A dispatch to Mattino from Saloniki
says that Bulgaria has concentrated l5O,-
600 troops on the Turkish border

Recent news dispatches from Sofia
have agreed that Bulgaria is satisfied
with the territorial concessions offered
her by the entente powers as the price
of her aid in the war. The consent of
Serbia and Greece to the terms is await
ed before the allies can bring the nego-
tiations with Bulgaria to successful
conclusion. If Bulgaria declares war on
Turkey, it is understood that she will
receive general financial assistance from
the powers.

NOTE TO PORTE
ADMITS NO INVASION
Italy Calls on Turkey to Say if Italians
Will be Permitted to Leave
Turkish Possessions.

Paris, Aug. 2l.--The Italian embassa-
dor at Constantinople, says Rome dis
patch, has been instructed to hand the
Porte note, asking for a formal state
ment as to the departure of Italians
from Turkish possessions. The note is
couched in terms admitting of no eva
sion. Without being an ultimatum, the
note calls upon the Turkish government
to declare yes or no whether the Italians
will be permitted to leave and when.

parts the decoration known as King John," done by Brangwyn for the new courthouse at Cleveland, o. It was in one that I saw the eight San Francisco panels before they were packed up and shipped to America-almost unbelievable, in muggy London, bathed as the figures alone can paint.
 Although I have said that Brangwyn paints at white heat 1t must not be sup posed that he rigs up a canvas, climbs a ladder and begins spashing the paint about without most minute preparation. It must be evident to all who have seen these paintings that the artist has brought to bear upon them exhaustive study, unrivaled knowledge and imagi- nation. Fer each painting elaborate studies are made leading up to fin- ished drawing in colored chalk. This is ruled off in squares and by that means tho designs transferred by Brangwyn's s assistants to the large canvas. It IS then that Brangwyn, with great dexter- ous sweeps of the brush, lays his marvel ous color on in the manner which, since his earliest days as a student, has ex- cited the wonder and admiration of all who know his work.
 Brangwyn, in versatility, probably has no equal among living artists and al- though it is by his paintings in oil that he will be chiefly known to posterity his etchings have attracted art lovers all over the world. It will be remembered that our own Whistler. himself a great etcher, placed limit on the size of works done in this medium. You could place a dozen of what Whistler declared to be the maximum of size on one of Rrangwyns largest etchings. Brangwyn believes that only the subject and the method of presentation should condition the size of an etching He finds it inn possible to display to the full the sweep and dash of his style, his boldness and largeness of design, the quality of .m- mensity and power which are typical of his work on plate that can be cov- cred by a mans hand,
 Experts and art lovers will argue over this question of size as we'll as over the question of line. also raised by Whistler and boldly challenged by Brangwyn. For my purpose 1t is enough to point out that Brangwyns etchings have had vogue never be-

all of these compare well with our great states in size. The state of Santa Fe Is bigger than New York. Mendoza fs larger than Illinois, Cordoba than Missouri and San Luis and Entre Rios are each about equal to South Carolina In size. The province of Buenos Aires Las l1S,000 square miles. and it ranks with our great western states of New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. Cor rientes Is just about equal to Maine, Catamarca and La Rioja are larger than Indiana, while San Juan is as big as Ohio and Tucuman as Massachu- setts. I venture that many of my readers cannot tell where these states are and fewer will be able to say as much regarding territories. Neverthe- less, the Chaco, at the north opposite Paraguay, is bigger than the state of New York, and Formosa, in the same region, covers more ground than Ohio. The trritory of the Pampa is larger than Illinois. Rio Negro is as big as Kansas. Neuquen is the size of Nir- sinia and Chubut is larger than Utah. The territory of Santa Cruz, down in Patagonia, Is as big as Nevada, and 1t would take two states the size of Ill- rois; while the Argentine slice of the island of Tierra del Fuego is as large as Massachusetts and it has, venture, more good grazing land.
 I shall first write of some of the country south of Bahia Blanca. This territory is large enough to form an empire of itself and parts of it are as little explored as the wilds of Tibet.

