cloak. which is drawn aside to reveal
a RED g1rdle, much the hue of the tur-
pan. Some wear peculiar green tur-
ban, signifying that they have been to
Mecca.
Before departure for Mecca there
are extensive rites; a man must pay
all debts, divorce his wives, and re-
ce1ve a certificate of good standing
from his mosque. On returning from
the pilgrimage his wives, as rule,
remarry him and he receives the hon.
orary title Of Hadji for life. Chris
tlan woman, unveiled all, are met,
wearing European attire, save for a
blue Golf on the head. Women of the
peasant class affect gay skirts Of red,
highly embroidered, white waist
and much decorated jerkin, together
with bracelets and braids, and, along
the leg, queer leather strappings.
The bazars are not numerous, but
are most interesting. In some the
woolbeaters still ply their primitive
bow. In others, public ovens turn out
loaves for the multitude. Some
handle candy, others are cafes.
Monastir is possessed of many
mosques, and next to them are the
cemeteries, sadly neglected and over
run with pariah dogs. Some Of the
graves are guarded by iron ratings.
Most Of them have a circular head
stone and footstone, covered with
Arabic inscriptions, or an oblong
wooden tablet, painted in yellow and
blue.
Many Greek Christians are encoun-
tered. in ordinary European dress,
save for a fez, worn somewhat lower
on the head than the Turk wears 1t
and having down the rear from the
center of the crown a bunch of blue
cording. Street fountains, the prime
source of water supply. are found
everywhere.
Again and again trains of pack
mules go by, great bundles upon their
backs and unwieldy bison, hitched to
wagons, add to the general din.
Mighty mountains, long since defor
ested, but we'll titled. affording secure
harborage for the ubiquitous brigand
encompass the city on every side. Or
the outskirts there are still other
mosques A bugle sounds, too. from
q huge barracks. Children come by
all Of them smoking. Peddlers are
crying their wares outside the haren
walls.
Police duties are performed by sol
diers and it is wise to refrain from
note taking or photography while any
of them are in the vicinity. Other
wise, it means an unwelcome stay in
the crowded city prison until con
sulate Identification and explanation
procures release.

TURKS COUNCIL
BOWS TO FATE
Advice Of Powers Accepted and
War Is Ended.
Adrianople Coded to BuIgaria-Ae-
gean Islands Disposed of By
Decision of Powers.

Constantinople - Turkey has sub
mitted to the will of the powers. The
Grand Council of the Ottoman EN-
pire decided in favor of accepting the
proposals of Europe for peace settle
ment between Turkey and the Balkan
allies.
AS officially announced, the Grand
Council approved the governments
point of view, declared its confidence
in the sentiments of equity voiced by
the great powers and expressed the
wish to see the promises and proposed
assistance effectively realized.
The question submitted by the Turk
ish government to the Grand Council
was: "Should the recommendations
contained in the note of the European
powers be accepted or rejected?"
The government frankly confessed
itself in favor of agreeing to the sug-
gestion made by the powers.
The Marquis Johan de Pellavicini,
Austro-Hungarian ambassador and
dean of the diplomatic corps at Con-
stantinople, has received note in
Which, Tie OCCOman government agrees
to the proposals embodied in the joint
note with regard to the cession of the
fortress of Adrianople and the future
disposition of the Aegean islands and
places itself in the hands of the pow
ers. The question of indemnity is
left open.
The joint note Of the powers adj
vised Turkey to cede Adrianople to the
allies and to leave the fate of the
Aegean islands to the powers for fu-
ture determination. In return, the
powers promised their benevolent sup
port as long as Turkey deferred to
their counsel.
The note of the powers was read at
an audience given by the Sultan, after.
which Nazim Pasha, the minister of
war, explained the military situation.
The minister of finance then read re-
port on the financial situation and the
minister of foreign affairs made
statement on the foreign situation.
At the conclusion of these state
ments the council registered it's decis-
| ion.

TOMAKE INVISIBLE AIRSHIPS
New Material for Planes Is OBJ
tanned By Government.

