La Tulips Rawhide Cannon.
from the Rome Daily sentiuell

A Syracuse man named La Tulip has In
vented a cannon known as the La Tulip
rswhide gun, of which great things are ex-
pected. One of the guns, made by its in
ventor was tested at Onondags valley on
Tuesday. 1t weighs in the neighborhood
of 400 pounds, while the cannon of the
same calibre in uss by the army weighs
nearly $500. Its popularity lies In Its
llghtness and the easy manner in which 1t
can be transported. Across the breech II
measures about fourteen inches and tspers
to about six at the muzzle.
a forged steel cone forming the barrel
| runs to the full length, and is only three
quarters of sn inch in thickness. Then
| comes layer after layer of the finest raw
| hide compressed until 1t has the strength
| of steel. In fact its toughness and staying
| powers are said to exceed steel. The raw
hide is put on in strips coiled around anc
around and ia several inches in thickness
| On top of this lie two coils of steel wirt
wound to its strongest tension and theI
filed smooth. The cap placed at the breach
can be easily removed for inspection of thu
| rswhide filling. The tests were pro
nounced successful and further trials vii
be bad.
| A FIVE inch bore will be constructed q
soon as possible, and when mounted upol
movable carriage II will then demon
strate whether 1t can be used effectively
The ive-inch cannon will be smooth Dor
and used to discharge dynamite cartridges
| a trial of which will be made. Frederick
La Tulip, the inventor, has been q worke
of rswhide for twelve years and Is converS
ant with 1t In every detail.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER.

Naugatuck Decides That He is the
Proper officer to Prosecute Cases.
The board of health of the town of Maui
gatuck has decided that the county health
officer has jurisdiction over all cases of vio-
lation of health ordinances and that all
prosecutions for such violations must be
made by him instead of by the town attor-
ney. County Health Officer Eoadley re-
turned from that town yesterday.
In speaking of the action of the local
board of health, which at a recent meeting
referred the matter to the corporation
counsel for hie opinion on the question of
jurisdiction, Mr.. Hosdley said that the To-
cal board of health was the only one in the
county which had thus far raised the ques-
ton as to whether the county health officer
or the city attorney was the proper person
to prosecute such offenders. In every
other town in the county the question has
been decided in favor of the county health
officer.

its way to be exhibited at the Chicag,

have discovered America, passed Fab
Island, the most northerly OF the Or

between the main portion of the DIRK
ney islands and the Shetland group,
on the 18th inst. Advices from Ber-
gen state that vessels arriving there
report heavy southwest winds and
high seas as prevailing on the North
Atlantic. Steamers which ordinarily
averaged ten knots an hour worked
for torty-eight hours without making
any progress, and it is believed that
the tempestuous weather has driven
the Viking back in the direction of
Norway.
