By REYISTAS FOR BOMBS.

What would man want with two
hundred pieces Of cast iron pipe, each
piece about six inches in length?
stranger appeared at the
place of business Of local dealer. YES
tcrday afternoon. and inquired if he could
obtain two hundred pieces of east iron
pipe, one end to be fitted with a cap,
with the other end to be fitted. but left
open for Il purpose. He specified that
the pieces should be about six inches
long. Srmp!es Of stock OF hand were
shown. and when the customer found
what he wanted he decided he would take
Il hundred pieces. For these he paid 50.
and stated that he would return this
morning for the other hundred. This he
did.
The dealer did not inquire the name
o. the purchaser, or the purpose he had
in purchasing the many pieces of small
pipe nor did the purchaser volunteer
any information concerning his purchase.
lie placed the pieces Of pipe in q burlap
sack, hoistcd the load to his shoulder
and thus carried the iron merchandise
away-whcrc is not learned.
The purchase has caused considerable
con occurring in the minds of many who
have been told of the deals. IT is re-
called that in the Reyes neutrality vio
lation trials in this city a year and 4
half ago similar pieces of pipe that were
to have been used as dynamite bombs,
were Shown in evidence.
The manner in which the bombs are
made is this: A hole is drilled through
the capped end Of the pipe and through
this hole fuse is slipped, and on the
inside a piece Of tape is wound around
the fuse to hold il in place. The rest is
simple, All that is necessary is to place
the piece Of dynamite within the pipe

MOTOR TRUCKS BOOM
 MACHINE BUSINESS
(American Machinist.)

(Amerfcan Machinist.)
 The motor truck is becoming a fac tor in the machine industry more rapidly. than we realize. Many con- cerns have trucks of varying capacity to handle the usual short-haul truck boring plants and find them great time savers as well as being almost in vartably cheaper than horses.
 They are also entering much wider field, and competing with the railroads in the delivery of finished product, within a radius in some instances as high as 60 to 100 miles. The poor freight service of many railroads is unintentional1y aiding this in many places by holding up local shipments, which are the only kind that can be successfully handled by the motor truck at the present time. With the extension of good roads their field of usefulness will be greatly widened.
 Several recent instances in New England serve to illustrate the point. After being repeatedly annoyed by freight being held week in transit on distances of from 10 to 50 miles, a motor truck was purchased. It has given a good account of itself in every way and has been used more widely and for many more purposes than were originally thought of.
 In one case a large machine was wanted in hurry from a, maker 30 miles away. Instead of going to the expense of cratfng, risking- 8 weeks delay and the too frequent possibility of damage in transit, motor truck was sent for the machine. Instead of the usual delay, the trucking from maker to railroad and from railroad to user, to say nothing of the two handhngs, a motor truck delivered the 5-ton machine right to the factory the same afternoon and probably at less total cost in addition to the prompt service.
