Few Produced by the American Hos
Are Suitable for the Purpose.
To very limited extent the bristies
from the American hog are utilized In
the manufacture of brushes, yet most
of this product of the swine is insult
able and must so to other uses. Be
cause American pork is superior, Amer
lean bristles are inferior. Improving
the quality of pork diminishes the quail
ity of good bristles and slaughtering
the hog while young prevents long,
heavy bristles from being produced In
this country. The quality of the do
mestic Lristles is not so well adapted
for general purposes as those from Rus
sia and China, and this accounts for the
fact that every year a million pounds
and upward of foreign bristles are Inn
ported, worth that many dollars.
The bristles obtained from American
hogs are used only in cheap, poo-
brushes. The great bristle market OF
the world is st. Petersburg, and Russia
is the largest bristle-producing coun'
try. Leipsic is second in Importance
as bristle market, although many o.
the bristles sold there are actually pre-
duced in Russia, and are made ready for
sale in Germany. From Russia and Ger
many the brush manufacturer obtaina
all of his supply of long, heavy brtstie7
in the different colors-white, brOnSs,
gray and black. France produces In
quantity next to Germany, but only
white and yellow colors, and those kinds
only in short and medium lengtha,
nearly all of which are classed as soft
stock, being fine fiber. Within few
years China and India have marketed
considerable quantities of black bris-
ties. which formerly were known only
in an incidental observation-disclosures.

Hadji Chulri Bey, notable of Uskub,
who himself took the leadership of that
warlike-looIing band. To each volun-
teer, in addition to his equipment,
Hadji Bey presented two pounds in
Turkish money. Further, he supplied
them literally with provisions.
Another Albanian notable, Hadji
Cherif Aga, placed himself at the head
of 800 volunteers, whom he likewise
equipped and supplied with funds and
provisions. Specimens of such like cur
rents of electric patriotism abound. II
not in one particular way it is in an
other. Tradespeople of the richer
classes ask no money for the time be-
ing of the government and supply to
the utmost of their power all war req

ties of canvas for tents, another 1000
worth of biscuits, and so on. ITO the

considers it his sacred duty to give

Horrible Death of a Small Boy at San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Bertram
Hill, the six-year-old son of Chauncey
Hill, an architect, was the victim of
sensational balloon accident yesterday.
In company with Miss Olney, daughter
of his guardian, he went to Blair's
park, near Oakland, to witness hot
air balloon ascension by Charles Con-
Ian, of the Acme Athletic club. When
the balloon shot up into the air the
child clung to one of the guy ropes,
and was carried aloft. The aeronaut
heard the shouts of the people not to
cut loose his parachute, and obeyed,
not knowing the reason. When 1000
or more feet in the air he heard the
boys cries, and saw a cap come flutter-
ing down. He called on his unseen
companion to hold on, and made every
effort to save him, but in vain, for
soon the child's body shot by him and
was crushed out of shape when it
struck the earth.

The report of Prof. Darcy Thomp-

in 1896 to inquire in behalf of the Brit
ish foreign office whether the present
restrictions of the Behring sea fishing
are sufficient for the protection and
well-being of sea life" has been issued
as parliamentary paper. Prof.
Thompson believes that the alarming
statement in recent years giving ac
counts of immense decrease of the herds
and prophesying their approaching eX-
tinction are overdrawn, but there is
still abundant need of care and prudent
measures of conservation. 1t Is easy
TO believe that the margin of safety is
narrow, if not already to some extent
overstepped.
Eve may hope for the perpetuation
of the present numbers" says Prof.
Thompson, but cannot count upon an

recognition of mutual interests and re-

TURKISH PATRIOTISM.
Where the Money tn Equip the Army
Comes From.


People are asking whence comes the
enormous amount of money necessary
to support the large army Turkey has
now equipped and which she maintains
in manner which arouses the enthu-
siasm of all military writer's. Let me
quote the words of AIidhat Effendi. the
well-known Turkish patriot and au-
thor, who explained to me few
months ago that Turkey was always in
a position to make war. He said:
I'm time of war every true Turk will
deprive himself Of all luxury of food.
He will eat neither butter nor any
rich food. So long as the war lasts
we Turks fast, so that our soldiers may
eat, in order that they may fight. For
that purpose we deprive ourselves of
all but the absolute nccessaries, in order
that we may give whatever money we
might otherwise spend to the army"
Thus it is that enormous sums are
poured into the Turkish war chest by
private individuals. That is why the
Turkish soldier always finds himself
possessed of cash wherewith to buy
necessaries.
Rnt there are Turks also who have

FIGHTING RESUMED.
Turkish Troops Capture Kalabaka After n

ATHENS, July THE Turkish troops,
after n sharp fight with the inhahit-
ants, have occupied the village of
Kalabala, in North Thessaly. Kala-
balla, although within the territory
occupied by the Turkish troops, was
under Greek administration. The at
tack was made last Thursday by a
body of Turks and Albanians, 1000
strong. The inhabitants fought des-
perately, killing many of the Turks,
but We're finally overpowered. Most
of them fled to the mountains. The
others have probably been massacred
or taken prisoners. The Turks, after
pillaging the town, destroyed it.
