"They seem to think that I'm a remnant sale," he said. * The crush was so great that a nuiu•uer of persons were injured.

TO DESTROY THE FLY.

A MIXTURE WHICH KILLS THE PESO'S. I'ARIS, August 13. , Dr. Delamarre, an eminent army surgeon, has just published the results ol his investigations concerning tiie con-tagion-bearing qualities of tiie ordinary house fly. \vithout Hesitation he condemns the familiar insect to death. He ■points out .that numerous plans for executing this sentence Has Been evolved 'by scientists of all times and every country hut flies are apparently as nu.merous as ever.

He suggests a mixture composed of one .part foriuol to nine parts of water, ibis may be put in ordinary plates and placed wherever flies are likely to congregate. Twenty-four hours later, says the doctor, not only the plates themselves but a considerable space around them (will be covered by Hies and mosquitoes which the mixture and emanations from the mixture have poisoned. The insects as though, it were sugar. To be perfeetiveiy effective it snould be changed every -twenty-four hours.

Dr. Delamarre says .that he has been usmg his insecticide in the hospitals under his control for tne past ten years and has never known it to fail. In a single room containing 521 cubic meters there were killed during one summer an average of 4000 Hies a dav.

Dr. Delamarre's suggi'slien is particularly welcome in Paris, for during the .past faw years mosquitoes, before practically unknown here, have shown a great aptitude for becoming acclimated.

BATH AS A BALLROOM. WALTZES AXD QUAiJKILLES INI THE WATER.. jjj GENEVA, September j. A fancy dress ball in which the dances took place in water was held on Wednesday night at Loueche-les-Bains. The ballroom was the "Grand Bain." which was full of heated water, and was decorated with electric lights, Chinese lanterns. Hags, .plants, and Mowers. All the available seats at the sides of the bath were sold, the proceeds going to charity. At an early hour the spectators'seats wen- crowded with ladies and gentlemen in evening dress, and at U.:o p.m. there .was great excitement, as t'je dancers and singers—all amateurs, and dressed in expensive costumes, and some wearing jewellery— entered the water. -Most of the ladies wore silks and satins, which were ruined in a few seconds, but all stquped gaily into the water. Some of the most striking costumes represented reigning queens and king-, Chinese mandarins, Mephistophelcs.costermongers, English policemen, etc. The evening commenced with a concert, all the bathers, up to their chests in water, singing part songs and choruses. Afterwards dancing commenced in the water. First of all there ,was a quadrille which had been studied beforehand and was well executed. Then followed very slow waltzes, and Anally two-steps. Not till the early hours did the aquatic ball come to an end. The spectators remained to the last, and congratulated the dancers, most of whom were American and English.

, MILLIONAIRE'S FREAK DINNER. ATHENS ON THE THAMES. Mr George A. Flossier, " the Champagne King," who some years ago created a sensation and a record by giving a freak gondola dinner at the Savoy Hotel, .beat his own record at Bourne End with a red-hot extravaganza. He entertained at New York Lodge 300 Olympic guests, including Lord Des- 1 borough, to a final Olympic "flare-up" in a stage at Athens, It was writes the ' Star' man who was present, th'i limit in lavish hospitality. At the Savoy Mr Kessler created a stage Venice. At Bourne End he created Athens. The whole countryside was requisitioned for the purpose, including miles of the river front on both sides of the Thames and mile 3, of Berks and Bucks hills. Thousands of pounds were spent in carrying out a lire and water scheme which left the most hardened I sightseer spellbound. The dinner was I served from the London Savoy Hotel in I a vast open Athenian .palace set up in the middle of the millionaire host's 'ground beside the Thames. These„ . grounds and the Thames River banks from the railway bridge at Bourne End to the end of Cuokham Reach had been converted by electric glow lamps and fairy lights into a fairyland of fire. Thousands oi lights outlined acres of I rosilieils, plants, trees, a nd hedgerows ' ill name. »~£ '.

