A PECULIAR GUN.

A gun that is not gun, but that
has done some really fine work, if the
testimony Of its owner be credited, is
one that belongs to an ardent ornithol-
ogist. He walked into New Orleans
hotel not long ago, and created some
thing of a sensation by the package he
carried. 1t had the general appearance
Of a gun-case, except that it was ex-
tremely short and thick.
While the stranger was registering
and chatting with the clerk, two or
three guests, sitting by. got into an
animated discussion as to the contents
Of the queer-looking parcel At last
one of them introduced himself to the
newcomer for the purpose of settling
the contention. He ventured to ask
what the case contained. stranger
smiled.
THE case contains a gum" he said,
and he proceeded to confirm his words
by exhibiting the peculiar weapon. The
stock was like that of an ordinary
shotgun, but the barrel was fully four
inches in diameter. and covered with
leather. At the breech there was a
square box furnished with several
small levers.
Il am an amateur ornithologist,' he

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1899-08-03

"The form is simply for convenience
in focusing, and it has enabled me to-
get really remarkable pictures. For,
instance, l have photographed such
fast flyers as snipe in every conceivable
position, from head on, to pointblank
retreat, thing that could not be done
with an ordinary camera" rw
