Ilundum, a fused form of alumina, now serves many of the purposes of platinum. l.. F.. Saunders reports that, besides the usual white crystalline sub stance, containing less than 1 per cent of iron oxide and other impurities, there is a red-brOwn alundum, which has or per cent of impurities. This variety has a melting point of about 2,050 degrees c, which is very much lower than that of the white. The purer kind has a specific gravity of 393 to 400, heat conductivity of three or four times that of fireclay, and it re- sists the action of aqueous acids and alkalies. Crucibles of alundum, though too porous for melting slags, may be used for melting metals with as high fusing point as platinum.

GREAT FISH STORY

The engineer who operates the gaso- line launch of the California Develop ment Company below the Imperial heading on the Colorado. was in Yuma
 Friday and left behind him one of the most lurid tales of the doings of the mighty Colorado that we have yet heard, says the Yuma Sun. He said that at a point two miles this side of Volcano lake the entire flow of the Colorado was pouring into an immense hole in the ground or mighty cavern That Volcano lake was entirely dry and that it was impossible to get closer than half mile of the place where the lake used to be on account of the de caying tons of fish which the rcceding waters had left in the bed of the lake. high and dry and rotting.
 The cavern into which the waters of the river are pouring is an enor- nous affair. Where the water is gO- ing no one seems to know. Some seem to think that it has found an un- derground channel to Salton sea and others think che outlet is in the Gulf of 
 An expedition has been fitted out, so it is said, at Calexico to investigate the matter. If the underground waters are finding their way into the Salton sink it means the great sink will ul- fill up and much of the great Imperial Valley will be under water.
 The story is certainly fishy and smells to heaven. It sounds more like it was started by Charlie Meadows or Joe Balsz than the honest navigator of l gasoline launch. However if the sto- ry is true We shall know the truth within a few days.

NAVY TO SHOW STRENGTH.
Mobilization or Fleets In the Atlantic
and Pacific.


Washington.-It is believed here
that great naval maneuvers and mobili'
zation to be held in the Atlantic and
Pacific next month are the result of
the strained situation in Europe and
the unrest apparent throughout the
world
The uncertainty OF the situation in
Europe with the vague possibility of
developments that might involve any
of the nations through some unexpect-
ed event is fully realized by the gov
ernment at Washington. While all
Europe is torn with war and rumors
of war, Uncle Sam has decided to
make quiet display of the fact that
he has not been idle.
Whether there is any more definite
reason for the notifications at New
York and Los Angeles OF the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets could not be learn
ed. but the impression is strong that
the plan was adopted merely for its
moral effect on the international situa-
tion.
Secretary Meyer is still uncertain as
to the exact plan of mobilization. 1t
will take place early in November, and
with the President reviewing the
ships at New York the occasion is ex-
pected to be made so notable that 1t
will be a matter of news throughout
the world.

PHILOSOPHY AND PLAsTERs.
McConnellsburg, Pa.

For the most part mankind has
learned TO accept the varied happen
ings of life in a philosophical spirit.
But there always will be people who.
forgetting the inspired adage which
recites that sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof, continually look
ahead for trouble. The other day a
big snake in the Bronx ZOO was found
10 be suffering from bronchitis. The
ordinary remedies were given and In
addition the reptiles throat was wrap
ped with adhesive plaster for a dis
tance OF six feet-the unusual space
being covered, perhaps because 1t is
difficult TO tell where a snakes throat
ends and the rest Of him begins And
now an uneasy correspondent writes
70 his daily paper and asks how the
hoctor and the attendants propose to
remove the plaster. It is possible, that
this inquirlng person has had trouble
NTH plasters and knows how unpleas-
ant It is suddenly to separate the
stickers from the human skin But,
why worry about the snake? Why
look for trouble even before the plas-
ter begins to draw? When the prop
or time comes and the usefulness Of
the big munler is ended, II is possible
the cobra will slough the plasters as
he might his skin.

Rome Official circles, while realiz'
Ing the anxiety Of foreign countries
TO see the Turco-Italian coDhicr ended
and the possibility OF complications
avoided. wish to warn public opinion
abroad that while the Italian feet has
taken possession Of Tripoli and eyre
naisa. the occupation cannot be con-
sidered an accomplished fact in the
sense that 1t renders possible that IN
tervention by the powers which Italy
in due time will welcome, but which
at the present moment would be mop

