Walking Round the Weird.

OF late years quite a number Of
men have started to walk round the
world, mainly with the object of win.
ming a wager. M. Georges Grandin.
however, French gentleman, who.
having twice made tour of the world
on foot, is now about to begin a
third journey, is actuated by quite
different motive. He is man OF
property and means, and the sole
object Of his self-imposed and ardu.
Gus task is the patriotic one OF pro.
noting the friendship OF France
among the various countries he visits.
Not only does NJ Grandin not bet
or live on charity during his journeys
but he makes considerable profits by
selling on the way books and pamph.
lets recounting the interesting impress
sions of his tours, and out Of these
profits he has already given con-
siderable sum to hospital in his
own commune.
One Of his experiences was Of a
particularly thrilling character While
passing through Abyssinia he was
taken for an Italian spy, manacled
and imprisoned for a month. During
this time he was terrorized by his
guards, but succeeded by a bride In
getting them to remove his chains.
It was only after a march of three
hundred miles through a desert, dur
ing which his guards threatened to
shoot him If he tried to escape, that
M. Grandtn came across one Of Meme,
lexis officials, to whom he was able
to explain his position, after which
he was treated with every considera.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the
least cost depend largely upon thu
material chosen. Paint is a simple
compound and the Ingredients can be
easily tested. The solid part or pig.
ment should be White Lead. The
liquid part should be Linseed OIL.
Those best Informed on painting al
ways buy these ingredients separate
ly, and have their painter mix them
fresh for each Job. Before the mix
ing the test is made.
Place pea-sized bit Of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II it Is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright,
pure metallic lead will appear, and
with patience the White Lead can be
completely reduced to one globule of
metallic lead. This is because pure
White Lead is made from metallic
lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
they Will not change wholly to lead,
but leave a residue. 1t Is clear that
some adulterant is present.
IL you SHouiu nave your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free
to any one about to have painting
done, so that the White Lead may be
tested. With 1t will be sent hand
somely printed booklet having as its

noted as the guaranty of pure White

UNITED STATES is NEUTRAL
BUT WATCHES DEVELOPMENTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.--Though
with no vital interest at stake, admin
istration officials are watching closely
the daily developments in the Balkan
situation.
Not being signatory to the Berlin
treaty, the United States has no direct
interest In the present eastern situa-
ton.
The United States, as party to the
Algeciras conference, acquiesced in the
settlement of mooted questions affect
ing Morocco, but In doing so expressly
stipulated that 1t had no political in
terests in that part of the world.
How the government would view an
invitation to engage in a conference to
pass on the Balkan question is prob
lematical The safeguarding of Amer
lean missionary interests and affording
protection to naturalized Americans
would fall to the duty of the United
States, and our missionary interests
always have been the source of more
or less concern even In time of peace,
and would require great vigilance in
the event of war.
Pending the outcome of negotiations,
however, the attitude of Washington
will remain one of observation merely,
as the diplomatic authorities share the
confidence expressed in London that a
peaceful solution of the Balkans I'M
broglio will be found.

AUsTRiA-HUNGARY REFUSES
TO BEND KNEE TO RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 10.-The ut
most efforts of Russian diplomacy
have been directed tho entire week
toward an endeavor to secure some
modification of the recalcitrant attl-
tude of Austro-Hungt ry with regard
10 the scope OF the deliberations of
the powers of the Bnlkans situation,
but these eforts have been fruitless.
M: Tcharykoff, acting foreign min
lister, has spent several hours daily
in consultation with Count Bercht-
hold. the Austrian ambassador, but
apparently to no purpose.
Austria, although Its first announce
ment was that as s great power 1t
could not permit other nations to ques-
tion its actit n in arnexing Bosnia, is
willing to discuss tie questions OF
compensation to the blg powers, the
limitation of the desires of the Balkan
states and the cancellation of obnox-
lous clauses In the Berlin treaty, but
Is obdurate on the all-important point
OF Its responsibility to the signatories
OF that treaty A bellinose note Is be-
ginning TO be sounded from Vienna.
1t was learned today from a well in
formed source that Austria would not
shrink from war rather than yield to
joint call for an international congress,
issued by Great Britain, France, Rus
sla and Italy. According to this au-
thority Austria and Germany have
seized this opportunity to test the
strength of the frequently discussed
"hemming in policy" They believe
that the time is favorable to shatter
the narrowing circle of alliances and
understandings.
1t is possible that Austria may make
an issue of the formal refusal of the
powers to admit the annexation of
Bosnia as an accomplished fact.
Count Berchtold has been placed in
an embarrassing position, for It is nearly
week since he demanded an audience
with Emperor Nicholas to which he was
entitled as the personal representative
of Emperor Francis Joseph. This audi
ence has been put off, however. for
various reasons, and 1t is understood
here that the emperor will not receive
the Austrian ambassador until after the
return Of Iswolsky from the London
conference.
