NEW WOMAN IN TURKEY.
Women There Ask Abolition of
Harem and the Veil.

From the Queen.
In the recent rejoicings at the procla-
nation of a constitution in Turkey many
Turkish women took part, and for the
first time in history appeared in public
without their wells.
They have appealed to the Young Turk
party to abolish the harem system, and
with 1t the compulsory yelling Of women.
The word harem is Arabic for anything
forbidden or not to be touched and as
against the rules of the Koran. Games
Of chance. witchcraft and portrait max

in practice the word is used by Euro
peans to designate that portion of a
polyeamist's house which is devoted to
the exclusive occupancy of is wives and
their attendants. Thence it comes to re-
fer to the female portion of his house

westerners to designate the system of
plurality of wives.
In Turkey the system has been main

referred.
Whether the sultans will follow the lead
Of their subjects in this matter is very
doubtful. The harem system is so inter

would take a strong man to break through

LIGHTNING STRIKES SHIPS.
Oftener Than Supposed-Conducto
for Electric Currents.

From the knowledge Magazine
In spite of the popular impression to
the contrary ships remote from the land
are seldom damaged by lightning al
though some of the most awe-inspiring
displays of atmospheric electricity are
frequently witnessed by those on board
of them
Standing rigging and even parts of the
running gear are now made of steel wire,
and this substitute for the old-fashoned
hemp serves the purpose of lightning con-
ductcr when the ship is not fitted with
such an aid to safety. The electric cur
rent is conveyed down the wire rigging
and reaches the sea through the vessel s
metal hull. Damage occurs only if the
current be interrupted on its way to
earth. In a comparatively large proper
ton of instances the foreroyal truck is
struck by lightning, that of the main less
frequently and the miZZei least of the
three.
Very serious casualties under this head
occurred to warships and merchant yes
sells in the days. of wooden hulls and
thirteen sail of the East India Company
were. trying 10 round the cape IN the vi
cinty of Algoa bay, homeward bound,
two of them, the Britannia and the Bonn
bay Castle, were struck by lightning.
The foremost of each was soon enveloped
in flames and the masts had to be cut
away in order to save the ships and their
comhustible cargoes. a heavy gale was
blowing. the night was dark. and the
other ships of the fleet which were hove
to at the time. were witnesses of this
thrilling incident
Many vessels are now fitted with light
ming conductors of approved types, lest
the wire rigging should fail to carry off
the electric current. In May, 1896 short
ly after a severe Thunderstorm accom-
panied by lightning and rain. in 3 de-
grees south. 81 degrees east, the p. and
o. Steamship Victoria had a sudden in
crease of deviation. amounting to de-
grees in both the standard and the wheel
house compasses, and later It was dis
covered that the lightning conductor on
the fore had fused. The ship must have
been struck by lightning during the
storm.

PELT OF BLACK FOX.
Only About Five Are Brought Down
Each Year.

Edmonton Cor. Toronto Globe.
In the estimation of trappers of the
Canadian Northland. as we'll as in the
eyes Of the nobility Of Russia. there is
only one king of beasts-the highly
feet pelts of this rare fur-bearer are
brought down from the Northland each
year. and in rare years as many as ten or
twelve, though each year thousands of
men make a living trapping and the
yearly catch of foxskins amounts to over
100 900 from Canada alone.
In no way except in color does the black
fox differ from the red fox. whose pelt
sells for about So. or from the gray fox,
whose winter coat is valued at from $50
to SICO: but whenever hunter can Sc
cure a black fox and remove its skin
without marring the fur he is sure of re-
ceiying from $500 to 81 800 for his tro-
phv. Not only is every black fox pelt
bought as soon as taken. but dozen
Russian noblemen have paid agents trav-
cling in North America all through the
winter seeking out remote hillside farms
and abandoned logging camps where it is
possible that shy and elusive black fox
may have been seen.
Within the last twenty years a number
of wealthy men who have owned fenced
game preserves have spent vast sums of
money in buying young foxes alive and
turning them loose within private inclos-
ures. BY and by it may be that some
skilled or fortunate breeder will produce
a black pup or perhaps a pair of black
foxes may be captured alive and from
these a new breed of black foxes will
arise and cause great panic among the
men who hunt for black foxes. He who
can wrest the secret Of breeding black
foxes from nature is assured of riches
past counting and can command the wor-
shipful homage of the Russian nobility
and aristocracy, who seem willing to sac
rifice untold wealth for the pleasure of
wearing overcoats made from the pelts Of
American black foxes.
