THE BULGARIANS
All Are Peasants Trained to tho Use
of Arms,

Writers of the history which 70 the
man of today is news will no doubt
give much space in the accounts Of
the Balkan war of 1912 to the re-
markable efficiency Of the Bulgarian
army. which on this side of the At
lantic at least was almost an un-
known factor. .-
The fact that the campaign OF the
Balkan States against Turkey was
perfected long before the war began
is conceded, but yet the remarkable
precision with which Bulgaria has
made every move and has accomplish
ed up to the present everything she
had set out to do is source of con-
siderable wonderment to the layman
who takes only passing interest in
foreign affairs.
Up to the time of writing only one
part of the Bulgarian plan has not
been carried out. That is the fall of
Adrianople. But Turkey for this has
to thank the Committee of Union and
Progress which, as is known, over
threw the Government in 1909.
Whether the Young Turks, as the
committee is known, have done the
lettering empire any real good is a
mooted question, but it is certain that
they have done at least one thing,
and that is to make Adrianople a
formidable fortress instead of a town
with crumbling defenses, as it was
before the inception Of the present
regime. The Young Turks in the
hands OF their competent foreign adj
yisers. realized that from this direc-
ton would come their most powerful
enemy; that with Adrlanoplc in the
enemy's hands there would be little
but the Tchataldja Notifications, also
recently strengthened, between the
invader and Constantinoplc.
TO go back into the history of only
the past few years one finds the rev.
erence of the soldier in Bulgaria SIM
liar to that state of affairs existing
in Germany without the Germanic
worship of the sword and the brilliant
uniform. The Bulgarian army is an
army Of peasants. soldiers and Off
GERS alike, and all make religious
study of military tactics inspired by
patriotism, by the national songs
which tell of Bulgarla's past glory
and the Unborn hatred OF the Turk.
The dream Of King Ferdinand, only
Car Of the Bulgars since October 6,
1908, Is the driving OF the Turk into
! Asia, from whence he may never re-
turn. or as diplomatists say, the sud
! den death of the sick man of Eu-
rope" Then, as already has been
limited, Ferdinand's dream embraces
the establishment of Balkan en-
pire, uniflcation of all the Slav
races. This is not an idle dream, as
a glance into history will show, but
Is the reassertion of the ancient Bull
zarian policy.
The Slavs were the first to arrive
in the Balkan peninsula in the third
century. On their arrival they found
towns and strongholds, roads and
! buildings of all sorts left by the Ro-
mans. The Bulgarians, originally a
tribe on the banks of the Volga, mi
! grated in the sixth century and over
ran the greater part of the eastern
peninsula.
The history Of Bulgaria is record
of constant war and strife. Twice
she has been ground under the heel
of Turkey or Byzantium, each ;ime
due to her inferior internal organiza-
; ton. In 1854 the Prince Of the Bull

GERM is SLAIN BY HOT AIR
French Physician Discovers New
Method Which May Revolu-

Paris.-A remarkable new treatment
of diphtheria has just been communi-
Gated by the distinguished physician.
Robert Rendu, to the Lyons Medical
association.
In the course of his experiments
with the bacilli of this disease DR..
Rendu found that they were extreme
ly sensitive to heat, and he was able
to kill them in fifteen minutes at a
temperature of so degrees centigrade
(122 degrees Fahrenheit) or in one
minute at so degrees CTS degrees
Fahrenheit)
To apply such heat to the mucous
membrane in the throat in which
diphtheria microbes congregate the
inhalation of hot air seemed a posi-
BILE method, and in experiments with
himself the investigator found to his
own surprise that he was able with
out any difficulty to inhale air at 100
degrees or the boiling point (212 de-
grees Fahrenheit) for two minutes at
time

already been tried on diphtheritic pa

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
Bheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part of
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed
King Bruce had lost many battles
He was discouraged He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began it's
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
it failed. The king watched intently
forgetful of all else. An hour passed
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, eff
at first you don't succeed try again"

Mans Eyes Open Since Stricken
With Sorrow.
Spends His Nights at Work and Com.
plains Of No Weariness-Fur-
nishes Puzzle Physicians
Cannot Solve.

Trenton, N. J.-Having been with
out sleep for thirty years, Albert e.
Herpin, Trenton man, at last COM
plains of feeling weary. Mentally he
experiences no WEAKNESS, but he says
he is physically weak and believes a
nap of only five minutes duration
would give him new life. Physicians
who have been following the sleepless
wonders case for years say he is
merely suffering from overwork, and
do not agree with the theory that so
MANY years of wakefulness has caused
his physical health to fail.
Since the power of sleep left him
Herpin has never before expressed a
desire to even doze. He has shown
no lassitude day or night. The only
rest he gets is when he sits in COM
Portable chair for several hours each
night, but he does not even then close
his eyes.
His sleeplessness has brought him
considerable money, as he thought
out inventions during some of his
resting periods that proved successful.
He works every day, excepting Sun
day, in local pottery, and he spends
most of the night working out inven-
tions or decorating pottery for friends.
Herpin is always in good spirits
and when he reports to his employers
in the morning he seems as fresh as
any of the other workmen who had
hours of sound sleep. Those who
work with the sleepless man assert
that he keeps constantly busy and ex-
hibits not the slightest symptoms of
drowsiness. The only complaint that
Herpin has made because of his con-
dition is that he becomes lonely fire.
quently at night when he has nothing
to keep him busy.
Herpin lost his ability to sleep aft
er the death of his wife, 80 years ago.
He was then 80 years old. He con-
suited physicians, who studied his
strange condition, but who were un-
able to help him. From time to time
he has been secretly watched at night.
The medical men who undertook this
task are convinced the man has not
slept moment since first attacked by
the strange malady from which he Is
believed to be suffering.
Experts from all parts Of the United
States have visited Herpin's home and
studied his condition and have gone
away convinced that he has been
awake longer than any man in the
world. Herpin enjoys the visits OF
these experts, as many of them remain
with him for nights. He says he never
believes he will sleep again.

Guatama Figure, Made of Carved
Teak, Said to Walk Around the
House at Night.

London.-For months past the at

kept observing eyes on weird LOOK
ing Guatama Buddha figure, which en-
tered the museum a year ago with
sinister reputation. A lady sold 1t to
the museum authorities on account OF
it's supposed uncanny ways in her
house. So far the figure, which is
made of carved teak and stands seven
feet high, has exhibited no signs Of
unrest in it's new home, but the at
te-dants, primed with knowledge of
it's past record, have not yet relaxed
their attention.
It's history, so far as he knows it,
was related recently by G. Stanley
Clarke, the officer in charge of the In
dian section. "The lady from whom
we purchased it," he said, told me
that it belonged to her father, sea
captain, who acquired it in lower Bur-
ma about 1853. He sailed with it for
England. Near Liverpool the ship
caught fire and the superstitious sail
ors, believing the Buddha to be the
cause, threw it overheard.
''The ship was brought safely to
harbor Soon after the Buddha wash
ed ashore near the vessel. The cap
tain succeeded after great difficulty
in satisfying the authorities that the
figure belonged to him.

daughter. Then the trouble began.
