Smallest Lot in New York.

The smallest piece of real estate
in New York is at the northwest
corner of Fourteenth street and
Irving place. 1t occupies curious
little niche in ,the corner property
and has frontage of q few inches
on both these important streets.
Taxes are regularly paid on it and
the high rent which its owner de-
mands for it has been paid regularly
for years.
The property is so small that a
man of ordinary height can readily
stand with foot on each, of its
boundaries. Despite its diminutive
size it has been used for several pur-
poses. A news stand was once 10.
Gated there and attracted customers
from both streets. In using the lot
even for this purpose, however, il
was found necessary to occupy part
of the sidewalk in front.
The entire estate was taken up
with but two or three piles of folded
papers. The man who presided over
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1899-04-08

the news stand was obliged to stand
on his neighbours :property when he
reached over his own to hand GUS
toner a paper. AT another time a
peanut stand was set up and the en-
tire property was taken up with the
roasting apparatus, and if peannt
was knocked off the stand it fell on
the next neighbor S grounds.
The smallest estate is now occu-
pied by substantial little pavilion,
covered with an elaborate roof which
extends out over it's limits.
This diminutive estate is supposed
to have been due to q mistake of the
surveyors years ago.
The present owner will not listen
to any offers for it's sale. 1t has
been rented for years for $50 a
month and he is well satisfied with
the investment. The most deter
mined effort to buy the estate has
been made by the owners of the
hotel which occupies the adjoining
site, but the owner of the smallest
estate declares that his property is
not on the market. -Chjcago

Spinal Meningitis.

The Michigan state board of health
has issued the following circular to
some of our health officers and which
is here published SO that the public
generally may at least partly under
stand the cause of the disease and
govern themselves accordingly:
81 am informed that cerebro-s spinal
meningitis is present in your juris-
diction The state board of health
has declared this disease to be a
communicable disease dangerous to
the public health. Measures for
its restriction and prevention should
be taken, in somewhat the same
manner as in cases Of consumption
(my personal opinion is that isola-
tion of the patient with the disease
is not necessary; that it is not liable
to be spread by the patient except
by the saliva, sputa and excretions
from the nose, and that to these
care should be mainly directed)
Statistics have proved that an
epidemic of influenza is generally
accompanied or followed by an in
crease of all Of the diseases that en-
ter the body by way of the air pas

fever, small pox, pneumonia, con
sumption, and especially cerebro

A FIFTEEN INCH
DYNAMITE GUN FOR
NEW YORK HARBOR
IL will Soon be Mounted on Fish
er's Island at the North En-
trance to Long Island Sound to
Guard Against an Enemy In
vading New York City.

A pennsylvania Manufacturing
company has in course of construc-
tion a large dynamite gun which
in the early spring will be shipped
in sections north and carried out to
Long Island harbor, where it will
be mounted. This gun, tits hoped,
will be for ornament, but should any
inquisitive foreigner dare to APP
proach, the gun will stand as a
working sentinel, ready to throw
nitro gelatine 5000 yards.
This monster gun, which will be
the largest ever constructed for this
country or any other, is 80 feet in
length; it throws a 500-pound charge
of high explosives; is 10 inches in
diameter, and is warranted to fire a
long distance charge out to sea with
such force rs to wreck and sink with
one shot the finest battleship afioat
in any navy.
The firing capacity of this gun is
eight wellaimed shots every 10
minutes. It's danger zone covers
300 feet on all sides Of u common
center, or 600 feet in diameter.
1t is operated on the pneumatic
system, which combines accuracy
with safety, and can throw dyna-
mite, -gelatine and gun cotton
without danger of premature ex-
plosion.
The gun will be mounted in a
month or so, and will be an object
of great interest to travellers on the
sound.
The explosive to be used in this
gun will be the most powerful
Known to gunmakers. 1t will prob
ably be bought from famous pow
der company of San Francisco. The
composition of the explosive is as
follows:
Eighty-seven per cent nitro
glycerine.
Seven per cent gun cotton.
Four per cent camphor
| Two per cent carbonate of mag
nesia.
1t is intended that in time the en-
tire seacoast shall be protected with
these monster guardians, but at
present only one is under way, and
it is thought that the government
will await the experimental test.
Two types of projectiles are to be
used in this tremendous gun. One is
termed full caliber and fits the
gun closely. The others are sub
caliber, and are considerably
smaller than the barrel, being held
in place by means of shoes and run
ners ID inches in diameter.
I Some idea of the awful force can
be gathered from the fact that the
full caliber projectile is about IL
feet in length, and has capacity
for about 500 pounds of high ex-
plosives.
Any one of these projectiles drop
ping on or near a battleship will
totally destroy it. "A 50O-pound
charge exploding among squadron
would seriously disable every ship
within 200 yards.
The new dynamite gun will be
mounted upon solid base, and no
allowance will be made for recoil,
as it amounts to little when com.
pared to powder guns OF the same
caliber.
During the experiments with big
guns some startling figures were
reached to show the penetration OF
the shells and their wonderful &C
curacy. During one trial eight sue
cessive shots were thrown into a
horizontal rectangle "a yards wide
by Z yards long at distance of
3,640 yards.

Surgeon McQuesten, who returned

who was quoted by the Associated
Press dispatches of the day as saying
that it would require 100000 to 150,-
600 men to put down the insurrection
and that the American peace commits
sion was a complete failure, made 4
close study of the conditions of the
Philippines situation. He says that
the peace commission was not only
an absolute failure, but that its work
from the start was without effect.
He strongly supports the military
government of the islands, except
that he thinks more men will be nee
essary than has been estimated.
"Dr. Schurman knows that the
commission is failure and is coming
home inJuly," said Capt. McQuesten.
