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

Any one familiar with the construo-
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 cannons have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions In Cuba.
Haiti and In the Dominican republic
The wood used in the construction
Of these crude weapons is . very
tough variety, having twisted grain
that curls about the log in such a way
that to split the timber with the or
dinary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and .
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, 1t In
swung up on crude truss and hole
is burned into 1t 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 hot draft, which tends to con
tract the hide binding and which BE-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
