The principle of the Colt guns, the very latest weapon of modern warfare, give* no bint of tbeir murderouenesa. A three foot blued heavy barrel with a piatol butt and trigger, and a calibre the siie of pea, this barrel fitting into brass pivot* that permit a (weeping aim, np, down or around—that’s all. Yet through that little aperture, •mailer than a baby’s finger, are pro jected invisible death engines that would cut platoon* of men in piece*. Tbs gon is literally a death but* ■aw when swept slowly from right to left to right. If held stationary for a moment tbe discharge assumes tbs force of a shrapnel shell that never Mop, and ordinary torpedo boats may be sunk by ita force. By tbs ride of tbe barrel is a wooden box. Io tbia -1000 Lee rifle cartridges with tbe ■mall calibre, ateel bullet*, charged with smokeless powder, are coiled on tap* like an endless cartridge belt. Tbe end of the tape is palled sidewise through tbe gun, the trigger is pulled and then the gun shoots, ejecta and loads without further human agency. Alter that the gunner simply direct* tbe sweep of fire. A few inches from tbe tnuzz’e is a rent down into a chamber underneath tbe barrel. Al the first discharge a •mall percentage of the gas proceed* through tbi« vent, and force* out a lever of a Winchester rifle, and tbi* flying lever, in turn, propel* tbe me chanism and aa the spent cartridges are ejected other* are drawn in and •truck by tbe h*mmer. In an instant tbe gun pour* out shot like stream from a boas, each cartridge exploding the next at * speed of 200 a minute. Directed at a file of men np to 700 yard*, tbe effect ia terrific, for the bul let* of ateel, that look like tiny pencil*, will go through six men. Borne time ago Lieut. Pond tried tbe gun at the New York navy yard. He had twenty inch** of oak aod a tbr«e eigbta inch steel plate. To make rare, ba added another one-eighth inch plate. ..Then be couldn’t find tbe bul let*. Upon search be found that they had gone through the twenty inches of oak, tbe three eighths ioeh ateel plate, two side* of an old iron boiler, and the brick walla of the building.
