Discovered Under a church Near the kais.
sim PasIia Cemetery.
CoNsTA.NTISoPhE, Sept 1e.-Au Ar
menian bomb factory was discovered
by the police Thursday, located un-
derneath the Armenian church near
the Kaissim Pasha cemetery. From
the factory long tunnel had been ex-
cavated in the direction of a govern
ment powder magazine, the intention
obviously having been to undermine
the magazine and blow it up.
The government officials are urging
the foreign residents of the city to
sign memorial thanking the sultan
for the protection his majesty has af-
torded them. A number of English
men consulted Sir Philip Currie. the
British ambassador, as to the advisa-
bility of signing the memorial and
were advised by the ambassador to
tear up the document and throw the
pieces into the faces of the officials
that presented them.
The mosques were placarded on
Wednesday with an appeal to the
government on the part of number
of army officers that they receive their
arrears of pay without delay, other
wise the officers must help themselves.

No nation can afford to be unjust to its de-
tenders. The career of those who have suf-
fered in the military and naval service OF the
country Is a sacred duty. A nation which, like
the United States. relies upon volunteer serv-
ice rather than upon a large standing army,
adds to its own security when it makes gener-

Doctors Right of Way.

Over 800 physicians of Chicago
have already taken advantage Of an
ordinance passed by the Council few
weeks ago giving them the right of
way on the streets and over bridges
ahead of professions, parades, fire
lines, and other distractions that us
ually stop their ordinary traffic. Each
of the physicians applying has been
furnished with badge and special
permit, which entitle him to the priv
ileges of the ordinance and demon
strate his authority.
The badge is very pretty affair,
about the size Of quarter, and is
made of German silver in the form of
a circle 3.l6 of an inch wide, around a
red cross in the center. The cross is of
red enamel, and the circle of white.
The ordinance also applies to ambu-
lances, and is made to include all ply
sicians driving in answer toprofession-
al calls, to fires or accidents. 1t is de.
signed to afford relief as quickly as
possible to people who require the
services of physician. The permits
are signed by the Mayor and City
Clerk, and the badges are issued from
the City Clerks office on the payment
of 50.cent fee. The ordinance has
been effective about one month, and
the number of doctors using the privi-
leges granted them will soon reach
1000. demonstrating the popularity of
the ordinance and its provisions,

Testing Seed Corn,

1t is rarely safe to plant corr
that has not been tested for its
terminating quality. Farmers gen
orally try it by planting in boxe:
of earth, but there is q more sim
Pile and better way, Take a com
mon dinner plate and fit two OF
three pieces of thick wooden cloth
in the bottom. Over this cloth lay
the corn to be tested, mot less
than 100 kernels-evenly distribu-
ted. Pour in enough warm water
to cover the cloth. Then wet an
other thick wooden cloth and lay
it over the corn. Set the plate in
a warm place, and conditions are as
favorable for termination as one
could wish. The upper cloth will
keep moist as long as there is any
water in the plate. 1t does not dry
out so quickly as the soil in a box
of earth. Another advantage is
that you may turn back the upper
cloth as often as you please and
see what progress the corn is max
ing, and no harm will be done.
The test may be carried on in the
sitting room if necessary, and
everything about it is neat and
clean.
AS soon as third or more Of
the grains are well sprouted, they
may be counted and thrown out,
to make more room for the others,
When the seeds that had vitality
have sprouted, those that remain
may be counted. and the percent
age of growing grains easily calcu-
lated. 1t should be remembered,
however, that one cannot expect
so large per cent to grow in the
field as in a test made under such
favorable conditions. Also that
the poorer the seed corn the wider
will be such difference. If seed
is so perfect that 100 per cent. will
grow in the field it cannot deviate
from 100 per cent, test. But
seed corn may have low vitality
in some of its grains, so that in a
favorable trial 80 or 60 per cent. Of
it might sprout, when not above 10
per cent. would grow in the field.
Seed corn preserved over winter in
the ear is in the best condition for
making the test. Do not take all
the test corn from a single ear, but
take a single kernel from central
part of one hundred ears, and from
ears taken from different parts of
the bin, and you have a fair sample
of the whole stock.-American Ag-
riculturist.

Tough Job For Small Men.

The occupation OF boiler inspector
Is one in which a man cannot grow
fat without losing his job, and perhaps
is funny business in that respect.
Each boiler inspected is drained of its
contents, and then the inspector rigs
himself for dirty, job and wrig-
giles himself into the inside of it
through the manhole. This aperture
cannot well be made large enough to
admit large man. hence the smallest
sized fellows have the monopoly ofthe
business. But though that fact may
be funny, the business itself, getting
into dirty and sitting places, and
wriggling like a human worm into
every hole and corner to know its con
dition, is anything but fun. The
most scrupulous care is required in
these examinations, and as everything
is out of sight, the insurance company
have to depend wholly upon the trust
worthiness of their men. Hence
these get pay that makes amends for
all they have to undergo, sufficient, in
deed TO keep them from getting too
big for their business.-LewistoWn
