Fatalists Are Stubborn Fighters.

Those who think the present Turk
ish government is blufhng in recall
ing its peace ENJOYS from London
may be mistaken.
They base their belief on the fact
that the Turks cannot hope to be sue
cessful in any further military opera
tons
On the other hand, the Turks have
little more to lose,, except the lives OF
their soldiers And they have always
held life cheaply They have always
been fatalists. They have always be-
lieyed that the gates of Heaven open
wide to the soldier who dies in de-
fense Of his country.
Unless modern notions have cor
rupted the Turks standards it may
well be that they stand ready TO KEEP
up their hopeless fight as long as they
can muster a corporars guard.

The SphygmOmanometer.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
The sphygmomanometer is an in
strument of recent invention for
measuring the blood pressure. The
name is derived from sphygmos, the
pulse; manos, thin. rare; and meter,
a meacure. The manometer had been
in use for some time as an instrument
for measuring the tension of gases
and vapors, and was readily adapted
TO testing blood pressure by adding a
rubber bulb and a cuff with rubber
bag attached on the inside. This is
placed over the brachial artery, above
the elbow, and when the pressure
through the rubber bulb has shut off
the artery so the pulse can not be felt
at the wrist, the reading in the graded
scale at the height of the column of
mercury indicates the blood pressure
The normal blood pressure is 125 mill
metres In hardening Of the ar
teries, and accompanying heart and
kidney complications, the blood pres
sure is an important symptom to be
studied. Several of the large life in
surance companies require the blood
pressure to be taken in applications
for large amounts. One company re-
quires it in all applicants without re-
gard to age or amount. The company
claims to have saved $4,000 in losses
the first year in which they required
the use of the sphygmomanometer.
They followed the history of cases re-
jected On account of high blood pres
sure only, and found several who
died within the year Of apoplexy.

EXIT THE JINRISKSHA.

Instead Of the jinriksha the auto
mobile!
In no one single sentence can the
advance of China in the past two
years be better depicted than that
which indicates the revolution that
has taken place in the mode Of trans
portation.
An American leutomobile man
back in this country to arrange for a
distributing Office for motor cars il
Shanghi says:
s'You would be somewhat aston
ished at the number of automobiles
you would see on the drive between
the Shanghai bund and the Bubbling
mandarins and merchants, with theil
families, behind their we'll grooneo
chauffeurs, enjoying themselves
exactly as prosperous American on
this beautiful route. But you would
not have to leap to the side OF the
road for your life. The Chinese are
averse to speeding. 1t is a rare ex-
ception to see a machine travelling 2C
miles an hour.
There were few automobiles in the
whole of China until about two years
ago. The advent Of the republic has
quickened progress along all lines and
of course the automobile is one of the
greatest distinguishing marks of pro,
gress.
The introduction of the automobile
into the scene, however. makes a sin
gular picture. The age-old methods
of transportation have not been SUI
prseded by any means. Side by side
on the same road, you may see the
latest and s1nartest models Of automo

Insects Injurious to Stored Corn.

The insects found in stored corn are
numerous, but among them are only
two great destroyers which require
serious attention. These destroyers
are the notorious black rice weevil and
the grain moth commonly known as
grain fy." The life history and habits
of these two champion corn pests are
very similar and the treatment efec-
tive against one is also effective against
the other, as we'll as rats, mice and
other insects present.
The full grown females lay eggs
which hatch into grubs. When the
grubs become full grown they harden
the body skin, turn brown or black
and become practically motionless
This is called the pupa stage. From
this pupa stage the full grown males
and females emerge. The time or
dinarily required to pass from egg tc
full grown insects is about six weeks

NAPOLEAN AND NJ"

Tragic Career.

London Tit-Bits.
Both Napoleon and Napolean III

ance to the letter M" Marfboeuf was
the first to call attention to the genius
of the young Bonaparte at the mill
tary college. Marengo was Napoleon's S
first great victory. Medas was the
name of the general whom he super
seded in the command Of the French
army in Italy.
Mortier was one of his best geneT-
ais. 1t was Moreau who betrayed
him. Murut, king of Naples, was the
first martyr to his cause. Marie Louise
shared the eliminating point OF his
success. Moscow was the scene Of his
greatest disaster, and it was Meter
Mich who defeated him in the field OF
diplomacy.
No fewer than six of his field mar
shals and Is of his best generals had
names beginning with IN" and
Murat, Duke of Bassanio, was his
most trusted confident His very first
battle was that of Moulnotte, and his
last that of Mount Saint Jean, subse-
ouently and more universally known
as Waterloo.
Among his victories were those OF
Millesimo, Mondori, Montmlrall'
Montereau and Montimartre. His first
chamberlain was NJ. de MontesQuleu,
His last residence in France was at
Malmaison. He surrendered himself
to Capt. Maitland of his British mai
esty's ship Beilierophon, and his at
tendants at st. Helena were Monthol-
on and Marchand
The superstition attached by Napo-
leon III to the same letter may De
accounted for by the fact that his wife
was Countess of Montijo, that his
most intimate friend was the Duke OF
Morny, and his most dreaded enemies
Mazzini The most glorious feats OF
arms by the French army during his
reign were the capture OF the Mala-
koH and of the grim Mamelon during
the Crimean war. His most famous
field marshalls were MacMahon, Duke
of Magents and the Duke of MalaSof'
The great victory of Solferino IN
1889 took place on the banks Of the
Mincio. and the cities of Mantua and
Milan played an important role dur
ing the campaign. The Mexican war
and the execution of the Emperor
Macmillan caused his power TO Wane
perceptibly; Malmsbury was the name
of his most intimate friend in Engish
political life. Sedan, which witnessed
his fall, is on the banks of the Meuse'

whose genius he chiefly owed his de-
feat.

