FRANCE IN TURKEY.

The dispatches concerning the French
invasion Of Turkish territory are now
OF a reassuring nature. II seems that
ali the powers consulted have approved
of the step taken, and that the Sultan
has signlfied his willingness to comply
with all the demands made.
This is the outcome that has been
hoped for sun. for years the theory
has been held that any forcible inter
ference with Turkish affairs would kim
die the war flame all over Europe, and
fears were naturally felt that this
theory would prove but too sound.
II the French enterprise this time
Is carried out to a finish without dis
turbing the peace of the world, a whole-

mats that have been silent spectators

ENERGY IN COAL.

What modern contrlyances have done,
by way OF increasing mans capacity
for work, is well shown in an article In
Casters Magazine, on the energy in the
worlds coal output. II is shown there
that the total quantity Of coal taken
from the mines Of the world In one
year may be estimated at 700 100000
tons. What that means as an addition
to the producing capacity of mankind
Is stated thus:
Assuming that the combustion of enc
pound of coal produces available energy
equal to the work Of one horse for one
hour, and that horsepower Is equal
10 the power Of seven men, II Is founa
that this represents an energy the
equivalent OF $500, 600, 100000 hours OF
work for one man, and allowing ten
hours to each day and three hundred
working days to the year, this liz found
10 be equal TO the work OF 5000 NIL
lions Of men during one year This is
about double the entire population OK
the globe, and II follows that the utill-
cation Of the energy OF combustion Is
equivalent 10 an increase Of the work
ing capacity OF this population
to the extent of an addition OF
two able-bodied men for every man,
woman, and child and practically 1t
amounts to much more than this, FOR
these additional 5000 million stalwart
laborers make no demands upon the
food products OF the world they need
no clothing, no matter what the zone OF
their employment, and In faithfulness,
loyalty, general dooility and ease OF
management they are beyond compare"
And yet, man has but commenced to
harness the forces OF nature for his
service. AS he progresses in this direc-
ton. the product Of labor will be still
more multiplied There are fair pros
poets Of arriving finally at the ideal con-
dition, in which the laborer shall have
as much time for rest and recreation
as he has for toll.

away by noise, but that seems to be
the fact. Such appears 10 be the Chi
nese idea OF running the uniyerse.
The Chinese imagination peoples the
earth and air With innnmcrable inyls-
ible beings, hostile TO man. The Gee
lestials' do not worship them, 1t is said
but they spend much time In trying TO
outwit and deceive them. Hence they
become adopts In deceit and feel 10
conjunction at preyerica,lng In order
to gain desired end, They believe, we
are told, that these evil beings cannot
turn a corner conveniently but always
move In a straight line. Hence, In
Chinese houses one wlncow Is never
placed opposite another. lest the spirits
should lind Il easy to pass through. No
one thinks OF building a house in line
with another, II Is always set a
little In advance, or little
10 the rear, 50 as TO break the straight
Inc. There is not straight road from
one village to another. but clrcultous
paths. The roads are, further. as bad
as possible, SO as not to induce the evil
spirits to travel on them. Dead bodies
are generally buried In lucky places
which may De found In the back yard,
or In the Geld, or anywhere. and all
the country is therefore dotted with
graves The tomos are sacred. because
the Chinese venerate their ancestors.
When these facts are considered, It
IS easily understood why the strangers
that tonne TO China are cordially hat
cd and despised. They build railroads
MS straight as arrows, from one city to
another, and care not II they desecrate
the graves that may be In their way.
Iy symmetry IN buildings and streets,
they break the charm OF lrregularity
and facilitate the work OF the evil
spirits. Foreign Improvements run
contrary to Chinese superstitions In
every direction, and when they are
forced upon the people, such outbreaks
as the Boxer rebellion are the result.
Even such men as Ii Hung Chang
have not always influence enough TO
keep the storm within proper limits.
what China first Of all needs Is popu-
lar education. Neither western religion
lor western trade can be forced upon
the masses, until they shall have been
taught the follles of superstition. The
school will eventually become the con-.
Meeting lln,: between that country and
the rest OF the world. But perhaps II
must needs pass under foreign domino
ton before the school can be estap-
lished. That really appears to be the
case.

THANKSGIVING.
Baltimore Sun.

The United States has abundant rea-
sons for thanksgiving in the material
prosperity Of the nation. Our indus
tries are prospering IN exceeding great
measure. The products Of American
industrial skill find a ready sale In
the markets Of the world. There are
few unemployed - the workngman
sharing to a notable degree in the pros
perlty Of the country. Drouth has de-
creased TO some extent the productive
ty OF the farms Of the West and South
west. but II Is probable that while the
farmers OF those states viii not have
as much to sell as In a good year
they will get better prices and thus
be compensated for the smaller har-
vests. Since last Thanksgiving day
the United States has made a new rec
ord in the export OF its agricultural
and manufactured products. Europe
is more dependent upon our farms and
factories than ever before. While a
state OF war exists in the Philippines,
peace prevails at home and our rela-
tons with other nations are OF a friend
ly character.