THE ROMANTIC CAREER OF FAMOUS PAINTER

sions than he can ever execute, recipient Of an income equalled probably by no other painter in the world, he is as simple and as fresh as a child. AL though he turns out an almost unbe- lievable amount of work he is. appar- ently, never too busy to receive even those who have no purpose but to waste his time. And in country where polite society is only too glad to lionize men of genius, Brangwyn lives only for his art spends no time in the gilded salons of Mayfair, and is living example of the truth of the old adaga-early to bed and early to rise, etc
 There is something about the physical appearance of Brangwyn that suggests his amazing powers of work He is short and stocky, as befits his Welsh strain, and his sturdy limbs and torso suggest immense power and endurance. Although he is approaching 50, his cheeks are ruddy and it is evident that a stout heart still drives the blood through his veins at the speed of youth.
 His hair is still black as whole but at the temples it is touched with white This is not strange in a man of Brang- wyn's temperament For he is a man of moods He works only when the spirit moves him and then at white heat. His speed of execution is tremendous and he frequently turns out an elaborate paint ing at single sitting, or at most two or three. That, despite his dependence upon mood, he does turn out so much work is due to the fact that he works ir several mediums and can turn to water color when oil does not attract or to etchings when neither oil nor water color suits his stomach (which is, be- lieve, the home of even a painters moods)
 One immense studio in Hammersmith, West London, is not sufficient for Brang wyn. so part of his work is done in a second at Baron's Court a short walk east. Drop in at either of these studios almost any time of day and you will find men, under the direction of the painter. at work on enormous canvasses partially covered with the strong figures now immediately recognized by art crit ics and students all over the world as Brangwyn' s-figures that give a satisfac- tory sense of power and strength Any guess-your-w ght- for-a-nickle man could judge their weight to an ounce
 Here in these two studios are paintings ordered from all over the world. In one. some month ago, saw in three

whereby for the moment he became a sailor, paying his debts in the form of several of his sketches. Thus began his life afloat
 Voyage succeeded voyage, taking the boy over much of one side of the world. The terms he made with his various shippers were generous ones and the painter found plenty of time to practice his developing art. In 1855 his first oil painting was accepted by the Royal academy when the boy was only IS. Two years later we find him settled down in Chelsea and, although he had had a couple of successful one-man exhibitions that attracted attention, he was discour- aged by his inability to make both ends meet He was, indeed, on the point of abandoning art and embracing the sea when a Chelsea colorman came to the rescue with a proposal that he guarantee Brangwyn an income of S10 week for period of two years. The boy ac- cepted, shook the old world dust of Bohemian Chelsea from his sandals anI settled down to hard work in Cornwall.
 It was little later in life that DA oh5 wy II, hSSildliuS TUT PeIiou, finally forsook sombre tones and emerged into the vivid sunshine winch has been so characteristic of his pest work and without which a Brangwyn would hardly be recognized now In- deed it is as painter of light. with all its difficult problems that Brangwyn is most discussed today. By his light and his color he stands or falls and these two he has tackled with cour- age displayed by few painters.
 In 1891 and again two years later the French art world rose enthusias- tically to two typical Brangwyn paint ings-''rhe Funeral at Sea" and "Thc Buccaneers"-exhibi at the Paris salon. This was the real beginning of his reputation on the continent which has completely outdistanced his fame at home In 1892 Brangwyns "The Convict Ship" exhibited at the Chi cago Fair. was medaled and widely praised in the United States; the year before the Royal Academy in London slxied the same painters Assistance. '
 The painter has persevered despite much home-born criticism But though critics may discuss and dogma tize. Brangwyn's is the spirit of sane modernity. He is painters painter, Erapp1ing with a mans grip the prob lems troubling the rising generation of painters: respecting the masters of

Consider the Hobo

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 1ramps have few vicissitudes. They do not have to cater to fickle constituencies, as public servants must. They are never alarmed about losing a sinecure. They do not fail and go into the hands of re- ceiver, as corporations often do, or into bankruptcy, where many individuals fetch Up after entering with high hopes and fine confidence upon profitable and honorable projects. Tramps are not sued for divorce and compelled to pay alimony sufficient to keep up disgruntled wives in the style to which they aspire. They are under no necessity of getting up in the early lnorn- ing, when all of the consultations of para 6ise are claimed by the fortunate few who call awaken just sufficiently to bo able to realize their luck and then turn over to pick up again the golden thread of unfinished dreams. They are not pinned to che pitiful spot in a world of wonders and delights to vegetate in q de- rleted soil and become stunted. The tramp is gentleman of unlimited leis- ure.
 The crumpled rose leaf in the hobo's bouquet of earthly pleasures has been the inhospitable attitude of the conventional world toward those who have unlocked the treasure house of idleness, and turned their backs upon the tawdry prizes hung up for toilers Now the great and good state of New York has set aside fund out of which every wanderer may be pro. vided for, to the extent of 45 cents day, while being furnished free bed.

