REob Used Dynamite.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May7, 1694.-A mob
numbering from two hundred to five hun
dred went to Prices mines at Horse Greek
last night at midnight and blew up the boil
ers and other mine machinery with dyna-
mite and fired one hundred shots into the
company's store and houses. No one was
hurt The mob then went to the Victoria
mines and blew up several freight cars
loaded with coal and turned others loose
down the mountain, wrecking them. Sher-
if Cutlery of Walker County and strong
posse have gone to the scene of the trouble
but the mob have left. It is believed
they have gone to other mines to
commit like depredations. The cause of the
trouble is that the miners at Horse
Greek refuse to Join the strike The
strikers have threatened themselves seveaal
times. Great excitement prevails in Walker
county, and Governor Jones has been APP
pealed to for protection.
The petition will not contain any threat,

THE death of Lord Justice Cole
ridge recalls some circumstances
growing out of his visit TO Chi
cago several years ago, when he wa
given a banquet by leading mem
bers Of the Chicago bar, and when he
gently but firmly intimated that the
gush about the greatness of the self
putting Anglo-Saxon was not alto
gether pleasing to him. The fact is,
as it was then pointed out, Coleridgt
was more Celt than Saxon. He wa,
proud of the fact, as are most of the
West Country English, particularly
those OF Deyonshire and Cornwall
He maintained that the British civ.
ilization was Celto-Saxon rather than
Anglo Saxon, and he inspired q
notable array of young literary men,
including Conan Doyle and Qulller.
Couch with that idea. That inspi'
ration has also had its effect In the
later writings of Thomas Hardy, and
R D. Blackmore. Lord Coleridgt
himself possessed literary abilities Of
q high order. His tribute to q po
litical opponent-Lord Iddesleigh-
printed a few years ago in Macmil.
lan's Magazine, is regarded as an
English classic. Other contribution
are also OF high literary merit.

Where the Largest Birds Have Lived.

The countries south of the equator
furnish fossils of the largest bird
forms that have been developed on
the earth. New zealanl, Australis,
Madagascar, and South America, max
ing the circuit of the globe, with great
intervening stretches of ocean, all.
present fossils Of the various families
Of these great bids, attaining in New
Zealand a height of some ten to twelve
feet, and in Madagascar a height Of
considerably greater. During the first
settlement OF New Zealand by Euro
peans the bones still lay scattered in
great quantities on the surface, and
were also found imbedded in the
marshes where, for some cause or
other, the birds had huddled together
by the hundreds.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
none of these huge birds were flyers.
Some, in fact, were wingless. They
are interesting as illustrating the limit
to which the principle of flight is car.
ried in the application of nature, as
she could neither concentrate the mus.
cular wing force necessary to flight,
nor combine wing material to stand
the necessary beating of the stmos-
phere in aerial propulsion.
The still existing emu, cassowary
and ostrich, representatives OF the
largest bird life, have wings to aid
them as runners, but they are all ut.
terly incapable of flight. These an.
cient birds, known as moas and whose
families are known as Dromornis, tho
Espyornis and Bronternis, have no
fair modern representatives, and in
common with myriads of other life
forms, seem to have met, in some mu.
tation OF nature, sudden aud universal
death. 1t is a curious fact that while
these were strictly land birds their
distribution extended around the
earth, while their habitats where sep.
arated by vast expenses of ocean If
we may assume that the Southern con.
t%inents were nearly OF quite con 1sct.
ed, when the area between the Rocky
and Appalachian Mountains MAS tho
Mississippi Sea, prior to the rush OF
waters southwark, then this distribu.
ton problem around the Southern
hemisphere solves itself. -Pittsburs

THE case of Erastus Wlman is =
sad, e very sad one. But a few short

business for the firm with which he
was connected 70. some thirty years,
which had grown up under his man
agement, and with which he was
identified as the heart and soul OF
the enterprise. 1t is not for those
who believe justice to the wrong
doer Is the truest mercy to the whole
people to say It would have been bet

under the circumstances. He had q
perfect right to do so, and probably
argued he was only fulfill ng a duty

who had built up his business from

Of the facts that the abject letter

the clinchlng proof of guilt, that
without 1t he might not have been
convicted, and that he claimed 1t wa,
