UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian Revolutionists.
Anyone familiar with tho construc
tion of modern weapons oi warfaro
and tho high explosives used in them
would naturally supposo a caunon
made of wood would bo of little or no
valuo as a weapon.
Wooden cannons havo been used
with conetdcrablo success, neverthe
less, In reoent revolutions In Cuba,
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood usod In tho 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 tho timber with tho or
dlnnry means is almost Impossible.
Tho best trees aro selected, nud a
pleco of tho log flvo or six feet in
length and about ono foot iu diameter
is cut. After tho bark has boon re
moved and the log mado round, it is
swung up on a crude truss and a nolo
Is burned Into it from ono end. The
log Is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from tho skin of a steer. When
the cannon is covered with tho strips
of hide, another layor is wound on,
and this 1b continued until tho weapon
has Increased soveral Inches In diam
eter. After tho log Is covered and tho
bore is finished tho weapon is troated
to a hot draft, which tends to con
tract the hido binding and which be
comes almost as strong as wire.
Thcso crude cannonB havo been
used with success In a number of In
stances, and it is astonishing tho num
ber of times they may bo fired boforo
thoy burst or beconio otherwise dis
abled. Harper's Weokly.
All Fopls' Day.
When freakish April lifts tho latch
all wits and wags consider themselves
freo to vent tholr nonseso upon the
victims who them would fool by tholr
tricks. Tho gay Parisian calls such
"April flsh;" In bonnlo Scotland on
this day they mako merry "hunting
tho gowk," whilst In England nnd this
country a man keeps a sharp lookout
lest ho bo caught at a disadvantage by
the Joker who glories in his smartness
if ho only can mako eomo one look
ridiculous. But it is Just as well not
to bo too smart. Tho boomerang has
a wicked habit of coming back. Silly
as All Fools' day custom may seem to
the solemn, It has an ancient ancestry.
Its origin is obscuro, but somewhere
from tho far-off times when those old
Romans felt tho lilt of the vernal equi
nox, nnd went on tho spreo accord-
Ingly, comes the rqlllck which Btlll
trills forth Its merry ditty in our
streets. Deeper still, the calm, con
templative Hindu, for some reason or
other, from time Immemorial has gone
a-foollng on tho flrsl of April. It was
probably from France, whence all
things vivacious come, that Europe got
tho unruly itch for turning this day
Into a comedy of errors.

life in tho desert. We had only one
pan, and that was a saucepan. It
had to do for frying our fish in tho

fried flsh she had to get some grass
roots and sand and scrub tho pot out
so that we could make our coffee In it.
The lady was quite able to do it, anil
she did It well. She also did the wash

Southern Planter Tells General Sher

Thoro was nt the tlmo of tho Civil
war a lack of information in tho
south relative to tho strength and re
sources of tho north. Georgo Haven
Putnnm In his now book, "Abraham
Lincoln," tolls of a conversation Goii
crnl Sherman had with a courtly old
planter at whoso flno mansion the gen
eral and somo of his stuff had stopped
ono noon on tho march to tho Ben. Tho
old plantor talked with Sherman about
tho causes of tho war, and finally,
pointing to some of the pnsslng union
troops, asked what stnto thoy camo
from. Sherman loaned over tho porch
and told tho men to throw out tholr
flag. They did so, nnd Sherman, turn
ing to his venerable host, remarked:
"Thoy nro tho Thirtieth Wisconsin."
"Wisconsin?" said tho plnntor. "Wis
consin? Whero Is Wisconsin?"
"It is ono of tho states ot tho north
west," said Shormnn.
"Whon 1 was studying geography,"
Bald tho planter, "I know of Wiscon
sin simply as tho namo of n trlbo ot
Indians. How many men nre thoro In
that regiment?"
"Well, thoro woro n thousand whon
they started," said Sherman.
"Do you moan," asked tho plantor,
"that there Is a stnto called Wiscon
sin that has sent 30,000 men into your
armies?"
"Oh, probably 40,000," answorod
Sherman.
With tho noxt body of troops the
questions nnd answers wero ropated.
Tho flag was that of tho Thirty-second
Minnesota. Tho old plnntor had never
heard that thoro was such' a stnto.
"My God!" he exclaimed when ho had
figured out the thousands of mon who
had como to tho front from Ihoso so
called Indian territories to maintain
tho existence of tho nation, "if wo In
tho south had known that you had
turned those Indian territories into
great states we novor would havo gon
Into this war."
"Tho incident," roraarkn tho author,
"throws a light upon tho stnto ot mind
of men, oven of well educated mou In
the south, at tho outbreak of the war.
. . . It was their feeling that In
tho coming contest thoy would hav
to deal only with Now England and

In the Bocond battlo for tho posses

Tho Confederate came to a, full

"I toll you what," ho said, at last
"we'll settle It this way. We'll botr

Hut If tho Union troops como nlon

"All right," suld tho othor.
Both throw tholr guns down ant

and tho nlr was filled with burstlni

"You've got me, Yank!" tho Con
