HOIST FLAG OF GREECE.
Island of Crete Declares Against Tur-
kish SuzeranitY.

Cane, Crete, July 29.-The Greek
flag has been run up at the fortress
and the Cretan militia barracks here.
As the evacuation of the international
troops was completed only Monday.
he Cretans lost no time in testing the
disposition of the powers who have
promised Turkey that they will protect
her rights. The outcome of this as
sertion of the Cretans demonstration
to join Greece is awaited with some
concern.
After more than 20 years of almost
Russia, France and Italy intervened
in Cretan affairs and in 1898 consti-
tuted the island, with adjacent islets
as an autonomous state under high
commissioner of the powers subject
to the suzeranity of Turkey, but pay
ing however no tributes to that coun-
| try. Since August of 1906, the right
of the King of Greece to propose the
| Commissioner who has been recogniz-
ed by the protecting powers, under
taken over the direction of the gend-
armerie. In Many, 1908, the powers
decided to withdraw gradually the
International troops from the island
and when this fact was announced,
Crete declared for union with Greece
and public feeling became intense.
Early this morning the diplomatic
representatives of the powers at Con-
stantinople presented a note to the
Porte in which it was said that the
time was inopportune for the Tur-
kish proposals relating to the future
of the island, but as the protecting
powers were to sustain a warship in
Suda Bay, the supreme rights of Tur-
key would not be affected by the with
drawal of the troops.

Poultry Toilets.

And the pet stock dealer laid beside

He bathed the hen In the tub. He

quite dry I'll rub brilliantine on one of
these brushes and polish her coat till
it shines like satin. I'll oil and polish
her feet too. Her face and wattles
I'll rub well with cold cream-that will

Electricity and Magnetism.

AS to what electricity and magnetism
are Sin themselves"-that is to say, as
to their real nature-nothing is known.
They are absolute mysteries, battling
the acutest research into their inner
most secrets. But about their modes
Of action it is possible to say some
thing definite. For example, electricity
appears to depend for its action upon
a medium, while magnetism, like grav-
ity, acts at q distance and by means Of
no visible go-between. Place two mag
nets in vacuo or even place a solid
plate of glass or metal or wood be-
tween the magnets and we still find
that their mutual action depends sole
ly on their relative position and is not
perceptibly modified by placing any
substance between them unless that
substance happens to be one Of the
magnetic metals.-New York American
