UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian Revolutionists,

Anyone familiar with the construc-
ton of modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used In them
would naturally suppose a cannon
made of wood would be of little or no
value as a weapon
Wooden have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
tess, in recent revolutions in Cuba,
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
of these crude weapons is a very
tough variety, having a twisted grain
that curls about the log in such a way
that to split the timber with the or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and a
piece of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, it is
swung up on a crude truss and a hole
is burned into it from one end. The
log is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from the skin of a steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer is wound on,
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to a hot draft, which tends to con
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude have been
used with success in a number of in
stances, and 1t is astonishing the num-
Der of times they may be fired before
they burst or become otherwise dis
abled.-Harper's Weekly.

HaIrpIns and Other Pins.

Hairpins have been elaborated as a
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy of their workman
ship, two of the finest specimens being
the gold pins which were found at
Salamis in Cyprus, and are nov in the
British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins Of a later
date, with their shank of brass, head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the larg-
er sort of pins SO conspicuously and
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple of Sisera was probably a tent
pin, while Delilah fastened the web
of Samson's hair with a pin or batten.
In the middle ages pins were a great
fashion-indeed, a great necessity
in France, and we have it on record
that in 1347 10000 pins were removed
from the royal wardrobe for one of
the French p%rincesses. The conven-
fence was probably a little later in
reaching England, but in 1910 we hear
of Queen Catherine (Howard) import
ing pins from France. In 1860 the
trade underwent considerable change,
brass superseding iron, while at the
same time the price was lowered.

1t contains about 20 per cent. of

a meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is so little

Marques of Sligo In Indian Mutiny.
Lord Altamont, who, through the
death of his aged father, the other
day, has become marques of Sligo,
was through the Indian mutiny. His
father, who was in the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutiny broke out.
Lord Sligo's wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques,
were sent for safety to a place which
was surrounded by rebels for a fort
night. The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as a ruse to pass him off as her
W son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents, who meantime had to go
through a further siege at Monghyr.
