means to be taken to bring about this
result.
One suggestion is collective provi-
sional occupation of Constantinople by
the six powers with the consent OF
Turkey, under the assumption that
such action was necessary to protect
the subjects of the respective nations
and to maintain order.
The Bulgarian government appears
already to have indicated that 1t has
no intention Of trying to hold Constan-
tinople and that it would rather oc-
cupy the Turkish capital only until
peace had been arranged.
This, it is said. is not satisfactory to
the powers. 1t is pointed out that such
occupation might continue indefinitely
and certainly during the long discus
sion preceding a peace settlement and
would render permanent agreement
more difficult to reach by the European
conference.
1t is considered essential for the great
! international interests that Constanti-
nople, the Dardanelles and q narrow
zone in European Turkey be retained
by the Turks.

b. Servians Are Advancing.

Belgrade, Nov. 11.-Dibra, 45 miles
southwest Of Prisrend, in Albania, was
taken by the Servians Saturday after
severe fighting, according to private
advices. The remnants Of the Turkish
army had assembled there. The same
reports say that Monastir has surren-
dered. Major Popovich, in command
of the Servians, has captured Dajran,
with 1000 troops. A third Servian
army Is we'll on its way toward the
Adriatic, but progress Is slow on ac-
count of the bad roads. 1t Is expected
that Durazzo will be taken in a day or
two. Durazzo Is one Of the ports that
Servia has announced her intention OF
seizing and holding.
This determination to occupy one or
more Adriatic ports against the wishes
of Austria is absolutely earnest AL
political parties have announced their
readiness to support the government,
come what may. The politicians are
convinced that the powers, including
Germany, will be able to convince Aus
tria- Hungary that Servia, with an out
let on the Adriatic. will not be more
dangerous to her than without such an
outlet.
Servia desires peaceful economical
development. Political leaders say
there need be no fear that some other
power will become master of the port;
Servia sheds her blood for her own
interests, not for others.

improvements Made in
Manifolded Letters

A manifold letter has certain ear
marks by which 1t may be readily de-
tected by any one who is in the habit
OF receiving mail in quantities Such
letters get scant attention as a rule
and there has been a long demand for
some system of manifoIding by which
letter will be turned out with all the
characteristics OF a specially written
missive.
This has been done in a typewriter
said to have been invented by a Ger
man. In addition to this function. it is
possible to make corrections in the let
ter without the necessity of rewriting
it. After the first draft has been made
II is possible to duplicate this indefi-
nitely at a very rapid rate. each letter
being written separately and accurately
following the lilies OF the first draft.
As the impression is being made on
the first sheet another sheet is being
prepared, each character being repre-
seRted by a combination of perforatiOn
and this is a master sheet by which the
subsequent sheets are prepared auto
matiCally.

insect world. In the middle OF the nest
Is the palace of the king and queen. The
queen spends all her time In laying eggs.
AS the eggs are laid they are carried on
to the nurseries by the attendant work
ers. The nurseries for eggs and larvae
are built around the palace. There are
cells, too, for the royal bodyguard and
for the royal servants. Besides these
there are storerooms filled with such
supplies as gums and resins; with meal.

These ants are very destructive, de-

the result that when they enter the re-

have to either use steel or cover wooden

All metals are very effectively cleaned
for polishing by using a pasty solution
of tottenstone and spirits of turpentine.
This removes grease and is very effect

Dynamiting an Ice Jam

The Genesee River is the only stream
crossing the entire State of New York.
1t rises in Pennsylvania, flows directly
north and into Lake Ontario, from which
its waters are borne to the sea by the
st. Lawrence River.
In the spring this river, so modest In
summer. rouses apprehensions along
hundreds of miles Of its course, and no.
where more than in its passage through
the city OF Rochester.
Last spring the conditions seemed once
more peculiarly threatening, after so
hard winter, and 1t was deemed neces-
sary to open the channel by dynamiting
the long-stahding ice. The picture shows
two out of a half-dozen blasts.

