WOMAN SAYS BULGARS
KILLED TURKS LIKE DOGS.
She Writes From Kavala Telling of
Awful Massaores by Troops.

An Austrian woman living in Kavala
has written a letter dated Dec. 8, but
only now published in the Montags
Zeitung, in which she describes fearful
atrocities by Bulgarian Komitadjis
upon the Turkish inhabitants. Having
described the arrival of the Komitadjis
in Kavala and the arrest of the gov
ernOr, she proceeds:
"On the following day a man hunt
or, more properly speaking, Turk
hunt, began. People who had commit
ted no other crime than that they were
Islamites, and these the best situated
in the city, were taken prisoners and
executed without even a pretense of a
trial in the most cruel manner.
"At midnight prisoners were awaken
ed, bound together while half naked in
twos and threes and then wounded in
the abdomen between the ribs and in
other parts Of the body with bayonets.
The murderers then reversed their ri
f1es and beat them to death with the
butt ends of guns like mad dogs. Age
or rank was no reason for mercy. On
the first night thirty-nine were tortured
to death, ON the second fifteen, on the
third eight and on the following night
thirty, until 115 were killed in Kavala
alone.

Now you may do what you like to the

enough for the soldiers. The brutal
wretches murdered 100 Turks in

AVIATOR'S SICKNESS.
Sensations That Come With Flights
Into High Attitudes.

Mountain climbers are subject to
what is called "the mountain sick
ness" due to the rarefaction of the air
and the muscular work done by climb
ers. Then there is the balloon disease,
with analogous symptoms, but which
does not appear except at very high
attitudes.
Newer than either of these is aero
plane or aviator's sickness. Its effects
nre due to the rapidity with which the
maximum height Is reached and the
still greater speed at the descent, in
volving the passing from a low air
pressure to a higher one. Aeroplanes
sometimes reach attitudes Of 10000
feet in an hour, and here the effects
on the ear. such as humming or crack
ing noise, are about the same as in a
balloon, but the effect on the respitra-
tory organs is different The pilot is
sooner out of breath and he feels a
special kind of uneasiness.
During the descent the heart beats
are Of greater amplitude, but without
accelerating. A quick descent In a
sailing flight at a speed Of 1000 or
1,200 feet minute or even more
since Morane descended at Havre from
5000 feet in six minutes-cnuses feel
ing of special kind or uneasiness, ac-
companied with humming in the ears.
Burning in the face is also felt and
a severe headache; also great tendency
to sleep. The movements Of the body
are sluggish and unskillful. These
symptoms continue for some time after
the landing, and the tension in the
arteries is noticed to be higher than
the normal.-Chicago News.

USES DYNAMITE FOR SUICIDE.
Workman Shoots and Stabs Self, Then
Takes Explosive,

A recent suicide of an extraordinary
character was committed at Epernay,
France, by Gaetan Valencin, a work
man, aged twenty six, who had been
disappointed in love.
Valencin first placed dynamite car
fridge on his breast and caused it to
explode. He was frightfully burned,
but not mortally hurt.
He then stabbed himself twice seri-
ously over the heart. He was still
able to walk and, blood stained, went
to the farmyard pump and washed him.
self.
He then went back to the house and
changed his clothing, afterward say
ing to some neighbors who had rushed
in, 81 have started to kill myself and
now 1 am going to finish"
He thereupon placed another dyna-
mite cartridge in his mouth, lighted the
fuse and waited for the explosion,
which tore his head into fragments.

Vacations In German Banks.

AS an inducement for its clerks to
lake their vacations in the winter in
stead of during the usual vacation sea
son the Imperial Bank Of Germany is
offering its clerks extra time off If they
take their outings between Sept. Is and
May l. The bank finds it necessary to
employ hundreds Of extra clerks in the
summer months to take the places OF
those who are on vacation and believes
that if the outings are spread over the

WINNING A HIGH JUMP.
Psychological Aspects of One of Our
Victories at Stockholm.

Victories at stockholm.
Americas victory in the high jump
at Stockholm was especially interesting
because of its psychology. AS James E
Sullivan tells the story in Outing, the
stars of the American team one by one
dropped out until, when the bar was
moved to a height of six feet four
inches, only Richards, youth from
Utah, and Licsche of Germany were
left. The German had cleared the bar
on his first effort every time and looked
to be the winner.
At this stage Richards had the first
jump Everybody thought he would
take a great deal of time and care, as
he had been compelled to make two or
three tries before succeeding at every
preceding height. To everybody's sur
prise "he dlsdained all preparation,
skipped up to the bar with an easy
run and hoped over 1t with a full two
inches to spare"
Instantly Licsche became intensely
excited. He made his preparations
nervously. went up to the bar and
missed. A second time he tried and
missed again. Richards. however, in
common with everybody else, expected
him to get over on his third attempt
and was running about to keep his legs
supple.
Just as the German was ready for his
final effort a pistol was fired for the
start of a race. This so disconnected
him that he waited until the race was
over. Then he got ready again. This
time the band began to play, and once
more he refused to jump. After nine
minutes of this series of delays one oe
the Swedish officials stepped up and
asked him to hurry. This was the last
straw. In another minute Licsche ran
at the bar and made botch of his only
remaining try.

The HIGHEST Railway,

For thirty-nine years the highest rail
way in the world was the Oroya line In
Peru. which at one place reaches an al.
titude of 1884 meters above sea level.
Passengers who wish to avoid the risk
of mountain sickness in its most ag-
gravated form have to make two or
three stops of a day or two on the way
up. Since July this line has taken Sec
Ond place, as the new Bolivian railway
which connects Potosi with Rio Mulati
reaches an altitude Of 1880 meters. 1t
is not considered likely that this rec
ord will ever be surpassed unless Tibet
is opened to civilization.

He Waited Until Tomorrow.

Kansas City furnished the other day
one of "life's little ironies" that might
have interested even Mr.. Hardy, the
novelist. A business man made a
memorandum saying that he was to
notify a certain young woman from
Illinois to report for work as his
stenographer. He allowed the matter
to go over until the next day. In the
morning papers OF the next day he
read of the girls suicide. She had
been looking for work for a month
without success.-Kahsas City Star.

Spun Glass silk.

The advantage Of being uninham

destructible by acids or alcohol is
claimed for a new kind OF artificial
silk which Is at base spun glass-spun
at one-eighteenth OF a hairs diameter.
This almost imperceptfble filament, to
which the addition Of different ehemi-
