To Guard Constantinople.

London, March A. Dispatches
from Athens say that the Turkish
fleet has been assigned to defend the
approaches at Niagra Roads. During
heavy fog the Turkish feet slipped

he saw the strength of the allies and
decided to precipitate a retreat. 1t
is believed that the Turks are. max

EDUCATED ILLUSTRATION
Better Understanding Gained From
Subject Where Pictures Explain
Main Features-Our Bible Offer.
IS PRODUCTION OF HIGH ART

Beginning with the "infant" class
in the public schools, the pupils are
taught by means of pictures. AS
they advance to higher grades illus
tratiOns are still used as "object les
sons" and even in the higher grades
the text books are illustrated for the
purpose of more clearly setting forth
the intended meanings. College and
university courses comprise books in
which the subject matter is made
plain by pictures, and all scientific
and technical work everywhere is ac-
curately demonstrated by diagrams
and drawings. Almost all of the
periodicals, including dailies, week.
lies and monthlfes are illustrated and
many books of fiction also use illus
irations which bring out particular
points in the text.
1t has been left to the publishers
OF the Bible to which The Pioneer is
distributing to illustrate this greatest
of all historical and educational
works. The publication of this Bible
was undertaken with full knowledge
of the fact that there were already
in existence a considerable variety
CT eminently satisfactory editions,
some of them possessing degree
OF merit that would seem to render
Improvement impossible. But all of
them, superb though they are, lack
one important feature, viz: Direct
and helpful illustrations. The New
illustrated Bible supplies this def
cheney. In it the other essentials of
perfection have been retained-the
Typography, mechanical execution,
-pronouncing features, marginal
references, colored maps, etc., being
unexcelled by any other edition;
while the hundreds of original text
illustrations give to it distinctive
character that entirely separates it
from all others.
This Bible is not a mere picture
:
book. 1t is high art production.
The 500 illustrations are from orig
inal paintings and drawings which
constitute wonderful gallery of art.
To this branch of the work were
called the greatest Of living artists,
and it is to their Intelligent concep-
ton of the work, and to their mas
terly skill in the portrayal of appro-
pirate scenes that the peculiar excel
lence Of this Bible is mainly due.
Every picture is a complete study in
itself. Events that have been imper-
fectly comprehended become invested
with the charm of living reality; and
places that have seemed far off are
made familiar, as though we our:
selves had trod the hills and valleys
with the prophets and disciples OF
old. This really superb edition has
an educational mission to perform
in Illuminating and vivifying thu
Bible, narrative and giving it, &:
. never before, a present, living, hui
man interest. F. -, - S.

TIMBER BILL IS DOWNEO.
United States Senate Kills Appropria-
ton Measure Creating Forest at
Red Lake Reservation.
ACTION IS APPROVED HERE

Much qualification was caused in
Bemidji and at the Red Lake Indian
reservation this afternoon when it
was learned that the Indian approprt-
alton bill amendment carrying with 1t
a clause authorizing the creation
of q forest at the agency, which would
embrace one of the last stands of vir-
gin White pine in Minnesota, has been
killed by the United States senate
The amendment, requested by Sem
ators Nelson and Clapp, was opposed
by many. who felt that such action
would be detriment to the reser-
walton: Under the terms of the
amendment, had it passed, the forest
would be administered by the secre-
tary of the interior, who would be
authorized to sell the dead and down
timber and the mature timber and
to retain the green standing timber
as a perpetual forest. The Red Lake
Indians would receive the proceeds
of the sales of timber and would re-
tain titles to the lands and standing
timber 4=,s@4~- 49,
Opposition to the bill was led by
Senator Gronna, who objected to
items concerning Indian attorneys
and certain, allowances, given a num-
Der of tribes. Because of the oppo-
stion Senator Amhurst withdrew the
bill and the house resolution carry
ing last years appropriations was
passed. --'" -,

the ensuing election seemed to- be- a

ling the enactment Of these new tariff
schedules, the Democrats went to
tariff reform with vim, and the
Underwood Simors bill, now on the
statute books was, enacted. This was
the biggest job probably, done by
this congress, it requiring the actual
rewriting of almost every schedule,
complicated not only by partizanSfeel-l

DERIDEs HRYAN,s VIEWS.
Major Hull Says Foreign Foe Could
 Easily Make Invasion Here.

The unpreparedness of the United States for war was bitterly denounced by Major Hadlai A. Hull speaking at the annual muster of George M. Cole camp, United Spanish War Veterans, at the state armory in New London on Monday night. Major Hull asserted that a foreign foe would have very little difficulty in case of an invasion and he urged more efficient national defense.
 The speaker opened his address by arraigning Secretary of State Bryan for his remark ito large gathering of intelligent people recently, that the United States could muster an army of 100000 in 12 hours. Why the secretary of state knows or should know that there are not that many available guns in the country" de- clared Major Hull. And that remark was made by the chief advisor to the president of the United States. the commander-in-chief of the army and navy"
 Under the existing conditions the United States would be unable to raise an army of more than 250, 900 and these would be mostly militia and national guard. He secuted the idea that because the United States and its
