HOW ANARCHISTS MAKE BOMBS Manufacture Them Out of All Sort* of Articles and Utensils. The bombs employed by anarchists nowadays are very simple contriv ances, as compared with the elabrr -? . .? "i:. yai ;-:.ichiatc" o: .Lir... .<r lcrty yearns ago. That this is so is largely due to Herr Most, who, in his "Scientific Revolutionary Warfare," taught his disciples how to manufacture bornos out of all sorts of articles and uten sils . fn everyday use, from sauce pans to sardine tins; ?The grenade that exploded prema turely recently at the unemployed demonstration in New York, for in stance, was constructed by Silber stein out of one of the brass balls which were screwed on to the posts of his bedstead. Morral's bomb, which slew twenty three people and injured nearly 100 others at the Spanish King's wed ding two years ago, was merely an ordinary glass water ? bottle. It was, however, filled with nitrogly cerln, the most powerful explosive known to science, and the basis of. dynamita. The French Anarchist Valllant utilized a small kettle wherewith to manufacture the bomb that he after ward exploded with terrible effect in the chamber of deputies at Paris. A saucepan filled with blasting gela tin sufficed Emile. Henry, Vail'ant's chosen comrade, who by its aid suc ceeded in simultaneously blowing to pieces six unfortunate policemen. Ravachol used upon one occasion a metal fuse-box filled with fulmi nate of mercury, and upon another a glass ink bottle with a screw top, In order to destroy life. The bomb which Bourdin carried to Greenwich Par.,, in 1894, intending to blow up the observatory there, but which exploded prematurely and killed him, was just an ordinary piece of iron piping, with a couple of roughly made caps screwed on at either end. An Elephant's Shoe. Kartoom. the young male Soudan elephant in New York city's wild animal preserve in the Bronx, is a much puzzled pachyderm just now. As a matter of fact Kar toom ought to be very proud, but he isn't. Shoes may be all right for some elephants, but Kar toom is a "close-to-hature" pachy derm and Is clearly opposed to all modern improvements. In the heart of the African jungle he found no need for shoes, and doesn't see any more reason for pinching his "tootsy-wootsies" with them now KARTOOM'S WEAK ANKLE, than he did In those happy, care free days of his recent past. Notwithstanding his objections, however, Kartoom now has securely affixed to his right hind foot a large leather and metal shoe, the second elephant's shoe on record since the beginning of history, so far0 as known. Some time ago, Dr. Blair, the animal's family doctor, found Congo, ti-e pigmy elephant, toeing in badly and invented a shoe which cured him of the habit. Recently the Bronx Park M. D., found that Kartoom, as a result of long lack of exercise was developing a weak ankle and gave a rush order to the Zoo blacksmith, for a special shoe for the Soudan elephant also. The shoe instead of causing Kar toom any pride or delight, only ex cited his disgust and anger. He stayed awake all night industriously trying to dislodge the newfangled contraption with his trunk, tut the zoological bootmakers had done their work well and at sun up Kartoom gave up. Conld Readily Believe It. An old country gentleman re turning home rather ? te, discovered a yokel with a lantern 'under his kitchen window, who when asked Vis business there, stated he had omy come a courting. "Come a what?" said the irate gentleman. "A-court lng sir. I'se couriing Mary." "It's a lie! What do you want a lantern fcr? I never used one when I was a younj' man." "No, sir," **as the yokel's reply; "I didn t think yer 'ad, judging by the m,issus."?The Argonaut. Manhattan's Population.

The famous Palmillo mine near Parral, State of Ch'huahua. Mexico, which pror'uced" for its owner Pedro ;*.:...???''. *. ?!f.D.(Jill!.: . :> <n k!x y - ? has parsed iliid the uandb <jt A.?eri cans. Dp to the time-the American min ing engineers, were admitted to the Palmillo mine it was a complete mys tery to mining men. Alvarado would never permit any one except his Mexican laborers to go into it un til he reached a decision to lease it. It Is the opinion of mining ex perts here that Alvarado will obtain greater profits from the wonderful mine by leasing it than he did while operating it himself. It Is said he paid no attention to the science of mining in taking out the ore, and that vast bodies of ore of great rich ness are still untouched. Under his methods it cost $1S per ton to mine, transport and treat the ores. It is shown by recent tests that this cost can be cut down almost one-half, and that the ore is ideal for cyanide treatment. The lessees are installing the most modern machinery, and the mine is to be equipped so as to increase its production to the fullest limit. I Under the terms of the lease Alva rado is to received 45 per cent of the net profits of the mine. He also re ceived a cash payment of $100,000 when the lease went into effect. Alvarado, who only a few years ago, was a peon w?.? king in the mines for thirty-five cents a day, is prepar ing to dnjoy his millions of dollars of wealth which the Palmillo brought ; him. He has planned to do a great I deal of charitable work, such as pro [ viding homes for the poor, building I and endowing schools.' and erecting church edifices. He has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to ' the poor people of Parral during the ! last few years. He erected ~ Catb- | olic church here at a cost of $200, 000. He will soon visit the City of Mexico, for the purpose of investi gating the condition of the poorer classes there. He contemplates establishing a great industrial school in that city, where the children of the poor will be taught trades of various kinds and trained In industries and given knowledge of a practical kind. The marble p?Iace which Alvarado elected here a few years ago is said to have cost $2,000,000. It is lo cated on the bank of the Parral riv er, and beyond tht wealth of carv ing which the exterior stones bear does not have a gaudy appearance from the outside. The wide stairway which leads to the upper floor is of onyx; gold and silver ornaments are to be seen on every hand. A large room of the palace is fitted up as a chapel and the altar is of solid gold. In every room Us a piano, and in cages ranged along the halls are hundreds of canary birds. The story Is told that Alvarado keeps many millions of dollars of his wealth In cash stored in a big steel vault or cage in the basement of his resldenco. It is known he never comes into Parral without bringing ?. large sum of money which he dis tributes among the needy poor peo ple. He is only thirty-eight years old. It is his ambition to visit the United States and Europe, and now that he bas the active management of the famous Palmillo mines off his hands, It is probable that he will soon car ry out his desire for extensive travel. Bank Like a Watch. ' A pocket savings bank in the shape of a watch and of no greater dimen sions, is being Introduced by sav ings fund organizations as a means of opening new accounts and In-1 creasing old ones. It is -made substantially of two j pieces of steel nickel-plated. The banks are distributed to patrons < POCKET SAVINS BANK. . and after being filled are returned to bo opened and the contents placed to the credit of the depositor. They hold five dollars in dimes. In assembling the parts after emptying, the bank is caught at the bottom and secured at the top by the setting of an; eyelet. Gout the Foe of Consumption. Sir Dyce Duckworth, in his ad dress to the faculty of medicine, said that many persons were con stitutionally predisposed to rheuma tism and gout, but an important characteristic in such case? was the antagonism of the tissues to the ba cilli of tuberculosis. The more rheumatic or gouty a person was the loss pronounced was his tendency to consumption.?London Post. Great Fertility.