Before anything Of the kind occurs
the Italian troops must land and in
reality occupy not only the coast, but
also the interior Of the province in
order to make sure that any remain
ing resistance of Turkey shall be
overcome.
1t is charged that Turkey is not
obeying the international rules of war
fare Italy has released all the Turk
ish steamers which were seized In
Italian harbors until war was declar-
ed or arriving soon afterward, the
commanders not having learned OF the
beginning of hostilties. Turkey, on
the contrary, has hoisted the ottoman
flag over the Italian steamers Ernesto,
Ilardi and Meloria, which were seiz-
cd along the coast, and remaining
them with Turkish sailors, is using
them for its own purposes. II Is about
TO do the same with smaller Italian
craft captured in the Aegean Sea.
Italy will protest on the ground that
this action is in violation of the con
vention signed at the close of the
Crimean War.
The Italians have occupied Derna
and the coast of Bombah Gulf. Thus
Is revealed the plan of the Italian cam
paign in Northern Africa. The object
was to insure above all else the occu-
patton of Cyrenica, which is the rich
est part of the invaded country. Ac-
cordingly great naval display was
made before Tripol to deceive the
Turks while Rear Admiral Aubrey,
commander-in-chief of the feet, feign-
ing a pursuit of the Turkish feet,
landed force from the battleship
Vittorla Emmanuel II. at Tobruk, oc-
cupying Bombah Gulf and the town
of Derna, 500 miles east of Tripoli

PLAY FOR ITALIAN GUKNERS
BomSarded Tr poll and pEmoiishea
For.s--No Sh ats Hit
the Ships.

Rome.-Admiral Faravelli has sent
a message to the government, stating
that the bombardment Of the main
batteries at Tripoli commenced at .
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
continued until sunset
Admiral Aubrey reports that IN
bombarding Tripoli he spared all the
consuates, hospitals, churches, mon
asteries and converts, aiming only az
the Notifications. Discrimination was
made with relative ease, as the range
of the Turkish cannon was so short
that the ships were enabled to ap'
proach the city closely and so take
, accurate aim.
The bombardment was protracted
because of this extreme care to avoid
useless bloodshed and to respect the
homes of non-combatants and the
MOSQUES. Moreover, the firing was at
long intervals, as Admiral Aubrey and
Vice Admiral Faravelli expected at
any moment to see the white flag run
IN indicating a desire to surrender.
Scarcely any of the population re-
mains in Tripoli, the city having been
abandoned Immediately when the
bombardment began.
In cautioning the fleet commanders
to limit their action to silencing the
batteries and compelling the Turkish
garrison to surrender or evacuate, the
Ministry of Marine told the officers to
remember that the provinces were
about to pass under Italian control,
and the more damage done the greater
would be the expense of repair later.
A message from Admiral Thaon dl
| Revel says that the action appeared
more like a shooting competition than
a bombardment. Officers and sailors
placed wagers on the results. In one
4 instance an order was given 10 dis
mantle a particular battery. One gun
ner was heard to say: 81 bet ! can
knock down the left turret at the first
shot" When the smoke had cleared
away the turret had disappeared. The
same man shot again, Nov right tur'
ret" In a fash the second mark was
in ruins.

COL. ROOSEVELT
AVOWS CANAL GRAB
Gave the People Benefit OF
Doubt.
DEFENSE OF HIS ACTION
Scores Critics Who Say He Acted Be-
yond Constitutional Powers
"Timld President Can
Find Excuses"

New York.-Theodor Roosevelt has
an article on How the United states
Acquired the Right to Dig the Panama
Canal" in the last issue OF the Out
look. Mr.. Roosevelt discusses state
ments which have been made from
time to time that he acted in an uli-
constitutional manner and usurped
authority in connection with the Fan
ANA project, and he upholds the
regularity of the proceedings through
out.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that his mes
sages to Congress set forth in full ana
in detail every essential fact connect
ed with the various phases OF the ac-
quisition of the Panama Canal lie
adds
Not one important fact was omit
ted. and no fact of any Importance
bearing upon the actions or neSotla
tions of the representatives or the
United States not there set forth
has been. or ever will be, discovered,
simply because there is none to dis-
cover"
Referring to the opposition to the
project then and since, Mr.. Roosevelt
says:
"Of course there was at the time
and has been since, much repetltloh
of statements that ! acted in an 'un'
constitutional manner, that ! 'usurped
authority which was not mine. These
were the statements that were made
again and again in reference to al
most all ! did as President that was
most beneficial and most important TO
the people of this country.
Acted Within Powers.
THE simple fact was that when the
interest of the American people I'M
peratively demanded that a certain
/ act should be done, and had the pow
or to do It, ! did it, unless 1t was
specifically prohibited by law.
'In my judgment, history had taught
the lesson that the President has very
great powers if he chooses to eXer
else those powers; but that, II he Is
timid or selfish man, afraid OF re
sponsibility and afraid of risks, he
can, of course, manufacture ingenious
excuses for failure to exercise them.
Opposed BY Spectators.
Concerning the purchase OF the
canal rights from the French Com
pany, Mr.. Roosevelt says;
every step taken by the Govern
ment in connection with its negotia
tions with the French Company anC
the payment to its official representa-
tives in accordance with the agree
ment entered into was taken with th'
utmost care, and every detail has beel
made public. Doubtless in Paris, ant
perhaps to lesser extent in New
York, there were spectators wh'
bought and sold in the stock marke
with a view to the varying condition
apparent from time to time in tn
course of the negotiations, and wit
view to the probable outcome OF tn
negotiations"
