indemnity Doubtful.

Just as the circumstances of the
sinking of the Ancona will determine
the gravity of the issue between the
interests of the heirs of Americans
lost with the vessel in the opinion of
officials here. 1t is pointed out that
if the Ancona was torpedoed in viola
ton of international law, this Gov
eminent will demand indemnity for
the loss of American lives. On the
other hand, IL it is shown that the
Austrian submarine complied with the
requirements of international law, this
Government will have no ground upon
which to make a demand for in
demnity.
At the Austrian Embassy emphasis
was laid on the press dispatches that
100 shots were fired at the Anco1a.
An official of the Embassy said:
I'VE are not worried, because the
news dispatches indicate that the
Ancona attempted to escape"

her amid the desperate cries of the
passengers.

the submarine likewise firing on them.

Says Crew Took Boats.

THE submarine allowed 40 minutes
for the passengers and crew to aban-
don the steamer, on board of which
panic reigned, but only small num-
Der of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the crew.
"A great number of boats, probably
sufficient to save all the passengers,
remained unoccupied.
After a period of so minutes, and
as another steamer was approaching,
the submarine submerged and tor
pedoed the Ancona, which sank after
an additional As minutes.
IF any of the passengers lost their
lives this was due to the fault of the
crew, because the steamer tried to
escape after it had received orders to
stop, and then the crew saved only
themselves and not the passengers.
Reports published in the foreign
press that the submarine fired on the
Ancona's lifeboats are mendacious in
ventions When the steamer stopped
the submarine ceased firing"

Bank Report Shows Prosperity.

In January a report was issued giving
figures which broke all records for in

709, 1852. The midyear report is al
ways larger than that of any other
season because it contains the bulk
of the money deposited by the agri-
culturists, but the last abstract shows
almost that amount in the total of
500, 5,426,0 97-and this during the
dullest season Of the year places the
state on a new high record again in
the matter of prosperity. The figures
compiled by the bank commissioner
show bonds and other securities in
the state to the value of ss,794, ,1476 &c.
which does not include S33S,434 in
state and savings banks and in trust
companies as bonds to secure postal
savings. They show also that there
is due from reserve banks the sum of
S10,624, ,SS9.9S, and from banks not re-
serve $42,787.0S. The corresponding
report of the bank commissioner for

Sea Of Marmora.
The Sea of Marmora, which is the
connecting link between the Darda--
nelles and the Bosporus, is a quiet
sheet of water. Nature has been more
than generous in her provisions for
guarding this sea between Asia and
Europe against hostile power. The
Bosporus, its approach from the Black
sea on the north, is deep, water
filled, twisting valley, whose surface
almost all the way is at the mercy of
the enclosing mountain heights. In
the south, the Dardanelles, while of
greater breadth than the Bosporus.
forms an easily defended channel, Al
miles long and commanded by it's
shore heights.
Marmora sea is a wonderful amphi-
theater for modern naval struggle.
An elliptical bowl of bluest water, it is
enclosed by hilly shore line, which
is bold and steep upon the Asiatic
side. From east to west, the sea is
IT'S miles long, while it's extreme width
is about fifty miles. 1t has an area of
4,500 square miles.
Constantinople lies tucked away
near the northernmost point of Mar
mora, at the opening of the Bosporus
outlet. In the west and south are
several considerable islands, of which
the largest, Marmora, has been fa-
nous for it's alabaster and marbles
since the days of Grecian sculptural
and architectural glory.
The Sea of Marmora is one of the
most famous and important seas of
passage in the world Behind it's wa
ters, along the northern shore of the
Black sea, are the most fertile and
favored provinces Of the Russian en-
pire, Russia's granary; while on the
eastern Black sea coast lies Russia's
greatest oil port and her famous oil
bearing hinterland. This sea is the
most important avenue of Central
Asia's raw materials western transport
and Of the Vests manufactures for
consumption in the central East.

to little over eighty-four gallons. II
the water rate is twenty-five cents u
thousand gallons. the money loss
would be about two cents a month. II
the leak is from hot water faucet.
the loss would Of course be larger, for
fuel has been wasted in heating the
escaped water II coal costs IS a ton,
the loss In water and heat will be
nearly ten cents month. THE fact
that the loss is small" says the Scien-
tific American, should not allow us to
neglect small leaks. because by disre-
garding them we tend to become SLOW
