Despite Rumors, There A1e u

TURKISH GOVERNMENT PROMISES IoPlY

Warship-Tarkey Rebuked by OuF
Minister DeinE Alloyvsd to Rsznain.
In sUnited States. 35 ss5

Washing ton, Oct. 18.---1nqniry at the
state department. discloses the fact
that there have been no recent deyel-
opments in the matter Of the claim
of the United States against Turkey
for indemnifcation on account of mis-
sionary property destroyed at Har-
zpoot and elsewhere several years ago.
The claim has been presented several
times to the Turkish government, the
most recent presentation being made
by Mr.. Griscom. our charge d'affaires
at Lonstantinople. In each case the
Turkish government, instead Of re-
pudiating the claim, has promised q
settlement; and this is the, state OF
the case at present. Some months ago
Rear Admiral Ahmed, of the Turkish
navy, came over here to purchase q
ship, with the unofacially understood
purpose of compromising with the
claimants under cover of the pur-
chase. He carried home number OF
plans from American shipbuilders, but
he did not buy q vessel SO far as is
known here. Meanwhile with view
to impressing upon the Turkish gov
ernment its dissatisfaction with it's
dilatoriness the state department has
allowed Mr.. Strauss, our minister "a
Turkey, to remain in the United
States. There the matter rests fol-
the present. There have been no de-
velopments and none is expected in
the very near future. .-,r

An InimitabIe Feat.

The sailors of three men-of war,
American, French and British, while
in the same harbor, We're competing
with each other for the best display of
seamanship. \ Yankee went to the
top of the manmast and stood there
with an arm extended. a Frenchman
then went aloft and extended both
arms.
An freshman ON board the British
ship thought if he could stand there
with IL leg and an arm extended he
would be declared the most daring
sailor. Nimbly he mounted to the high.
est point and attempted to do so, but
at the last moment lost his balance and
fell through the rigging toward the
deck.
The various ropes against which he
came in contact broke his fall, and
when near the deck he succeeded in
grasping rope. TO this he hung for
a couple Of seconds and then dropped
lightly on the deck, landing safely on
his feet.

Legend Of the Violin.

An ancient legend tells us that one
day as Orpheus. son of Apollo and the
muse Calliopc, was walking by the sea,
trilling in soft cadence a song taught
him by the celebrated teacher Limos,
he was attracted by the sound Of sweet
music, which seemed but the echo of
his own glorious voice. He walked
along, singing and the sound ap-
preached, as If to meet him, till finally
it sang at his very feet.
CHANGING down, he saw the shell Of
turtle, which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the recedng waves. The little thing
had died and dried up so that only the
snews, shriveled to strings, and the
shell remained. The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol-
low shell, and the wind. as It listed,
touched the strings, causing them to
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet, sad tones.
Enchanted, he bore his treasure home
and from it fashioned the vol shell,
with which he ever after accompanied
his voice, and the nymph Eurydice, en-
chanted by its magic, became his bride.

To those astronomically inclined. the
Celestial Globe will prove the chief at

200 feet above the ground. The in
terror of this immense globe is deco
rated with ASTRONOMICAL and mytho-
logical figures, which, being illumi-
mated at night from the interior, will be
visible from all parts of the exposition
grounds. Inside this globe electric ele-
yators and broad staircases conduct
visitors to a second sphere Q10 feet IN

comets will all be visible, while in the

In the light of modern scientific and
inventive progress there seems to be
little improbable in the Poles prom
ises. especially as other Investigations
have made considerable achievements
in the same direction. The description
OF the apparatus and the principles in
volved is quite technical. In the tele-
phone there is Il diaphragm that trans
fers the vibrations of sound to he cleo
trio wires. In the telectroscope there
are mirrors vibrating several thousand
times second. These break the rays
OF light into myriad flashes. which are
transferred t. the electric wires as
separate impulses through the medium
OF IA soleninm disk. The electric i'm
pulses vibrate mirrors at the receiving
end, and the picture is reconstructed
for the eye with tolcrable distinct
ness. At the sending end the view is
concentrated by an ordinary photo
graphic lens and projected upon the
sending apparatus. At the receiving
end the view is thrown upon II ground
glass screen. All who use a camera
will recall how beautifully he colors

glass screens of their instruments. IT
is claimed for the new instrument that.
owing to The varying intensity of the
impulses produced by different rays of

this is not all, for the instrument will
be mounted in a theater large enough
to seat hundreds of people, and screens
reflected from the telescope will be

this theater he modest sum of one dol

TO a person who has the money, the
time and the inclination to visit all
the various shows illustrative of travel
ii fair idea of all parts of the world may
be gathered. 1t would seem from the
number of these features that it was
the most popular form of bidding for
the public's gold that had struck the
inventive Frenchman. The civilized
and the uncivilized portions of the
world are presented in panoramic view
on an elaborate scale.
One of these features that is unique,
at least so far as the building goes, is
designated as the "Great Round
World" and is the conception of NJ.
Louis Dumoulin, the official painter of
the French naval ministry. and who
has himself girdled the earth and re-
sided at various times in China, Egypt,
Japan and other countries.
The building for this is one of the
unique attractions of the exposition
1t is situated on the Eiffel tower. and
measures about 27000 square feet. The
facades form study by themselves for
they combine all the oriental architcc-
turc and house ornamentton. The
four are specimens of Arabian, Japan
csc. Portuguese and Indian styles. The
walls are covered with carved wood,
majolica and porcelain, which has
been sent from the extreme east. There
is hardly an inch of the outside walls
that is not covered with some fantas-
tic piece of ornaincntation. 1t forms
II great object of curiosity to those
who have not gone around the world,

around it and did it specifically.

CIDE SHOWS will be as great Il fea-
y ture of the Paris exposition as the
fair itself. In fact much of the eX-
position will be made up of Il wonder
iul system of elaborate and expensive
side shows. Unlike the Midway at
Chicago in '93 these side shows will
constitute expensive sightseeing fol
the fair visitors. While at Chicago 80
cents was about the limit of charges
for these extra attractions in Paris five
dollars will not be unusual. From this
it is an easy matter to judge of the
amount of money that it will take to
go the rounds and return home with
the satisfaction of having done the
whole show"
But while the concession features
will be expensive for the sightseeing
visitor there is one thing for which we
must give the French people credit, and
that is their ability to produce shows
for which such prices may be charged
successfully. The ingenuity that has
been called into service by the demand
for novelties that would attract has
been unprecedented in the history of
great eXpositions. The matter of a few
hundred thousand dollars or so has
been u minor consideration so long as
the money invested would produce a
novelty that the visiting public would
appreciate.
Take, for instance, the great tele-
scope with which it is claimed the
moon may be brought to within so
miles of us. The cost Of this wonder
