success than they were a few days ago.

Bulgaria is also becoming restless and making demands of the Sultan,
threatening to revolt against him if he does not give them what they ask
for.

The Prince of Bulgaria has made a trip to Berlin to borrow money for the
war. And it is likely that the Sultan may soon have so many enemies to
fight that he will wish the Powers had allowed him to arrange the Cretan
matters for himself, without interfering and bringing this hornet's nest
about his ears.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.


With the summer coming on, inventions for swimmers are being brought
forward.

The WATER SKATE or shoe is to afford a new and very delightful
means of sport.

It is intended to be used when the swimmer is in the upright position
assumed in treading water. A swimmer can maintain this position for a long
time, but can ordinarily make no headway in the water.
