocking jhe ham
mer and pulling the trigger.
As long as tbe firing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round In rapid succession. Tbe barrel
Is provided with n water Jacket to pre
vent excessive beating. Philadelphia

The Gain or Lose of One Whole Day In
Making the Trip.
In sailing around the .world eastward
tbe days are each a little less than
twenty-four hours, according to the
speed of the ship, as tbe sun Is met a
little earlier every morning. These lit
tle differences added together will
amount to twenty-four hours. This
gives tbe sailors an extra day not in
Imagination, but as an actual fact
They will have done an extra day's
work, eaten nu extra day's ration of
food and enjoyed an extra night's
sleep.
On tbe other band. In sailing west
ward the sun is overtaken a little each
liny, and so each day is ruther longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks and
watches are found to be too fust- This
also will amount in sailing around the
world to t ho point of departure to one
whole day by which the reckoning ha
fallen in urrr-nr. The eastern bound
ship, then, has gained a day, nnd the
western bound ship has Inst ono.
This strange fact, clearly worked out,
lends to the apparent paradox that the
flint nnnicd ship has a gain of two
whole days over the latter, If we sup
pose them to have departed from port
and returned, together. Westminster
