DR.. L. v. Redmau, of the Univer' ity
of Kansas, who is nov engaged in ie-
search on the chemical treatment OF
wood, makes, in an article on varnish
in the Scientific American, an asser-
ton that is of Importance to every
housekeeper. He says that cracks,
hairlines, scratches and other defects
in the vanished surface Of fine furni-
ture and pianos may be made worse
by using such cheap liquid furniture

pIRIeInLE AGAIN IN FAvoR.

BERLIN, March 16.-The dirigible
balloon, after long era of mishaps
and catastrophes, seems finally TO
have come into it's own in Germany
and the recent successful achieve
ments of the Parseval, Siemens-Shuc-
kerr and Zeppelin balloons are caus-
ing the military authorities to look
with far less apprehension on the
French superiority in aeroplanes.
With aeroplane fatalities coming in at
the rate of three or four a week, nine
months have passed without single
mishap to a German dirigible and the
enserprising airship promoters are
beginning again to speak with con-
hdence of the possibilities Of CONNER
cial aerial navigation.

LARGEST MOTOR VESSEL
MAKES SUCCESSFUL TIL

COPENHAGEN, March 16.-Ship-
ping circles throughout Europe are
watching with the keenest interest
the dolngs of the worlds largest mo-
tor vessel, the Selandia, built in Co
penhagen. The ship has completed
her trials in the North sea success
fully.

tors, instead of steam engines, will
entail a saving of $4,000 a year, in
addition to a material saving in space.
Her dimensions are: Displacement,
10000 tons; carrying capacity, 74O0
tons. She has two propellers each
worked by a four-stroke Diesel motor
with eight pistons and of 1850 horse
power. She also carries two smaller
auxiliary motors. Her winches and
steering apparatus are worked by
electricity.

FRENCH WRITERS TO COMPETE
WITH AMERICAN DIME NOVELS

PARIS, March 16.-The authorities
are seriously alarmed at a wave of
juvenile crime, which they attribute
to the free sale of translations of the
most sensational types of American
and English 'blood-curdlers."
The Partisan gamin has taken a
great, fancy to Nick Carter, and
thoughtful people are connecting this
study of highly colored fiction with

teen have been perpetrating for the

Parisians claim to have hit upon an
effective way of counteracting this

adults as well. for they are booming

few students OF Turkey can Justify the
subsequent actions OF the Young
Turks. or the high-minded men who
were prominent in the early days OF
the new regime and who gave the tone
to revolution many are now to be
found in the opposition. The hearts
which bleed most sensitively for Tur-
key today are not those of the po-
liticians who have been in Office dur
ing the last three and a half years.
With the beginning OF the new regime
the Chauvinistic elements of the
Young Turks became dominant and

CONsTANTINoPLB, March 16.-
Turkey is face to face with another
election, on the result OF which Will
hang much that is important, not
merely to the we'll being OF the Otto
man Empire, but also to the mainten-
ance OF peace in Southeastern Europe. !
1t will mark another step in the check
cred career OF Turkey in quest of re-
preventative government
On February IA, 1878, after Ave
months of actual sessions, Abdul Ha-
mid dissolved the first Ottoman Par
lament. On January 18th of the pre-
sent year, Mehmet the Fifth dissolved
the second Parliament The circum-
stances are not parallel, however,
though in 1878 the country was like
wise at war. The first dissolution
was sine die, and it took thirty years
of Abdul-Hamidian despotism before
Parliament was resassembled. The
present edict of dissolution orders that
within the space of three months new
elections shall take place and the
Chamber once more be convened.
, The Grand Vizier is intrusted with
the execution of this edict, and it is
safe to say that neither the aged Said
Pasha, for the ninth time Grand Vizier
nor any of his possible successors will
have the hardihood to postpone the
, date of the new Parliament The de
lay would be the spark to the powder

Fair Election Sought.
. Whether or not the new elections
will be Unanswered as would happen
\ in many a more constitutional" land
or whether they will be carried Out
with impartiality, remains to be seen
The Senate, however, in giving its
necessary consent for the dissolution
Expressed concern that a fair election
should follow. 1t is said, moreover
that the annual Union and Progress
convention in Salonica last October
s voted that, in the event of dissolu
: ton of Parliament, new elections
should be held without the least in
justice" Surely an election as re

The contest today lies between tn
