Turkish Army Meets Defeat at Hands
Of suigarians and Their Allies In
Great Battle on the Thraclan
Plains.

London.-The Turkish army Ia in
full retreat on Constantinopie and the
Turkish government has asked the
powers to intervene.
An official bulletin was issued by
the government at Constantinople
Sunday night admitting defeat at the
hands of the Bulgarians in the great
battle on the Thracian plains.
Application was made to the en-
bassy in Constantinople Sunday night
for mediation by the powers to end
the hostilities and arrange a peace
agreement
The ambassadors, piror to this, had
asked the porte to grant permission
to each Of the great powers to send
warships through the Dardanelles and
this has not been complied with. The
only guaranty of safety for the native
Christians and perhaps foreigners in
Constantinople Is to be found in the
defense of warships OF the great
powers In the harbor of the Turkish
capital.
It is the general belief that Bulgaria
will Insist that Turkey make an ap-
peal direct to the allies without inter
ference from the powers.
The powers have not been able to
agree upon the French premier's for
mula of territorial disinterested-
ness" which is not acceptable to Aus
tria or Germany. The powers are TAX

tians and their own political interests
In Turkey. One warship in addition
to the vessels already despatched to
the Turkish ports will be sent through
the Dardenelles by each OF the powers.

BOILING WATER.
Under Certain Conditions It's just
Right For a Nice Bath.

Right For Nice Bath.
Water is fluid simply because its
particles. which may be compared to
an aggregation Of infinitesimal pearls.
are kept separated by latent heat.
Outside heat applied to vessel con-
tanning water causes the latent and
applied heat both to act on the air con
tanned in the water. Under such con-
ditions pure water at sea level will
boil at temperature of 212 degrees F.
If the barometer pressure be thirty
inches.
If. however. the vessel containing
this same water be carried to the top
of high mountain or put under the
exhausted receiver Of an air pump it
will boil before 1t reaches the tempera-
ture OF 212. because the atmosphere
has been taken away so as to allow
the air contained in the water to es
cape before it becomes sufficiently
heated to impart that quality to the
loose particles Of water surrounding it
At height OF $4,000 feet on the sides
of the Himalaya mountains water boils
at temperature of $50 degrees and
under the exhausted receiver of the
air pump at only - degrees.
This proves that boiling water is not
always equally hot. 1t also tells us
why it is next to impossible to cook
meat. vegetables. etc. in high attitudes
by the boiling process.-London Satur-
day Review.
