BOW ANAHCHISTS MAKK IIOMHH.
Mnnu.'nrtiire Their Out of All Sort!
of Article nn I'trnnlln.
The bombs employed by anarchists
nowadays aro very simple contriv
ances, as compared with the elabor
ate "Infernal machines" of thirty or
forty years bro.
That this Is so la largely dun to
Itorr Most. who. In his "Scientific
Revolutionary Warfare," taught his J
discipies now 10 manuracture Dombi
out of all sorts of articles and uten
sils In 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 Sllber
steln out of one of the brass balla
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, Lov.-evcr, filled with nitrogly
cerin, tho most powerful explosive
known to science, and the basis of
dynamltv.
The Fronch Anarchlnt Valllant
utilized a small kettle wherewith to
manufacture the bomb that he after
ward exploded with terrible effect
In the ohamber of deputies at Parts.
A saucepan filled with blasting gela
tin sufficed Emile Henry, Vaillant'i
chosen comrade, who by Its aid suc
ceeded In simultaneously blowing to
pieces six unfortunate policemen.
Ravachol used upon one occasion
a metal fuBe-box filled with fulmi
nate of mercury, and upon another
a glass Ink bottle with a screw top,
In order to destroy life. Tho bomb
which Bourdln carried to Creenwlch
Par... in 1894, intending to blow up
the observatory there, but which
exploded prematurely an- killed
him, was Just an ordinary piece of
Iron piping, with a couple of roughly
made caps screwed on at either end.
An IOIeplinnt's Shx
Kartoom, the young male Soudan
elephant In New York city's wild
anlmul preserve In the Bronx. Is a
much puzzled pachyderm Just no-.v.
As a matter of fact Kur
toom ought to bo very proud,
but he isn't. Shoes may be all
ripbt for some elephants, but Kar
toom is a "close-to-nature" pachy
derm and Is cloarly opposed to all
modern Improvements. In the
heart o. the African Jungle he found
no need for shoes, and doesn't see
aay more reason for pinching his
"tootsy-wootsies" with '.hen. 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 hla right hind foot a large
leather and metal shoe, the second
elephant's shoe on record since the
beginning of history, so far as
known. Some time ago. Dr. Blair,
the animal's family doctor, found
Congo, t-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 shoo
tor the Soudan elephant also.
The shoe Instead of causing Kar
toom any pride or delight, only ex
tlted his dlsf ust and anger. He
Stayed awake all night Industriously
trying to dislodge the newfangled
tontraptlon with his trunk, tut the
loologlcal bootmakers had done their
work well and at sun up Kartoom
Rave up.
Could Readily Believe It.
An old country gentleman re
turning home rcther - to, discovered
yokel with a lantern under his
kitchen window, who when asked hla
business there, stated he had only
-me a courting. "Coma a what?"
ld the Irate gentleman. "A-court-Ing
sir. I'so counlng Mary." "If
I He! What do you want a lantern
tfrT I never used one when I was
youn- man." "No, blr," was the
yokel's reply; "I dldn think yer
'd. Judging by the missus. "

CHAKMH A.I INCANTATIONS.
How Some IVnnsj Iviinlnng Use Then
for KfincilioM Analnst Ills.
Witchcraft superstitions are stir,
widely prevalent In Eastern Penn
sylvanla. according to William W.
Nelfert, who In tho Pennsylvania
Gorman, cites a number of favorlU
charing and Incantations:
To euro snake bites: God has cro
nted all things and they wore good.
Thou only, serpent, art damned.
Cursed be thou and thy sting Zing,
Zing. ZlnB.
To prevent accidents. Carry with
you, scved to your right sleeve, the
right eye of a wolf.
Security agalnBt mau dogn: Dog,
hold thy noso to the ground. God
has made me and thee, hound.
To banish the whooping cough:
Let the child drink out of a blue
felass tumbler. (This dlsep.se was
known as the "blue cough," and on
the principle that "like cures like,"
tho child drinks from a "blue glass"
to cure a "blue cough.")
To euro baldness: Rub the Fcalp
with the homtHphcre of a divided on
ion. (This was a strong charm If
the vegetable was fr-sh.)
To curt fits: Take off Vac ch'.ld't
shirt, turning It Inside out while do
ing so,, and then burr, the garment.
To destroy warts: Stick a pin
througi. the wart, and give away the
pin, when the wart will follow tha
pin.
To make the best elder lnegar:
After the cider Is put into the cask
call up the names of throe of the
crossest and most sour-tempered
old women In the community, nnd In
a lo'id voice utter their names Into
the bung hole, and Immediately cork
It up, and you vlll have the bent and
strongest vinegar In the neighbor
hood. A remedy against slander: If r-on
are calumniated or B.andered to your
very skin, to your very flesh, to
your very bones, cast It back upon
the false tongues. Take off your
shirt, and turn It Inside out, and
then run your two thumbs along
your body under the ribs starting at
the pit of the heart, thence down to
the thighs.
To bring a thief to confession and
make him restore stolen property:
From the door sill over which tho
thiet has passed take three splinters
In the name of the Trinity. Fasten
them to a wagon wheel removed
from the spindle, and through the
box or hub, pronounce the following
prayer: "I pray thee, Thou Ho'y
Trinity, to constrain the thief who
has stolen my (name of the article
stolen) to bo stung by remorse and
restore it to Its rightful owner."
This done, the wheel is to be re
placed by fastening It to the wagon,
when It was given three revolutions,
and the stolen goods were expected
to be returned.
A New Gunpowder.
There has been Invented in Ger
many e powder which is said to give
no flarebuck whatever, even in guns
of the largest calibre. The compo
sition of the powder Is not known,
but It is supposed to consist of nitro
glycerin, nltro-cellulose and vase
liLe. The prevention of the flare
back, however, Is believed to be due
to the incorporation in the rowder
Ol a small amount of some chemical
w lch has proved to be thoroughly
effective.

THE COLUMBIAN,
THE MALDKN'H CAT.
Meowing of lire Feline Saved Cap
tain; Wife and Crow.
"There's one thing In which rata
and rats agree." said Cnptaln Clinrlea
W. Rates, of the Ronton schooner
Maiden, as he wandered across tha
floor of the Maritime Exchange, "and
that Is, that they both will leave a
sinking ship. Ho It wnsn't so much
of a surprise to me when the crew
of the Maiden grow a bit supersti
tious when our tabby lenped over
the rail with a piteous wall and sunk
In about forty fathoms off tho tho
coast of Georgia.
"We'd been fifteen d.iys out from
San Junn, bound for a Florida port,
but a gale drove us several hundred
miles further north than we hna) In
tended going, and when tho Mai
den's pussy leaped to her death we
all had been guesssing for forty
eight hours what would happen to
our vessel.
"Lylg on her starboard beam
one moment and on her port the
next, with seas washing over us so
that wo couldn't move ncrosg the
ieck, the Maiden was acting crazy
enough for any shlplond of deep sea
mariners. The night before the cnt
vent free of the schooner's rail It
had a dream, to which my wife nnd
I can testify, for we were awakened
by the ghastly meowing of tho fe-
JUMPED OVER THE" RAIL,,
line as she stood, with back up and
hair on end, at the foot end of our
bunk.
"What was still more strange,
both my wife and I had been dream
ing of a chlpwreck when the cat
awakened us, and the 111 omen was
so apparent that I told Mrs. Bates
to dress and I dressed myself. On
the watch I found Simpklns, the
mate, and five members of the crew,
all working desperately to save the
Maiden which was wallowing In a
sea such as I had never seen be
fore. "Matters kept growing worse
very minute from the time I got on
deck, and It was shortly before dawn
that the cat went over the side. That
settled the crew ind the men who
had been working at the pumps,
with the water gaining on us every
minute, decided that I should or
der the boat lowered and cut away
from the Maiden. The schooner wrb
leaking like a sieve, and one might
as ".veil have tried to pump tho At
lantic dry as to pump the Maldc.n
free of the briny.
"Well, what happened to the
schojner need not take long to tell.
She went down like a lump of lec.d
and we had barely time to get the
boat away before the topmasts d's
appeared under the water. Idy wife
and I and the crew of six drifted for
a dozen hours before a Far East
tramp bound for Savannah showed
her lights and stopped for us. We
were taken to Savannah where we
received every hospitality that could
be extended to as dreay a lot ot
eight shipwrecked mariners, Includ
ing one woman, as ever drifted
around the coast.
"Will my wife go to sea again?
Well, I reckon yes. The next time
I get a ship you'll see her shipmates
with me, and she has told me that
we won't go to sea without a cat
either, for the meowing of the Mai
den's tabby undoubtedly saved our
lives."
Turks Objected to Horse's Names.
The horses belonging to the late
British Ambassador at Constantinople.,
Sir Nicholas O'Connor, have been
sold by acctlon. The usual notice
was put In tiin local press, but the
censor took exception as there were
horses In the list with the names
Pasha, Sellm and Haroun, which he
considered was offensive to Turks,
and the list had to appei i without
tho nTf.ea. London Telegraph.
