President Wilson Is De

Comment of Diplomats.

Washington. D. ., Sept. ga Rustem
Bey. the Turkish ambassador, has in
formed president Wilson that he does
not alter the views he recently ex-
pressed in a published interview and
viii leave the United States within a
fortnight.
The ambassador refused to discuss
his action further than TO say he had
asked his government for leave Of alb
seucc, which he was certain would be
granted, ard that he would leave for
CcusranrinOple within ten days
The announcement Of the withdrawal
OF the Turkish ambassador, though not
unexpected, caused a profound senSa-
ton in diplomatic circles
Coming close on another diplomatic
interview yesterday, Of which the au-
ministratiOn at once took cCgnlzance.
that Of baron Won SchOeE, Of the Ger
man embassy. dwelling on the posi-
bility Of war between the United States
and Japan, It was interpreted as an
indication OF president Wilson's deter
minatiOn to silence comment by foreign
diplomatists considered dangerous TO
the neutrality Of this country. II was
understood that the Administrations
would let Il be known that the presi-
dent would decline TO receive diplo-
matists who make comments which he
considers obnoxious
The Turkish ambassadors interview
was considered particularly objection
tary Bryan, at the presidents direc-
ton asked the ambassador to refrain
from such expressions.
The Turkish ambassador in the in
terview had said that the sending OF
American warships to Turkey in con-
EectiOn with the report Of uprisings
against Christians would lead to a
serious situation At the same time
he said that while massacres had pre-
viOusly occurred in Turkey, they were
the same acts as any people might
commit under prOvocatiOn- He cited
the lynchings Of negroes and the wa
ter cures in the Philippines as illus
trations. reminding the American peO-
pie Of those incidents.
The ambassador later explained per
sonally and then wrote at length Then
the president directed Mr.. Bryan 20
say On answer that the statements
made by the ambassador were objec-
tioEable TO the American government
and but for the fact that a tense stu
alton existed in Turkey, which he did
not desire TO agEraVate, the diplomatic
imnroprietv committed by the ambas-
Bador might otherwise be a subject
for discussion with the Ottoman gov
eminent The president asked whether,
in view of the situation. the ambassa-
dor wished to make any expression
The Turkish envoy replied that he did
not wish to alter his view in any way
and that he would leave in fort

WEIGHT OF AIR.
Ono Cubic Foot of Atmosphere Weighs

One Cubic Foot of Atmosphere Weighs
 More Than an Ounce.
 The common belief that air weighs nothing or almost nothing, belief which has given rise to the simile flight as air." needs correction.
 A toy balloon filled with a cubic foot of air weighs 564 grains more than the same balloon collapsed. This shows that the weight of cubic foot of air is 564 grains. which is good deal more than an ounce. Accordingly q small room Q5 by 15 by 1O contain ing 2,25O cubic feet of air would weigh 2,9OO ounces. CT 1887 pounds avoirdu- pois, as much as large man. Could you lift room full of air?
 The air in an automobile tire under pressure of 150 pounds a square inch weighs proportionally ten times as much, while air under the pressure of fifty atmospheres weighs fifty times as much as an equal volume of ordinary air. When air is liquefied it's volume is reduced to one siXtcen-hundredtll normal. so that the liquid is 1,G0O times as heavy as gaseous air. or about as heavy as water.-St. Louis Post Dis patch.

THE CHANGING TIDES.
Causes That Contribute to the Rise and Fall of the Ocean.

 and Fall of the Ocean. Many people regard the rise and fall of the ocean as profound and baff1ing mystery.
 The mystery really is not very hard to understand. As we all know, the surface of the ocean rises and falls twice ill every lunar day, this rise ap- bearing along a coast to be horizon tai motion-always ebbing or flowing. Now, the lunar day consists of about twenty five hours. Thus, of course, the "time" of the tides varies each day. The tides, moreover, do not always rise to the same height. Every fortnight, with the new and full moon, they rise very much higher than at other times. These high tides are called 'spring" tides, the alternating low tides being termed "neap." When the moon is nearest to the earth the rise and fall of the ocean are markedly increased. Thus the spring tides are greatest at the equinoxes-i. e.. at the end of March and the end of September. Yes, you say, but what has the moon to do with it at all? Surely it is the sun which attracts the earth.
 That is so. But, although the suns attraction on the earth is far greater than the moons, the moon is so very much nearer to the earth that the diff ference between its attraction at the center and on the surface is three times as great as the suns. And it Is this difference which causes tides London Answers.

