THREATENS THE TURK.
Warships to Enforce the Demands Of
Austria With Shotted Guns.
WILL lombard MERsINA.
Sultan Given Until Noon to Grant satis-
faction = General Opinion That He
VIII Not tYield-Ambassador to
Quit Constantinople.

VIENNA, Nov. 1.-THE Turkish gov
ernment, not having yielded to the de-
mands of the government Of Austria
for redress on account of the indignities
offered to an Austrian merchant of
Mersina, Herr Brazzafelli, the Aus
trian ambassador at Constantinople,
Baron de Calice, will leave the Turkish
capital, and an Austrian warship will
lombard the port of Mersina (Asia
Minor) tomorrow if the demands Of
Austria are not complied with by noon.
Austria demands that the Turkish
government order salute Of the Aus
trian flag, that the vail in which dis
trict Mersina is situated be dismissed
from his post, and that the mutosariff,
or local governor of Mersina, be re-
moved. 1t was announced on Tuesday
that the porte had agreed to the de-
mands of Austria, but this turned out
to be premature, and the sultan, buoyed
up by the easy victory of the Turkish
troops over those of Greece during the
recent war, will not, it is believed, yield
until the last moment. BraZzafelli,
who was the agent at Mersina Of the
Austria Lloyd Steamship company,
was expelled from Mersina last month
because he was suspected by the Turk.
ish authorities of having intrigued
against the government of the sultan.
He appealed to the Austrian govern
ment, the latter made representations
on the subject to the porte, and eventu'
ally Brazzafelli was allowed to return
to Mersina. But when the Austrian
merchant attempted to land the loca
minor officials, with the knowledge OF
the vail of Adana and the mutosariff OF
Mersina, it is claimed, allowed Brazza
fell to be so grossly maltreated that hi
was compelled to appeal to the Austrian
consul for protection. The latte
promptly interfered in behalf of hi

cofnpau1ot, ana was n1mseIT repeatedly
insulted. This action upon the part of
the authorities and others of Mersina
was soon brought to the attention of
the Austrian government and caused
the latter to insist upon redress, notably
the dismissal Of the two Turkish Off
cials who were shown to be the most
responsible for the ihdignities heaped
upon the Austrian consul and the mer-
chant, Brazzafelli, and salute to the
Austrian flag by Turkish fort or war
ship.
In reply to the strong note of the
Austrian government, demanding an
explanation of the outrages, it devel-
oped that Brazzafelli incurred the sus-
picions Of the Turkish authorities by
befrlending fugitive Armenians and by
giving the most deserving cheap
passage from Mersina on board the ves-
sells of the Austrian Lloyd Steamship
company.
The newspapers of Vienna today dis
cuss the incident at length and express
the hope that the Turkish government,
recognizing it's mistake, will give Aus
tria the satisfaction she insists upon.
Austria, in addition to the demands
mentioned, will insist upon the porte
furnishing her with definite assurances
respecting other matters, notably the
complaints made by the officials of the
Austrian company operating the Ori'
entail railroads, which have frequently
been brought to the attention of the
Turkish government.
In this connection, it is announced
here this morning that, in addition tt
dispatching the cruiser Franz JOSEPH
and the coast defense ship Wien ant
other vessels of the Austrian squadron
in Cretan waters to Mersina, with in
structions to obtain satisfaction for the
conduct complained of upon the part O
tho Turkish officials, the Austrian ship
will at noon tomorrow, unless the porte
has granted the demands of Austria BY
that time, stop all traffic on the Orien
tai railroads, and, it is semioficially an
nounced, have recourse to other i'm
portant political reprisals.

Teeth and Chewlng Gun.

A noted New England dentist is
authority for the remarkable state
ment that the people who have the
soundest, best preserved teeth are
those who are inveterate chewers of
gum. Another eminent dentist says
that the texture of the teeth is i'm
proved and strengthened by con-
slant chewing, just as the muscles
of the arms are hardened and devel-
oped by constant exercise. He also
says the finest set of teeth he ever
saw were in the mouth of man
over so years old who had chewed
gum incessantly from early child
hood. There are theories and the

COMPASSES GO CRAZY.

A Point Where the Magnetic Needle
Cannot Ee Relied On.
A most phenomenal island is that of
Bornhohn, in the Baltic, belonging to
the kingdom of Denmark. 1t is famous
for it's geological peculiarities, consist
ing as it does almost entirely Of mag.
netite, and its magnetic influence ia 10,
only very we'll known to the nnvigutcrs
of those waters, but also much TcarcA
by them, on account of it's inluclc,'
on the magnetic needles, which makes
the steering of q ship correctly mat
ter OF much difficulty. In fact, says the
New York Sun, this influence is fell
even at distance of miles, and 80 ra;.
pably that, on the island being sightc
by mariners ON the Baltic, they at onr,,
discontinue steering their course by the
needle, and turn instead, to the WEI
known lighthouses and other holds to
direct their craft. Between Bornhobn
and the mainland there is Also bank OF
rock under water, which is very dan
gcrous to navigation, and because of it
being constantly submerged, vessels
have been frequently wrecked at that
point. The peculiar fact in this case
Is that the magnetic influence of this
ore bank is 80 powerful that mag
netic needle suspended freely in boat
over the bank will point down, and, IL
not disturbed, will remain in perfect
ly perpendicular line.

He Is Assisting to Clear the ST. Johns
River OF Hyacinth Blockade.
Prof. 81. j. Weber, expert appointed
by the agricultural department last
year to investigate the pest of the water
hyacinths, which are fast blockading
our rivers, has faith in the destructive
ness of the red spider which has been
ravaging the leaves of the plant. To
examine more closely the work of this
insect, says the Florida Times-Union,
he gathered plants in Lake Monroe and
placed them in ponds in his own yard
The spider, he says, is not quite SO large
as the head of pin, and is a new spe-
cies, according to Prof. L. o. Howard,
chief of the chronological division of
the department of agriculture, to whom
were sent specimens. The little fellow
multiplies with exceeding great rapid
ity, weaves his web from leaf to leaf,
raises his numerous family and attacks
the leaves, devouring them almost COM
pletely.
Don't understand me to saw" said
Prof. Weber, "that the red spider will
destroy the hyacinths completely. His
work will be beneficial, and if reen-
forced by other diseases of the plant
will no doubt open the rivers complete
ly. 1t is highly important, in my opin-
ion, for the government to send an ex-
pert in South, American rivers to i'm
port all of the enemies of the hyacinth.
This, think, will be the most effective
way In which to destroy the pest"

Food That Makes Brn,n.

According to a celebrated health ex-
pert blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food, and the
man who wishes to keep his brain power
up would do we'll to include them in his
daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits give
more or less the higher nerve or brain,
and are eaten by all men whose living
depends on their clear-headedness. Ap-
pies supply the brain with rest. Prunes
afford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by thpse who suffer from the
liver. But it has been proved that fruits
do not have the same effect upon every
body. Some men have never been able
ito eat apples without suffering the
agony of indigestion; to others, straw
berries are like poison.
