TURKISH TROOPS BURN VIL-
LAGES.
. Many inhabitants Murdered and Other
Crimes Committed.
PARIS, May lit—An oilicial des-
patch to the Foreign Oilice from Con-
stantinople confirms the reports that
Turkish troops have burned villages
throughout the Sassoon district of Ar-
menia, killing the. inhabitants. The
French ambassador. M. Consians, has
joined with the. Russian and British
ambassadors in sending consuls to Er.
zeruin, In the hope of limiting the de-
struction, and bloodshed. However,
the ofllcial advices, although brief. in-
dicate that the work of exterminating
the Armenians occupying the moun-
tainous district of Sassoun is practi-
cally accomplished. The Turkish
methods appear to have been much the
same as those adopted during the Ar-
menian massacres. The official re-
ports do not give exact details as to
the number of towns burned and peo-
ple killed. but they show that the. ac-
tion of the Turks has been sweep-
ing. The French authorities were ad-
vised some time ago that Turkey was
taking advantage of Russia’s pro-oc-
cupation in the far east and intended
to adopt a decisive course toward the
rebellious Armenians. The information
then showed that the Turks would be
gin thoswhrk, of suppression about
April“: In order to prevent this the
powers made an energetic protest.
This‘delayed Turkey’s action, which. .
however has now been executed with
the same sevérttr as at first contem-
‘ plated. . , - .

“SCOOT” SCOOTS 17 MILES.
The Consolidated Railroad Director‘
Purchases 3 Swift Auto-Boat.
W. l), Iiisbop. of the directorate of
the Consolidated railroad, has just pur-
chased of the Auto Boat company. of
West. Mystic. the high speed racing
launch “Scoot." The "Scoot" was de-
signed by C I). Holmes along different
lines from any other high speed boat
in the country, and her actual rocurtl
of .17 miles per hour over the Yale»
Harvard course at New London places
her among the fastest. bouts of her
size in the country, She also bears the
distinction of being the first positively
controled auto boat in America.
The Scoot is a perfect type of the
over-the-watcr boat, upon which prac-
tically all the auto boat builders are
working those. days. A striking char-
acteristic of the boat is that she utility
or lifts out forward nor squats aft,
but maintains exactly the same set on
the water at all speeds. which is an
exceptional performance for so short a
boat with such large power. 4
Her dimensions are: Thirty feet over
all. 28 feet on the water line, and 4
feet 4 inches extreme beam. Sbo is
equipped with a 16 horse power. 4 cy-
cle, 4 cylinder HasbrouCk motor. turn-
ing up to about 000 revolutions, and
weighing complete. with reverse cinch,
about 750 pounds, while the hull
weighs about 950 pounds.
Mr. Bishop's boat is not to be soon
here. but the “Scoot" is to be. shipped
to some Canadian point for lake use.
in addition to this launch for Mr.
Bishop the Mystic firm is building a
30mm boat for Judge W, K. Town-
send of this city, to be equipped with a
16-20 horse power, 4 cycle, 4 cylinder
luaRocbe motor at the Darracs pat-

PROF. ATWATER'S EXPERIMENTS.
Grant of Carnegie institute to Waste-
an University.
MIDDLETUWN. May 13.~——The grant
of the Carnegie institute to Wesleyan
University for use In the experiments
of Prof. W. O. Atwater with the res-
piration calorimeter has just been in-
creased by $7,000. The original grant
which was one of the earliest made by
the Carnegie Institute was $5,000. Very
elaborate experiments with the calori-
meter have been made by Prof. Atwat»
or under the original grant. and exact
measurements have been obtained of
the amount of oxygen used by the hu-
man body in respiration under different
conditions of work and rest. it is now
proposed to go more deeply into the
investigation. special improvements
having been made in the apparatus
which is now considered to be the most
satisfactory to be found in this country
or in Eitropetfor this particular line
of inquiry. All the food material and
the oxygen taken into the body are ac-
curately measured, as well as all the
excretions. and the energy developed
under different conditions of diet and
work are determined, even the latent
energy being thus measured. The ex-
periments with the improved appara-
tus thus far have proved very satisfac-
tory to the Wesleyan authorities.
several years experiments with the res-
piration calorimeter have been con-
ducted by Prof, Atwate‘r under the di-
rection of the U, S. government.
