MAKING OF BOMBS
GETTING TO BE A FINE ART
WITH ANARCHISTS
Followers of the Red Flag Gaining
More and More Skill in Con
struction Of Death-Deal-
ing Missiles.

Bomb making Is coming TO be a fine
art with certain class of individuals
whose ideas OF reform begin and end
In anarchy. and who expect to attain
their ends by discriminate distribution
Of death-dealing missiles. The recent
outrage in Madrid. when the attempt
was made upon the lives of King AL
lonso and his bride, has emphasized
the fact that the bomb maker and the
bomb thrower are still actively at
work, and that the former is becoming
more skilled in the making of his in
ternal machines. The bombs construct
ed years ago were not capable of
wholesale destruction of life and prop
srty, but recently, In various countries,
bombs have accidentally exploded in
the hands of their makers and have
created havoc over quite wide area,
In more than one instance wretking
whole floors of hotels or houses. Then,
too, the number of persons who can be
killed by a single bomb is now much
greater than It was when these engines
Of destruction were first introduced
No less than "a persons were killed by
the explosion of the bomb aimed at
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria a few
days ago, and about 80 were more or
less seriously injured.
A writer in a French paper a few
days ago described some of the meth.
DDS at present in use of manufacturing
bombs and internal machines. The
number of explosives that can be used
is remarkable. The easiest bomb tc
make, and, therefore, the one that has
been most employed by terrorrists, is
set In operation merely by turning II
upside down. This is generally made
of a good-sized tin biscuit box, or any
similar box. 1t is lined and PADDED
with paper and more than half fllec
with carefully prepared mixture Of
chlorate of potassium and ordinary
sugar. Into this a small bottle of a
certain acid is introduced, and the rest
Iof the space in the box is filled with
nails and scraps of metal.
The lid having been soldered on, the
machine Is ready for use. All the an
aTcnist has to do is to place the box up
side down at the place where he wants
the explosion to occur and then to take
to his heels. The acid quickly eats

ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Relished by All Animals
Even the HiPpopotamus Devours
Them with Pleasure.

'"The peanut is a delicacy relished by
all creatures" said a New York animal
lover. Il have come to this conclusion
after having offered 1t to every animal
in the Central Park zoo, and having II
refused by none.
ooh, l know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who oner
animals indiscriminate numbers OF
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel-or OF
any other creature, for that matter,
and l never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute.
Eyes, the camel is fond of them
very; and so are the peacocks. The
hippopot&mus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one ia, but the
mouth is so large and the peanut SO
small that 1 doubt If he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not.
1.-THE kangaroo pokes his funny
horse-like head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers of the pea
nut"

TIE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known TO Sailors Before the
Twelfth Century-Indispens
Adjunct to Navigation.

Some Asian people, perhaps ttns Chi
nese, discovered, many centuries ago,
that a kind of iron ore possessed a very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common lam
guage, lodestone, and 1t is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. 1t was found that
IL bit OF lodestone were placed In
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid 1t would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed a north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means Of an ore
that is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence.
1t is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power Of
the lodestone, but 1t is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. BY that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that If
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on lodestone 1t would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight OF
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the hapy fortune Of Ital'
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to British waters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps

Girl Horsebreaker,

Miss winnonah Won ohl,, a New
Jersey girl 20 years old, is making
quite a reputation as a horsebreaker.
Five years ago, a slender slip OF q
girl, she went to South Dakota with
her mother, who had been sent thither
for a change of climate. Miss Win.
nonah learned to ride bronchos out
there and on returning east she took
to training and breaking horses, in
which work she has been remarkably
successful. She has never sustained
any injury while thus engaged.

The latest improvement in this class of

Percussion bombs and bombs with

There are bombs made of nitrates,

Turpin's panclastite is also terrible

But these are far from being all of
the weapons In the arsenal of the up

addition to dynamite and nitroglycer-

was found to be nickel-plated. The
governor caught the bomb in his hand
and it did not explode. A little while
afterward another similar bomb was
thrown at him. This one did explode
and badly injured him. Other bombs
of polished steel have been found.
Chemists say that in the near future
liquid air and liquid acetyline will be
employed in the manufacture of bombs
