AN INTERESTING PAINTING
WHICH PUZZLES PEOPLE

An interesting painting is on view at
the store of Kann & Sons, Eighth and
Market Space northwest
The picture is life size. and shows
two distinct views on the same canvas.
Just how this effect is produced is a
secret with the artist. By the aid of
electric lights placed at convenient
space above the frame. the two pictures
are alternately brought out.
Under certain light conditions. the
canvas shows a woman completely
gowned for the opera or ball
BY shifting the lights another COM
plete view Is shown differing widely
from the first, and presenting a dark
canvas background.
The artist who painted the double pic
ture is said to be Frenchman who
has recently received the highest deco
ration 1t is possible for an artist to be
awarded in France.

FURTHER ATTACKS ON
CHAMBERLAIN PLAN
Campbell Bannerman Sees Danger
in Preferential Tariff.

LONDON, June Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, in a speech at Perth
yesterday, attacked Mr.. Chamberlain
preferential tariff proposals. He com
pared the government to a cuttlefish
which, when pursued by an enemy. emits
an inky fluid to confuse and blind Its
pursuers, under cover of which it seeks
to escape.
The government, he said, was faced by
numerous dilemmas, which were mostly
of its own creation. 1t sought relief
from an intolerable position by wan
tonly raising a fiscal question, in the
discussion of which it hoped its own
faults and failures would be hidden.
The proposals involved the raising Of
the cost of the necessaries of life of the
people in order that the colonial pro-
Queer might have larger profits, and the
landowner larger rents.
1t was said that 80 per cent of the
people of Great Britain lacked suf-
ficiency of daily food. and. allowing for
comparative populations, the scheme
meant that for every man in the coll
onies who benefited from the scheme one
head would be showed under water in
Great Britain. On the heels of tariffs
came the trust, and the end of all would
be national Generalization.
Let the government heed cried the
speaker, lest in its recklessness 1t sets
the empire in blaze that will reduce
its prosperity to ashes

PLAGUE GERMS My BE
SET LOOSE IN TURKEY
Macedonians Threaten This as a
Last Resort.

LONDON, June ga dispatch to the
Daily News" from Sofia reiterates the
story published a few days ago that the
Macedonian revolutionary leaders
threaten to use Indian plague bacilIi to
cause an outbreak of that disease IL
their demands are not conceded.
The inception OF this plan is ascribed
to Boris Sarafoff, the notorious Mace
dcnian leader. The correspondent says
that the threat will certainly be carried
out within few days after the insur-
gent chiefs issue a final warning.
1t is alleged that supply of bubonic
bacilli sufficient to spread DEATH and
panic In Constantinople, Salonica, and
many other places has been in readiness
for long time.
In the dirt of Constantinople and Sa-
lonica the plague germs. once set free,
would multiply by millions The Sultan
would take flight, and his palaces, built
with the blood and tears of Bulgarian
laborers, would be deserted. The plague
would demoralize the Turkish army and
dispense it. AS for the Macedonians,
they may save themselves as their ia
theirs always did when plague visited
the land. They will take refuge in the
mountains.

WOMAN HYPNOIZ[D
FOR AN OPERATION
Limb Cut Off Without Pain While
She Chatted.

LONDON, June 6.-The Daily Ex-
first instance in England of hypnotic
suggestion taking the place of an
anesthetic In serious surgical opera
ton.
A woman desired to be hypnotized for
the operation. Dr. Aldrich of Chaplain
q suburb of London, hypnotized her .ex-
perimentally ON several successive days
the hypnotic trance lasting about half
an hour on each occasion.
All the tests applied proved satisfac-
tory, and on Wednesday Dr. Aldrich
operated upon her, in the presence of
two other surgeons and a nurse. While
the operation was in progress the pa
tient chatted with the nurse and drank
vine. To an ordinary observer she
would have appeared to have been con-
scious the whole time
Nevertheless, the operation was pain
less. and she was unaware of what was
passing.
While operating DR.. Aldrich said: 81
am cutting off your leg below the knee. .
The patient laughed and said. "All
right; hold my hand" One OF the sur
geons took hold of her hand. and when
the nerves were severed the patient
griIped the doctors hand hard.
The operation was completed at 5:10
0 clock. The patient was awakened at
SIS, whereupon she said: II have pins
and needles" There were no symptoms
OF shock Her pulse and temperature
are normal. her spirits are high. and

Major or Captain So and So, of the
Bulgarian army
Feeling Intense.
peppery protest to Bulgaria inva-
riably follows, and it is difficult for
the Bulgarians to convince Turkey that
these officers have not been expressly
sent into Macedonia by Bulgaria. The
truth is that about a year ago these Of
ficers all resigned their commissions,
and as they are natives of Macedonia,
the Bulgarian government has no con-
troll over them. AS a matter of fact,
Bulgarian soldiers are guarding the from
tier, and doing it much better than the
Turks are, but this is not preventing in
tensely excited feelings on both sides
of the line.
1t is only prudence which prevents
Bulgaria from forcing a war. She has
a gallant army OF $4,000 men, which
could be increased to $50. but with a
population of less than 1000, 900 to draw
upon, Bulgaria would stand, little chance
against Turkey. withits 80. 00G. 900 popu-
latioI and a trained army of 500, 900
men. Man for man, the Bulgarians are
Drawer and more Intelligent than the
Turks. but numbers have to be counted.

If he once gives a signal that Russia

tieff, however, tells them to wait. Rus
sla, matter of fact. is too busy in
war just at this time.
Therefore, having no help from Rus
| STA and being unwilling TO commit sui
c:oe by declaring war without Russian
help. the Bulgarians have hit upon a
lew scheme. 1t is to approach the Sui
tar IN friendly way. pointing out how
very critical the situation is, and tell
| hiI,. the best way out of 1t is to secure
Bulgarian friendship and gratitude by
granting autonomy TO Macedonia.
Appeal to Sultan.
The reforms put forward by Russia
end Austria having failed. the Sultan

| to give Macedonia her own government.
The sublime porte does not relish the

autonomy is likely in most cases to lead

region revolts against the impossible
