Water Wheel Is Feature of New
Lawn Sprinkler.

A distinctly new type Of lawn
sprinkler. which is described and il
lustrated in the August Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. will, 1t is claimed
cover four or FIVE times as much
ground at one setting as the ordinary
sprinkler. and throws the water in
small drops in such a way that il
rails much like rain. The spray is
produced by a water-wheel which is
revolved by directing a stream from
the hose against its upper edge. The
wheel is mounted at the end of a
curved arm, to which the hose is also
attached, and as it turns it operates
gearing connected with the upright
standard of the sprinkler. This gear
ing causes the arm TO revolve so that
the area within large circle is spray
ed repeatedly.

The Turkish Crisis.

So far as its mere news value Is
concerned, a cabinet crisis is drug
on the market" in these days of war,
and, unless accompanied by unusual
circumstances, comparatively little
attention is paid to 1t. Great Britain
and France have had numberless cab
met changes since the war began.
When the German mailed fist relaxed
moment to drop a chancellor. the
world stared with fascinated eye for
a brief while, only to find that the
whole thing was an elaborate bit OF
byplay, with no bearing on the i'm
mediate future of the war. Even the
miracle of the Russian revolution has
been passed by because of the greater
issue of the war itself which con-
fronts the league OF civilization.
A rift in the government of Turkey
is a minor matter to the world. yet
it may portend great things. The
downfall of Enver Bey in Constanti-
nople Is an element of vital import
ance in the war. If he goes. the
Germanophile influence in the Otto
man empire will vanish; slowly, per-
haps. but none the less surely under
the pressure of the misfortunes which
are now pressing hard on the people
of Turkey. The entire Turkish cab
met has resigned, leaving Enver Bey
in an untenable position. His power,
It is said, is half shotn from him.
Even the loyalty of the Young Turks.
who forced Turkish participation in
the war. is doubtful. Rahkmi Bey,
vail of Smyrna, is said to be the COM
ing power in Turkey, and his sympa-
thies are known to be with the enc
mics Of Germany.
The Turkish empire Is in the direst
straits of any nation in the war. 1t
has lost % per cent of its population
through starvation since August, 1914
Thousands upon thousands are dying
on every week. Her fields are not
titled. her industries are a waste, her
people are demoralized. She is about
ready to collapse under the strain of
three years of war 1t would not be
, surprising If she were the first Of the
Prussian ring to give up the ghost
German guns on the converted war
ship Goeben still frown upon the
Porte, but they are impotent to
change the course Of events. German
officers still bully Turkish regiments,
but they cannot retain control under
the frightful conditions now prevail
ing. Won Mackensen is reported to
be leading the Turkish forces in Mes
opatamia, but the luster of his name
cannot prevent the steady inroads Of
famine.
Turkey is about through. Germany
cannot longer conceal this fact from
the world, from her allies, or from
her own people. When Turkey seeks
separate peace with the entente
as is certain to come within the next
six months, for the entrance of Greece
into the war is bound to have a pow
erful effect at Stamboul-the truth
about the war will be so plain that
even the dullest and stolidest of Prus-
SLAMS may read. Turkey is the weak
sister" of the central empires, so far
as financial and industrial organiza-
ton is concerned. She has sacrificed
much of her reserve food stocks to
Germany, with what result the world
now knows.
The Terrible Turk" has no mind
to follow the Prussian into the abyss.
He is altogether too shrewd a person
for that.

INVESTMENTS.

INVESTMENTS.
I took a share one time IN mines OF
gold,
And won a mass OF cleaning yellow
dross,
And when the final gains were fully
told
In things worth while the ultimate
was loss.
Another share I took in Friendliness-
A share that meant a burden full Of
strife
And out of all its dividends OF stress
Received the richest treasures OF
my life.

factories for war purposes, the local
trades and labor council is today or
ganizing a mass meeting to be held
tomorrow night to protest against the
national service registration scheme
pending action by the government
along the lines indicated. This course
was decided on at a meeting of the
council held last evening when the
local labor delegates rejected the man
date of the executive of the Trades
and Labor Congress, the national
body, that the cards of personal ques-
tions, issued to every man between
sixteen and sixty five in Canada pre-
hminary to the mobilization of the
labor power of the Dominion, should
be filled in and returned as requested
by the government. Suspicion that
the great employers of labor had an
axe to grind apparently dictated the
action of the labor men in Vancouver.
