London. Oct 2S.-An interesting
ouestion at the present moment is the
whereabouts of the Turkish army, OF

by the Bulgarian cavalry apparently
without resistance shows that NaZint
Pasha's army is not where II was sup
posed To have been upon the line pc
tween Kufeli Burgas and Lule Bur
gas Ii may be farther west in the
direction of DemoIica, but it is gem
orally supposed the it has retired
from the line Of the railway and en-
trenched itself on the long line from
Demolica to Tchorlu.
Constantinople dispatches continue
to speak Of the readiness of the TURK
isb army to take the offensive. IN
any case a few days must see some
thing decisive.
The victorious Bulgarian army Is
stilI advancing. 1t has occupied Bun
darhissar and is marching toward
Kuleh Burgas. II is reported that the
Rulgarians have blown up brlage
over the Tchorlu river showing that
that the turning movement is making
rapid progress. ~
Unless the Turks are able to take
the offensive vigorously, the present
Indication is that they will be driven
out of Europe altogether, failing IN

present stage to end the war as hap
nened in the Russian campaigns

Indianapolis Ind. Oct. 2S.-John
Golden, president of the United Tex

the dynamite conspiracy trial, to-
day. that he had correspondent with
the Iron Workers Union headquarters
in indianapolis about an explosion.
He said in April, 1905 he had writ
ten to Frank NJ Ryan, president of
the international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers enclos-
ing clipping headed Dynamite Elk

Enclosed please find newspaper
clipping. which viii. be self-expiana-

The clipping referred to an explo-
sion, on April &c, 1908. al Fall River,
Mass, when two spans of the SHADES

We're blown up. The work was being
done for Bristol county by a contrac-
tor against whom the iron workers
had called a strike. 1t was one of the
jobs which Ortfe f. McManigal con-
fessed to having travelled from In
dianapolis TO blow up on instructions
from J. ]. Mcnamara.
Mr.. Golden also identified copy
of a reply sent to him by Ryan. In the
reply Ryan referred to an editorial
in the Union Magazine commenting on
the finding of dynamite on a job in
Cleveland which n non-union workman
said he placed in order that he might
discover" the explosive and be pro-
NOTED.
Mr.. Ryan's reply to Golden was the

had, but once he was required to take
stenographic notes of magazine guns
which he turned over to Mcnamara.

LAMPS FOR MINERS

miners Old NAKED" Light VIII Be
Superseded by Modern Electric
Light Operated by 4 Pocket
Storage Battery.

Chicago.-The assertion that the
time ia fast approaching when naked
lights In coal mines will be absolutely
abolished Is made by a writer. A few
years ago. he says, there were prac-
tically no safety light mines in Amer
lea; today there are, a large number Of
mines using safety lights exclusively
IN all Of their underground work. Tho
chief objection to safety lamps Is
due almost entirely to their poor light.
Acetylene has been tried, but 1t is
dangerous. Electricity Is the hope Of
the future, and he gives an account
Of q newly invented miners lamp that
ID fed by electric current from a peck
ct storage battery. This battery, we
are told, Is as handy as an oil canteen
and 1t Is as unbreakable, being ar
mor-clad" with sheet steel. Tho charE-
Ing rack is SO arranged that tho bat
terry Is left in 1t on the way out so
mat the miners use their batteries
IN the Same way as the checks employ
Cd as umekeepers. By looking at the
rack q given miners presence or alb
sence can Dc told at once, As tho bat
ter1es are all numbered to correspond
with their users.
Wet mines will not affect the lamp
~ the body Is made Of aluminium and
10 waterproof. Furthermore, the body
OF the lamp is filled with a special
composition. making it possible to use
the light under water.
The voltage of the lamp being only
two volts, it is claimed that there IL
no danger Of any sparks at tho time
the contact Is broken in any part of
the device; as a consequence, 1t II
said to be impossible to cause an ex-
plosion in gas mixture. In recent
tests. tho globe used in the lamp was
purposely broken in body Of gas, to
ascertain II. when the globe breaks,

Walls That Don't Transmit Sounds,

Experiments have recently been car
ried out in Germany with the object
of discovering methods and means for
rendering walls and ceilings capable
Of effective resistance to sound trans
mission. One Of the more recently
devised methods involves the use I'M
Ter the ceiling, or parallel to the wall,
as the case may be, of a network of
wire stretched tightly by means of pull
leys secured into adjacent walls and
not touching at any point the surface
TO be protected against sound.
Upon the wire network is plastered
! composition formed of strong glue,
plaster of paris and granulated cork,
so as to make a fiat slab, between
which and the wall or ceiling is a
cushion of confined air. The method
described is said to be good in two re-.
spects: first, the absence of contact
between the protective and protected
surfaces, and, secondly, the colloid ma
:ure of the composition recommended
or the plaster.

Electric Light for Miners.

1t would ignite the gas; the results
showed that the gas could not be IT,
nited in that way.
The average estimated light Of the
bulb used in the lamp is from 200 to
300 hours, or In other words about
the same as the average commercial
incandescent lamp. The life of the
battery is one or two years. .
AS shown by the accompanying cut,
there is hook by which the lamp can
be attached to the cap the same as an
old lamp; when used this way, tho
rings shown on the cable, can
be attached to the back Of cap and
shirt, II desired, either with an
ordinary safety-pin or by stitching.
However. experience has shown that
the miners prefer to hook the
lamp on their shirt fronts or other
parts of their clothing.
The advocates Of this style of light
claim numerous advantages: 1. No
danger of igniting gas or possibility
Of an accident while handling powder.
!. The light cannot be blown out by
windy shot or gust OF air. 8. They
save much time that Is lost in picking
up and filling oil and carbide lamps.
I. There Is no oil or dirt to grease
the hands and clothes, which IL Q
great advantage. especially to engi.
noers and others who have to handle
papers and instruments. s. It costs
less to use tho lamp than 1t does to
use An ordinary oil or carbide light. 8.
The air in the mine will be clear and
pure. and there will not be smoke and
gas given OF by carbide or oil lamps.
The fact that the light cannot be
extinguished by windy shot or 9TH
Or conclusion Is a distinct advantage
for many lives have been lost through
miners being overcome by afterdamp
while cropping their way in a mine
after their lights have been blown out.
Should tho battery weaken, the light
will not 60 out suddenly and leave
one In tho dark.

Keeping the Children Amused,

A delightful way to amuse children
and incidentally their parents, is by
illustrating fairy story, the title OF
which is guessed by those watching
the performance.
Select a well-known story and di.
vide 1t into short parts, or acts. Then
let the children act the various parts
In dumb show, using gestures without
speech, which are not hard to teach
very small children.
The idea Is good one for bazaar
or school entertainments, where a pub.
lie performance can be the climax OF
several rehearsals.
II possible. dress the little actors in
costume and let the performance be
given to the accompaniment OF sug-
gestive music that will help them
make the right gestures at the proper
time. Without having to think OF
lines to recite. children learn posi-
ions and gestures very quickly.
