So Departed the Colossus,

The remains Of the Colossus OF
Rhodes have been dispersed beyond
possibility of recovery. or even Of trac.
ing. 1t stood for little more than half
q century, and then. in 224 B. c., was
overthrow by an earthquake. The
Rhodians raised from benevolent out
siders large sums Of money for It's res
toration, but divided the fund among
themselves. asserting that the oracle OF
Delphi had forbidden them to set II
up again. So there the ruin lay until
672 A. D., when the Saracens sold It tc
Jewish merchant, who loaded 90C
came's and went away-uterally-with
the brass.

Two Boys, Cow and Two Calves.

This is a short story of how two
Vermont boys. still in their teens,
have made some real money on a thor
oughbred Guernsey. They paid 5000
for the animal when she was two
years DID, and as their father was a
banker and they were away to school
farmer was induced to keep the ami
NAL for them. They owned the COW
little over two years and during that
time she had two calves. The boys
found ready market for the calves
and have just sold the COW, the three
animals having been sold for 1925
The farmer charged them 1925 for
keeping of the stock and other ex-
penses and the boys will net 500
apiece from the transaction. The boys
are quite satisfied with their invest
ment and incidentally have become
somewhat interested in life upon a
Vermont farm.-Springfie,d (Vt) Re-

activities the police made elaborate
preparations to trap the malcontents.
On March 2 of this year they seized
two young anarchists, Frank Ablano
and Charles Carbone, In the act OF
setting OF q second bomb in st. Pat
rick's cathedral. The capture was
most dramatic, being rade in the
midst Of church service. The po-
lice had been stationed all over the
interior of the ediflce, some dis
guised as scrubwomen and others as
ushers. A young detective who had
wormed his way into the anarchists
confidence was there obviously as
their confederate, and the bomb plant
ers were allowed actually to light their
fuse before they were arrested and the
fuse stamped upon.
Among the numerous unexplained
mysteries is the bomb received
through the mails by Judge Otto Ro-
salsky in his home on Riverside
drive March Is, 1912. 1t was meant
to explode on opening, but something
went wrong in the mechanism and the
Judge was not injured.
The famous bomb expert of the po-
lice department, Owen Egan. was
summoned to take charge of the bomb.
and while he was examining 1t in the
judges library it went off. badly in
jured Egan's hands and shattering
much of the furniture in the room.
Another sad and mysterious case
was the death of Ida Anusewitz.
stenographer who was killed Deem
Der IL, 1918. by the explosion Of an in
fernal machine she received in the
mail of her employer. the president Of
a bottling company.
On February 2, 1913, Mrs. Madeline
Herrera was killed in her home in the
Bronx by the explosion Of a bomb
which her husband had picked up in
the vestibule. On February 3, 1912,
Mrs. Helen Taylor was almost instant
ly killed by a bomb contained in a
large cigarette box which she received
from a uniformed messenger in her
home at No. 103 West Seventy-sev-
enth street.
An attempt was made to explain the
Rosalsky bomb and the Herrera and
Taylor murders by the activities of
Henry ]. Klotz, city craftsman.
Attention was directed to him when
he was fatally injured while expert
with explosives in his home.
but these three mysteries remain un-
solved.
Gamblers wars were a fruitful
source of bombs before the murder of
Herman ROsenthal by Charles Becker
and his accomplices. but of late the
gentlemen Of chance have been less
active.

Anarchist bombs are usually more
spectacular than those of blackmail
ers. Churches, courthouses, the resi-
dences Of men of wealth and position
are their targets. A bomb was found
at the door of Andrew Carnegie's fine
mansion upon Fifth avenue a few
weeks ago. All well-to-do citizens are
being forced to employ bodyguards.
In the fine districts east of Fifth ave
nue. the jewellers on block often club
together to hire an armed night pa.
troll. This is protection against bur-
glars, but the growing danger OF the
bomb crank has caused the guards to
increase in number.
Only an insignificant percentage OF
bomb crimes result in arrests and
convictions Of the perpetrators. Plant
ing bomb seems about the safest Of
outrages. The bomb itself Is almost
always so shattered that the fragments
are useless as clues.

On the morning Of November IA, 1914,
the fuse Of bomb suffering under
a bench in the Tombs police court
caught the eye OF Policeman George
l.. O'Connor. He started forward
and grabbed the bomb, which had
only three inches of fuse visible. and
started for the doorway. He tried to
rub the fuse out, and failing in that,
he jerked the insulated fuse from it's
fastening In the heart OF the explo-
sive. The bomb consisted OF two
pounds of mixed black and smokeless
powder and about thirty loaded car
tridges.
O'Connor's Quickness and pluck
probably saved the lives of Magis-
trate John Campbell, his wife, and
many spectators in the courtroom.
The placer of the bomb was never de-
tected.
