New Kind Of Bomb.

During the raid on enemy aliens In
New York city. the police discovered
IN entirely new kind Of bomb, writes
q Gotham correspondent.
1t consists of finely constructed
cedar box, divided into two cOmpart-
ments. On one side Is the space for
the explosive. which may be dynamite
or nitroglycerine. On the other side
is the mechanism that discharges the
Illuminating cap. A strong coil spring
ia released by the slightest tug on
the handle of the box. When the mp
puratus is set merely lifting the box
IL sufficient to explode the contents.
BY inserting small steel pin In the
partition the bomb Is made safe and
may he carried about like tool case.
Withdrawing the pin and closing the
lid means certain death to the next
person who lifts 1t.
"Just imagine what q thing like that
could do in munitions plant" Ger
tain Tunneysaid. But he would moi
throw any light on the circumstances
under which the bomb was found.

Bible War Bread Recipe.

The ninth verse of the fourth chap
ter of Ezekiel reads rs follows: Take
thou also unto thee wheat. and barley,
and beans. and lentiles. and millet,
and put them In one vessel and
make thee bread thereof"
In the thirteenth century David
Klmchl, the commentator wrote: 1.-THE
prophet thus warns the dlsobedient
children Of Israel that, during the
siege Of Jerusalem. they will not long
or be able to make their bread with
pure wheat, hut they will have to mix
1t with all kinds Of grain and vegeta-
bles with which flour is not made, un.
less extreme need makes 1t necessary
to do So"
War bread in Europe Is now made
according to the recipe Of Ezekiel
But 1t is not baked with the same kind
of fuel. For particulars see Ezekiel

Good Resolution Didn't Last.

When Nathaniel Ripple was just
youngster he did very little work about
the place. In fact he didn't do any
thing. But one day, when he was al
most ten years OF age. he decided to
take some Of the work of his mothers
shoulders. When breakfast was over
he ordered his mother to the front
porch. He was going to wash the
dishes for her. When they were nm
ished he called her to look at them,
and she was very much surprised. She
could hardly believe that he had done
all that work by himself. Then he
told her that he was going to wash
them for her every meal. OF course
she was glad, and she told him he
might run out and play. Him play7
Not a bit Of it. He took the broom
nnd swept every floor in the house.
Mrs. Ripple, who is very truthful
woman, said that he swept them just
as good us she could have done it her
self. He then informed her that he
was going to sweep them for her every
day. That was the last time Nathaniel
ever washed the dishes or swept the
floors.-Clnude Callan in Kansas City

Scheme to Capture German.

And this was received by the COM
mander of the Department Of the
East a New York correspondent Of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes: II am
enthusiastic over scheme that has
entered my fertile brain to easily cap
ture thousands Of German soldiers
without firing round Of ammuni-
ton. If the war department does not
see fit to use this wonderful sugges-
ton. then the responsibility for the
continuance of the war must rest on
the shoulders of those who have re-
jected 1t. The scheme is a simple one
and is easily put into execution. Un-
der cover of darkness have the SOL
diers strew the ground between OPP
posing trenches with fly paper. When
the Germans come over the top to Mt
tack they will. Of course, get stuck
and will he easily captured. Can any
thing more practical or simple be
imagined?"

SNAKES A NATIONAL ASSET
Reptiles Eat Rodents That Destroy
Grain-of the Many Species
Few Are Poisonous.

Snakes. says a writer in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine. are national
asset worth many millions Of dollars.
Snakes eat rodents. The more snakes
the fewer rodents. The fewer rodents
the more grain for human cOnsump-
ton. Ergo. the more snakes the more
food and prosperity for humanity.
The snake prejudice Is common. al.
most universal. Many humane peo-
pie kill a snake at sight merely be-
cause 1t Is q snake. Others. especially
those who wear skirts. flee terror.
stricken from snakes presence for
the same arbitrary reason. 10 study
snakes In friendly way. to try to
understand them rs q part Of natures
scheme, Is a new idea.
In the East there IRE several snake
clubs that devote themselves to the
study of snakes aud 10 propaganda
of kindness toward serpents. Tho
arguments are convincing; quite us
unanswerable us the arguments
against the wnnton killing Of birds.
Snakes, like birds, are friends of the
farmer, and, therefore. benefactors Of
all of us.
There are Ill species of American
snakes. and Of these only II are VEN
Omous. No snake. venoin0us or other
wise, ever wantOnly attacks human
being. The pretty little garter snake
and the big black snake. the common
est varieties, are wholly inOffensive.
1t will. OF course, be impossible to
kill the anti-snake sentiment in day.
The hostility of man to the reptiles
seems to date from prehistoric times,
and is. one of the most firmly estab-
lished Of human traditions. The won.
der is that any snakes have survived
the ruthless warfare. II 1t Is now
made sufficiently clear by science that
the snake Is one Of mans invaluable
benefactOrs, snakedOm's future may
be much brighter than its past.

1t Is many years since Inst the clock

the sun, the number Of days since the

age Of the moon. the hour it crosses

It is stated that when Anne of Den

Hampton Court. the clock, which was
striking the hour ut the moment. i'm
mediately stopped. and 1t is alleged to
have done so for many years whenever

USERS OF EXPLOSIVES MUST
SECURE FEDERAL LICENSE.

A Federal licence is now required
in the United States for the legal
possession of explosives, any person
having explosives and not holding a
license therefore being subject to
fine of $4,000 and Imprisonment for
one year.
Only citizens of the United States
and friendly countries may obtain
licenses. The purchaser of dynamite
must state definitely what the ex-
plosive is to be used for when obtain
ing his license, and will be held ac-
countable for its use as stated and
the return of any that may be left.
With the strict enforcement o.
this law the Federal authorities hope
to prevent explosives falling into the
hands of evilly disposed persons, and
to put a stop to all further dynamit J,
plots.
