GUARDED BY CANNON

In an old country like; our own, its ancient traditions of respect for lnw and order, firearms are seldom resorted to as a protection against lawbreakers. In the, United States, however, ,things are widely different. and even cannon are called aa a protection ./ and rioters, and when neceraary the weapons are used with far less provocation than would be'the case hete.i An instance in point is the home! of a certain millionaire, which is guarded like- a fortress, with, a perfect arsenal of wear pons, including cannon howitzers, which can be fired by "electric wiresf from the house. v ln addition, the grounds /surrounding the .mansion, are fitted with thousands of .electric light bulbs, so as to be instantly illuminated in case of attack.- Some of the large factories, too, are furnished with Maxim, guns for use against turbulent strikers.—Home paper.
