BOMB MADE OF CAVIAR.
Polish Gentleman Startled Over q
Mysterious Package.

PARIS, March 30.--A Polish gentleman
with long experience of bombs In his
native country, which some years ago he
left for Paris the other day put in an APP
pearance at the police station agitated
with fear He had received a parcel con-
tanning a small barrel clamped with iron,
which was obviously an Internal machine.
Several policemen used to handling dyna-
mite were at once sent round to the Poles
house and carried the bomb away with due
precautions to the municipal laboratory of
chemistry, which is fitted up for the exami-
nation Of such engines.
The machine, gingerly manipulated, was
put into a pail of water and finally opened
with every care. 1t was found to contain a
greenish-back oily substance, consisting of
small round pellets In thick liquid.
chemical analysis was being begun of
small fragment of the unknown matter
when an assistant in flash recognized it.
The murderous engine was only bomb Of
caviar which is, of course, indigestible, but
not otherwise deadly. Manipulation in the
laboratory, however, had rendered this par
ticular caviar UNBEATABLE.

ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS.
Interesting Discovery Anticipated in
Research in Armenian Life.
I'm to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CALCUTTA, March 30-It is just posi-
BILE that very interesting discovery of an
cient manuscripts will be made in the near
future. AS one result of the visit of the
ameer to Calcutta attention has been
directed to a small community of Chris
tons from Armenia, who have been living
in Cabul for very many generations. These
people in the time of the late Ameer Abdur
Rahman had dwndled down to ten families.
They were, for reasons unknown, banished
to Peshawar, and brought down with them
a collection Of manuscripts said to be of
immense value and antiquity. Indeed they
are so old that none OF the families pos
sessing them are able to read them. ~
1t appears that the priesthood had died
out among these Christians in Cabul and
the community was too remote to be able
to get priests from elsewhere. Hence the
neglect of the sacred writings. In the tradi-
tional history of Armenia reference Is made
to an afghan" country where the early
Christians found a refuge from persecution
1t has hitherto been thought that by
afghan" country was meant the noun
famous regions in the vicinity Of Georgia.
