HEAVY BLOWS
DEALT TURKS
Put to Flight al Every Point
on Bulgarian Frontier
ADRIANOPLE is UNDER SIEGE

European Turkey Will Be Scene of
Conflict Which Is Expected to Be
Decisive-Ferdinand Directing His
Army In Person
London, Oct. 22.-Sweeping VIC
tories over the Turks are being won
all along the line by the Bulgarians. A
Sofia telegram states that the Turks
have been put to fight at every point
OIL the frontier where the Bulgarians
attacked, abandoning arms and am
munition and provisions. The entire
Bulgarian army is on the move, driv-
ing back the Turkish forces.
Sofia, Oct. %. bulgarian troops
captured the western forts guarding
Adrianople late yesterday by bayo-
net attack, according to a dispatch
received from army headquarters.
Vienna, Oct. 22.-Adrianople, the
biggest and most important city in
European Turkey, has been placed
under siege by the Bulgarian army.
In three columns the Bulgarian
army moved upon Adrianople from
the north, driving back the Turks
from the outer works.
The battle of Adrianople, which is
expected to be one of the deciding
conflicts of the Balkan war, is looked
for within a few days. Dispatches
from the front indicated that the
Turks would not passively submit to
being besieged, but would move out
and give battle to the Bulgarian army
before it was reinforced.
Heavy fighting has been going on
north of Adrianople for more than
thirty-six hours. Fighting with great
bravery, the Bulgarians carried three
hills before the city. The hills COM
mand important points. One of these
villages, Malkotch, was set on fire
by the Turks before they retreated.
The Turks also spiked most of their
cannon.
At some points, however, the ad-
vance Of Car Ferdinand's army was |
so rapid that ammunition and pro- |
visions could not be destroyed and |
these were captured by the Bulgari-
ans.
Gear Ferdinand is directing the OPP
erations of his army in person. He
has moved his headquarters farther
to the front and will personally di-
rect the seige.
The way to Adrianople was opened
when the Bulgarians captured Mus
tapha Pasha, a small town to the
northwest Of Adrianople, which was
the key to the bigger city.
It is estimated that there are
about rs, 900 men in the Bulgarian
army before Adrianople. There are
less than 200, 900 Turks in the city
and in the positions still held by the
Turks outside the citadel.

was a chief known as deadly enemy
of the whites and who bore the express

peculiar manner of tying up his scanty
hair.
years afterward Chief Shavehead
was in company with band of hunt

party was a white man who had for

the campfires the chief, being of a
boastful disposition, related while I'M
der the influence of liquor to those
sitting about the campfire the fright
full tale concerning the events of that
day, dwelling upon its horrors and
boasting of his own deeds.
'He was not aware that one Of the
whites whom he had so fiercely as
sailed was at that moment listening
to his braggart Htterances. The old
soldier as he heard the tale was mad

Toward nightfall the old savage de-

PROPOSALS IN JAPAN.
Quaint Custom of Placing Plant In

Quaint Custom of Placing a Plant In
an Empty Flowerpot.
In some of the japanese islands, I'm
houses wherein reside one or more
daughters of a marriageable age, an
empty f1owerpot of an ornamental
character is encircled by a ring and
suspended from the window or We
randa by three light chains.
The Juliets of Japan are, Of course,
as attractive to the Romeos as those
of other lands. But instead of sere-
nades by moonlight and other delicate
ways of making an impression ii Is
etiquette for the japanese lover to APP
proach the dwelling of his lady bear
ing some choice plant in his hand,
which he boldly proceeds to plant in
the empty vase.
This takes place at time when he is
fully assured that both mother and
daughter are at home, neither Of whom,
Of course, is at all conscious that the
young man is taking such a liberty
with the fiowerpot outside their win
dow. This act of placing a pretty
plant in the empty flowerpot is equiva-
lent to formal proposal to the young
lady who dwells within.
The youthful gardener having set
tied his plant to his mind, retires, and
the lady is free to act as she pleases.
II he is the right man she takes every
care Of the gift. waters it and tends It
carefully with her own hands, that all
the world may see the donor is &C.
cepted as a sutton. But II he is not
favorite or II stern parents object the
poor plant is torn from the vase and
the next morning lies limp and with
cred on the veranda or on the path

such caverns in the vicinity, each sepa-
rate and distinct are situated near the
town of Southport, Tasmania, in a
limestone bluff, about four miles from
Ida bay. The appearance of the main
cavern is that of an underground river,
the entire floor Of the subterranean
passage being covered with water
about foot and half in depth. These
wonderful Tasmanian caves are sim

their roofs and sides literally shine
with the light emitted by the millions
of glowworms which inhabit them.

Oil Engines on Railways.
From the Pittsburgh Dispat tch.

The movement for substituting oil as o
motive power in place of coal is growing
rapidly, il the claims made by DR.. Dresel
of Munich are verified This scientist has
been working in conjunction with German
engineers to perfect an ol-consuming en-
gine working by internal combustion for
railroad locomotives The actual expert
ence with this class of power in ocean
going vessels goes far to establish its
success. DR.. Dresel declares his firm
belief that whether the first tests are
successful or not 1t is certain to him
or later.
To us the question that is more doubt
full than the practicability Of adapting
to railroad use the type that has proved
practicable on the ocean is the effect that
it will have on the demand and supply
of the fuel used. At present the supply
of fuel oil is ample. though hardly ex-
cessive. But if to its present uses are
added the demand for the ocean vessels
of the world, and on that the demand for
probable that the aggregate of all would
far outrun the supply. The inevitable
consequence would be that before OIL
burning engines were universally adopted
the price Of the fuel would advance SO as
to take away its economy over coal.
or course the tendency Of this would
be to establish a compromise use. II the
oil engines make the success that is an
ticipated for them the probable outcome
will be that they will be available for use
at such distances from coal supplies or
water power as to make oil the cheaper
fuel, when all the advantages of the vari-
Gus powers are weighed. At present the
tendency in this country is to substitute
electricity for coal. But one thing Is
certain. Whatever on full practical use
proves the most economical fuel will be
used in the places where it is most
economical

Will Study Bottom of Sea.
From the Baltimore American.


One of the shipbuilding plants along the
Delaware river, nearly opposite Philadel-
phia, will soon launch a sixty-foot-long
oceangoing craft which will be a novelty
among ships, in that II will have a crystal
clear plate glass bottom. The vessel is
to be used for a scientific investigation of
the ocean depths. 1t would not, OF course.
be possible to gaze very far into the deep
waters, no matter how transparently clear
the ships bottom might be. unless pene-
trating light were projected into the
depths. The vessel will be equipped with
specially constructed submarine radio
lights, so that in waters many fathcms
deep the bottom. with the miscellaneous
life that crawls upon it and floats above
it, NAV be brought into view.
The portion of the earth's surface that
is covered by water, when the lakes and
inland seas are included. is three times
as great as the dry land area. The sur
face area of the ocean is 12I.oO0.ow
square miles-an area more than forty
times as large as the United States. The
ocean waters TEEN with life. Though
of water creatures are known
and classified. scientists are continually
discovering new life forms in the ocean
depths. Heretofore dragnets have been
mainly depended upon, but there are
doubtless many sea animals that elude
these travis.
The ship with the plate glass bottom
and the deep water searchlights is eX-
pected to bring about a more exact knowl-
edge of the undersea world. Many
wrecks, some that have been lying on
the sea bottom for a hundred years, will
be examined by means of incandescent
bulbs weighted down from the plate glass
bottom Of the research boat.
