New War Machine.

Winchester, Feb. 15—Joe Hoke of Union City has invented a bayonet which has been recommended for use in the service by officials of the war department. The new device is of steel. The dagger is spiral and about eight inches long, and the whole blade rotates automatically in a socket. The dagger’s edge and point are sharp, drilling a hole wherever it is thrust.