BANKUTU CANNIBALS.
A Belgian kongo Savage Tribe That Cannot Be Subduad.

S6nnOt o0 Oupuu0Os
 The cannfbal Bankutus of Belgian Kongo make a practice of removing the upper incisors. Their dress con- sists of Q plaited skirt, which does not quite meet on the right thigh. But the women of the south wear hide girdle with deep fringe of palm fiber string. Among this tribe the slaves are com pelled to wear a special dress, which is, in fact, the ordinary costume of the Akela, to which tribe most of them belong. The Bankutus are great canni- bals as far as the male members of the tribe are concerned, and the vic- tins are always slaves. In fact, all slaves are ultimately eaten, since 1t is believed that if slave were buried his ghost would kill his master.
 Their chief weapon is the bow, poison being used on the arrows. Shields are now obsolete. One of their most inter- esting points is their use of conven- tional throwing knife as currency. The Bankutus are almost the only tribe of this region who have been successful in resisting the advance of the white man. This fact is due to their skill in forest warfare. The way leading to their village is defended by poisoned spikes hidden by leaves. They use bows and arrows set like traps in the form of primitive spring guns and are quite ready if white man is expected to bait such traps with a live baby, being sure that the European will be unable to resist the temptation to pick up an apparently abandoned child. The poison they use is absolutely deadly.

PICTURESQUE ICE FIELDS.
Scenic Beauties of Uncle Sam's Glacier
 National Park.

Scenic Beauties of Uncle Sam's Glacier
 National Park.
 That the ice fields of Glacier Nation al park present some of the best ex- amples of active glaciers now found in the United States, is statement made by w. c. Alden in a government pam phlet. "They have splendid setting in magnificent alpine scenery" says MT. Alden, unsurpassed in grandeur anywhere. Hidden away in the reces- ses of the mighty mountain ranges, these rare and wonderful features form a climax to many of the interesting trips open to the tourist.
 There are in the park about ninety small glaciers, ranging in size from Blackfeet glacier, with it's three square miles of ice, down to masses but few acres in extent, yet exhibiting the char acteristics of true glaciers.
 After examining these features one can easily picture to himself as he looks down the valleys the great rivers of ice which in ages past cascaded from the cliffs below the upper cirques. converged as tributaries from the many branch valleys and united in great trunk glaciers. In imagination he can see these great glaciers, many hun dreds of feet in depth, filling the great mountain valleys from side to side and deploying thence upon the bordering plains. He seems to see these mighty engines plucking away the rock ribs of hn Yof cnnnfhfnO Or1ndlnO and polishing the Irregularities and sweeping away the debris to be spread on the plains below. These glaciers developed and extended three times and, after each development, the con- gealed masses melted away on the re- turn of milder climatic conditions, un- til at length only the small cliff gla- ciers of the present day are left lurking in the protected recesses at the heads of the capacious valleys.
 Many of the rock walled amphithe- aters are no longer occupied by ice, but from all there issues streams fed by the melting snow or ice. These plunge over the cliffs in beautiful, foaming cascades and rush on down the moun- tain gorges. The melting glaciers left many inclosed basins, large and small, and in these the waters rest awhile and mirror in their crystal depths the dark green of the surrounding forests, the rich colors of the rugged mountain walls and the deep blue of the cloud fecked sky. On, again, from lake to lake, the waters flow and finally start down their long courses to the sea to merge at length with the chill waters of Hudson bay, the balmy tides of the Gulf of Mexico or the rolling pillows of the Pacific"
