BULGARIA WANTS PEACE
APPEAL TO POWERS.
Plan to Drive a Wedge Between
the Greek and Servian
Armies Fails.

London, July 10.-The end of a
tortnight's desperate fighting in the
Balkans finds Bulgaria forced to an
peal TO the powers to arrange peace.
The Bulgarian plan to drive a wedge
between the Greek and Seryian
armies in the neighborhood of Cue
vghef has completely failed. The
last reports Of the fighting received
from Athens tonight show that the
Servians and Greeks at this point
are combining their forces while the
Roumanian army is beginning an in
Vasion of Bulgaria. The latter fact
doubtless was the deciding factor i'm
the Bulgarian appeal to the powers.
How far Bulgaria's defeat is due
to dissensions in high military quar-
ters, which resulted in the resigna-
tion of General Savoff and how far
the fact that the Bulgarian troops.
which bore the brunt OF the hard
hghtfng in the last campaign, were
more exhausted than the Greek and
Servian forces, will probably never
be known.
STAND OF FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
Nothing can be predicted at the
moment as to how events will shape
themselves, the Roumanian invasion
OF Bulgaria having brought an en-
tirely new factor into the problem.
Russia and France are devoting
their efforts to persuading the allies
to adopt a moderate attitude in or
der to facilitate a peaceful settle
ment. The Servian Premier is quot
ed in The Vienna Freie Presse as de-
claring that the war has completely
set aside all treaties of alliance and
that peace must now be negotiated
on an entirely new basis.

Washington, July 1O.-Wbat vir-
tually is an ultimatum in the militia
controversy was served on Governor

tabi1shment and the citizens soldiery
has been severed.

qulrements are observed, co-opera-

OF the war department, almost SIM
ultaneously warned Adjutant Cen
eral Moore of South Carolina. that
the expenditure of any funds on ac-
count of the federal government at
the coming state encampment would
be made at the latter's risk.
The action of the war department
Followed an interchange of sham
letters In which Governor Blease
declared he would be glad to be rid
or federal aid or espionage. There
are thirty companies in the state

cuoist idea some time ago. The result
was an outlandish effect which eclips-
ed the most battling OF Sam Lloyd's
puzzles. The cubists declared that
they sought 70 express themselves and
their artistic emotions by means Of
cubes and color combinations beside
which crimson sunsets on purple noun
tains seen through a bilious haze are
tame and commonplace to the nth de-
gree.
This same idea has been grated in
a modified but still exuberant form
On the dress-makers' art. The result
is the cubist gown. In its most radi-
cal type 1t is a creation of perfect
squares OF color combinations hither-
to not even contemplated, much less
attempted. These cubes are painted
on the cloth, and the cut of the gar
ment continues the square idea.
In this extreme type the skirt is in
the shape of an obelisk and the waist,
with a square yoke, resembles an in
verted pyramid. The idea, 1t is said,
will be extended to the stockings and
shoes. The former will be four-sided,
while the latter Will be possessed OF
square toes and square heels. A hat
similar to the students mortar
board" will top of the startling crea-
ton.
The cloth for a dress OF this kind
may be imported from Italy. The
squares on 1t are hand-painted.
In the so-called conservative pat
terms cubist lines are limited to. the
patterns Of the weave and the marking
Of the goods.
Modistes do not expect the extreme
type TO become popular, but feel sure
that the demand for the cubical effect
will be reflected in many of the spring
gowns.
The Bulgarian colors lend them
selves readily to the new gown Futur-
list satin already is on the market to
express the cubists' ideas in feminine
dress.

GOLD NUGGETS.

There Is q Curious Resemblance Be.
tween Them and Meteorites.
How do nuggets OF gold originate?
Sometimes a mass Of the precious met
al worth thousand dollars OF more ia
found. BY what process was 50 much
gold cOmpacted into lump2
An attempt was made not long ago
TO answer this question. An investiga-
tor in Australia cut and sliced and
polished gold nuggets with the sole
purpose Of finding out just what is
their structure The first thing be dis
covered was that there is one curious
point Of resemblance between gold
nuggets and meteorites. Both, when
polished and etched with chlorine wa
ter, exhibit a crystalline structure In
the case Of meieorites the lines thus
exhibited on the etched surface are
called Widmannstattiap figures. and
their presence is said to be one Of the
most iDvariable characteristics Of those
metallic bodies that fall from the sky
TO the earth.
But It is not meant TO be implied that
RoId nuggets nave FALLEN from the sky
because they exhibit crystalline struc.
ture recalling that Of meteorites. The
resemblance is apparently only super.
6cial, and the crystals OF the nuggets
differ in form from those of the me
teorites-
Another curious fact is that when a
nugget is heated in Bunsen fame ex.
plosions take place on its surface Bills
tiers are formed which continue to
swell until they burst with a sharp re-
port and bits Of gold are violently scat
