HEAVY LOSS REPORTED IN STRAIT FIGHT
 

London, April 8-A despatch to the Times from Myti1ene dated Thursday says:
 Except for a few shots on the 2sth and the reported bombardment of Turkish positions near the gulf of Saros by the Queen Elizabeth there has been no fighting recently in the DardaneIles region.
 tsThe British public, which may have taken too light hearted g view of the campaign against the gates of the Turkish empire, will have to exer- else patience and be prepared to ac- cept heavy losses with equaninity Owing to the weather and other req sons the Turks and Germans had time to strengthen greatly the positions on both sides of the straits. They have fair supply of artillery mounted in excellentp ositions which the, allies naval guns cannot always reach.
 There is nothing to show that the absence of Conaraderie between the German and Turkish officers has di- unfinished the fighting efficiency of the army to any considerable extent. The Turk shows at his best in de- fensive operations and much hard fighting in which the allies must suf- fer heavily may be expected before the allies are able to train their guns on the porte. ?

New York. April 3.-The steamer Terence. from South America, reach ed Furman Street, Brooklyn yester- day, with an old time cargo of snakes monkeys and other tropical creatures.
 Old Tom, the biggest true boa. broke out of his box off the South Carolina coast. and hustled for the engine room gratings.

When Old Tom was overhauIed he was scof- dng two paroQuets at once. and seem ed to be reIishing them. He waa caught with a crotched stick and was soon back in his crate.
 Bartels fell i'll with the jungle fe- yer in Brazil.

LORD WORCESTER.

The first man to foreshadow a host of modern inventions was the Mar quis of worcester, who died PAS years ago today. The Marquis made a model of a steam engine and in a re- marka.b1e book he described a hun dred possible inventions, among them a. semaphore telegraph; a watch that would never require winding; an ex- plosiye proiecti1e that would sink any ship, and a ship that would resist any projectile; a rapid-f1re cannon that would shoot six shells a minute; a calculating machine for adding and subtracting; a pistol that could be fired twelve times without reIoadfng; and a host of other things then un- dreamed of. but many of which are now commonplaces. The Marquis possessed a wonderful imagination, but he lacked the mechanical genius to put his ideas into effect It is a pity that the Marquis can't return to earth now and see in operation scores of the machines and appliances of which he was the first to dream.
