Berlin treaty. Wnlcn grVeS butBaF18 no
rights.
st. Petersburg advices state it is announced
that Russia will propose a congress for the
gene raj revision of the treaty of Berlin,
thus reversing her previous opposition to any
modification thereof. She will require from
Austria compensatory advantages for both
Turkey and Russia, and prefers to open the
entire question rather han permit Austria
to act alone.
Constantinople dispatches state that the
Cabinet was sitting at midnight. preparing
q protest to Bulgaria and the powers against
the violation OF the Berlin Treaty. Prince
Ferdinand telegraphed yesterday that he was
compelled to respect the nations voice,
and hoped for a continuance of peaceful
relations with Turkey. Turkey will. however,
refuse to recognize Bulgaria's independence.
Some propose to substitute a tariff war for
hostilities. but the people are belligerent.
The Grand Vizier summoned the German
Ambassador yesterdays and bitterly reproach-
ed Germany with melting Bulgaria and Au :
tria, but the Ambassador replied upon has
honour that Germany was not guilty.
Unconfrmed reports are current that shots
have already been exchanged across the from
tier. Bulgaris is eager for war. and it is
believed she is able to march to Constanti-
nople before ths Turkish army can be mo-
bilized.
Unofficial comment on the situation as
cribes it to something deeper than the fore
going. King Edward and the Kaiser are
thought to be the real protagonists, and an
obscure motive is suggested to be Germany's
desire to upset England's e~ntentes, thus multi
fying her own isolation. Thus far. however,
England's ententes have been rather strength
ened. Anxiety is felt regarding the pro-
posed Congress, which would give Germany
an opportunity of antagonizing conflicting
interests without helping Turkey.
A Hague despatch states that the Preml-

NEW WONDERS OF RAD1uM.

:. .a- q. tn. Conversion of Glas"
Into Gems.
One more miracle seems to have been
realized through radium, and Professor
Bordas has made n discovery which
beats the ~long-sought philosophers
stone, says the Paris correspondence OF
the London Telegraph. Minerals OF
small value have been turned into ru-
bies, emeralds, %sapphires and topaz. Nj.
de Lapparent the new Won
der in n communication to the Acad-
envy of Sciences.
Professor Bordas had been struck by
the fact that the glass Of tubes contain
ing radium invariably takes on a brlght
bluehue, apparently unalterable. Hecom-
menced experiments in a laboratory OF
the College of France to ascertain the
effect of radium on some of the hardest
stones o~btainable, choosing. corlndon,
which he bought from a jeweler at
about Is Cd or IS per carat, THESE
stones, OF various hues, he placed IN
contact with radium, leaving them for
a month. After that time he found
them to have changed color. White
corindon had become yellow, like topaz,
the blue stone of the same kind had be-
come as green as an emerald, and the
violet was now sapphire blue.
He was to make a yet more amaz-
ing discovery. He took the altered
stones to the merchant who had sold
them in their original state without
telling him what they were and asked
him to examine them. The jeweler I'M
hesitatingly pronounced them to be real

about FL los per carat. He has not yet
been told the secret of the discovery.
which is almost ar alarming one, espe-
cially for his trade. Professor Bordas
continues his experiments privately.
He bought a fresh set Of corindon
stones, two light red, two violet aud
two blue. He placed one Of each color
in contact with radium for a month, at
the end of which the light-red had be-
come ruby-red, the violet sapphire-biue
and the blue emerald green. He took
ali the stones back to the jeweler.
The light-red corindon unchanged
was priced as before at about Is Cd per
carat.
The light-red corindon which had be-
come ruby-red under the process was
tested and pronounced to be a ruby val
ued at from EGO to ESQ per carat. Pro
fessor Bordas' discovery seems un
doubted. If it be completely confirmed,
what will what we call now precious
stones be worth in future? All our
ideas of gems must be turned upside
down. The consequences of such a dis
covery, though We can imagine some of
them, are in the main incalculable.

{ THE YOUNG MAN RECOVERED
ccca>&>ccesSIe

If it be the case that the imagina-
ton has much to do in the healing of
the sick, as all physicians admit, it is
not unreasonable to hold the same
mental faculty responsible for many
illnesses. The author of Forty Years
in New Zealand was a missionary
among the Maoris half a century ago,
and had to care for the bodies as well
as for The souls Of his people. One Of
his medical cases was Of peculiar in
terest.
AS an example, says the missionary,
I may cite the case of an athletic young
man who was brought to me n day
by a venerable old chieftain. From
head to foot the young man was trem-
bling with excitement. He had come
for some medicine. The Cause Of his

sacrilege the offended god had entered
his stomach in the form of a lizard,
ana was consuming his yitals. Unless l
could deliver him, he must die. It
was equally vain to laugh, or to reason
with superstitious fear.
After making the orthodox examina-
ton of my patient, I gave him some
aperient pills, and told him to keep
quiet for a while and he would cover
The next day I was told that the young
man was still ill, and would die. Re
pairing to the village, I found him
pale, haggard but resigned, sitting at
one end of a Ions hut open in front.
From twenty to thirty chiefs were seat
ed near him, smoking their pipes and
discussing the current news. The old
women were preparing the ovens for
the entertainment of his friends, who
would flock to the place on the report
of his death. In three days he was to
die, and they were making preparations
for the event.
I expressed my regret and disappoint-
ment, and re-examined my patient. I
found out my mistake. I had given him
medicine internally. I would now ap-
ply it externally; and with an air Of

CHARM, NOT BEAUTY

This Day of Wi and Brains.
The burden of a popular French nov
elist's arguments is hat beauty in thu
old classical sense is of no account; II
has been replaced by elegance. A wom-
an would not be 1attered if you told
her she was very beautiful but dressed
badly. She would show you the door
if you praised her face, but criticised
her dress and hat. 1t would be an
objectionable sin. Indeed, according to
the novelist, a belle femme seems
nowadays to signify a rather massive
person, difficult to dress. Where are
the glorious beauties that awakened
the admiration and passion of otr fore
fathers? Where are the odern Hell
ems. the Nine. Recamiers, Nine. de Cas-
%tigliones, and Lady Hamiltons? Ordl-
nary observations tell us that beaute-
Gus creatures of this type still exist
among us, but without exciting our APP
