A Methodist minister has invented a double-chambered shell, the inner containing powder, and the outer a composition intensely inflammatory and explosive, which, when the shell bursts, consumes everything it falls upon.
It is said to be a very destructive engine, and the clerical inventor is reported to have remarked, while explaining his invention at the department at Washington: Faith, sir, I preached hellfire and brimstone in the abstract a long time, and now I'll give 'em a little of it in the concrete form.
The name of the pugnacious minister is Puffer — but, as Shakspeare says: What's in a name?
