Nils H. C. Pihl offers Theodore Roosevelt an interest in his invention of a new “silent projectile” type of ammunition, which he feels will revolutionize the world. Alfred D. Arundel, an engineer, has examined Pihl’s inventions and has not been able to find fault with them, although he could not join Pihl in the endeavor himself, as he had to return to England.
