a Macedonian Wall

A writer in the FOrtntghtIy Recie,o, Civ
ing a sketch of Turkish cruelties that fell
under his observation, says:
The sufferings of the rural Christian
population of Macedonia from officers of
the army, beys and other irresponsible
MOsIems of rank and influence are almost
incOnceivable. During my stay in Us
cub, a young Turkish officer who was
registering in quite an open manner in
a restaurant, in the company of pasha,
was pointed out to me as Ads or ldris
Bey, a man of whom 1 had heard a good
deal. He is the son of Hadji Alta Bey,
member of the council of USCub, and the
owner of large estate about three hours
distant from the town. Idris Bey and his
boon companions are the terror of the
whole country for thirty miles or more
around Uscub. About the end of May
of last year, Idris Bey and about a dozen
companions with tastes similar to his
own, made an excursion to his fathers
chiflik. The chief of the adjoining viii
lage, a Bulgarian, was seized, carried to
the chiflik and submitted to the faVOrite
method of torture in vogue in Macedonia
| he was hung up by the heels. When
| the poor old man could no longer endure
the agony he suffered, he consented, at
| the request of Idris Bey and his follow
ers, to compel all the other peasants in
| the village to repair to the chitiik, and
| bring with them each hundred piasters.
This was but preliminary to a grOsseT
outrage. When the affrighted peasants
appeared, piastres in hand, Idris Bey and
his associates seized them. Drawing
their revOlvers they threatened the peas
ants with instant death unless all the
girls of the village were brought to the
chiflik. What could simple, unarmed
men do in the teeth of such a horde
These girls, many not more than twelve
years of age, were compelled to be pres
ent at the drunken orgies of the MOslen
youths, and for three days and three
nights they were submitted to every in
!. dignity and outrage which q lOathsOmt
Oriental imagination could devise. An
other brilliant specimen of the officers
in command in Macedonia is BYer Bey
! A few weeks before my visit to Uscub III
had Christian girl of great beauty kid
mapped from her home at the foot of tn
| Karsiack mountains, and brought to hi
house at Uscub. Being possessed o
4 spirit the girl made some resistance
' whereupon Byer Bey killed her in tn
: most horrible manner with Il red-hOt iron
The father of the girl-KalchOtf, | be
, lieve, is his name-went to the KOna
and complained of the cruel theft of hi
t daughter in the first instance, and of he
6 still more cruel death in the second. Th
=, redress he found was Imprisonment fC
having the temerity to accuse a Bey {
Uscub of any crime against dog of
q = Christian.

In Olded times quartermaster's SER
gent might squint his left eye along a
field piece and have it fired with the
hope of hitting something somewhere.
Now, however, the sighting of cannon
is more difficult to do than the solution
of a problem in comic sections to a
school boy. Six instruments must be
used in France before the word ''firc' is
given. The anemeter measures the
force and velocity of the wind. The
pressure of the atmosphere is taken by
means of a barometer. The sights are
graduated with the pressure of a certain
figure and of course a change must be
made if the pressure is greater or less.
Next Il hygrometer gives the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere. The degree
of dampness materially affects tue re-
sstance offered to the flight of a cannon
ball, although to meet one of them you
would not expect it would mind damp
ness or anything else much. a planchette
is used where the object fired at is out of
sight A telcmeter or range finder is
employed to ascertain the distance of
objects fired at, and finally a thermometer
mives the temperature, as the sight marks
that would be all right in warm weather
are too cold for ffreing in cold weather. At
