Brutal Outraxes Perpetrated

Constantinople, May IA. - The COM
mission investigating the atrocities in
Armenia, after visiting numerous villages,
where 100 houses we're found burned, re-
ported that the people were sheltered in
miserable huts, and that there was ample
proof of the truth of the stories regard
ing the massacre of Armenians, and of the
fact that their bodies were thrown in
large numbers into pit, where the
Turks endeavored to conceal their crime
by pouring barrels of petroleum upon
the bodies and setting fire to the oil.
The flames, however, failed to consume
the mass and stream was diverted from
its course in. order to wash away the half
burned bodies, but even this failed to
obliterate the terrible evidence against
the Turks, and the local authorities were
compelled to remove the remains piece
meal. The villagers had removed the
bulk of the bodies and inferred them in
consecrated ground before the arrival of
the commission at Jellygoozan. The
commission has returned to Moosh.

and destined to develop into true and
lasting prosperity. All advices from
financial sources indicate that, when that
point has been settled, there will be an
extraordinary demand for American
investments. The Importance attached
to this contingency appears TO be mainly
due to the fact that the United States have
become such commanding factor in the
trade of the world, and also to the growth
of confidence in our investments, as COM
pared with other sources from which new
issues may come.
This confidence has already found
remarkable strength of expression. Dur
ing the past week, $lO,0oO,O00 of our cor
porate bonds have been placed in Europe.
This, added to $G6.0OO,OOO of previous
negotiations, makes $7G,OOO,OOO of secur-
ties placed abroad since the date of the
syndicate loan negotiation; and yet the
syndicate still holds $11 100000 ofbonda,
any portion Of which stands available for
shipment. If any evidence were needed
of sharp turn of European confidence
toward American investments, surely
this should suffice.
Europe no doubt still retains some re-
servations on account of the continued
unsettled state of our phase of the silver
question; but those misgivings have moth
ing like the effect upon confidence that
they had previous to this year.

SOURCES OF ARTKsIAN WATER.
The work of examining and mapping
the water sources of the United States,
with special reference to srtssisn wells in
the western states, is being carried on
steadily in charge OF 4. Il. Newell, of the
geological survey, who is now preparing
summary of the more recent work,
which will soon be ready for publication.
California stands at the head in the num-
Der of artesian wells, having aboat one
half of all those in the country. Utah and
Colorado coming next, followed at long
distance by Texas. The most interest
ing district lies in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas. Here the ground slopes
from west to east and there are CON
tinual faults in the strata preventing
water from travelling from any great dis
tance. Where the strata are not faulty
they are undulating and wells sunk near
the center of the long undulatisns usually
tap water that has flowed from each side.
Few of these wells flow, but they can be
worked by windmills. These wells are
small and will irrigate only a few acres
at best. Newell thinks that if the farm ers
there would try to cultivate only as much
land around their houses as they could
irrigate by means of their wells and de-
vote the remainder of their farms to
grazing, or perhaps to wheat OCCASION
ally, they would be better off than now.
JAPAN's ADVANCE.
The recent achievements of Japan have
led her to turn her attention to securing
treaty with Nicaragua in which she
would secure marked privileges in the
Nicaraguan canal. The subject has been
under consideration at Washington be-
tween DR.. Guzman, representing Nicara-
qua, and the representatives of Japan.
The negotiations are still pending and
no doubt exists among officials that
satisfactory treaty will be made giving
Japan privileges in the canal commen-
surate with her growing power as a mill
tary and commercial nation.

TIRE LsAPPiais A. MEN.

The Holmes Gazette, OF Georgia,
thinks the happiest mon in the
world are those who keep out of
debt, out OF politics. out of Office,
shun notoriety, make an honest liy.
ing by honest means, humbly serve
God, quietly pursue the "even
tenor of their way" and neglect no
opportunity of doing good. Our
contemporary in the main is right,
but how many of our fellowmen
meet all these requirements?
Very few Of mankind. as rule
have lived up to this standpoint. If
they had the world would be the
better for it. There would be less
pain md trouble; less distress OF
every character, and pence the
world Knows not of. The majority
or men OF this class may keep out
OF debt and likewise out of politics
TO an extent that would iniure their
business, rest of mind and their
friendships.
There is no need of men counting
notoriety. Tho seeking OF the same
gives trouble. 1t should not be hard
to make an honest living by hon.
est means" and men who humbly
serve God are all the happier there
for, while those who neglect no op.
portunity to do good are fully re.
warded by the relief they aQord.
But there are very few who possess
all OF these virtues-who live up to
the standard of those whom our
contemporary considers the happl-
est Of men.
