THE BALKAN TROUBLE
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA ASK PUN
 rsHMENT FOR MURDERS.
Is said Turks Acted Like Fiends Run. ming from House to House and Butchering as They
 Went.

Sofia, Aug. 0.-The Austrian and Rus sian consuls at Uskub have requested the vah to courtmartial the officers and sol- diers who fired on and killed several Bull garian workn,en who were repairing the railroad near Uskub. The vall declined and said he would refer the request to the inspector general of Macedonia.
 The Bulgarian agent at Salonica re- ports that arrivals from the centers of disturbance assert that not single Turk ish village has been burned The Greek Fatriareh asked the Bulgarian Exarch to address circular note to the Bulgarian ministers and school teachers in Mace- donia urging them to remain quiet and not light against the Sultan. The Exarch replied that he was sorry that he was not in position to serve the Sultan. As all the Bulgarian ministers and teachers had been cast into prison and the church. es and schools were closed, his voice could not be heard there.
 Fugitive families from Krushevo who have arrived at Monastir give terrible details of the situation which prevailed in Kushevo after it's capture by the Turks. The latter say they acted like fends. running from house to house and street to street, slaughtering everybody they met The town is now a heap of ruins.
 The Sofia Post prints a strong article urging the Bulgarians to prepare for war immediately. Bulgaria has no need to fear the great powers. says the paper. as it would not be in their interests to allow Roumania to interfere.
 A dispatch from Burgas to The Auton- omie says the town of Vasiliko, thirty miles south of Burgas. and the villages of Urunkoi and Poturnakoyo are in flames and the sound of cannon can plainly be heard from the Bulgarian frontier.

wARLIKE NEWS SPREADING.
Headquarters of Insurgents are Near
 Monastir.

Constantinople. tug. i9.-Wednesday. -The news of the impending arrival of the Russian squadron Is spreading. not withstanding the continued suppression of all teiegrams and announcements on the subject. The general opinion of the Europeans here Is that the time has ar rived for a vigorous intervention and the abandonment of all semi-measures which are regarded as the cause of the present rising.
 According to the Turkish official re- ports the strongest positions of the in- surgents are at Krushevo, Merihoro and Florina.
 Contrary to previous reports it is now stated officially that Krushevo is still occupied by the insurgents.
 The headquarters of the revoiutionists Is in the Peristeri mountain in the vicin- ity of Monastir. Women and children are not molested by the insurgents, who have destroyed only fortified dwellings occupied by rich Turks. It is not denied that they kill all Bulgarians and Creeks found acting as Turkish spies, but the strictest orders have been issued not to interfere with women or children.

ARE oMENs OF EVILS DAYS.
Comets Popularly Supposed to Pre-
 sage Some Fell Calamity.

sage Some Fell Calem1Iy'
 Washington Times.
 We sit on our front doorstep and watcn inc comet which is now favoring the earth with A friendly call. with no trepl- dation and with no thought that It Is the hamburger of i'll. Science, with It's teie- scopes which fathom the sky and with itS extensive theories, has assured the people that comets can do the earth no harm. But contrast this with the beliels or our forefathers In 1860 the conscientious as. tronomer Kepler assured the world that inc c0niunction of Saturn and Jupiter In inc constellation Leo was harUinger or danger. but that event which was attend- ed by a comet meant something serlousi he predicted i'll for the Roman Cathohc church. Fortunately for Kepler's reputa- ton as a prophet. there were cruel per secutions in 1880.
 The superstition which said Comets are the harbingers of war, pestilence and famine" voiced the sentiments ot the naat. Perhaps Shakespeare shared in the common superstition when he wrote: When beggars die there are no comets The heavens themselves blaze forth tho
 death of princes.
 About the time the Turks had gotten possession of Constantinopie and were threatening Europe Halley's comet ap- peared and was regarded with superstl tIous dread. All devout Christians added to their Ave Maria Lord, save us from the devil, the Turks and the comet.
 Vespasian, in A. D. 7e. seems to nave been threatened by a comet. but the witty monarch dispersed the fears of his people saving: Be not so set up; that hairy star does not portend evil for me; It men aces rather the king of the Parthians' Tor he is a hairy man and am bald.
 Julius Caesar had some experience Wlth comets Euperstitious Romans said the blazing star secn after his death was celestial chariot on which his soul was carried to heaven.
 still, our superstitious friends have some argument on their side. Attila was sum- moned when the comet of A. D. 45l ap- peared; Valentinian by the comet of A. D. 455; the comet of A. D. 6S2 announced the death of Mohamet; Louis the Debon- air was called by the comet of A. D. S3i, and Charlemagne went to his death while the tail of the comet of A. D. Sl4 still stretched It's fiery trail across the sky.
 The superstitious are entitled to their beliefs, but most modern thinkers prefer to trust to Tycho Brahe, who did much to dispel the mist of superstition in 155I by announcing that comets are celestial bodies. and Sir Isaac Newton, who later demonstrated that they are governed by the law of all matter.

