BAGTCHE TUNNEL HAS

lRv Associated Press. J

Constantinople, July 1.-THE
announcement that the two drives
of the Bagtche Tunnel met today
marks the practical completion OF
the toughest piece of work on the
famous Bagdad Railway, and is an
other instance of the work that
German engineers are carrying out
for the economic development OF
Turkey. The tunnel is cut through
solid granite of such a hard charac-
ter, that about 1900 steel drills
were used up daily in each of the
two headings. On the southeast
side. it was necessary to transport
the huge boilers for the air-con-
densers in sections, with dozens of
oxen to draw each load over the
primitive mountain roads; and on
the other side a narrow-gauge rail-
wav some twenty miles long, with
many curves and switchbacks, had

TO CONFISCATE
WHEAT CROP
(By Associated Press.)

Rome, July 15-The Leonardo da
Vinci, of whom the world thinks
only las great painter, is now set
forth in the Italian papers as
great prophet Of what might come
to pass in warfare. In the latter
part of the fifteenth century his
versatile genius included skill as a
scientist, engineer, mechanician and
architect, as well as a painter and
musician, and his Imagination led
TO the design of many remarkable
implements of war, among which
was a steam gun which was run by
boiling water. In this invention,
incidentally, 1t is said he antici-
pated the steam engine.
In certain of his works he told
of several forms of bombarding en-
gines. one of which threw minute
PARTICLES. like a storm of hail, pro-
ducing quantities of dense smoke to
frighten the enemy. Among his pa
pers are found what may be called
the ancestors Of the terrible can
non for throwing burning liquid at
great distance, which the Krupp
and Essen factories are said to have
turned out. There will issue from
the EARTH" he wrote, that which.
with frightful sounds, will deafen
the surrounding and with its
breath will kill men and ruin cities
and fortresses." He suggested the
use of a powder which would stun
and suffocate the enemy, and at the
same suggested remedy. "To send
poison In powder" he said, "be
careful to have a wind which will
not send the powder upon yourself,
or have the nose and mouth cover
ed by thin wet cloth, so that the
powder cannot pass"
He left sketches of mortars and
other heavy engines of war which
suggest the modern heavy and
quick-firing guns. and seemed even
to have imagined submarine and
aeroplane. OF the former, he wrote,
according to the quotations given
in the Italian papers, 81 do not pub
lish or devulge my way of staying
under water because of the bad na-
ture of men, who would use it for
assassination under the sea, by
ripping open the bottoms Of ships"

ALFALFA PAYING CROP
IN FLORIDA

Gainesville, July 16-J. l.. Shaw,
one of the county's prosperous farm
ers who lives near Alachua, spent
Monday in Gainesville, and when
asked about the condition of crops
took occasion to tell of the success
he had had with growing alfalfa
this year.
On a small plot of ground, about
two acres and a half, Mr.. Shaw mas
made three cuttings since May 10,
and has averaged two and half
tons to the acre from this first eX-
pertinent. The hay from this plant
is quoted at S27.00 per ton, SO the
showing made so far is satisfactory
But Mr.. Shaw will get three or more
cuttings off of the crop before frosts
come late in the fall. He Is Watch-
ing the results with an idea OF TAX
ing M the culture on a larger scale
next year.

PRESIDENT POINCARE
HAS A DOUBLE

Paris, July l6-President Poincare
has not so many doubles as has ex-
President Fallieres, but he has one
that is more often taken for him.
His position, however, is more ex-
posed, for he is the presidents own
secretary, Felix Decori. He has
the same height as the president,
his hair is almost as thin and he
wears beard pointed in the same
style.
Those who are granted an audi
ence by the president are obliged
first to go through the apartments
of the military staff, then the Of
flee of the civilian secretary, before
reaching the presidents apart
ments. The door-keeper that in
PRODUCES them announces their
names in each room they pass
through, formalty that disturbs
those who are received for the first
time, and by the time they arrive In
a quiet room not filled with military
uniforms they are relieved at the
sight of man in civilian dress, be-
hind desk covered with docu-
ments, and whom they easily mis-
take for the president if they have
never been presented before.
Monsieur Decari has acquired a
most gracious knack of correcting
their error and putting them at their
ease.
When the president makes an Off
cial visit to some public institution
or inaugurates an exposition or
something of that sort, he generally
goes in motor car with General
Duparge. His civilian secretary,
, Monsieur Decori, follows with an
other military attache of the Elysee,
in another car.
The full ceremonial requires
that the civilian secretary's car shall
pass that of the president two hum
dred yards before the arrival so as
to be present when the president
appears before the authorities dele
gated to receive him. Those who
are not familiar with this ceremOn-
ial inevitably mistake the first car
for that of the president and re-
ceive the secretary with presiden-
! tial honors.
The secretary has adopted a
stereotyped form for use in reply to
| the official greetings:
"You will tell all that to the
| president presently"
