All the low places in Evansville are

sewer outlets. In the residence dis

sting curved over their backs and their
claws held aloft the very picture of
aggressive warfare. Here they stretch
themselves in the broling sun and
await their prey. These are the small,
beautiful honeybirds that dart from
flower to flower and take the place Of
the humming birds of the east. AS
one approaches the scorpion seems to
shrink into the stone until it becomes
almost imperceptible. Suddenly the
great insect will raise its claws and
dart at it's beautiful victim. which in

Curious Niqht Wells.

A curious form of water hole is found
in the desert of Western Australia
dry by day. but yielding an abundant
supply of water by night. The flow OF
water is preceded by hissings and
sounds of rushing air. The phenome
non is discussed by DR.. Malcolm Mac
laren, who has located and examined
one of these wells. He found that the
water supply occurred in long. mar
row trench. at the bottom of which
was a thin plate of gneiss. separated
by cavity from the main rock mass
beneath. Apparently the heat OF the
day causes this plate to expand in the
form of Il. depression. into which the
water retreats When if cools and con-

At Constantinople Monday the Turk
ish foreign minister, Noradunghian
Effendi, submitted to the council of
ministers draft of the reply to the
note of the powers. 1t is understood
that it insists upon the retention of
Adrianople for the following rea-
sons:
First-Because the Bulgarian inhab-
itants are in the minority in Adrian
ople, not only in comparison with
Moslems but as compared with other
Christians
Second-Because of the splendid de-
Tense of the garrison.
Third-The loss of Adrianople, con-
tanning the temples of Caliphs, would
ruin the prestige of Islam.
Fourth-The loss of Adrianople,
which is the gate of Constantinople,
would endanger the existence of the
empire.
Asks for "New Understanding"
The porte therefore prays," contin-
ues the reply, that the powers take
consideration of the vital necessities
of the empire and make representa-
tons to the Balkan states with a view
of peace. Turkey sincerely desires
to find a common ground of under
standing and will even consent to
fresh sacrifices"
Regarding the Aegean islands, the
reply says Turkey refuses to aban-
don the islands near her coast, but is
ready to continue pour parlers respect
ing the distant islands.
Noradunghian Effendi has instruct
ed the Ottoman ambassadors abroad
again to sound the powers with regard
to Adrianople.
The superior council of war has
handed the council of ministers a re-
port on the military situation.
Turkeys decision will lead, prob
ably, to the resumption of hostilities
within a week.

The Minister.

If the Christian religion is what
we believe it to be and the story of
the Master and His Ministry is, as
we have been taught, the only true
conception or life by which uations
must work out their destinies and
individuals must be saved, then the
mantle of the ministry confers upon
the man who bears it the greatest
mission mortal man can serve. There
are men in the ministry whose lives
are a benediction, whose service and
sacrifice for the Masters sake are
sermons in themselves, more appeal
ing than were ever delivered from
the pulpit or spread upon the printed
page-and these men are the strength
of the church and the living proof Of
the Gospel they preach.-Spartan
burg Herald.
