Blake KEYSTONE TELEPHONE ' SYSTEM ' 135 South 2nd Street PUBLIC, Cannon From 16th Century Brought From Philippines and Placed in Museum MAY HAVE BEEN MAGELLAN'S A falconet, which is n sixteenth cen tury cannon, has just becu placed on exhibition in Independence Hall. It was presented to the city by Congress man O. W". Edmonds, who s.ccured it in the Philippines In a roccut visit there on government business. The falconet, whicli now stands in the corridor of Independence Hall, is the finest exanfplc in this country of this earliest piece of artillery, says Cur ator Jordan, who is iu charge of the state house buildings. "It it a type of ancient Spanish cannon which very possibly might have been taken to the Philippines by Magellan, when he made his trip around the world. Columbus, too, carried such pieees of ordnunce in his caravel." The falconet fired a ball whicli weighed about a half pound. It was discarded when infantry firing pieces vcro invented in the latter por tion of the sixteenth century. The ancient gun has metal work of rich ornamentation. The carriage, whicli is of wood, is not the original carriage, but it is the exact replica of the carriages 'which were used In the early centuries. The gun was one of three whicli stood in the courtyard of one of the government buildings in tho Philippine arcbepemgo.

The bullets appeared white with the loam of n hundred or more years. They were discovered about six feet under ground, two feet under the roots ofNthe ancient tree. Many years ago some Continental sol dier, perhaps tills is not true if, ns Curator Jordan believes, these bullets were planted since tlie tree tumbled over by some progressive business man who saw lucre in the sale of fake Revo lutionary bullets to innocent tourists some Continental soldier, perhaps, secreted them In n bag which had long since decomposed, under the roots of n young elm tree, In order that the prowling English might not find them. Bullets were scarce in those early days. They were not manufactured so readily ns tliey arc today.

The old tree, then a weak enpllng, was to mark the place where the bullets were burled. Perhaps the Continental was hilled In the Bcrvlnvof his country, perhaps ho just forgot. Anyway, the fifty bullets have never seen tho light of day these long years until thin morn ing, when the earth digger turned them over. That is, provided Mr. Jordan's con viction is wrong: that these bullets have been "planted" there within the last few days, to furnitih a dividend to some broker in antiques and curios.
