TURKS RAID PERSIAN TOWN
Seventy'eight People Killed, In.
GLIDING Many Christians.

Tehcran, Persia, Aug. 5.-The IN.
eursions Of Turkish troops across the
northwest frontier OF Persia, which
for some time had been In allegiance,
have again broken out. A serious raid
has occurred near Urumiah, 5000
Turkish troops, with artillery. having
crossed the frontier and destroyed the
village of Mavaneh. Seventy-eight
persons, of whom sixty were women
and children, mostly Christians. were
killed. Subsequently the Turks drove
a small force Of Persian troops from q
nearby camp and instituted them,
selves in it. According to an unodl-
ciA report a large body of Persian
cavalry subsequently Joined the Turk
ish invaders and the combined force
IL said to, be threatening the town Of
Urumiah, twelve miles west Of Lake
Urumiah and sixty-four miles from
Tabriz. Urumiah, which has Z pop
ulation estimated between 10000 and
$4,000 persons, including many Chris
tians, Is noted as Z center Of mission
ary activity and Is the seat Of the
Fiske seminary for girls and Of Uru-
miah college. It is considered prob
able that Russia and Great Britain
will be appealed to and bring pressure
to bear upon Turkey with the view Of
stopping the raids.

MALE SEX IS DOOMED.
Death Rate Thirty Per Cent Greater
Than Women. ~

Chicago. Aug 5.-The strenuous life
Is killing the men Of Chicago at tre-
mendous rate, while the women Of the
city are increasing their longevity by
the simple life.
Y In the official health bulletin Just
ISSUED Health Commissioner Evans
declares that few centuries will see
Chicago an Adamless Eden. DR.. Ev.
ans draws his conclusions from the
death rate in Chicago for twenty
years and particularly in the last
seven months, when three members of
the stronger sex died for every two
of the fairer. DR.. Evans makes the
startling statement that during the
first seven months Of 1907 In Chicago
about $4,000 men succumbed, as com.
pared to 5000 women.
He says that in the last year the
ratio of difference in the death rate
between men and women has been 80,
o. against less than 10 per cent twenty
years ago.

49, Not From the Stone.
The true nature Of cameo is very
much misunderstood by the public gen
orally. Most people. think it is the stone
itself, when in reality the method of
cutting Is what produces the cameo.
The real meaning Of the word Is un-
known, it's derivation having never
been discovered; but correctly speak
Ing, canoes are small sculptures exc
cuted in low relief on some substance
precious either for its beauty, rarity or
hardness.
There are emerald canoes, turquoise
canoes, shell canoes, coral canoes.
Indeed. any substance that lends itself
to carving in such minute detail can
be used for cameo cutting, and nearly
all precious stones. except diamonds.
have been so used for intaglios, but
never for canoes. Emerald is the most
common precious stone from which
canoes have been made, and there are
some very fine emerald portrait cam

Queen Elizabeth in the British muse

the fifteenth century.
Banded onyx Is generally used for
cameo work because of it's hardness
and coloring, and it is this fact that has
caused the Misrepresentation, the stone
being used so much in making canoes
that it has now become better known

ANIMAL TRAITS.
Reminders In the Foal and the Calf Of
Their Wild Ancestors.


Reminders In the Foal and the Calf o.
Their Wild Ancestors.
It is an Interesting study to note in
domestic animals the traits of their
wild ancestors. There are some char.
acteristics, of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar to those
Of animals still In wild state, and
for this reason they give fair idea of
the life and surroundings Of progeni.
tors. The habits Of the dog and cat
are too familiar to comment on, but
take the foal and compare his traits
with those Of the calf.
The foal when few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can in after
life. He never leaves the dam and
takes ~nourishmcnt in small quantities,
avoiding a full meal, which would i'm.
pede swift escape. In lying down no
attempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animals
ancestors spent their lives in the open
and not in the forests and that they
were great Travellers.
The calf. on the contrary, 6lls him
self with milk and is a poor traveller.
When danger approaches his first i'm
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low in order to look under
the branches Of the forest. All hi*
characteristics point to the fact that
the ancestral home of cattle was in a
moist, wooded country, while the
primeval horse roamed the plains