But the triumph of freak ingenuity was the building, a- a .background for all this colossal extravaganza, of the scenic cilv oi Alliens. >.vllic artists had been' turned on to produce, this illusion on canvas. Temples and palaces and hills rose up in a vast vista, and during the serving of dinner this scenic city was lighted by colored fires, which ■rale it the vviir.le'st possible effect. The band of the 7th Hussar, played merrily in the middle "I il all. and Mr George Ke-ler mu-t have fell .i- pvnud "* I \ero ai the burning "I Ib'im'. i» menu f»r the :100 guests was Olypian.

I DKrT.ESSIO.N IN EXUNAXD. AS JsKICX ltY A XT.W ZKALAXUEI The observations of Mr. Thoma l'ringle, of Wellington, who returne recently from a business trip to tic Old World, were by no means altogcth,' cheerful. Depressed trade and unem ployment were the principal things lli.r struck him in Great Britain. "It m simply awful," he told a Dominion re porter. "Going down the Clyde, \vh«"c one used to be deafened by the continual noise of the hammers in the shipbuilding works, 1 did not hear a siugit one. I found that at l'ort Glasgow, even in duly, soup kitchens were open for the relief of the destitute, and wlnt it vvill.be like when winter conies oic does not care to think.''

A tiLOOMY OUTLOOK. In all parts of England Mr. I'ring'e found the condition* were similarly bail, and lie did not see any signs of a change for the better. Beggars and people trying to live by selling small articles in the streets seemed to be much more numerous in Loudon than they we."e when Jlr. I'ringle was there two years ago. All the merchants and manuf.u'turers to whom lie spoke were looking forward to worse times ahead, and tue country seemed to be passing throug'i a period of great social stress and political unrest, lie found there wa» a growing tendency to consider seriously! the question 01 "iiscal .reform," one stimulating cause being the great amount ol cheap foreign labor) elneily from Kussian, Poland, that had come into many dill'erent parts of England, ajul seemed to be ousting Britishers al-

together from some brandies of employment. ADVEKTJSIXt; NEW ZEALAND. The metropolis was overrun Ly French people and other foreigners who hail ueen attracted thitlier by the Franco-British Exhibition, but the shopkeepers complained that the inllnx brought them no perceptible increase uf trade. Like other visitors from New Zealand, Air. l'ringle was much disappointed in this country's display at . Ii; Franco-British Exhibition. It was distressingly commonplace, and was quite overshadowed by the Canadian and Aui tralian'courts. Nobody seemed to take any interest in it—"a niagnilicent opportunity thrown away." Xhis was, ;n Air. Pringle's opinion, only one instance of a general lack of activity in the advertising of New Zealand and its resources. He hoped the new. High Commissioner would speedily remove his office from Westminster to some imuh more central position. Queensland had given a lead by opening recently 'a line new oJlice in the Strand. The example of Canada and other parts of the Empire in running attractive permanent exhibitions of their produce and manufactures in, well-situated shops might also. Air. l'ringle thought, be followed with advantage by New Zealand. Again, en the way back, New Zealand's modesty in making its attractions known struck ilr. l'ringle unfavorably. The ship at Freinantle was deluged with bright, attractive immigration and tourist liteiv.ture from all the Australian States, but there were only half-a-dozen pamphlets about New Zealand. Mr. l'ringle was away nearly six months, and he visited Italy, France, and Switzerland as well as Cre.it Britain.

