The Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1???-1928, 1913-12-17

An interesting story comes from a
district in Asiatic Turkey, The
American consul was investigating
tho effects of the Balkan wars on
this region and found that the most
constant and universal complaint was
the loss of banking facilities. This
seemed rather strange result Of war,
but further inquiry made the matter
clear
The only bank in that district was
managed by Greeks. as a branch or
the Bank of Athens. Naturally this
was closed when war broke out, for
foreign cash is not very safe when
within reach of a needy Turkish gov
eminent. AS a consequence, a CON
siderable district, peopled almost
wholly by Mohammedans, was de-
prived OF money to move It's crops,
carry on its trade and conduct its
business, because the enemies and
christian dogs" who formerly per
formed these services were gone.
The story illustrates at once the
interlocking OF national interests in
modern times and the peculiar de-
peudence Of Turkey on Christians in
general and Greeks in particular for
the conveniences of civilization.

Indians Have "Firewater."

When a brewery 500 miles from
civilization was reported to the Cana
dian royal mounted police at Chipe-
wayan station it seemed incredible,
for It was said to exist in country
that even the map-makers had left
blank. Sergeant Field was sent to
the Ray river country to investigate,
and tsays the Wide World Magazine)
he found a happy lot Of Indians
among whom "firewater' was quite as
common as it used to be down In Ken
lucky. He found that nearly every
buck" was the proprietor of a brew
ery,' and that life south of the Great
Slave lake was one long and joyous
spree. A strange white man had sold
the secret of making "firewater" to
the Indians, and they were making a
brew" of potatoes, hops, sugar, and
yeast, which, when allowed to fer
ment. was strong enough to cause in
toxication During the sumner
months the Indians raised potatoes
for this brew. but In scarcely any In
stance can they be persuaded to grow
anything for food.

Hamlet,

AT the first performance of Hamlet
upon any stage the applause was very
slight. and with it had been mingled
a few Kisses. There was no call for
the author from applauders or hissers,
and Burbage was in a terrible fury.
Hunting up the crestfallen author OF
the play, he roared
Shakespeare, this Hamlet of yours
is rotten! There isn't an epigram
from one end to the other, and no so
ciety play can hope to succeed with

her box, and Sir Walter Raleigh has
just kicked hound into the street to
relieve his feelings! You've got to in.

Next morning the trembling author
handed in a sheaf of Picturesque sen.
fences that embraced the following:
'Brevity is the soul of wit"
Conscience doth make towards OF
us ALL"
'Frailty, thy name is woman
"'Tis true, it's pity. and pity It's It's
true"
Evidently they added the touch that
playgoers wanted. for Hamlet is run

VERY LITTLE HAND LABOR
At Least go Per Cent. of Factory Work
of the World Is Now Done
by Machinery.

Year by year more and more OF the
work of the world is taken up by ma
cbinery In bulletin recently issued
by the government it is estimated that
100000 factory workers in the Unit
ed States turn out product equal to
the hand labor of 100000 men.
This means that in the factories 80
per cent. of the work is done by ma
chinery. A very large part of this ma
chinery is driven by steam power,
which means largely coal power, and
both the getting and burning of this
coal involves terrible waste. In
the United States alone the production
Of coal now reaches nearly 50000000
tons, and in the whole world far above
1,000000,000 tons. And it is estimated
that this means the actual mining of
half again as much coal. One-third is
lost or left in the mines in such shape
that it cannot be used.
Then of this net production-the
twothirds perhaps 30 per
cent is lost in the burning. At least
this is true of the coal used in engines.
Even the finest neutrality-suspicious.
engines, with all modern devices Of SUI.
perheated steam and the like to aug
ment their capacity, do not utilize
more than II per cent. of the energy
stored in the coal, while the average
steam engine of commercial use does
not get more than six or seven per
cent In other words, it is only about
three per cent. of the chained-up sun
light in the ground that eventually be.
comes available for human needs.
And, further than this, the mere
hauling and handling and storage and
distribution Of this coal costs the
United States alone probably a full
$1,000, 100000, The coal traffic is, in.
deed, the chief item of railway trans
portation. From all this it is sutii-
GENTLY clear why the problem Of uti-
LIKING coal energy has SO deeply en-
gagged the minds of inventors and en-
gineers. and why ever a relatively
small gain would mean SO much to the
human race.-Coller's Weekly.

GAP FOR BIG FOUR INCLINE

Much surprise is being expressed
that a gap, or opening has been left
in the Mississippi levee where the
Big Four track leads down to the
incline. The track at this point,
Washington avenue crossing lead
ing to Cairo point enjoys a latitude
exceeding coo feet in which a mod
crate elevation could have been Sc
cured enabling the road to operate
the incline without any trouble
from a too heavy grade, AT present
there is no way by which wagons
can get over the new levee at this
point since the Big Four track has
not been raised.
