From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 HROPHECY has proven of little val H ue in giving the world information .a. J as to the relative strength of the Balkan states and Turkey. Upon paper it was easy to figure out the defeat oi the allies. and there emanated from Flu ropean sources. supposedly informed, nu- merous agreeing forecasts of the reverse of the situation that now, according to the aablegrams, exists.
 What the result will be, whether there will be European complications, is guess work. But that new Bulgaria is intro- duced to the world as one of the results of less than a months fighting Is unde- niable. That the allies would be hammer ing at the gates of Contsantinople before the falling of the first deep snows upon the Rhodope hills was denouement, not prophcsied or imagined.
 The decadence of Turkey Is probably more advanced than tho nations had be- lisved. It was assumed that the Terrible Turk" would be different, and more diff flcult, adversary upon lahu, ana Witn ms back to Constantinople. than he had proyen in the recent brush with Italy. While the individual is probably still ex- cellent material for the making of a sol- dier the inference from the course events have taken, is that the Turkish army is in a demoralized condition. and that the ottoman empire, never constructive ex- cept in power for destruotiveness. is more truly .The Sick Man" than it had been believed to be. Nevertheless, bulk is a factor in military operations. and the brillisncy of the Bulgarian victory that is reported must be estimated to some extent in accordance with the relative nu- merical strength of the opposing forces. The Bulgarians are evidently in fighting trim to g degree hardly suspected by ob- servers Of the little known Near East .

auestlon of Gauge. of Guns


 "The shooting season has brought into discussion the merits of the different guages of guns" said an enthusiastic sportsman
 For many years it was thought that the gun for the best all round results r. the field was the 10 guage' gun. Then the 12 gauge had the call, and kept 1t for many years. Tn the last few seasons the 16 gauge has proven most popular and effective for wing shooting, but the 20 gauge Is winning popular favor. The demand for 20 gauge pump guns has been almost too great for the supply. The argument in favor of this gun is its light ness in weight and that the smaller charge does not jar the man behind the gun as much-in fact, it's discharge gives only a comparatively loud pop It is ac- knowledged that for long shots, say 60 to 75 yards, the 20 does not give results as satisfactory as even a 1e'
 'I shoot a 16' and I believe that tie Lest results are obtained with d moderate load, say < of an ounce of shot; but these should be e7s' to being witii. and -6s' after January 1. when the birds are stronger and swifter. It will be seen that the heavier shot will carry farther and give a stronger conoussion. just as & blow from a larger stone thrown would be more ef- fective than rather small one.
 It will probably be interesting to many to know what is the system used in gauging guns. It is the number of round leaden balls there are in pound, one of which balls will fit the bore of the gun 12 gauge gun will take ball the size of which 12 of them would weigh a pound. and 20 gauge a ball running 20 to ina mound

UNPOPULAR.

He ne'er was known to tell lie,
 But always spoke the caustic truth, E' en when there was good reason why He might have spared it's biting tooth And glossed OCT facts with fiction light, To cheer none too happy heart; Although that may not be just right, It often helps to ease smart. But he of whom our lay is writ
 Was stern when others faults were
 seen;
 It did not help their case a bit
 To state why twas they erred, I ween. A srade to him always a spade.
 Twas thus through life he took his way And neighbors whom he'd oft dismayed Despfsed him to his dying day.

All that sort of talk is buncombe. The best that any city admin fstration can do, whether it be in New York, Chicago, Atlanta or Birmingham is to minimize crime and to keep vice from Haunting itself.
 Birmingham has had frightfully bad record in the matter O. homicides, but tnere has certainly been an improvement in this respect in the past year or two. In other respects Birmingham is apparently as decent a city as New Orleans, Allan ta or Richmond. I have spent good deal of time in each of those cities and Birmingham will compare well with any of them when it comes to the question of law enforcement

Ttfteen-DoIInIr Iron

This time last year when iron was sell ing at $9.50 No. foundry basis 1t looked so dull that few people in the trade imagined it would be selling for $i5 year from that time. said a business man closely identified with the industrial world.
 "A great deal of Birmingham iron has heen sold for $l4 and s145o and yester- day good sized order was booked at sl5 for No. for second quarter delivery. This looks good because 1t is strong indica- ton of the sentiment with regard to next years business. We have had a great deal of prosperity, but we will have even more in 1913. Another good thing about the iron market is that the price ad- vanced gradually and not by feverish jumps. {
 Two months ago it was feared that we would have runaway market, but there is no danger of that now. Iron will probably go up as high as $16 and that will certainly be high enough

A LOVERS SONG

From Tennyson's Maud"
 Birds in the high Hall garden
 When twilight was falling, Maud. Maud, Maud, Maud,
 They were crying and calling. Where was Maud? In OUT wood;
 And l, who else. was with her, Gathering woodland lilies,
 Myriads blow together. Birds in our wood sang,
 Ringing through the valleys, Maud Is here. here. here
 In among the lilies. I kissed her slender hand.
 She took the kiss sedateiy; Maud Is not seventeen,
 But she is tall and stately. to cry out on pride
 Who have won her favor, Maud were sure of Heaven
 If lowiiness could save her. I know the way she went
 Home with her maiden posy. For her feet have touched the meadows And left the daisies rosy. Birds in the high Hall garden Were crying and calling to her. Where is Maud. Maud, Maud,
 One is come to woo her. Look. a horse at the door,
 And the lfttis King Charles is snarlfna Go back. my lord, across the moos.
 You are not her darling.

