ridge Factory and Shop for
Repair Of Firearms, -*

The efforts made by the powers
to prevent the importation of arms
and ammunition into Abyssinia have
constrained the Abyssinian govern
ment to erect cartridge factory in
the capital, Ads Ababa: The cart
ridge manufacturing plant has been
purchased in Germany, and has a
capacity to turn out ten million cart
ridges year.
The building destined to receive It
has already been completed, and the
machinery has been dispatched from
Germany and is about to arrive at
Ads Ababa. The factory will have a
workshop attached for the repair of
military weapons in which from fif-
teen thousand to twenty thousand
rifles can be repaired every year. The
mechanics required for this service
have been engaged in England and
are also on their way out to take up
their work in Ads Ababa. Power will
be supplied to the cartridge factory,

PRICE OF PEARLS GOING up
American Jewellers, However, Are
Using Them Extensively and 'sesm-
ingly Have Large Supply.

Reports from abroad foretell a rise
In the price Of pearls, but nevertheless
the high class jewelers. are preparing
some of the most elaborate pearl
jewels ever shown In this country. Fes-
toon necklaces, corsage ornaments
and tiaras are some of the larger
pieces, while rings, bracelets, pins and
brooches, pendants, watches, chains
and earrings are all pearl mounted.
Although quantities of pearls are boz
ing used, the quality is we'll above the
average in the best jewelry, and even
when the European markets have
only scattering of the finest gems
merchants here have some splendid
pearls and are only inconvenienced
when they are called upon to match
those of unusual shape or tint: other
wise the market seems to be we'll
stocked.
A dull market is not expected on 40
count of the advance in price, but
rather the jewelers. are looking for
ward to added interest and lively trad
ing.
A remarkable rope necklace priced
at $750,000 was seen lately that puts
to flight the notion that finely shaped
pearls are becoming scarce. for In this
one the gems are wonderfully matched
throughout the entire length of it's 60
inches. The necklaces that. sell for
from $25, 900 to $4,000 can be found
at any of the best shops. :

Manual "Wireless."

A new form of generator has been
developed by the United States signal
corps for use with it's portable wire
less telegraph sets. It consists Of a
small generator, the motor of which
is driven by hand cranks through a
suitable gearing. Two cranks are
provided, so that two men may drive
the motor at the same time, and If
necessary four men may be employed
two at each handle. Low and high
speed releases are provided, which
disengage the driving gear when the
speed rises above or falls below pre-
determined limit, SO that the motor
may be kept at fairly constant
speed. The generator is capable Of
turning out about 200 watts, and it is
light enough to be packed on a mule.
The portable generating set has q
sending capacity Of about fifteen
miles.
