New Year, July M—A rawhide can-
mflw invention oi a Frenchman named
wastcstcd bytheordnanceixmd oi the
United States army at the Sandy Hook
proving ground- yesterday. The cannon
11111111- own against very severe tests. It
auceessiuliy withstood a pressure of 30,360
pounds to the square inch, but the recoil
alter this shot broke the trail at the gun
carriage, and further tests were impeach
hie, no other carriages being available at
the time. The members oi the ordnance
board made copious notes oi the workings
oi the gun, and maintained their usual
silence when questioned as to their opin-
ion oi it, but it was apparent that they
didn’t quite ace the great advantage to be
gained by the use of the Weapon, and had
little faith in the claim of the inventor
that the gun is destined to revolutionize
things.
The breaking down oi the gun carriage
was a disappointment to those who wit.
, the test, and the members of the
Ordnance bilard were particularly annoyed
by it. It prevented the other tests that the
board had decided upon, and it was hint-
ed that the reason they Were so much dis-
appointed over this breakdown was be-
cause theyexpcctcd with these tests to
blow the gun to ilindent.
Frederick is Tulip, who invented the
gun, has patented a rawhide boat and 11
number oi other things 111111111 oi rawhide,
and two years ago he bcgnn Work on the
rawhide cannon. lie says it is the first
can of its kind ever made. though he mi-
mits the mention in history of leather
guns. Ln Tulip intc Tested sew rul Syra-
cuse. men in hiscannon. and John ll. Link,
a wholesale liquor dcoler, finally pur-
chased a half inn-rest in it and paid the
expenses of having it pntcntcd.
The film's flood Points.
Mr. Link knows absolutely nothing
about guns and frccly admits it. but he is
firmly convinced that the rawhide cannon
is the weapon of the luturc. and be it was
who applied at Washington to have the
government lost the gun. The war depart
ment ordered the ordnance board to test
the cannon carefully, and yestcrdny was
the day set for the test. In Syracuse they
have been iirlng the gun privately in an
armory for 11. month past, and there, Mr.
Link says, its most marvvlous icntun-a
wore discovered. A national guard gunner
named Snyder opcrntcd the cannon in
Syracuse, and Mr. Link informed the onl-
nnnco board ycstcnlny that Snyder was
fully colit'lni'ril that it was a grout thing.
The principal claims made for the gun
are that it is only about half the weight of
an ordinary stccl gun. that it is just as
durable and lunch strongcr than a stool
gun, and that any number of shots can be
tired from it in rapid succession without
heating it.
