ganiZed on vast scale n programme of
disorder and criminal acts Separate
groups of these revolutionists began
their misdeeds at the same hour and Mt
different points of the capital. Besides
reyolvers and daggers they used bombs
and dynamite.
about fifty of these men entering
separately into the Imperial Ottoman
Bank began by killing the guards and
policemen, throwing their heads into the
streets. Awaiting themselves of the gen
eral confusion that resulted they shut
the doors of the bank, threw bombs from
the windows onto the heads of passersby
Five Turkish ladies were cut to pieces bv
one explosion and two French clerks of
the bank We're wounded and would have
been killed if Turkish soldiers had not
hurried to their rescue
AT the same moment the home of
Djelal Bey, situated at STEAMBOAT, was
taken possession of by the revolutionists,
who threw rain of bombs on those who
happened to be in the streets nearby.
AT Haskeni, the military was attack
ed and one officer and many soldiers
were killed.
''At the Psomatia quarters another
band of Armenian anarchists took posses
sion of the public school and began to
throw bombs in all directions, killing
many innocent victims In many parts

church of Pera, great number of dyna-
mite bombs were discovered.

ial throne are indignant and their patri-
arch communicated, in the name of
Jesus Christ, all the criminals who put
in jeopardy the lives of innocent men and
women. The patriarch begged the sup

Caesars galleys first touched the shore of
Britain, and the triumphant Inaugural

When the island volcano KrakatCo, at
the northwest end of Sumatra, blew up
thirteen years ago, destroying over a
hundred thousand lives, every vestige of
vegetable life was destroyed. An OBJ
server after the eruption found that what
was left of the island was red hot Four
years later naturalist found that the
ashes had cooled enough to allow plants
to grow and that 246 different species of
plants had started up, the seeds of many
of which must have blown across the

MEASURING RoENTGEN RAYS.
\ Photometer Has Been Devised for the
New Light

a device to furnish quantitive meas.
urements of Roentgen rays has been
made by Mr.. Meslin, who, in .the current
number of the Journal de Physique,
gives description of a photometer for
the new rays. The principle of this pho
tomcter depends upon comparing the bril-
liancy of two halves of Il circular patch of
bariu- platino' cyanide, one-half being rem
dered fluorescent by the y rays, and the
other illumined by light rays proceeding
from standard source, such as a candle
or lamp. The light is passed through
colored glass so that the illumination
produced by it is of the same tint ~ that
produced by fiuorescence caused by the
y rays. BY means of this arrangement
the inventor has been able to verify the
law that the intensity of the new rays
follows the law of light, in varying in
versely as the square of the distance.