SEKVJLi'S LOiVCUNU FOR A SEAPORT. Land-locked Servia, according to yesterday's cables, wants a strip of territory twelve miles broad connecting her with the Adriatic Sea. At tiie nearest point Servia is quite 100 miles from the Adriatic Sea, so the strip would have to be at least 100 miles long. The tirst question is whether the strip is to be carved out north of Montenegro—in which case the recentlyannexed Bosnian territory of Austria would be the loser—or whether it is to be carried seawards south of Monte negro—in which case Turkey's province of Albania would be plundered, and the Turk's bill for compensation would become much larger. The statement that the new strip is to be bounded by Novibazar and Bosnia would, however, appear to settle it as being north of Montenegro—thai is, at the expense of Austria. Is the country that has just annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina IMyiy.' to yield to Servia a strip thereof twelve miles wide and at least 100 miles long? In that ei.se Austria would not only lose -the strip taken, but would find a strip of the Dalmatian coast cut from her; for even Montenegro Has only 28 miles of Adriatic seaboard, Anst/ia possessing all the coastline to the north. Perhaps it is this strip of Austrian coast-line that, according to Serb ideas, should constitute. Montenegro's extension. Mon'.enegro's present ports arc Anlivari and Dulcigno (which she obtained from Turkey' under the Treaty of Berlin). N'ovibazar. [onneily under Austrian military control, and 7iow proposed to be reti-oeeiled by Austria to Turkey, is dropped in between Turkey, Servia, Austria and Montenegro. It has been called the "door of the Aegean," the entrance by which Austria is to break into Turkey and force her way to Constantinople". But if this new Servian strip of territory, placing Servia in touch with Montenegro and in touch with the Adriatic, were thrown across the path, there would be, between Austria and Turkey, a buffer indeed. Servia, of course, longs for an outleti in the Adriatic Sea. Servia must import many esse-ntials: A.ustria controls the Danube; and Austria can stop Servian importations, whether of Envoys Extraordinary (with alliances in their pockets) or for ammunition and guns. Territorial connection with the Adriatic would alter that. But what will 'Austria say?— Dominion.

A TOLSTOY SETTLEMENT. England contains a Tolstoy Settlement? It was founded at Christchurcli, Hants, in 1001. The famous philosopher's gospel, of course, is the teaching of tlic sermon on the Mount, on which his idea of life is based. The English settlement has, since its inauguration, been conducted on lines which commc-ul tliemselves to Tolstoy himself, and its dwellers, who number about forty or tiftv people, live as a large, happy and united familv. The settlement was established liv Mr. Yladniir Tiekerlko|l.| . 'a close pergonal friend o( tire Count's, and his literary representative n England, who was exiled from liussia ten years ago for his active supnri of the Doukhobors, a persecuted people, nowsettled in Canada. The, settlement 19 the Mecca not only of Kussian refugees, 'ibut of-English people, and those from other lands who are enamored of the ToMovan ideal. The c-tahlishment ot ~„. -1--V.-.- Age Press.' instituted (or the di,seiniimti"ii of translations of the Kussiiu. liieraleur's vrilings. synchronised Willi that of the settlement. The cominunit.v. as far as possible, are self-supporting. The land is Idled to provide the food of the settlement, and numerous industries are .promoted. Home of the settlers are taught the craft of shoe-making; others are instructed in making and repairing of ',j t .y ( .|es. fiook-'binding is another ot die industries, while gardening, b"c- ] <eeping. and poultry-rearing arc also vrofitahle ocenpations.

WORKINGS Oh' RADIUM. The neather has -had more than its full share of scientific attention under •' Mr. Mirny's presidency of the nhvsics section, and to-day one very strikin" new fact was communicated by 31. de Bort, a French observer.

The geogologists, of whom a great number of distinguished men were present, were much excited about a new theory of the earth as affected by radium. The earth is not so much like an orange as a pear, and the seas have a tendency to gravitate to the thinner end of the South Vole. By the edge of these great southern is,e<is nn enor-I mous amount of radium has accumu-' lated, and rig heat is the real cause of 'th« great upheavals paid mountain ranges.

BULGARIA'S LONG-CHERISHED DREAM. Bulgaria has dreamed a da-am of ultimate ireedom for ai. least live centuries. Whether she will accomplish •her end by her precipitate action the next lew days will probably decide, since tine great Vowers of Europe have been set by tire cars, and with tiicni rests the fate of the plucky little country which has suffered so aiueSi, and shed the blood of so many of her patriots in the cause of liberty,

