n in Lexington, Ind., Aug. 27, 1822; received a collegiate education and studied law; was a Democratic Representative in Congress in 1852-61; and was conspicuous there because of his opposition to the policy of his own party in the controversy over the admission of Kansas into the Union.

Gatling, Richard Jordan 1818- Inventor; born in Hertford county, N. C., Sept. 12, 1818. His first invention was a screw Richard Jordan Gatling. for propelling water-craft. Later he designed a machine for sowing rice, and, on removing to St. Louis in 1844, adapted it to sowing wheat in drills. In 1861 he conceived the idea of his revolving battery gun. This was first manufactured in 1862, at Indianapolis. Subsequently twelve were made and used on the James River, Va., by General Butler. In 1866 Gatling further improved this invention, and after satisfactory trials at Washington and Fort Monroe the Gatling gun was adopted by the United States government. It is now in use also in nearly all European countries. In 1886 he invented a new gun-metal, composed of steel and aluminum. Later Congress voted him $40,000 for proof experiments in a new method of casting cannon. He has also invented a hemp-breaking machine and a steam-plough.
