copyright, 1895.

Between the two mountains Caraiman
and Omul there extends long crescent
shaped plain which is named the Stag g
valley. At the foot of one of these
mountains and leaning by the side of it
may be seen a long line of gigantic stone
figures, whose profiles and hands are
even now distinguishable. They are not
unlike the forms of Egyptian idols.
The following curious legend is re-
lated of them:
1t is said that these lofty mountains
were once peopled by race of giants,
naughty and strong, respected and
feared by their neighbors, for whatso-
ever they undertook was always sure to
be crowned with success. -'s:''"SsI
They passed their lives in the open
air, slept ON the snowdrifts and bathed
their bodies from earliest infancy in the
icy waters of the turbulent Pelesh river.

San Antonio haslhad poultry
show that has been Jan unmixed
delight to those who witnessed it,
and a genuine source of pride to
those who promoted it and parti-
cipated in it. There is no reason
why the same success and Isthe
same patronage and the same pride
should not center in regular fair
and live stock show in this city.
The poultry show had no horse
race annex, and if a creditable
racing meet cannot be given along
with the fair then let there be
none. That fair can get along
without horse trot that is not on
the absolute square.

What the upshot Of the attempt
ed reorganization Of the republi-
cans in the United States sem
ate will amount to is not certain,
There is no doubt that there is just
a numerical possibility Of their
controlling the committees, but
they do not possess the power to
elect the chairman of the several
COMMITTEES without the support OF
the populists, who are on their
dignity as the representatives Of a
party of their own, and disinclined
to come into any deal. Billy Pfef-
fer's beard Is curling with the
weight of the wisdom that it waves
beneath, but there is no salvation
in it. 1t would be well for the re-
publicans not to organize the SEN
ate, inasmuch as they have only
q plurality and not majority.

ON A POWDER KEe.

The old conundrum: III a man
has hold OF tigers tail, had he
better hold on or let go? Is
aptly illustrated by the situation
in Turkey. That whole country is
much like keg of powder upon
and around which the sparks are
falling in showers, and any one Of
them at any time may drop into
the bunghole and send the whole
business in the air. The powers
have INTERVIEWED for the protection
OF the Christians in Turkey, but it
is an open question as yet whether
the remedy will not involve a
greater loss of life than the dis
ease that it is1intended to cure.
The fanaticism of Moslem hate
is too we'll known not to arouse
grave fears as to the result Of any
decided movement to intervene
between it and it's century old enc
my, the christian Armenians.
Those followers of Mohamet deem
paradise a reward sure to be be.
slowed upon those who destroy the
enemies Of Islam, and in their fan
atheism. would put Armenia to
the sword, certain though they
were to perish themselves with
their enemies. This Is what so
complicates the situation and rem
ders Great Britain so reluctant to
force measures, for the first gun
that sounds over the waters of the
Bosporus may be the signal for
lighting the fires of destruction in
every village and hamlet of Ar
menia. Their ancient hate inflamed
by the present insult put upon
their religion (as the Mohamme-
dams regard this inroad upon them)
what is there to stay their work of
destruction, particularly as their
determination of the Christians
opens to them the gates Of their
paradise and the favor of all the
houses that people its volup
tuous groves and temples.
There is not a life in the in
terror Of that country today
that is not in danger, and this fact
is as well known to the powers as
the cruelties that have drawn to-
gether the navies Of Europe in
remonstrance, before the palace
gates of the sultan. 1t requires
but an accidental spark to kindle
that whole land in conflagration
that will burn till it consumes
every soul which does not accept
islamism. In view of this fact 1t is
idle to delay the immediate evacu-
alton Of that country by the mis-
sionaries and Christian teachers Of
every class. If these people desire
the crown of martyrdom, in emu
lstion of the fanatics who threaten
their humiliation, that is another
matter. II they desire life and
the prevention of greater disaster
they will at once remove them
selves from the vicinity Of the
Turkish powder magazine.

Galvanic Browning.

By means Of a recent French improve
ment the process Of galvanic bronzing
is said to have been made not only more
simple, but capable also of giving every
tone, from that of barbedian bronze to
antique green, governed by the length
Of time that the copper is allowed to
remain in contact with the liquid. Aft
er the piece has been we'll secured it is
covered by means Of a brush with a
mixture composed of 20 parts Of castor
oil, 80 Of alcohol and 40 parts each of
soft soap and water. Thus treated, the
piece left to itself for q period of "a
hours becomes bronzed, and if the dura-
ton Of contact be prolonged the tone
changes, a very great variety Of tones,
pleasing in their appearance, being OBJ
tainable in this manner. The drying is
finally effected with hot sawdust, the
only remaining operation being then
that Of coating the piece with a color.

Blue Rays XIII Germs, but Red Does Not
Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, experimenters have not been Who'll
" agreed IS to the exact property or
field Of the suns rays which is most ef-
ficient in action OH bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor Fl. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course of
his work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are the most
effective ones? might be best obtained
by shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining q photograph Of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during the investigation
which may go far to account for the un-
satisfactory character Of the determina-
tions Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening Of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays of the beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
a weakening caused by the distribu-
ton Of the incidence Of the rays over a
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms.
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
~paired-in other words, that they We're
stopped-by the material GLASS through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that the light Of a dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain a very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in a
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, etc, and exposures Of
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posures required to be SO long as to be
almost impracticable. Popular Science
