LAST OF BULGARIAN EXARCHs

The exarchate is older than the Bu,-

in calling il into being and extending
its boundaries. The firman establish,

1870.
The first eXarch was not chosen till
two years later, and held Office for only
five days. His successor ruled for
five years, and was compelled to re-

Twelve days later Joseph was elected

month later he was an archiman-
drite. In 1S74-75 he was sent to the
blshopric of Widdin, and he thereafter
returned to Constantinople as the
right hand Of the eXarch. In 1876 he
became metropolitan Of Loftcha and a
year later exarch.
He was man of great courage. cool
Judgment. skilled diplomacy. untiring
patience and high organizing talent.
He carried the eXarchate through the
critical time of the war.
He resisted all efforts of Turks,
Greeks, and even shortsighted Bulga-
rians to confine his authority to the
territories Of the new Bulgarian state,
and he slowly and steadily extended
the sway OF the Bulgarian church in
Thrace and Macedonia and laid the
foundation of the Greater Bulgaria

While the primary object in making
aeroplanes transparent is to prevent
them from being seen by the enemy,
1t would have an added advantage in
permitting the aviator TO see in all
directions, and thus render his air
scout work more efficient. Several
machines have been put into operation
within the last three months which
are equipped with transparent wings
Of uninflammab celluloid and are al
most invisible when a few hundred
feet in the air.
A new muflling box has also been
devised which serves to still further
deaden the sound and thus enables
the operator to get close to the enemy
without his presence being detected
The substitution of the specially pre-
pared celluloid for the canvas is ex-
pected to mark distinct advance in
aeroplane manufacture, although IL is

NOT HARMFUL TO THE BIRDS
Spraying Fluids Have No III Effect, Is

Spraying fluids used on orchard
trees do not kill the birds as well
as the bugs, Pros n. A. Surface. state
zoologist OF Pennsylvania, recently de-
clared in an effort to upset theory
encouraged in some important circles.
This authoritative statement from
Professor surface ought to be regard
ed as conclusive and set at rest the
doubts OF many readers sf this page.
Il have watched this subject with
the greatest care in thousands of
sprayed orchards in Pennsylvania"
the noted zoologist said, 'and | am
prepared to say with certainty that
/ never have known of a case of a
bird being killed by spraying or hav-
ing been found dead under circum-
stances that Justify the suspicion that
this was the cause of it's death.
we have examined the stomach of
dead birds and have found no evidence
OF arsenic to which their death could
be attributed.
Il live in the midst of one of the
largest orchards in Pennsylvania,
which has been sprayed frequently,
and 1t is full of birds nests. am
sure that IL spraying were destructive
to birds they would not be nesting in
this orchard
1t Is well known that the amount
OF arsenic necessary to kill an insect
will not affect or kin a bird, and also
the birds will not eat dead insects. 1t
would be necessary for the bird to eat
great many beetles to take enough
poison to affect it in the least"
