STATE ITEMS OF lh. TEREST CONDENSED.

September opens with more build- ing prospects in Bisbee than at any previous time in the pact seysn years. h four new oniid;ngs to be erected there is the certainty of invest tment of $50 LOO or more. with the possibility that the structure will run to $75 900 before they are finished.
 Political disagreements between Mexican residents iu Bisbee have led to con siderable disorders in their quarters. The police were called to quell . riot which developed in sn isolsied house where meetings have been held by Huer.s sympsthisers. The trouble was due to . raid made on the place by half dozen "consti- tutionalists."
 Mose Drachman, SY BA,kley and H W Zipi have incorporated the Tsnque Verde ranch as the Ianque Verde Ranch company, with . capi- tsli,ation oi $lO0,OOO. The shares are of . par value of one dollar each. The ranch is situated northeast of Tucson. h addition to being plant. ed to sl alfs, it is to bs the site for drilling for oil by J 5 Stryker and his sssocistee.

New Light on Nelson.

Two interesting letters from Nelson
to Lady Hamilton were made public
for the first time the other day by
Miss Anne Miles, of 81 Priory Road,
Hampstead, London. who has the orig
inals in her possession.
The first letter. dated August Is.
1898, twelve days after the battle of
the Nile, was written at a time when
Nelson was only slightly acquainted
with Lady Hamilton. Il am penetrated

The second letter. addressed from
Malta two months after he had won
the battle of the Nile, was written
when Nelson was personally taking
part in the blockade of Malta, then occu-
pied by the French.
In it Nelson asks for moro ships

MODERN INVENTIONS
SUB WA Us
b, GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash." !"

a subway is an honest way of getting
ahead by underground methods.
When a city becomes so large that
people cannot cross the streets without
wearing tenders and tail lights, it be-
gins to build subways. New York City
now has a large Number of two and
three-story streets.
This enables the people to travel in
the damp subcellars of a great city while
the horses and automobiles enjoy the
bright pure air above without contrib
uting to these qualities in any degree.
When a subway is completed large
quantities of street cars are imprisoned
in il for life and stations are built from
which passengers may enter the cars If
they keep in good training.
A subway train does not have to stop
for teams, pedestrians or cows on the
track. 1t runs forty miles an hour and
every time it crashes over a rail joint
the noise echoes against the concrete side
of the subway. This echo rebounds until
1t coIIides with itself in the middle and
breaks into a million fragments, each one
of which reverberates.
When a subway train is hurryinG a
little a passenger could shoot another
passenger with "A gattling gun and keep
the affair an entire secret

train can carry a passenger from one end
of Manhattan TO the other while he is

The Tokyo Riots.

Either the loyalty or discipline OF
the Japanese people have been exag-
gerated. or el~e the population Of
Tokyo is not typical of Japan. The
frequent recurrence Of rioting in the
young AIikado's capital betrays no in
cIlnation on the part Of a considerable
number OF his subjects to accept with
out protest whatever governmental
policy IS imposed upon them. 1t is
who would have been rash enough to
predict It fifty years ago?-a changing
Japan, with Parliament defying the
Elder Statesmen" and women ha-
ranguing the crowds.
Japan, from mcdiacval nation, is
becoming a modern power. The coun-
try is torn between imperialistic
dreams and growing need for peace
and retrcnchment. Those thoroughly
acquainted with the present conditions
in Japan declare that the nations OF

Weight for Measurements.

A Tennessean has discovered a new
way TO measure large areas of land. He
weighs it-rather, he weighs his map and
computes the measurements from the
scale records. Louis c. Mathey. OF Spot,
Tenn, writes to Engineering News that
he has for thirty-four years been obtain
ing land areas by the simple process of
accurately plotting the survey to scale
on good paper, then cutting away the
paper outside of the boundary with
sharp knife and weighing the folded
plot of the tract on a chemists or
jewelers. scale accurately to 1-6I grain.
He sends a sample map of a tract of
1861 acres, plotted on a scale of eighty
rods TO the inch on sheet of ISx24-inch
paper, which weighed p S-32 grains. Engi-
neering News comments: While the
plan might serve as a rough check on
computations, the limit of error In plot
ting and trimming. as well as I'm weigh
ing, would make the scheme only ap-
plicable where land is Of very low value"

