Can you tell me how they make
shootin' crackers. ... .t.s ~,
They are made OF strips OF soft
pasteboard impregnated with some
combustible or explosive material.
These strips are doubled over several
times and then rolled closely around
small piece Of composition-that is,
powder mixed with sulphur and other
things in paste that will burn readily
with kissing sound. Usually little
pure bursting powder is put in before
the composition. SO that the burning Of

robbers had cut out the laden pack camels

For a time 1t seemed that all was lost,
for even drinking water had been taken.
But the shiCk, who had recognized the
raiders as belonging to a southern tribe,
declared that despite their number he pro-
posed TO surprise their camp in the night
and win back their spoils.
But this desperate eXpedient was rem

get into communication with the robbers
and when they learned who he was they
brought back everything they had taken
even TO the bits on the camels.

anyone who knew much about diamonds.
He replied that real diamonds are like
nothing else upon earth, and that anyone
who understands them can easily detect
the real from the false.
The man showed me models in glass of
all the diamonds cut by the factory, in
GLIDING some of the largest of the world.
He showed me real stones ready for sale
worth thousands OF dollars, and among
others, several diamonds strung upon wires
as fine as a hair, just as though they were
beads.
The holes in these diamonds were made
here in Amsterdam. There is only one
man upon earth who knows how to do it.
His process is a secret and so far no one
has been able to initiate it. The holes he
makes are as fine as a hair, but not

which reach out to every part of the world,
and especially to the vast population of
the Dutch East Indies.
The big factories of Java are largely
owned by American capital, and our sugar
making machinery and other such things
could be sold through Amsterdam.
The government operates many OF the
railroads in The East Indies, and railroad
materials for Sumatra and Java might be
placed here, and the same Is true, as far as
the government is concerned, as to water

ings.

The flour is hauled through he streets

and sometimes hauled by dogs. Our oil is
