LONDON". Nov. 24. Sir Hiram Malm, Inventor of the automatic sys tem of firearms died at his ljoiue here early this morning. , Sir Hiram Maxim was born in San Eervillo. Malno, on February 5. 1840i He was a dcscondaut of KdrIIbIi pu ritans who were among tho early set tlers of riymouth county, Massachu setts. After a meager sehoollnR he went to work In a machine shop and later was employed In the machine works of his uncle, Levy Stevens, at FItchburfC. Mass. In 1R77 he took up tho question of electricity and was among the first to make dynamo electric- machines and electric lamps In the United Stales. In ISSt ho was made a chovallcr of the legion of honor by Tresldent Orevy. Tho Maxim automatic gun was In vented In 1884 in London and was immediately adopted by tho lirltlsh government which used it in the war with Matabele. Tho gun fired 600 rounds a minute and caused such slaughter that parliament seriously discussed the question as to whether Its use was justified. Some years later Sir Hiram, created a buronet by Queon Victoria after having become naturalized as an Englishman, Invent ed the first smokeless powder. In 1 90'1 Sir Maxim Invented a heavier than air flying machine which raised Itself from the ground carry , Ing a driver and passenger, nine years before tho first practicable air plane was created by the Wright brothers. Sir Hiram's machluo was a ponder ous affulr and broke down In Its early trial. In 1915 the Inventor was ap pointed a momber of the Inventions board created by the government to moet the needs of I lie war.
