GODSPEED TO RUSSIA.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Does 1t not seem strange that three
quarters or elghths OF our kilograms by caoe
should be in the Turkish INTEREST," The great mass OF III
telligent English opinion is antTurkish, and yet the
most OF the extracts sent over the from The Pd
Mall Gazette, q rabid Turkish paper Even from INC
Times when passages sent, they are selected irom
some report unfavorabe Russia and the real tone OF
that paper which is strongly antTurksh Is not leu 10
appear
OF course there are exceptions otherwise the intention
would be defeated But there is not the least doubt that
the dispatches made up In the Turkish interest
Every true American must feel that the "Unspeakaole
Turk lis OF place in Europe The Turk is robDer
by origin plunderer and oppressor by nature and cre
by education. His Koran expressly commands war
against unbeevers and makes their destruction mert
rous. The government OF the Christian provinces Is
simply sysemaiZed rape, arson. and murder, diversified
by manning burning alive, and lmpailhg. Inns h;ts
lasted long enough and II Russia will thrust these mis-
creans ont OF Europe, lot us wish her Godspeed

SALT IN WATER.PIPES.

To The EdttOr or The IrtbNne.
SIR: In your issue of Friday correspondent
recommends that bag OF salt be placed in roof cutters
the leader pipe TO prevent the nuisance NOW so
preyacnO Of frozen leaders. This is all very well II the
cutters and leaders made of lead copper as they
ought be but tie fact is that in about 80 ont OF every
100 Of houses NewYOrk and Brooklyn the cutters and
leaders are made Of tin, and the salt would totally
destroy both cutters and leaders in short time by the
NEEDY proposed The true ana effective remedy for this
nuisance bring The leaders from the roof inside the
buildings and connect them with the main pipe THIS
plan will keep them always clear and every rain Will
thoroughly wash the drain pipes and there will be
exhaustion OF the traps of basins sinks or water closets,
and consequently unpleasant or unhealthy OdOfS. |
speak uuderstandngly this subject from long ex-
perence. 81 e. Z.

At noon Il changed fine mist, and ~ that hour 300
men and 100 carts were set at work The traiic on

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: 1t is high time that that utterly I'M

hope persons responsible for the Ashapna ais
aster will not 10 allowed 10 shelter themselves Dehnd
It, The following facts seem not TO be as wen KNOWN us
they ought to be. years ago 1t occurred to an Eli

II have used this method myself; whereas, ut ordinary
temperature the thing hardly be done Win
sledge-hammer Iron is exception to the general law
and cannot become less tough by cold Inc physicist
above referred to- submitted the matter to the fOOwbs
ingenious test
He selected iron wires aud rods OF various sorts ana
sizes suspended them by end, atd surrOuiie" ha
the length Of each wire with powerful rigorhc mix

wires increasingly until the wire broke In no case diu

course the wire would break at its weakest point anu
cold rendered iron liable break, the fracture would
have been in the colder part
This experiment showed that the prevailing hooh as
TO frost weakening iron is absolutely false Ne'erhc
less it is also true the rails OF railways are more
liable to snap periods Of great cold but TINS Is not Do
cause the iron weaker. Rails rest ON seepers an
these rest in the ground which at Ordinary Temperature
