Bomb Makers
Among the
Anarc6irfS

TIME persistent attempts OF the
anarchists on the lives of royal
%persOnages in Europe and the
frequency Of assassinations in
Russia have called attention to the ac-
tivity Of the devotees of the red flag
and the righteousness Of their methods
Of murder. The bomb which was
thrown at the king Of Spain and his
fair bride OF their wedding day was
concealed in a bouquet, and none knew
that behind the flowers was a terrible
weapon Of Observation-Disclosures but the
man who threw it at the happy royal
pair and his confederates, II such there
were The manufacture Of bombs for
the killing OF human beings Is a dan
ger0us and an abhorrent industry. yet
It is carried on upon a scale Of surpris-
ing extent, and into it enter the in
ventions and discoveries which form
some Of the marvels of modern science.
The activity of those engaged in it is
such that Andrew D. White, ex-lninis-
ter to Germany, recently suggested the
formation of an International govern
mental alliance for the suppression of
such operations. The United States,
though 1t has not suffered as Euro
pean countries have from the energy
Of murder perpetrating societies, Is not
entirely free from danger in this re-
spect. The death of President McKin-
ley, the threats against the life Of
President Roosevelt and the settle
ments Of anarchists discovered in va
rious parts of the country are proof
Of this. Nor are all the assinations
and bomb explosions which have oc-
Cured In recent years in America
traceable to the work Of professed an
archists. The death Of Governor
Steunenberg Of Idaho was caused by n
bomb, and the workmen who were
killed on the station platform at Inde-
pendence, Colo, were blown up by
such an engine Of destruction. It Is
not supposed that the men responsible
for these crimes were anarchists.
France seems to be the principal cen
ter of the bomb making industry at
present. In Paris so many outrages
have occurred through the activity Of
agents of this kind Of warfare that the

MULTIPLE MEAT PRESS,

Threaded through the crosshead Is a
hand screw. which is adapted to press
the press plate down on to the meat.
The boxes for the meat are so made
that they a be readily taken apart
when desired to emove the meat. Each
box consists of two angle pieces, which
are fastened together at opposite cor
ners 10y hinge pins. The boxes have
no bottoms, but perforated plates are
placed between the layers of meat.
Each box IS formed with grooves a
opposite corners, which serve as
guides for the box above; also with a
series of perforations ca through
which the water and grease pressed
from the meat in the box above may
pour out. Vertical walls on the base
serve to contine these liquids SO that
they will pour through the perfora-

much abroad. he found that foreign

enlargement We're not adapted to this

lists today is chiefly his creation. When
he went into the service only eleven
persons were employed in it. and only
two Of these were professional forest
ers. There was no tield equipment and
practically all the work was office
work. At the beginning Of the pres

on In twenty-seven states and terrific

the most remarkable mountain in the
world and claims clear title to the
name by its 1000 feet Of height. its
three-Quarters Of Il mile Of thickness

manufacturers have been dreaming Of
the fortunes 1t holds in its big peck

~HE talk Of Clifford Pinchot as
the possible successor OF
James Wilson as secretary OF

tirement Of that member OF the presi-
dents cabinet has aroused interest
both in Mr.. Pinchot's personality and
In what he has accomplished as chief
Of the governments forestry service.
Forestry is one of the newest of the
professions. Mr.. Pinchot was one of
the first to adopt 1t as a life work. and
he left college less than twenty years
ago.. The forestry service is n branch
Of the department of agriculture. 1t
was established potentially. but not
actually, in 1876 by the appointment Of
Or. Franklin h. Hough of New York
to prepare q report on various forest
matters under the direction of the ag-
riculture department. The position Of
chief forester was created by act Of
congress e years later. When Gro
yer Cleveland entered upon his second
term he saw the force of encouraging
forest preservation and at the request
Of his secretary of the interior the Ma
honal Academy Of Sciences appointed
Q committee to investigate the question
Of a rational forest policy for the for
ested lands of the United States and
make a report thereon. Mr.. Pinchot
was appointed a member Of this CON-
mittee and helped draw the bounda-
ries of the forest preserves proclaimed
by Mr.. Cleveland in 1897. The forest
r. branch OF the agricultural depart
ment was first a division, was then
raised to a bureau and now Is known
As the forestry service. Mr.. PinchOt
has been at Its head since 1898.
