R In understood that the porte remains tlrm with regard to Adrian ople and Kirk Ktliaaeh. hut is pre? pared to make concessions in other wuartera. Pierre Lotl. the French writer, un? der Constantinople date, sends The Daily Telegraph a vivid story of his impressions on visiting Adrlanople an4 the surrounding districts. Lotl says "The Bulgarians hitve made of Thrace a desert surpassing in abomi? nation everything I had been told and ell that 1 had imagined. With what fury have these Christian liberators worked In order to accomplish so oiuch destruction in a few months!" He descrit>ea orgies und masacres and violation and desecration in all the Turkish villages and asserts that Adrianople itself only escaped by a miracle because the '.'' r'.ts arrived a day earlier than was expected and so defeated the liulgartan plans for a fdmilar massro re there.

Sensational Reports Prom Texas und Oklahoma Offset influence of Scattered bhowcrs. New York, Aug. 24.?The net re? sults of the week's trading In cotton were an advance of 4 5 to 5 2 points. The high prices were made on Sat? urday and the low prices on Monday At the highest the trading months Wtre f>0 to 57 point! over last week's close; at the lowest they were 1:5 to 17 points under. The range was 67 to 71 points. The advancing tendency of the mar? ket was caused by continued weather in Texas and Oklahoma. Toward the end of the week sensational reports of deterioration through heat and drought came in and they more than offset the influence of the scattered showers that fell in the two States. I The situation in the West was com? plicated by the fact that while a gen? era! soaking rain was needed, such a rain would work great injury to the many thousands of ucres of open cot? ton in Texas. Little interest was displayed in anything but the weather. Bulls con-' tinned to muke claims of record breaking consumption and the week? ly statistics indicated continued large mill takings, the visible supply show? ing a decrease of 70,670 bales against a decrease this week last year of 27, 177 hales* and an increase this week two raaTl ago of 49,540. In the spot department prices closed unchanged, middling 12 1-16 against 12 1-6 last week and 11 11-16 this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 542 bales against yt*;. last week and 248 this week last \ year; sales to arrive amounted to 2544 bales against 104 last week and none this week last year.

ORGANS LIVE I? HOURS. I>r. Carrcll Maintains Functionating Processes Aller Aiiinuil Dies. Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute tor Medical Research, has devised a method by which he entire Visceral organism of an animal may be kept alive for many hours outside the body, so that the digestive and other functionating processes may be observed and studied, sa> s a I Jew York dispatch. These processes g<? on In the eviscerated organs just as they do in the normal animal. ?'1 began in June, 1912, to develop a technique by means of which Q sys? tem of organs could be made to live and functionate when separated from the other organs," Dr. Carrel writes in the Journal of Experimental Med? icine. "The method consists in removing aseptlcally the abdominal and thor? acic organs of an animal and in pre? serving the organs in an incubator at the temperature of 38 degrees centi? grade while the lungs are being arti? ficially ventilated. The operations werjc performed on cats and dogs, but more often on cats. "The dissection was performed with such care that the thoracic and ab- i dominal viscera remained united by j their blood vessels. They were then put In a tray containing a liquid called Ringers' solution at a temperature of' 38 degrees centigrade, in such a manner that the lungs lloated on the surface of the lluid and the heart , was suspended underneath in the' liquid. "The temperature of the Ringer so? lution was maintained constant by iheans of an electric pad placed under the tray, or simply by the addition from time to time of Ringer solution! at the right temperature, ordinarily the heart still pulsated slowly and regularly, but the blood pressure was low and the appearance of the organs anaemic. After a few minutes the blood pressure began to rise and in a few cases became almost normal. Generally it remained low, and some times the heart entirely (eased beat? ing. Then a transfusion was made from the cartoid artery of the first animal to the inferior vena cava, or? ganism, "The abdominal aorta pulsated vio? lently and strong pulsations could be seen in the arteries of the stomach, liver, kidney, intestines and even ol the ovaries. Peristaltic contract Ines of the stomach and of the intestine.-* were observed. The spleen, which was bluish, assumed Its normal ap? pearance. After a few minutes all the viscera were apparently normal. "Artificial arrangements were made for feeding the organism and for the resulting processes of secretion and elimination. Artificial respiration was carried on by means of an automatic electric apparatus pumping air into a tank, from which it was given to the lungs under proper pressure. "in one experiment In which the Stomach was full of meat at the time of death, digestion took place. "After live or six hours hypereuria (reddening) of the peritoneum of the j interline appeared. It seems as though ! a peritonitis developed progressively, and in some cases the intestines be? came paralyzed after eight or nine hours, although their circulation was still very active. Abundant hemor? rhage could Still be produced by sec? tion of a small branch of the mesen teric artery . Some of the visceral organisms died almost suddenly after three of four hours, but most of them were In a normal condition 10 and even 12 hours after the death of the animal to which the organs belonged. The death of the organism was an? nounced by some irregularities in the pulsation id* the heart, which was also weaker. Then the heart stopped sud? denly. In one experiment the death of the visceral organism occurred 13 1-4 hours after the death of the cat from which it was taken." - LYNClim R<- POSTOI PICIC ROR BK?.

Close Steady at Net Decline of tt to 11 Points. New York, Aug. 22.?The cotton market was extremely nervous and unsettled today, owing to reports of better weather in the Southwest, but a sharp break under heavy realizing was followed by a less active- busi? ness, and part of the loss was re? covered, with the close steady at a net decline of 'J to 11 points. Detailed weather reports showed no important precipitation in the Southwest, and Continued high temperatures for the 24 hours ending this morning, but the Official forecast confirmed private pre? dictions of showers or unsettled con? ditions, and many private wires were received reporting showers or rains at both Texas and Oklahoma points ?luring the afternoon. Liverpool was evidently influenced by the weather news, and prices there were considerably lower than due. The local market opened at S decline of 6 to 7 points in conse? quence, and quickly broke to a loss of about 1?) points on the active new crop months. The reaction proved sufficient to bring In quite s lot of buy? ing orders, which steadied the mar? ket only momentarily, in view of the improving weather news, and after a* rally of ?> to 7 points prices again eased e>ff with December contracts selling at 11.38, or 14 to 15 points net lower. ?
