WAR NEWS.

A Constantinople dispatch of the 25th
says: Safvet Pasha, in reply to the manifes-
to of the Gar, has sent a long circular dis
patch to the Great Powers. 1t protests
against a declaration of war, pointing out
the efforts of Turkey TO improve the position
of Christians and satisfy the demand of the
Powers. In the absence, therefore, of
any provOcation on the part of
Turkey, Safvet Pasha declares
the Porte is at loss to understand Russia's
attack, and consequently appeals to the
Treaty of Paris and the mediation of The
guaranteeing POwers....In the Turkish
Chamber of Deputies several Christian mem
bers protested against Russia's assertion that
she declared war for the protection of Chris
tians i'm Turkey They declared they did
not desire the protection of Russia.
Christians were ready to take part
in the defense of the country.
1900 Russian troops had crossed the Dan
ube into Roumania....Th London press
unanimously condemns the Russian mani
festo.. Berlin dispatch reports that the
Powers will probably make no.attempt at
mediation until one or two serious engage
ments are fought on the Danube. 1t is GER
tain Germany will take more active part
than heretofore in any new negotiations.
The. following is the full text of the
Sultan's proclamation to.the army:
Russia has declared war. We are forced TO
take up arms. We have always wished peace,
listening TO the advice of the Powers in this
respect, but Russia wants to destroy our indie
pendence; and so, if Russia attacks us, God,
who protects right and justice, will grant us
victory. Our soldiers will defend with their
blood the country gained by their ancestors,
and, with the help of God, maintain the indie
pendence of Osmanli- The nation will pro-
tect the wives and children of the soldiers.
should it be necessary, the Sultan viii go to
the army and raise the standard of the kha-
lefat and the Sultanate. The Sultan is ready
to sacrifice his life forthe honor andindepend-
ence of the country.

Testing Petroleum.

In a recent lecture in regard to test
ing safe and dangerous oil, DIR. Chand-
Ter showed some interesting expert
ments. Some oil was placed in an open
tester and gradually heated on a water
bath with thermometer. 1t was found
to flash or give off combustible vapors,
at about 10 deg, Fah,; and it burned
at 11s deg, being what is called very
safe oil. He then placed some of this
same oil in closed vessel resembling a
metal lamp, but provided with a cork
instead of the common head or burner,
and having electric wires attached. On
heating the oil to So deg, and sending
spark through the vapors, an explo-
sion took place which blew out the cork
with a loud report, showing that oil
which has been consideredsa safe gives out
explosive vapor at ordinary summer
heat