"Tne Bulgarians 500 years ago were a great nation," says Mr. John L. C. Roui'li, special correspondent of the London Graphic- during the levoit of 11)03, in his book, "Trouble in hue Balkans." "When the Turks swept into Europe from the Medtttcranean and conquered them they were put under the Greek Church for their religious discipline and education, and the influence of Ihe churchman in the lite of the Eastern countries is immense. So that by degrees the Bulgarian institutions, literature, and everything that made them a nation vanished. Their very name dropped out of use, ana as a people they were abolished. Not till the middle of last century did they niuke any effort to thrown off the Greek Patriarchate yoke and re-establish their own ancient church. About 40 yearsof petitioning led at last to the Sultan granting the appointment of an Ex-arch by Firinin in 1870, and under this Ex-arch the new Bulgarian Churcn was established. The people having their name back, now begun to ice! their feet a little, and ventured to kick back at the Turks, who 'had been kicking them for live centuries. The immediate result of this temerity was the descent of troops on the disturbed districts, and the massacre of 1870, in which about 25,000 Bulgarians—men',' women and children—were done to death. This was a little too much for Europe, and the Powers protested. The Sublime Vorte, however, refused to listen to them, which so incensed Russia, that she declared war. Having thrashed the Turks, she gave them tneir orders in the Treaty of San Stefano (March, 1878), by whicili the Bulgarians were to possess and enjoy practically the whole of Macedonia, with a port on the Mediterranean and their present Principality. At this the Vowers 'grew uneasy, knowing the auiigry habits or the Bear, and fearing that he might eventually absorb this large mouthful of Eastern Europe. So four months later tihcy assembled in Berlin, and under the treaty of that name overthrew Russia's arrangement, leaving to the Bulgarians only that tract of country which now bears their name. The province of Eastern Roumania, as their south-eastern border, added itself to the Principality in IK8.") without any opposition from the Turks. On \..i Servia declared war.

"In six years the Russians had built and trained an army out of the Bulgarian peasantry, and the higher ranks —including company commanders—iwrre filled by Russian officers. Owing to the huff about the union of Roumelia, these are now recalled, and the young troops and their subalterns left to fight the Servians. -But tlrey soon showed themselves able to stand upon their feet and play tfke game. They drove the Servians headlong out of' Bulgaria, followed them into their own country, and chased them to death.

"Nowadays there are no Russian officers in this little amy, and in the 20 years since its baptism it baa developed at a most amazing rate. And so has the country. Parliament, Courts of Justice, ?ohools, national and nranicipal institutions—like infant prodigies —are marvels for their age. The peasant fawner is still a long way behind the times, bjit he is a hard worker, and improves his position year by year. The Bulgarians have an abundance of energy that, turned in the right direction, ■will take them far. but they are also immense talkers, and are filled mostly with an amount' of dramatic feeling that impels rather to declamation tnan execution. Still, by the light of what they have done one sees a prosperous ■fill lire for their country.'

Regarding tlio 1003 trouble hetween Bulgaria and Turkey Mr Booth says:— "Any harm tlio Bulgarians have done I to the Turks has bi-i-n a vengeance for fenerations of cruelty of a nature 1111guossed at by civilised people. In taking this vengeance in the only way open "to tkem the Bulgarians lave never, even in their worst moments, approached the barbarities of which certain classes of Turk* nr-.e been guilty. Not a single case of massacre, inutilagc, or outrage of woman or child has been •proved against the Bulgars. Whereas tlhe r<'Covd of the other side in these matters is too well known to need repeating. Perhaps it is not a Christian act to kill your oppressor, hut if there he any British Christian who would endure 'without retaliation one iota oi what those people have suffered, let liim judge them." ■ : MONEY' KINGS. HITTER ATTACK. In his latest novel, "The Moneychangers," Mr Upton Sinclair, autho of "The Jungle," which exposed th . method of the Chicago packers, an •'The Metropolis," has furnishe '• American readers with' a slarllin 1 mid pungent sensation. I lt« has chosen his character from !among the most noted financial magl nates of Wall Street, whom he depicts under fictitious names. But they are so thinly disguised that the country in fairly gasping with amazement n't the boldness of his attack. TV making of untold millions by methods stigmatised as "'glorious larceny" constitutes the. smallest of the crimes which t'he Socialist writer attributes to the, great captains of finance. They j are all accused of finding tlvcir chief j recreation in hunting down innocent women. One of the chief figures in the, novel is Stanley Kyder. president of the Gotham Trust Company. 'Pile plot of the story -hows how Waterman, a great financier, engineered the October panic hist Year, partly to wreck vengeance on Ryder, with Lucy Dupree. a charming young ■Vidow as prize, and partly to gain an excuse for taking over the "Mississippi Stvel Company." T/ucy Buprce has a fortune inherited from her father, and

Lucy still insists that the man suould ,be punished, and Montague then warns her. -You must realise the situation.