KISSING IN MONTENEGRO

From the London Chronicle
 The Montenegrins. though perhaps the best fighters in Europe. are generous, hos pitable and chivalreus. They show their women deference, although not treating them as equals They may exact inces- sant labor from their wives, but they would not raise weapon against the weaker sex, and no man would arrest an- other man, be his offense what it might, so long as the mans wife was present. It is said that the Montenegrin women are born only to be mothers of the na- tion, but this does not entitle them to a seat at the table with the men folk, or to be saluted by kiss, which is the seal 'of affection reserved by men only for eQuais--other men.

OBJECT LESSON IN HEREDITY

From the Journal of The American Med-
 cal Association.
 The long looked for history of the Kal- likak family has at last come from the press of the publishers. Under the aus p'ces of the Training School for Feeble Minded at Vineland. N. J., pr. Henry H. Goddard has investigated and compiled the results of his work In the heredity of this most remarkable family. During rev. olutionary days, the first Martin KallilSals (the name is fictitious) descended from took advantage of feeble minded girl. The result of their indulgence was a feeble minded son. This son married a nor mai woman. They in turn produced five feeble minded and two normal children Practically all of the descendants of these detectives have been traced as well as those of the two normals.
 From bith normal and defective de- scendants-sof this union came long line of defective stock. There were 4SO. in all. Of these 36 were illegitimate, 8 sex ually immoral, 24 confirmed alcoholics and three epleptics. Eighty-two died in in- fancy, three were criminal, eight kept houses of i'll fame and 143 were distinct Fly feeble minded. Only 46 were found who were apparently normal. The rest are unknown or doubtful. But the scion of the good family, who started this long line of delinquent and defective pro- peny is also responsihla for o rtrain z 2 an entirely different character After the revolutionary war was over, he mar ried Quaker girl of good ancestry and settled down to live respectable life after the traditions of his forefathers From this legal union with a normal woman there have been 496 descendants All of these except two have been of normal mentality. The exceptions were cases of insanity, presumably inherited through marriage with an outside strain in which there was constitutional psychopathic tendency. In all the 49s there is not an instance of feeble mind edness. The offspring descended from this side of the house have universally occupied positions in the upper walks Of life. They have never been crininal. or ne'er do wells On the other hand. there has not been a single instance of exceptional ability among the desce-d-' ants of the first Martin Kallikak and the feeble minded girl. Most of these descendants have failed to rise above the dead level of medioerity; indeed, most Of them have fallen far below even th,s minimum standard.

A Great Singer

Albert Gregorowich Janpolski, the great Russian baritone who will be heard in Birmingham this season in the Sunday afternoon series, is about to start on a transcontinental tour" said a member of the musical set. He Is in greater de- mand at this time than any other vocal artist. He is. so the managers say, q sure box office proposition. He draws immense audiences everywhere. His Pa cific coast engagements are record break CTS. He will give more recitals in Cali fornia in the month of January than were ever given in that section by any one artist before The Brooklyn Eagle says: MT. Janpolsld possesses one of ths most wonderful voices of the day. Of almost unlimited range, suave in produc- ton. the quality is vibrant, vital, allur- ingly human, reflecting spontaneously every emotion conceived in the brain of this truly great artist
 ''The concert committee arranging the Sunday afternoon series in Birmingham is to be cordially congratulated on Its enterprise in securing Janpolskl. His Birmingham date will be some time in February.
 "The seasons series will be given al the Jefferson theatre as usual. 1t starts with the Pasmore trio on November 2I. The committee is trying to secure Efrem Zimbalist. the great Russian violinist, and one of the highest priced artists in the world. for the second Sunday in De- cember. There would be no difficulty in getting him for the first Sunday, but that would come one week after the Pas mores and 1t is thought best to have at least two weeks intervene between att fractions. If zimbalist were giving con cert under some theatre managers aus pices, the price of tickets would range as high as s2 or s2.50. but holders of the season tickets for the Sunday musicales Fay only s and that price admits two persons to each of the concerts"

DAWN OF A NEW BULGARIA

more important results shall be, one ef- feet of the war now in progress will be to attract more of the worlds attention to the Balkan States as military entities worthy of more serious consideration than they received prior to their determination to undertake settling their long unsettled score with their Mohammedan neighbor, who was believed by other powers able to fall upon them and crush them by dead weight even if no longer possessed of the peculiar ability to fight that had distin. suished the Turk for centuries.
