' e s e Expert Gunmen 'Meet More Than Their Match in the'Knife Throw- ers of the Argentinel The danger zone encircling a gaucfm (cowboy of "the Argentine)- with his knife in his hand is by no means lim- ited to the: circle he sweeps -with ‘his extended arm. I am not sufe just how far it does go, nor have I the least dedlrg to find out. I heard, however, a crack revolver shot, a man who could blot out the spots on a ten of spades at a dozen paces, say that he would be extremely reluctant to take his ‘chance at a draw-and-let-go with a gaucho at any distance under 20 yards. R An {lluminative case in point came to my attention. in Buenos Alres. Asa class the -American- agricultural ma- chinery experts sent to Argentina are as handy with sixshooters as any 1 have ever met. They afe mostly west- erners, have used revolvers from their childhood, and their arms, from which they never separate.themselves for a moment while in campo, are always of the best and latest pattern. Not once or twice, but on dozens of occasions, have I seen one or another of these men with his Colt’s or Mauser “automatic,” after a prelim- inary shot or two to get the range blow over a rabbit running at full speed across the pampa. This is good shooting, as will be appreciated by anyone who has had experience with the revolver. Yet the case I have In mind is that of a thraShing machine expert from Texas—a crack shot—who had trouble with his Argentine maquinista, had an even break on a draw at 25 or 80 feet, and was retired from action with a knife through his shoulder be- fore his revolver was clear of its hol- E.

BLADE QUICKER THAN PISTOL | DISTILLING ATT .oF roses | WHY DRUGGISTS RECOM- ° Business in Which a Great Part of Bul. _qaria’t Population Is Vitally Interested. . Every year in Bulgaria there is an immense harvest of roses in which the people take a good deal of interest. This rose crop, says a writer in‘the Philadelphia Puplic Ledger, is the sup- port of one hundred and seventy-three villages and amounts to some twenty- five million pounds of rose. flowers. It is for the world’s supply of that rare perfume, attar: of roses. From all these million pounds. of Vlooms, however, the average yearly distillation of pure attar amounts only to'about ont hundred and twenty thou- sand ounces. It takes from one hun- dred and sixty to two hundred pounds of rose flowers to make one ounce of attar, and there, are about three hun- dred roses to the pound. The distillation of rose flowers is carried on, during the progress of the harvest, in copper boilers with condens- ing attachments; the first product of distillation is redistilled into what is known as “second rose water.” This double-distilled water is very strong in odor and very turbid in appearance. It is full of -tiny, yellow-white, oily globules, and when the long-necked bottles in which the rose:water runs are filled they rise to the top. These globules are the real attar of roses. They are skimmed with little conical spoons and put into separate bottles |'that have little holes in the bottom but not the oil.
