A BLOODY WAR IMMINENT.

The crisis in the Levant is rapidly APP
preaching. If it is true, as reported in
the New MEx1oAN's press dispatches yes
terday, that Russia and France have with
drawn from the compact of the powers
against the unspeakable Turk, it means
that they will soon be openly arrayed
in Turkeys favor against Great Britain,
Italy, Germany and Austria. Then the
battle for the straits of Dardanelles will
begin in earnest. Which will get the up
per handf Which will control CONSTANT
nople. Will there be the greatest war the
world ever knew, or only fiare-up to end
in the establishment of peaceful protec-
torate over Turkey? 1t looks very much
like war over there. When the first gun
Is fred in the Dardanelles then the
slaughter of the innooents will commence
in earnest. The subjects of the sultan
will wade in carnage and blood. They
will wipe out the life of every Christian

GET IN the TAXES.

The financial officers of the several
counties will be called upon the first of
next month to present a statement of
their stewardship. The law requires this.
In many counties the record for tax COL
lectiops will fall far short of what it
should be. Indeed, outside of, possibly,
Chaves, Sierra, Socorro and San Juan
counties, the showing will be anything
but agreeable. This is not as it should
be. The taxes must be collected. The
NEW MEXICAN sincerely hopes that the
collectors will set about it at once and
make vigorous and earnest effort to
gather in the taxes.

De YOUNG SEES THE POINT.

II is significant that Goldbug Brice,
who poses as Democrat, should have
been the first to declare that the Repub-
licans would have walk over In 1896.
Doubtless the wish was father to the
thought.
It is equally significant that NJ. H. De
Young should tell the New York Herald
that Brice doesn't know what he is talk
ing about. De Young IL a journalist
whose mind is as..broad as the universe;
nothing escapes him; he knows what 10

and when he tells tho Wall street folk
that free silver and Democracy are likely
20 occupy the White house after 1895, he
speaks from knowledge gained by very
close contact with thel.masses in the
south and west.
Nj. De Young gives the figures for the

loves The Democratic party less that he
speaks thus, but because he loves the Re-
publican party more. He understands

voted exclusively to the disposition of
were pending on the 'federal side Of the
court. Asto territorial business it ap-
pears that the grand Jury was the most
laborious and energetic body that per-
haps was ever empannelled in the terri
tory, and the good work they did coming
up for disposition by the petit jury
showed the latter equally earnest and in
dustrious in the cases disposed of on the
criminal side of the territorial docket.
Of the criminal cases tried there were
forty-two convictions, three acquittals by
the jury, five found not guilty by instruc-
tions of the court and some sixty old
cases we're dismissed from the docket,
making ITO cases disposed of in all.
1t is n remarkable fact that of this
numerous trials not one resulted in mis-
trial. The Judge has not contented him
self with holding sessions by day, but the
rule has been that trials, to certain ex-
tent, extended into the night. great

portance, but no jury trials have been
had of civil cases becsGse of the large
criminal docket. A special term has
therefore been decided upon, to begin the
first Monday in January, exclusively for
that purpose. 1t the same energy and
perseverance is exhibited at that time as
at this closing term, of which there is no
doubt, the disposition of cases on the
civil docket will be such as will certainly
make it easily manageable hereafter.-Al-

Engraving on Diamonds.

Diamonds can now be engraved in

is expected 1t was long believed that
the diamond could not be engraved
with safety or satisfactory results. \
few stones roughly engraved we're
found in India, and a diamond was eN-
hibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1878
on which a portrait of the King Of
Holland a scratched. But the work
was very imperfect, and the stones
were rather demolished than engrav-
ed.
Some Of the finest examples of en-
craving on diamonds are the work Of
a Paris jeweler. One is a curious
scarfpin, representing a yataghan, OF
which the blade Is a slender diamond;
the handle is a ruby. Another exam
pie is a large circular stone On which

years old. He was the son of William

ThOrnhill. DumfrieSShire, and was
bonn ut Pentpont on Feb. II, 1858.
He obtained his early education, as so
many eminent ScotChmen have done,
in the parish school Of his native
place, from which lie went TO the Uni
versity Of Edinburgh. There a pre-
objection for natural history which he
had early displayed led him to enter
the science classes, in several Of which
he gained honorS, carrying off the gold
medal in geology and zoology. He
went to Africa for the first time in
1878. Among his best known books

Use of Birch Oil.

A very large quantity of birch oil.
that helps to give root beer its refresh
ing flavor. is manufactured iii the
wilds of Connecticut, and with q sim
plicity equaling sugar making in the
Vermont forests. Birch twigs are cut
into ever lengths Of five inches and
thrown into water-tight tanks, having
copper bottoms; a coil of steam pipes
is arranged in the bottom. and three
feet of water poured in, the tops are
Dramatically sealed. steam turned on
and the water kept boiling for six
hours. Into the side Of each boiling
tank a steam pipe is inserted and runs
in the form OF a worm into a barrel of
cold water, and cold water is flowing
continually into this barrel: the steam
rising from the boiling birch twigs
passes through this pipe and is CON
densed in the worm, while the oil
drops from the end of the pipe into 4
small receiving jar or pail. The oil IA
it drips down being a dull brown IS
carefully clarified until a very light
green: and. instead of chemical pro-
cesses, Qualification is accomplished by
simply spreading a heavy wooden blan-
ket over the wood inside the tank. In
a proper kind of still, however, the oil
now drops out pure and ready for
market. One ton of birch yields four
pounds of oil, and the oil is
worth So or more 4 pound.-Philadel-

IN THE USE OF SLANG.
r.nerieuce in brooklyn shows Peril
I'm the Word Rats"

HI inc
new illustration of the dangerous
confusion that often is created by the
prevalence of slang is furnished by the
following incident:
4 professional ~rat-catcher went to
fashionable club on Tuesday evening
and at midnight he had bagged fifty
rats. With the living fifty rats in Il
baylor this professional Sco"ns TO
kill any ats on the premises-he left
the fashionable club and started home.
Then appeared an unknown policeman,
who said:
Where are you going"
None Of your business answered
the rat-catCher.
80 that's your swag." said the po-
liceman, sarCastically tapping the bag
with his club.
Nary swag," said the rat-catcher.
What have YOU in the bag, them
Here We come to the first crisis OF
The story, for the reply was RATS.
The policeman then punched the pro-
ieSSiGnal for what he, perhaps reason
ably regarded rs his impertinence.
Moreover. he grabbed the bag and
thrust in his inquiring official hand.
Here comes the second crisis of the
story. for at least seven rats grabbed
that hand. The policeman yelled and
shook off the rats end the other forty
three leaping from the bag the street
was soon full of rats. The poor police
man. with rats to the right of him
and rats To the left of him and rats in
an Indefinite vista before and behind
him, fed into the night.
This is not the first time that slang
has Indirectly created confusion in the
world. The rat-catcher had no suspic-
ion that the policeman would take his
explanation amiss. This is the trouble.
The slang that creates disaster is gen
orally used unwittingly. May the pres
ant picturesque warning be needed
