CoNsTANTINopLE, November 12.-As
a result of the exchange Of numerous
telegrnms with their governments, the
representatives Of the powers held an
important meeting and decided to send
fresh strong representation to Tur-

any of these outrages it is believed
these powers will no longer confne

5 says a contemporary: "One of the
hrst uses to which the current gen
Grated at the large Niagara Falls cleo
tric plant has been put is the manufac-
ture OF aluminium from bauxite by
aelectrolysis. What the value of such a
source OF electric current may be to
factories in the neighborhood of Nj
agara, to say nothing of those at dis
rance, is suggested by the fact that.
although the present aluminium works
are constructed to produce 5000 pounds
OF pure aluminium day, the complete
success of the electrolytic process has
convinced the management that the
doubling of the resources of the factory
by Its means is comparatively sim.
pie matter. More pots are to be nut in
as rapidly as possible, until 10000
pounds of the pure metal, worth IN
small quantities SOC a pound, is being
turned out daily.

The New Prononn.

An effort is being made by some
pronoun in the English language to
supply the place of he or she, him or
her, himself or hersolf, ETC., when we
use the masculine and feminine gender
together.
The new word is to be thon, and if
oddity has anything to do with it its
introduction ought to be successful.
But will it not sound odd to say:
" The boy or girl who is diligent in

that cannot be stolen" instead of
The boy or girl who is diligent in
