LONDON, Dec. 18-"The Balkan

statement today OF DR.. 8. Daneft
chief delegate OF Bulgaria.
The hitch In peace negotiations
caused by the Turkish protest against
the recognition OF the Greek plenipo
teftiaries, which brought about the
adjournment until Thursday, served
to emphasize the solidarity OF the
Balkan alliance, in the opinion o.
diplomats watching the war game, TO

Az matters stood In today's lull
Turkey would not recognize Greece
In the peace negotiations and the

not amazingly hopeful, In the eyes OF
the diplomats and military experts
but the optimists believed that there
would be peace. Turkey, they pointed
cut, was merely playing the traditional
fabian role OF the Ottoman.
There was more talk of foreign
mediation today. Grave fears were
expressed by some that the breach
between the Turkish and Greek dele

the intercession OF some neutral
power.

FIND THE SECRET OF LIFE
Savants Of University of Pennsylvania
Produce Guinea Pigs With
Serum They Make.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following up the
research experiments performed at
the Rockefeller institute In New York,
Psychologists of the University Of
Pennsylvania have completed a series
Of tests which are amazing.
The scientists have found It Is i'm
possible to produce animal life artii-
cially. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but female guinea pigs
have been impregnated by an artificial
solution, Stimulating the normal animal
secretion, and from this there has
been produced the true animal embryo
which has grown to normal size and
been born as the result of this treat,
ment.
1t was found a solution of water, 80
per cent, salts II per cent, and an acid
similar to the malic acid that is found
in certain forms of vegetable life.
would cause human tissues to grow.
When the fact was established, then
the men of science were ready to pro,
coed with their comparative animal
tests.
Several female guinea pigs were
isolated so as to preclude the posi-,
bility of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two of these artifcially
produced pigs died, but one is sti
living.

riculture, and it Is a high class Of ag-
riculture, carried on by the use of
brains, and, where energy has not
been endowed, it has become in that
splendid air a case Of inoculated en-
ergy.
The rapid advancement OF railways
makes the situation easy. Today one
may be located thirty miles from n
Of the many branches of the different
systems. A year from now, the whis-
tie of the locomotive and the long
train of cars may pass the farm, the
elevator is but a short drive from the
home, a splendid market is established,
and all the advantages of an old set
tied community are at hand.
The prospects this year from an ag-
ricultural standpoint are exceedingly
bright, and, relieved Of untoward con-
ditions, the farmer is already counting
his bank roll, planning for more ex-
tensive operations for next year, and
figuring on paying out for his farm.
He is calculating what the increased
value of his holdings, as a result of a
successful crop, will add to his assets.
Already some fields of wheat have been
harvested, barley has been cut, and
the yield is above his expectation. In
fact, the feeling at the time of writing
is that never in the history Of any
country on the continent has there
been such a prospect Of a large aver

provinces of Canada, as will be harvest

and is made of equal parts Of gold,
silver and copper, and is Of exquisite
workmanship.
Another image recovered to which
attaches especial interest is the figure
of a maG-soh, the physical character
istics of which coincide with those of
the mummied bodies. 1t also bears a
marked resemblance to the Egyptians.
The curved nose, running straight
from the forehead, eyes and thick
lips, are closely like the sculptured'
heads which have been recovered Of
TahUtmes III, Princess Nefert and
of early Egyptian kings in limestone
at Karaak.
These images, together with the
methods of embalming, the art OBJ
jects and household and Industrial
implements, it is believed, give strong
grounds for concluding that the civili-
zation of the Egyptians of the historic
period and the ancient Peruvians came
from the same source, or that the
Egyptians got their civilization from
the Peruvians.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources Of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what Is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials o. the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there Is in Canada 1874
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of "A billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. If
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1855 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500, 900, 900 tons. At that rate it
would take only AS years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up of about four hundred thousand per-
sons a year land it looks now as if this
number would be reached this year,,

FINDS ANCIENT RACE
Archaeological Remains of I'M
portance Found in Peru.
Region Near Lake TItIcaca Excavated
and Tombs Are Discovered-6ody
of Princess Buried 5000 Years
3. c., Is Recovered.

San Observation-Disclosures re-
mains of vast Importance to the crit
ical historian and anthropologist and
which contribute valuable new evil
dence, if not an entirely new theory,
upon the origin and history of races,
are being unearthed in Peru by treas
ure hunters and scientists, according
to Charles R. Keller, an American
mining engineer, who arrived In San
Francisco a few days ago from the
land of the Incas. Mr.. Keller has
just completed a mining survey Of
the region south of Lake Titicaca,
and while prospecting near Arequipa,
his Indian workmen discovered a.
number of small tugulii, which proved
to be the tombs of people of an n
eient race.
The bodies had been embalmed in
the same ann as the Egyptian
mummies, and the tombs contained,
many statues and idols of immense
interest in historic anthropology. One
tomb contained the mummified re-
mains of a princess in an excellent
state of preservation. The body was
found in a sitting posture, with the
feet drawn up under the thigh and
the hands folded across the breast.
The body was wrapped in a long cloth
of the finest linen, in which had been
woven pictorial and hieroglyphical de-
signs. The body was adorned with
a heavy gold breast plate, necklace,
wristlets and anklets, and carried I'M
der each arm a golden vase. One Of
these vases was the deceased's cocoa
bowl, in which a quantity of the pre-
pared cocoa leaves and lime still re-
manned.
Professor Hiram Bingham, who is
at the head of an exploring expedi-
ton from Yale university, has made
several similar discoveries, but what
is considered more important than
the treasure recovered is the finding
of a number of idols and images
which throws hitherto unknown light
upon the customs and physiological
peculiarities of the people.
The tombs discovered near Are
quipa, according to the psychologists,
were closed at least 5000 years B. c.
They belong to a pre-Inca race, either
the Chiapas, Sauaseras or the Hua-
las. Among the interesting images
brought north by Mr.. Keller, one is
of a god which bears a striking re-
semblance to the early Coptic reliefs
found at Knossus, in Egypt. This

ed this year. The railroads are add
ing to their already large mileage and
have got ready for handling the crop
thousands Of box cars. The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush of business that is sure to
follow, and everywhere there is the
note Of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifable.
There is, as has been said, a vast
area of the country still open for set
Element and homesteading lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its greer stage, said:
"Just now, the whole country is a
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and i~nterspersed with pleatings of
shrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling ove the virgin soil, I have seen
some of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid Of man. The land in general
is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with yetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions of
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds n of a few small
garden patches.
When we consider the estimated
crop of $780, 00, 900 bushels Of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces-
sive, but with even $50 million bushels,
there will be a great deal of satisfac.
ton on the part of the settlers.

FISH ALMOST BROWNS BOY,
seventeen-Pound "Cat" Pulls Jersey
Lad Out of Boat-Saved
by a Friend.

Newark, N. J.-Cuthbert Everett, a
sevsnteen-year-old Ritchfield boy, had
a narrow escape from drowning while
fishing in Greenwood lake, when a
seventeen-pound catfish pulled him
out of the boat into the water. Wish
ing to light a cigarette, Everett made
a loop in his line and threw it over
his head. Scarcely had he done so
when a tug at the line pulled him
clear out of the boat. 1t was almost a
minute before the boys head appear

A friend who was fishing near by
reached him in time to lift him out of
the water before he went down the
third time.