NEW DEVEI DEMENT'S IN EASTERN PATAGONIA

lands some years ago, going from Punta Arenas to Port Stanley. the capital. The islands lie about 25o miles east of the South American continent, and are large ly dependent upon South America for their trade and steamship connection. They belong to Great Britain and ara populated by Englishmen and Scotchmen. The chief town is Stanley. It has about 800 people. The islands all told have a little more than so0o and of these per haps 900 are females.
 The only business of the Falklands is raising sheep and catching whales. The sheep number all told about 100000 and from them come wool and skins to an annual value of about s7o0,0oo. The whal- ing industry yields about s4ooo.ooo worth of whale oil and a little less than s1oo.- 0O0 worth of whalebone.
 The Falklands are about the windiest part of the world The governor of the colony told me that the wind blew so hard that not a tree could live the island, and that 1t sometimes even blew the potatoes and turnips out of the ground. Nevertheless, the grass there grows luxuriantly and the sheep keep fat if the islands are not overstocked. The country has a grass that acts as a tonic, as well as a food. It Is said to be a sort of vegetable cocktail which cattle and sheep will eat almost with out ceasing. This plant is known as tus- sock grass. It grows in tussocks punches, and as many as 250 roots may spring from one plant. The animals eat the roots also, and the roots are even eaten by men. It is said that two Amer leans who were cast away on one of the smaller islands lived for more than year on these tussock roots. The roots of the old plants decay and the grass grows upon them, as upon a cushion of manure Such cushions are sometimes six feet in height and five feet in diam eter The plants in the distance look like groves of small palms.
 Port Stanley is an English settlement. The signs are all English ard it seems strange to find the children speaking English so close 10 the South Amer ican continent The town has two ho tels, or public houses, where you can get bed or a drink, and the butcher shops sell delicious mutton at cents pound Moreover, the people are well educated They have travelling school masters who go from house to house over the islands to teach the little ones. and there are advanced schools in Port Stanley. The islands have a telephone exchange and wireless telegraph stations. More than 150000 pieces of mall go through the postoffice each year.

habitual criminals. The penitentiary has a sawmill and also workshops for locksmiths, carpenters and shoemakers It has foundry, printing office and a bakery and there Is a quarry nearby where building stone is gotten out for shipment to the north. The prisoners do the work of the community They make the streets and build the houses They furnish electric lights by means Of motor and dynamo worked by themselves.
 There are few Indians living at Cshiaa and others are scattered here and there over Argentine Tierra del Fuego Altogetner there are now less than 1000 and Tn time they will pass away When the white men first came to this part of the world Tierra del Fuego had something like 10000 red men. These belonged to two principal tribes known as the Onas and Yaghans They were savages. living by hunting and fishing. They went almost naked, but they were comparative healthy Then came the missionaries, and with then came clothes, and with clothes consumption. And so some of the sooffers say that consumption directly and the missionaries indirectly have killed off the Indians.
 The Indians of Patagonia are also fast
  between Punta Arenas and the Gallegos river and you may travel for miles through northern Santa Cruz and in Chubut without finding one. There are some in the mountains, and in the wild CT parts of the country an occasional fsmily may be found. The Patagonian Indians are known as the Tehuelches. They are said to be the largest of the red race and have often been written of az the giants of Patagonia. Not long ago Prof J. B. Hatcher of Princeton college made an expedition to study the geog- raphy and geology of southern Patagonia. He estimated that there were about 300 Indians living between the Santa Cruz river and the Strait of Magellan. He n easured many of them and found the average height of the men to be feet II inches and their average weight about 175 pounds. The women weighed about as much as the men, and they were as well developed physically. He said that race suicide was common among them. He found hut few families that had more than three children. Many had one or two only and some had none.
 The Tehuelches live on the flesh of the guanaco The skin of that animal fur nishes their clothing and if also forms the coverings of their toldos, or wig vans Of late many of the savagss have become sheep thieves. The planters des- pise them.
 Many of the sheep farmers of this part of the world have come from tha
