Success In Settling the Mace.
donian Question.

London. Aug. l0.-Mr. Balfour acknowl-
edged in the commons today the III sue
cess OF Europe in the Macedonian aues-
ton since the signing the treaty OF Ber-
lin. but he thought the critics OF Euro
pean diplomacy should not forget the ex-
traordnary complicated difficulties Of the
task. There were grave grievances aris-
ing from a deep set disease. He d0plored
the non-success of their efforts To deal
with the situation, but he was still hope
full that the plan recently designed by
Russia and Austria would prove the best
way OF dealing with the problem.
IL was therefore the duty OF the rest OF
efforts were directed in no ambitious
spirit TO amelioration OF the lot OF the
population OF Macedonia.
1t must sorrowfully be admitted. con-
tinued the premier that the revolutionary
bands themselves were one OF the chief
obstacles TO the success of Europe's ef-
forts. The lurid picture drawn OF the
condition OF Macedonia by his interro-
gator. Mr.. Bryce, was not painted In
colors any too dark. Between the out
RACES deliberately planned by the revolu-
tionists and the license OF the Turkish
troops the historical truth requested him
to say that the balance of criminality lay
rather with the revolutionists than with
the Turks.
Mr. Balfour said everything will be done
TO impress the Porte wit hthe necessity
OF keeping its troops we'll in hand and
every assistance would be given TO the
Porte in carrying out that object. He
believed that the Porte was keenly alive
to the political necessity OF impressing
the excesses committed by the Turkish
troops II not 60 the humanitarian neces-
sity OF this however. uneasy task In
the face of deliberate attempts 10 pro-
woke excesses in order TO compel the over
Intervention OF Europe.
Unfortunately Europe had not the
same opportunity OF bringing pressure
to bear on the rebel bands. The lat
ters deliberate and avowed object was
TO make the condition OF Macedonia so
impossible that at whatever cost TO the
peace OF the world there must be some
intervention on the part OF Russia or
Austria or both
The British government concluded Mr..
Balfour did not desire TO see such a
policy succeed. Their policy was 10 n'd

x.RAYS FOR MOSQUITOES.


New York, Aug. ia physician thinks
he has solved the mosquito problem. He
has complete X-ray machine in his
laboratory and has been using It in his
practice for a month or more and ex-
perimenting with 1t at night. The other
morning a housemaid showed the doctor
a dust pan half filled with dead mos
quitoes and other insects which she had
swept from the polished floor of the
laboratory.
II set him thinking, and on the fol-
lowing day he turned up the electric
lights and looked around after the X-ray
machine had been in use for 10 or 20
on the table supporting the coil and 2s
upon the floor in a space OF a dozen
square feet. There were more in the air.
and after placing a bed sheet under the
X-ray bulb, he opened the windows and
the door OF the room and watched, with
no other illumination than the greenish
light OF the bulb
He saw a few mosquitoes hover around
the lamp and pass through the path OF
the direct and active rays repeatedly,
and he concluded that his observations
were or no real value. But after per-
mitting the lamp TO burn for ten minutes
he turned on the electric lights and
counted nine dead mosquitoes on the
sheet under the lampstand. The same re-
suits were found on the following day.
Since then the doctor has had no op-
portunity 10 continue his experiments.
but he says that II there IN another
invasion OF the pests this year he will
take the X-ray lamp outdoors and sat
! isfy himself that IL can be used prac:i-
| cally for the determination OF the in
sects. He placed number OF the dead

were In any way injured externally

not believe for moment that Il would

| but he does think that the pale groer

tion for the insects and almost non,

Ions OF the fluid apparently had dropped
into the body of the launch
A lighted lantern at the stern of the
boat was in close proximity 10 the tank
and probably caused the explosion.