For the first time a leading theater.
during its regular season, offered as a

tainment drama presented by players
not actually on the stage, but made visi-

is important to recognize that this fact
by no means implies a slump to an in
terior standard. Rather il points to the
portentous truth that the picture drama
has certain immense and potent ad-
vantages that Offset its deficiencies and
tend to put 1t on an even plane with the
theater OF painted background and actors
present in the flesh.
No skill OF stage carpentry and light

famous Sienkiewitz novel or Roman life

need not listen to English from the
mouths OF people who you know perfectly
well are speaking Latin.
The crowds, the faithful classic cos

spect to their opinion IN reference tc
her western frontier in Europe. Finan-
cial pressure may strangle opposition
but it may take considerable time to
make the desired impression on the
Ottoman government, especially as a
large number of the Turkish people
are ready to sacrifice much for the
sake of keeping the army on the banks
of the Martha.
There will be no armed interven-
ton by the powers, and it seems I'M
likely now that any one of them will
intervene to make the sublime porte
observe her treaty obligations. Aus
tria-Hungary sees no hope of hurting
Servia by giving Bulgaria armed sup
port against Turkey. Germany is
anxious to have a renewal of settled
conditions in Asia Minor, so that her
fnanciers may proceed with railway
development. France will be pleased
with any arrangement that prevents a
renewal of war. Italy is content with
having saved Albania from partition,
and wishes to devote all her attention
to the establishment of her authority
in TripolL Great Britain has repudi-
ated her old policy of supporting
Turkey, but she cannot safely proceed
to the other extreme in view of the
warnings, such as the following rcso-
luton of a great Moslem meeting in
Calcutta, as reported in the Pail Mali
Gazette:
This meeting heartily congratulates
the Sultan and the Turkish nation on
the brilliant march Of Enver Bey and
the recapture of Adrianople, and in
view OF the rumors of the coercion of
Turkey and the threat of Mr.. Asquith
this meeting trusts that Great Britain
will respect not only her declaration OF
neutrality, the prime minister's state
ment guaranteeing the fruits of victory
TO the victor. but also the feelings and
sentiments OF his majesty's Indian
Moslem subjects by refraining from
all transactions of an unfriendly char
acter likely TO diminish silently the
capital OF good will and LOYALTY which
now happily exists among Indian Mo
hammcdanS.
But what Of Russia, the traditional
protector Of Bulgaria? When the
Turkish army advanced to recover
Adrianoplc the Gar ordered his war
ships from the Bosphorus into the
EuNine, as if to hint that they might
soon return in a less peaceful manner.
When Adrianople was rcoccupied the
Russian Foreign Minister told the
Turkish Ambassador at St. Peters
burg that 1t might become necessary
for Russia to break off diplomatic re-
lations. Still, though provoked and
even aggrieved over Turkeys ag-
gre sion. she docs not act-as vet.
There may be no truth in the Vienna
report that the Gar has said to the |
president OF the Douma: For a fresh ,
adventure in the Balkans | will not /
sacrifice single soldicr;' but there
may be something in the statement
that Russia has decided to take no
further action in the Adrianople ques-
ton If Turkey limits her advance to !
the east side OF the Martha River. |
Still there ma be room to suspect
l deep diplomatic move.

Large Eggs from Denmark.

Prom the New York Press
The French Chamber of Commerce In
London has recently made an examina-
ton OF the egg market and ascertained
that the largest eggs sold there come
from Denmark. The Danish eggs are the
most popular as well as the heaviest.
The great majority Of them weigh more
than 2k ounces. The average American
egg has been found to weigh %
ounces. The lightest Danish eggs weigh
as much as the heaviest French eggs.
This investigation classified the eggs as
to country only. Some years ago obser-
vations were taken as to breed of hens.
Records were made of the weight of eggs
that several hens of well-known breeds
laid during a period of six months. 1t
was found thai the largest eggs were
produced by light Brahmas, the average
weight being is ounces. PulIets' eggs
did not exceed 2 ounces in weight.
