Mr. Carl Ooerch, Washington, N, C. My dear Mr. Ooerch: It is with a vory heavy heart that I write to inform you of the death of^^T. N. McGee Waters, who was to be on your program the last day. His death Is much more than a lo-s to our program: he was my personal friend,- ? indeed one of my closest friends. For six years I was a mem ber of his church, and for a score of years we have been intimate friends. Today I am most too bewildered to know Just what -to dp about his place on the program, It seems that our longing for hjm must bring him }ack, and that he wlj| be with us ?till. Only last week l'^had a cheer ful letter from him. He had slipped a few days bpfpre and broke)} his hip. Though encased in plaster from his chest to his tinkle, he expected to be out in, time 40 lecture this summer. v (j But I shall not fall you. Many men are available, and though It will be very difficult to get one to take Dr. Water's place, we will get the right mj?i in time, when I shall advise ydn. x * Sincerely yours, PAUL M. PEARSON.

Dr. Mon traville Wood, a lecturer on the Chautauqua cilcdlV.Who was here \ajot night, spends -tot* odd moments In perfecting an .invention, which. If eqccessful, wiU cause a sensation In military circlet. Dr. Wood has been asked to attend a meeting of the Nary League la Washington at an early date and display his Inven tion before that body. He is working on a gun which will fire 6.000 bullets a minute. The weapon is electrically controll ed and can be used, after but a mo ment's instruction, by the average layman. The shells are thrown in to place by a gyroscopic process. i Naturally, the speed with which the bullets are fired would bring the barrel of the ordinary gun up to white heat after a few seconds. Dr. Wood has provided against this by putting in a number of barrels. A certain number of shells are ?rc? through one barrel and it la revolv-' ed to one side to give place to anoth er one. These barrels are operated automatical ly,-* something on the same order as the chamber of a r?> volver.