They rise from twenty to sixty feet in

antelopes and even buffaloes may be seen
grazing upon them. Again, one often de-

OF the African ant, the best known
species is the white ant or termite. Then
we have the driver ant and also the red
ant, the tree ant and the lion ant.
Although the majority OF them are re-
Esrded as pests OF mon. they, neverthe-
less, fulfill a useful purpose in nature,
acting as sections and sanitary inspec-
tors, checking the spread of disease in
the animal and vegetable Kingdoms, and
adding enormously to the improvement
Of the soil.
In the matter Of nests the white or
false ants excel all the true species. and
IN fact all other insects. These nests
are built above, instead of below, the
ground, and attain such a size and rise
to such a height that they form

railways.
The Prussian state railways have for
some time given special attention to the
question OF adopting motor railway cars
on lines where there Is little traffic
After carrying out preliminary trials
with steam-driven motor coaches, twin
storage battery cars were used on a
large scale, while more recently gaso-
Iine-eiectric cars are being adopted.
The car body Is supported on two
two-axle boyle trucks which are pro-
vided with triple springs. In order to
prevent the vibrations set up by the
motor from being transmitted TO the
car and to insure a ready access to the
generating set for the purpose OF in
spection, both the combustion motor and
the shunt-wound dynamo employed for
generating the electric current. togeth-
er with its EXETER, are mounted on one
boyle truck.
The car body accommodates q total
OF ninety-five passengers in a third and
fourth class compartment, and has
in addition a drivers compartment at
each end. Besides the apparatus re-
quIred for the control and braking Of
the car these compartments contain four
and FIVE folding seats respectively, and
serve for carrying heavy luggage which
cannot be taken into the passengers
compartment.
A compressed-air brake and a hand
spindle brake are provided, both of
which can be operated from either
drivers compartment. The car Is heat
ed by water coming from the gasoline
engine, which, before passing to the
radiator mounted on the roof of the
coach. flows through coils in the drivers
and passengers compartments.
The gasoline engine is Of four-cylinder
type, and produces 10 horsepower when
running at a speed Of 100 revolutions
per minute. A compressor fitted direct
ly to the motor generates the compressed
air required for bFaking the car sud

Oldest Museum in World.
Otto Kummel. head of the East AsIatic
Department of the Berlin Museum of
Ethnology, tells Of the Oldest museum in
the world. in the bulletin OF the Societe
Franco-Japonaise. This museum may be
found in the city Of Nara, the former
capital OF Japan. Since its foundation,
in 75s, it went through all the changes
of the Japanese Empire without one
single addition to its collection. DR.. Otto
Rummel is one of the few Europeans
who were permitted to visit this museum.
1t opens its doors but once a year, on
q day in spring, when a special COM
mittee inspects the collection. and a new
list is made out The museum contains
about 5000 articles, which are said to
be the most beautiful specimens of deco

duced by human hand, such as lacquer
ware. decorative furniture, enamel ware.

Of the articles is uncertain; some came
from China and others from Corea, but
NEST of them appear to be Of a more
exotic origin. All, however, came of
a time prior to the year T56.
Railroad Dust as a Germ Carrier.
The interest taken Of late in the sub
ject of dust. especially along common
carriers, is such as to attract attention
in all quarters. Recently the Hon. Jud-
son c. Clements, of the United States
Interstate Commerce Commission has ex
pressed his opinion as to dust discharged
along railroads and similar public high
ways. It transmits disease germs of a
contagious character, he stated. and an
nounced his advocacy of a general law
for the regulation Of the matter in the
interest of the public health. Such a
law would doubtless bring forth i'm
provements in the means for controlling
the discharged dust and should be Of in
terest to inventors skilled In the SUBJ
feet.
Progress of Cremation in Europe.
There has been a marked increase in
Europe In the use of cremation as a
method OF disposing OF the dead. Last
year there were 1855 cremations in Ger
many as against $500 in 1910. At present
there are thirty crematories in Germany
and almost as many in Italy. In England
there were LOGS crematfons in 1911 as
against $40 In 1910 Recently Switzerland
has passed a law which practically
makes interment exceptional.
Artificial Cows MIX.
A recent press dispatch states that
three German chemists at Frankfort-on-
the-Main have discovered a method Of
making milk synthetically in the chemi-
cal laboratory. According to the dis
patch several scientists, including Sir
William Crookes, tasted and tested this
milk and pronounced 1t palatable. 1t is
to manufacture the milk in
London and sell 1t at s cents quart
The milk is made entirely from vegetable
digested in a mechanical
stomach" Be that as It may, We hope
that there Is some truth in the report.
for there could be no danger of tuber-
cElosis or any other disease germs in
the synthetic product.
