Abbas Hilrni cast in his lot with the Turks and took refuge in Constantinople, where upon the British government deprived Prince Hussein Renal Pashas on the throne of the ancient land on the Nile. Since then the ex-Khedive has on several occasions iexprssed the opinion that Allah would restore him to his throne.

THE GREYTOWN
 BOMBARDMENT

Since the last armed clash between Great Britain and the United States, just a century az this month, the two countries have on several occasions engaged in controversies which mo
 nentarily threatened a break in their amiable relations. One of these oc- oasi ons was the outgrowth 4; of the bombardnent Of Greytown, on the Mosquito coast of Nicaragua, by the United States s1oop of war Cyane sixty-one years ago today. July 8, 1854. Capt. George N. Rollins, the commander of the Gyane, was a vet eran of the war Of 1812. and belonged to the old fire-eating school of naval officers who had scant regard for the circum1ocufions of di plomacy. He be- lieved in arbitration with powder and ball, and when the American resi- dents of Greytown complained to Hol- lins that they were being imposed up on by the local authorities. the inn petuous captain took matters into his own hands, and, without waiting for instructions, proceeded to lombard the town. Much property was de- stroyed,s and not g little of it belonged to British merchants. The latter complained to their government. and for time nrst-rate row seemed imminent. Eventually the diplomats succeeded in arranging the matter to the satisfaction fboth governments. Capt. Rollins. whose impetuous act had come so near toS p1unging his country into serious difficulties, later became a Confederate naval officer. and was flag captain of the New Or leans station.

Moslems Observe Ramadan, the Month
 Of Abstinence

All true believers in Allah and
 Mohammed his prophet will begin to-
 day the observance of the Moslem
 1enten season, which comprises the
 month of Ranadan, the ninth month Eof the Mohammedan year It was in
 Ramadan that Mohammed received his first revelation, and his followers are therefore enjoined to keep a strict fast throughout the entire month, from sunrise to sunset During the night it is permissible to satisfy the
 most necessary wants. As in the case
 of the Christian observance of the
 season of sackcloth and ashes. this permission is stretched by the average
 Moslem and is interpreted to grant
 a liberal indulgence in food and in all sorts Of enjoyments. Very few Mohammedans are so careless or their
 religius duties as to partake of food during the day, but in their nocturnal
 feAsts they. try to make up for lost time. Until Ramadan comes to an end with the celebration of the feast of Bairam on twelfth of August, the comm missary departments of the Fur
 kfsh armies will have to provide for feeding most of the soldiers after nightfal1 The MosIem believes that if he is slain in battle he will wing his way straight to paradise in habited by beautiful houris and pro- yided with all sorts of sensual de- lights, and with such a prospect in view he is not likely to risk his souls
 salvation by eating during the pro-
 hibited hours.
 Since the dawn of history nearly all
 religious and nations have had pc rtods of fasting. Fasting was a re- Igfous rite among the Jews and
 Ninevites and other ancient peoples, and in Greece and Rome. Christianity
 early adopted the custom, and the first Christian ministers were or dai1fed with fasting. Annual fasts,t as that of Lent, and on particular oc- caAons to appease the wrath of God, were instituted in the Christian fchurch in the second century. The Moharnnnedans ! made Ramadan a stitution of the new faith

THE BOOTHS


 The first appearance of Booth on the American stage was on July 13, 1921, just ninety-four years ago today, when Junius Brutus Booth made his American debut att Rich naond, Va. playing his favorite part of Richard IT., in which part he played a. little later at the Park thea ire in New York. A native of Lon don, he had early won considerable success in that city, but it was on this side of the Atlantic that he gain ed his widest fame. He acted in al- most every theatre of any importance in the United States and Canada. His temperament was so excitable that at times he made frenzied attacks on his fellow players in scenes calling for sword play, His genius and ec- centricity were inherited by his sons, Edwin Thomas and John Wilkes Booth, the former becoming the most famous of American actors, while the latter is forever infamous as the as- sassin of Abraham Lincoln. The genius of the elder Booth was akin to insanity and there is every reason to believe that John Wilkes Booth was madnan when he killed Lin coin. Junius Brutus Booth died on board a Mississippi steamboat in 1852.

NAVY EXPERIMENTS
 IN TORPEDO NETS

Washington, July 1s.-For expert- mental purposes. the navy department has purchased several torpedo nets for battleships to protect them from tor pedo attack. Secretary Daniels said today these were of the same type as those employed by European navies The experiments are now go- ing on with the nets aboard one of the battle fleet. The nets hang to a depth of 30 feet or more from the ships side. They constitute af chain about her and torpedoes are discharg- ed when they strike the nets. Rela- lively small damage results except to the net which is torn, leaving a hole through which a second torpedo can get home.
 Some officers, while not confident of the success of the net experiment, believe it wise to leave no stone un- turned in an effort to protect battle ships from submarines. It is said nets are no use exceot to ships at

EDISON TO HEAD
 NAVY COMMITTEE
 ON WAR DEVICES
Inventive Genius of Nation Will Aid on Daniels Plan
 For Development.

Washington, July 13.-Announce- ment by Thomas A. Edison of his ac- ceptance of Secretary Daniels offer to head an advisory board on civilian in ventors for the proposed bureau of invention and development in the na- wy department was received with qualification to-day by naval officials Secretary Daniels was especially pleased because upon MT. Edisens s ac- .ceptance depended almost entirely the development of the Secretary's plan of utilizing the inventive genius of the country to aid in perfecting the navy as a fighting machine.
 MT. Daniels, who appealed to MT. Edison to undertake the task on pa triotic grounds, went ahead to-day with the perfection of his new plans. Details of the proposed organization, however. will not be completed until the secretary has had an opportun- ity to confer with Mr. Edison which he hopes to be very soon. It is plan ned to have men prominent in special lines of invention and research work associated with the bureau, several names already being under considera- ton.
 One of the big problems to be laid before the new bureau will be that of improving the navy's submarines and aeroplanes.
 Referring in his letter to MT. Edi- son to submarine warfare, Secretary Daniels said that he felt sure that with MT. Edtson's wonderful. brain to help them, the officers of the navy would be able to meet this new dan ger with new devices that will secure peace to our country by their effective ness.
 Another important task of the bu- reau will be to make careful study with a view to their possible adoption of all the numerous suggestions and daily by the navy department from naval officers and civilians. These are now handled by the various bu- reaus already overcrowded with rou- tine work.
 Annapolis, July 1s.-The United States navy engineering experinn ent station, which Secretary Daniels in his letter to Thomas A. Edison referred to as the only station for engineer ing investigation now at the disposal of the department, is situated on the opposite side of the Severn river from the naval academy and forms part of the institution.
 The first tests at the station were made in 1908 and at present 1t is overwhelmed with work.

 The station maintains lubricant testing laboratory, a corrosion labora- tory. The metallographist applies his microscope and camera to broken propeller shafts, engine conecting rods. gun tubes. boiler rivets and sinni- lar apparatus, in order to determine the cause of the fractures. He ex- arnines specimens of new metal in course of manufacture in order to determine whether the mill is con- ducting the manufacturing process so as to give metal of the required facil- ities.