! from other buildings, fumigate with
sulphur at the rate of l-2 pounds to
1000 Gu. it. Of space. Use an old iron
kettle and the sulphur can be fired by
pouring little alcohol on it before
lighting it, Instead Of alcohol, you
can use hot embers but remember that
you do not have your head above the
kettle when you put the embers in.
The writer has had experience and
urges that this precaution be OBJ
served You probably doubt the ef-
factiveness of this fumigation because
your crib is an open one. Tighten the
crib; the corn is worth preserving
DO not expect that you can control
the weevil successfully in an open
crib. !,
Sscond.-After your crib is clean
and tight, put in your new crop and
when it is all stored fumigate twice
10 to 12 days apart as follows:
Beginning at the back Of the crib,
pour carbon bisulphide as uniformly
as possible over the surface Of the
corn, at the rate of 6 to Z pounds per
1000 Gu. #. of space. The gas given
off, being heavier than air, sinks down
through the corn and penetrates to
the weevils. Carbon bisulphide is not
dangerous to apply when care is taken
to breathe as little Of it as possible
ard to apply it as quickly as practical
bic. In the average crib confine the gas
as long as possible; in practically
every case it will have entirely es-
capped within 4S hours. Fumigation
with this strength Of the liquid in 10
way Injuries the termination Of the
corn or the feeding qualities OF the
corn so treated.
The fumigation does not kill eggs Or
pupae; it kills only the larvae and the
full grown weevils or flies" and
should therefore be repeated in ten
to twelve days.
A brand commonly used and known
as "Fuma" is manufactured and sold
by the Taylor Chemical Co., Penn Yam,
New York. The price is 10 cents per
pound, F. O. B. at the original ship
ping point. The freight on one SO Id.
drum from New York to Clemson Col
lege is s1.28 which would make so lbs.
of carbon bisulphide plus freight, cost
u 1-2c per pound. The drum costs
$3.50 and can be returned. Carbon
bisulphide can be shipped by freight
only. The tank should be kept in a
cool place and the plug kept screwed
tight when not in use.
Carbon bisulphide is very volatile;
that is, it converts to gas rapidly when
exposed to air at moderate tempera-
ture. The liquid and gas is highly IL
fammable and when set on fire is ex-
plosive. This, however, should not
frighten anyone intending to use it be-
cause it is merely necessary to keep
away fire of any kind when using 1t,
Just as you would when handling gaso-
line or gunpowder, It's pressure is
easily detected By its characteristic
rotten egg odor If a so lb. drum is
too much for you, then maybe you can
form club and your neighbors will
use part of it. If possible put sheet
of tin around each foundation pin OF
the crib, to prevent rats and mice from
getting into the corn.

NICKEL G FINANCE.

Sl
NJ. Raymond P%oincare, newly elect.
ed President of Franco, is a man of
resource. Most people know him as
O man Of resource chiefly within the
law. a province wherein he is eminent.
ly the first in tho country. But as
minister OF nance he solved a difficult
monetary question, not according to
the theories of the bankers in the Rue
Lahtte. but according to the practice
OF experts in human nature. In this
science there are no rules.
When he took the portfolio Of fl
nance NJ. Poincare found the twenty
' centime piece. corresponding to
the f%ve-cent piece here. exceedingly
unpopular. Small tradesmen were
even talking Of refusing to accept it.
Tearing that a coin of this base metal
might become as valueless as the for
elgn "coppers." Departmental Of
ficials conferred long and earnestly
upon the problem. and considered the
advisa bility of circulating pamphlets,
written by the most learned monetary
authorities. for the purpose Of en-
Tightening the masses: and making the
piece popular. The pamphlet would
appeal to the patriotism of the French
people-an Irresistible appeal!
Leave the matter. In my hands,"
said NJ. P%oincare.
Then to one Of his closest advisers
he promised within a short time the
twenty-f1ve-centime piece would be
the most popular coin in France. :.
In the rest of the story Poincare
was not mentioned by name. But the
rumor spread. and was published time
and again, that among the coins in
circulation were five with the potent
name Of R%othschild engraved in tiny
letters On them. The first person who
found n of these five and took 1t to
the Rothschilds' bank. in the Lafitte
so report had itAwould receive
$4,000. The second lucky one would
get $4,000. the third and fourth per-
sons $1,000 each. and the fifth $500.
The reason for this? Rumor went
on to supply q plausible one. Tho
Rothschilds had a large stock of
nickel on hand, it was said. and they
had devised this lottery scheme SO
that the demand for nickel might he
great. and the government stand in
need Of the supply they held:
