Brgands In the Caucasus are becoming
holder than ever before. Extraordinary
stories OF their recent outraGes are coming to
hand. The following is a typical instance:
The other day band OF twenty-four men.
with u pack horse and ammunition up
rroached tho village OF Zaturofr. in the Baku
nAphtha region. They met four peasants. and
asked where the richest man lived. The first
peasant refused to say. and was Immediately
cut down. The second. declining to give any

A new explosive has been discovered which,
so the Swiss inventor asserts. will supersede
dynamite. The explosive was tested the other
DAY at Thun. 1t will not explode on eoneus-
sion and can be carried and stored safely. 1t
does not spread Injurious yapors after the ex-
ploslon. and does not freeze. The manuiac-
ture is inexpensive. Tho explosion takes
place only at high temperature by means OF
an electric current IL cannot effectively be
thrown as bomb, nor IL 1t easily fired The
journal De HsHere suggests that II these quail
tiles are established. the manufacture and sale
OF dynamite may be forbidden by international
action. Another wonderful thing about the
Invention 10 that the inyent tor has offered 1t to
the Swiss Government for nothing.
