declaring that this the government
could not do. Why, they asked,
should the government wish to sell
the famous necklace? Then tie truth
was told. The marvellous gems had
begun to lose their luster.
1t is claimed by many that pearls, il

The Zallnsh dynamite gun is op-
Grated by compressed air. Dynamite,
It Is we'll known, Is easily exploded by
a sudden shock. and because Of this
fact II cannot be fired from an OF.
dinary gun or cannon. Compressed
air, however is highly elastic as well
as powerful. and these qualities make
Il possible TO fire safely and effective
~ from a gun whose motive force is
compressed air a shell containing a
large amount Of powerful explosive.
AS developed by Capt. Zalinski the
gun is about fifty feet long and is Is
inches interior diameter Three such
guns form the equipment Of the dyna.
mite cruiser vesuyius. which was tried
in actual warfare against the Span
iards before Santiago harbor. In 1890
the first official tests OF the invention
we're made by a committee OF naval
officers on the Delaware river near
Chester Pa. Shells uearly nine feet
long. weighing with the inclosed dyna-
mite more than 500 pounds. were fired
The naval officers had so little faith in
the invention that they withdrew In a
tug to a distance Of a mile before they
gave the signal for firing. This test
showed that the shells could be fired
safely and sent more than a mile with
the certainty Of exploding on striking
or at the end of the time for which a
time fuse was set.
Subsequent tests by the United
States and foreign governments
showed an effective range up to two
miles. Owing to the fact that the gun
must be inclined upward so as to
throw the she'll in a high curve and
drop it upon the target the invention
is considered by naval experts hardly
practicable for extensive use aboard
ships. AS a means of coast refense.

ing that American manufacturers join
English manufacturers in a concerted
curtailment movement, and that the
American manufacturers refused TO
take such action.
1T is reported that the officials
of the International Association ca
bled an official of the American Asso-
citation that there was every likelihood
that England would adopt short time
in the mills; that already some con-
tinental countries were running short
time, and asked that meeting of
American manufacturers be called to
adopt similar policy of curtailment
Of production to thwart the alleged
rampant speculation.
In declining to comply with the ia
quest it was shown that American
mills do not consider curtailment
practicable at the present time, since
they are generally fairly well sup
piled with cotton and orders. That
present prices of cotton are justified
by crop and trade conditions, and are
not of speculative nature, is said
to have been the opinion expressed
in the answer. 1t is also reported that
further reasons were set forth why
American manufacturers do not find
curtailment necessary at this time,
which were, in effect, as. follows:
That, as rule isolated cases not
referred to) mills are supplied with
cotton sufficient to run them until
the new crop is ready;
THAT during the past few days the
dry goods market has materially i'm
proved, and that still further improve
ment is anticipated;
THAT considering the heavy curtail
ment of last year, it would not be
practicable to adopt a general policy
of further curtailment at the present
time, although it is probable that in
mills will curtail from now
until the new crop comes in. At pres.
ent an individual policy, on this mat
ter, is deemed wisest;
THAT crop conditions all over the
cotton belt are unfavorable and that
the amount of unsold cotton is small;
"That while yarn mills are likely
making little or no profit, cloth mills
are making profit.
"In the opinion of mill men inter
viewed, the refusal of American manp
lecturers to join in cooperative cur
tailment movement, indicates a very
decided improvement in general con-
ditions\ affecting the American mills.
