Big Jewelry Swindle.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 25.-De.
velopments up to date indicate that
through q great swindle, manufac-
turing jewellers in Rhode Island and
other states have been robbed of goods
valued at half a million dollars. Ten
arrests have already been made in
Alabama and Texas. One of the al.
legged conspira tors was ready to crosse
into Mexico when he was taken into
custody.
The scheme was to buy jewelry
throughout the country and ship it to
Montgomery. After that, the reports
say, dummy packages we're sent from
q Montgomery firm to other stores
controlled by It. These we're then
credited as the real shipments of val
liable goods and 90 listed. The stores
were then set on fire, it is alleged and
the dummy packages were listed as
lost.

Farmer Explains High Prices.

WASHINGTON, April 25-Why pork
chops and pork roasts cost more now

was the subject of evidence given at
the senate food probe today by Peter

Dakota. Mr.. Peterson said he sold
hogs at prices ranging from $3.50 a
hundred pounds in 1900 to 1858 in
1909. The price then jumped to $3.50
as the average from January to this
week. Corn products, on which hogs
we're chiefly fattened, averaged Sc
cents q bushel in 1908 and 569 cents in
1909, in comparison with from % to 4C
cents several years ago.

Made Of Two Powerful Explosives

Made Of Two Powerful Explosives
knsaded Into Paste.
Cordite is the outcome of the strange
paradox that if you mix together two
powerful explosives the result is a
smokeless slow burning powder. Nj
troglycerin and gun cotton mixed to-
gether with little petroleum jelly
make cordite. 1t is curious to see the
two deadly explosives being kneaded
together into a paste by women with
the same unconcern as dough is knead-
ed for bread. Indeed. machines SINH
lar to those used in bakeries take up
the work and knead the buff colored
cordite paste for seven hours. Then it
is forced through molds and issues in
long Conscience the name cordite-
the thickness Of which is varied &C.
cording to the weapon in which it is
to be used.
For big guns cordite is half an inch
thick and cut into lengths of thirty
seven inches. Rather more than a
thousand of these cordite sticks pack
ed in two bundles make up the car
fridge for twelve inch gun. For the
rifle cOrdite is pressed into very thin
string like the finest macaroni. and
sixty Of these strands one inch and a
half long make the neat little bundle
which lies inside the cartridge case.
For some European armies cordite is
made in fat thin strips like whale
bone. Kept away from fire. cordite
can be handled with impunity.-Lon-
don Graphic.