Washington, D. C.-The invisible
aerOpane is now possibility, owing
to new material discovered by gov
eminent aviation officers. This ma
terial is like transparent celluloid, and
much like the backing now used for
Photographic films. 1t is non-infam-
mabe, flexible and tough. It can be
made in sheets of any thickness and
size, and the War department has al
ready ordered several gallons more of
1t for experimental purposes.
It's one Of the features of the ma
terlal that it comes by the gallon rath-
er than the square foot, and can be
nodded into any form of plane-cover-
ing without stretching the frame. 1t
has been tested for strength and
weight, and is both lighter and strong
er to the square foot that canvas. 1t
SaS smooth as glass, so that the ele-
nent OF friction, which is considerable
IN an aeroplane, is reduced to a negli-
glOe factor.
Inc engine, the aviator and the
frame OF the machine are still opaque,
as usual, but it has been found by ex-
pertinent that when 500 square feet OF
surface are made invisible the aero
pane When stood on edge is virtually
Invisible at 500 feet. This is much
.IOSef than an aeroplane will ever
Vperate under war conditions, and with
ululned motor the aeroplane with
wings OF the new material would be
HOI only unseen but unheard.

WILL START AERIAL FERRY
Enterprising Aviator Makes Money
On Passenger Route.


San Francisco = That aviation is
soon to be placed upon commercial
basis in San Francisco has been evil
denced by w. H. Buttner, fiscal agent
of the newly incorporated Aerial
Yacht company, who has just filed du-
plicate articles at the Office of County
Clerk Mulcrevy.
This company, which not only will
provide for the institution of aerial
navigation, but also plans to institute
hydro-aeroplane ferry service in the
near future between this city and bay
points, is the outgrowth of newly in
vented craft, designed by Silas Chris
Jefferson, of Vancouver, WASH, said
to be the last word in nauto-aerial eff
cheney.
In model his flying boat is similar to
the Curtis hydro-aeroplane, but many
Innovations which tend to the comfort
and safety of those on board have been
added.
1t is designed to carry two passen-
gers besides the pilot and will be lux
uriously finished in mahogany, with
deep upholstered seats not unlike those
of an automobile.
Instead of the usual pontoons, boat
has been provided, which can be in
stantly detached from the flying ap-
paratus, so that in case of accident
the boat can be driven through the
water under it's own power.
The hull is "a feet long and three
feet wide, with a floating capacity of
1000 pounds, divided into six alright
compartments The engine, which is
set in the boat, is Curtis 8O-horse
power model, and the power will be
transmitted to the propeller by chain.
The boat is entirely covered over, ex-
cepting by the cockpit, which is pro-
tected by a rising hood, affording pro-
lection from spray. The engine is
equipped with a self-starter and the
plane is provided with an electrical
lighting system. The exhaust from
the motor is so arranged as to heat the
seating space in case of cold weather.
Many prominent men have been TAX
en- on short flights by Christofferson,
and much interest has followed the ap.
pearance of the new craft.
Young Christofferson is making con-
siderable money taking passengers fol
short flights over the bay, for which
he charges large fee. A number Of
society women have braved the ele.
ments in this way and are daring theil
friends to follow their example.

PARCEL POST CHICKEN

nesday by parcel post from an interior
town in Nebraska. The package was
properly wrapped, directed and had "a

Chinese Loans Faltering,

New York-American members of
the Chinese six-power loan syndicate
were unable to confirm Pekin cables
saving negotiations with the Chinese
government have been abandoned be-
cause of the European money strin-

continental sources, however, were
generally to that effect. It was said
in reliable quarters that the French
bankers in the syndicate were among
the first to withdraw, basing their &C

Hipht-Hour Law Is Expensive.

Washington, D. C.-Statistics COM
piled, at the Navy department show
that the effect of the eight-hour law
passed by the last session of congress
has been an increased cost per ton for
battleship construction of $32. The
cost of eight battleships built prior to
the passage of the eight-hour law was
1888 ton displacement. Under the
new law the cost jumped to $215 per
ton. The eight-hour law is hindrance
to repairing of government vessels on
the Great Lakes, as the shipyards
there still work under the old schedule.
