Russian Baltic Fleet Fires on British
Fishing Fleet off the Coast OF
England. Britain de-
mauds Redress.

mduuS NcuTcSSs
On the night of October 81, the
Russian Baltic Squadron passing
through the North sea on its way
to the far East, came upon fleet
of fishing vessels and without
cause, 80 far as is known at pres
emit, fired upon them, not once,
but 300 times. One vessel was
sunk and several men were killed.
Indignation was caused in Eng
land, but the British government
regards the affair as q mistake
and has sent Russia a formal but
very urgent demand for instant
explanation and redress. Russia
on hearing of the affair was hor-
ror stricken and seems to regard
it all as the unhappy continue
ton of that blind fate which is
apparently leading her to defeat
and national dishonor.
1t is very unfortunate for Rus
STA, for while there is small chance
of it provoking war between
England and Russia, it illustrates
the absolute incompetency of
Russian fighters. These unfortu.
nate things have been happening
since the war began. Even the
beginning itself showed Russia S
unpreparedness
Should this accident provoke
war between these two countries
it will be unfortunate for the
whole world, for France would
Immediately rush to Russia g
rescue and the possible. great
world war would be u reality.
America would doubtless be
drawn into it not because America
has any business in getting into
any such mix-up, but the irrepres-
sible Teddy would doubtless get
strenuous once more and the
people of this country would
suffer.

capitals that an amicable settle

THE ANGORA GOAT

The raising OF Angora goats Is now
well established industry in this
country, II being estimated that there
are fully 100000 In the states. The
question IL frequently asked why the
common goat 10 not more In evidence In
view OF the fact that we Import each
year some 500, 100000 In goat and kid
skins for the use of our tanners. This
seems large sum to send abroad each
year In the purchase Of product
which could be produced at home, 30
far as conditions are concerned. and
looking at these figures alone some
farm papers are inclined to criticise the
American farmer as neglecting IN OPP
portunity OF profit.

The greater number Of persons who
are engaged in the Angora goat In
dustry at this time, and the number
of such will continue to increase, have
a much better quality Of goats than
those that find their way to the market
In considerable numbers. They have
animals that will yield fleece worth
from 81 to $l.50, and their value as
destroyers OF brush wood and weeds
and as fertilizers Of the land must be
added; besides, the does raise kids that

duce better fleece than the bucks.

portation comes from the Hobson studs
and that so good Judge Of Angoras as
Mr.. Hoerle was privileged with their
selection and purchase. The safe ar

best Angora blood in the world and at

is soaked in a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids until it becomes nitro
cellulose. After thorough washing, to
free it from the acids. this ~cellulose is
dried, mixed with a certain quantity
of camphor, and coloring matter if re-

sheets by hydraulic pressure and after
ward broken up by toothed rollers and
soaked for some hours I'm alcohol. A.
