If Turkey fights anybody her navy wont stand any more show than Spain's did. Turkey has battleship and two cruisers, which could be converted into fairly effective vessels. The rest of the Sultan's fighting fleet is made up of wrecks and antiquated hulks which have been tied up at dock yards for the past five or ten years, waiting for re- pairs that are never made. The one ser viceable battleship is the Messudiah, a craft of 5000 tons, that had speed at one time of sixteen knots. She is now at Genoa, where she was sent two

There are some butterfly farms in France, where the object is to breed rare specimens of the silkworm family. Several new varieties have been obtain ed by crossing, and an effort is being made to aeclimatize species that belong to other countries. The farms have oak, ailanthus, pine and plum trees, and castor-oil plants, on the leaves of which the caterpillars feed. Cocoons are matched on branches protected by gauge, and. for the sake of uniform temperature, the insects are often kept in room until after the first moulting, when they are placed on bushes in the open air and protected from birds by coverings of tulle.

In 1900 the French architect Philippe Meriat was commissioned by the Per- sian government to build pavilion for the Shah on the Exposition grounds. He did so, but has never been able to get franc in payment. The French courts have been unable to help him, and as a last resort he has now appealed for aid to the Peace Tribunal at The Hague. The result of this action, which was advised by the architects, attor- neys, is awaited in Paris with great cu- riosity on account of it's novelty.

A Prophecy Fulfilled.

Over fifteen years ago the Legislature
was overrun by persons who demanded
tax exemptions. The veterans had new
exemption bills to present and the ex-
empt firemen and National Guardsmen
were asking for concessions in the shape
of reduced tax bills.
John w. Griggs, who was then the
Senator from Passaic county, and Will
liam ID. Edwards, who represented
Hudson in the State Senate, objected
to these bills, and maintained that they
violated the principle of equal taxation.
They criticised the tax exemption bills
so vigorously that John J. Gardner,
who was at that time Senator from AT
lantic, moved that all the bills be refer
ed to Griggs and Edwards, with in
structions to evolve some satisfactory
tax exemption bill that even the Sen
ators from Passaic and Hudson could
support.
Edwards and Griggs put their heads
together, and the result of their DELHI
erations was the tax eXemtion act of
1888. When their bill came up on final
passage, the two Senators provoked
general merriment by voting against
their own production, and the bill passed
by a vote of 10 to 2.
GrigQs and Edwards shook their
heads and remarked that the tax ex-
emption principle, as far as individuals
are concerned, would be knocked in the
head by the courts some day, and in
that way an end would be put to this
tax discrimination business.
Yesterday afternoon Griggs and Ed
wards happened to be in the State
House in Trenton when the Supreme
Court, among other decisions, handed
down, quite unexpectedly, a decision in
a Morris county case which seems to
vindicate the judgment uttered by the
two Senators in 1888. The Supreme
Court declares that tax exemptions
heretofore granted to wal veterans and
their widows, National Guardsmen and
firemen are unconstitutional. The de-
cision was rendered in the case of Tip
petit against the Borough of Rockaway,
involving an exemption o 1880 claimed
by a fireman.
Griggs and Edwards could not help
recalling their prophecy of long ago.