HOW THE CAT D1oEsrs FOOD.
Tabby Can Give the Human Race
 Valuable Suggestions.

For some time past professor in Har- yard University has been studying the pfocess of digestion as revealed by the Roentgen ray sent through the stomachs are instructive.
 There are several cats employed in the experiments, but only one at time and nostly of the gentler sex, as the Thon- ases were obstinate patients, with irregu- lar digestive processes. The subject was kept hungry for ten hours and then so well fed that after a preliminary toilet it stretched out comfortably to sleep In that position 1t was strapped between the lens and the screen of the apparatus, so that the x-ray threw the shadow of its stomach on the luminous screen. A little bismuth was mixed with the bread and milk of the cats food to darken the shadow.
 The food lay at first in the upper and larger part of the pear-shaped stomach. Then a series of wave-liixe motions began from the center of the stomach and was continued with cloclxlike regularity, the shadows of the food passing from the res ervoir at the top to the passage into the intestines at the bottom, at ten second intervals.
 Two important facts were observed, and to these attention is particularly called. For regularity of the digestive process a condition of calm content was necessary. The moment pussy became provoked at anything the wave-like motions ceased and were only resumed when she regained placidity of temper. That is why Thom- as eats proved unsatisfactory subjects. They lost their tempers too often and the churn in the lower half of the stom- ach quit work. It was also found that when hard pellet had been waved on to the outlet of the stomach it was returned to be worked over again. this process con- tinuing until it had been so dissolved by the gastric juice that it scarcely cast a shadow.
 These therefore. are the two lessons of the cats stomach to man at table and after. Thoroughly masticate your. food, that the churning process may not be pro- longed beyond the proper time Refrain from anger or worry after meals until the food is completely digested

BAUPRE QUESTIONED.
American Minister Is Asked for Ca-
 nal Information.

Washington. Aug. 2o.-Minister Baupre at Bogota has been asked by the State Department to send more definite in formation concerning proceedings about the isthmian canal treaty but there is no way of telling how long the message will be delayed owing to the interrupted tele- graphic communication between Buena Ventura and Bogota. The fact that two messages of the same date reached the department with an interv-. of four days between them shows how irregular this mode of communication has become. The trouble seems to be with the land lines and it is understood that heavy tropical growth has interfered with the wires. The only dispatch received to-day from Minister Beaupre was dated the 12th and was very indefinite although 1t conveys the impression that further efforts are being made to secure favorable action upon the treaty.
 The Costa Rican minister called upon Acting Secretary Adee to-day. but it was stated that his visit was one of courtesy and had no reference to the isthmian canal.

A London paper tells an excellent story fin connection with the sentries In front of Buckingham Palace.

One morning a visitor from the States found 1t too much for him. Come, boys he said sOoth- ingly make 1t up. Whether the sent- ries responded to this touching appeal and flung themselves sobbing upon each others bosoms is not recorded.
