EADLY PINE CONE BOMB.

Marveleusly Ingenious Mechanism
Made By Barcelona Anarchists.
The small ball Of metal In the shape
Of q pine cone picked up by M. Chav-
igny In Paris a few minutes after the
attempt against Alphonso XIII and
President Loubet was made, was real
~ n Of the famous bombs sent to
France by the anarchists Of Barcelona
M. Chavigny, happening to see this
cone, little thought he was In the pres
ence Of a deadly machine. Being a
great collector Of relics, he evidently
thought 1t was a piece Of grille work
torn OF by the explosion that had just
happened, and put It carefully in his
vest pocket.
M. Chavigny went to call on a friend
in a tavern situated On one Of the
~boulevards. He told his friend about
the explosion and exhibited the piece
Of metal he had picked up and SC
carefully thrust into his pocket. The
head of q bolt covering the lower
aperture Of the pine cone drew the
friends attention, and they started to
unscrew this bolt. An end Of waxed
thread, holding in place q glass tube
appeared.
Then M. Chavigny realized that this
ball of metal was not the result Of the
explosion, but a bomb itself.
With the greatest Of precautions the
head of the screw was replaced ant
ten minutes later M. Chavigny PLACED
the pine cone on the desk of NJ. Pes

formed M. Girard, director Of the mu

principles on which 1t was founded In
'a&e4 by a split In a colony Of Austrian
immigrants to Paraguay. 1.-THE houses
OF the settlers lie together and form a
small village, and are small, pretty and
clean; they have only one story, and
are built Of boards and shingled or
rooted with mazega grass. The roof
hangs far over the side walls and IN
supported by posts, a detail which al

one side of the house is a small out
building which contains the kitchen,
and every house has its garden. Little
plantations of sugar cane lie betw cen
the houses and the gardens"
Up to the present the dwelling
houses cover only a quarter of the
space which has been reserved for the
village, and when Herr Lacmann WIS.,
tied the place there were some twenty
houses occupied and 10S in course Of
erection. In time the buildings will
form a great square, which will lie
about a larger open square. In addi-
ton a number Of smaller public places
nave been provided for, which will lie,
as those already in existence, between
the houses. ''There is an absolute

Spots Of the South.
The name Andersonville has become
historic because Of the famous prison
where from $4,000 to $4,000 Federal
soldiers, who had been captured by
the Confederate army, were confined
from 1854 to 1865.
The story of ~Andersonville has be-
come a familiar one in every house

Transport (Pa.) Grit. The part which
the prisoners at A~ndersonville played
In demonstrating the superior patriot
ism of the American soldier is I'M
rivaled. There is nothing in the worlds
history that surpasses 1t. "In the
midst of suffering indescribable they
refused the comfort and safety tempt
ingly proffered them by the enemy
and remained true to their colors ever
unto the DEATH" Time. the great heal
er, is rapidly obliterating the harsh
ness and bitterness connected with 1t.
Future generations will learn from 1t,
