W ~ n Z have heard good oeal
MA lately about gun-running on
s the Persian gulf and of the
efforts to suppress the traf-
fic. A military expedition
recently left Bombay to cooperate
with the British navy in an endeavor
to stop the smuggling OF arms. The
illustration will afford an excellent
idea of how this work is being carried
out by sepoys, who are here seen en-
trenched on the sea coast in readiness
and on the lookout for gun-running

cred themselves from Persian control
and are equipped with modern fire.

Gun-running is dangerous business
in any country. An old gun-runner In
New York said recently:
II have carried guns over the Afg-
han frontier, across the northern bor-
ders of India into Afghanistan, when
a rifle would be worth upon delivery
literally its weight in silver. 1t would
be taken from off the came's back
and put into a balance, bars OF silver
weighing down the other side. But it
meant many privations and much toll.

gun-running out of New York. The

Drilling With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value,
however, will undergo fluctuations, de-
pendent upon the price of the dia
monds. Perhaps $500 is fair value
for O bit. The diamond used is OK
ceedingIy hard-harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their cara
price Ia considerable, averaging, say
$50 carat. The diamonds used will
weigh from one to two carats, so that
eight have a value ranging from s4Se
to $500, on the average The loss OF
bit means so many diamonds gone
and may lead to difficulty with the
hole. The diamond is not tough, but
brittle. IL will withstand heavy
pressure If applied evenly and with
out shock. 1t can readily be seen that
drilling through seamy rock may be
