michigan Prisoners Keep Them For Com.
fort and Raise Them For Profit.
Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than tll0ss of
almost any other penitentiary in the
United States, aud it is the belief of the
management of the institution that for
this reason there are fewer outbreaks of
lawlessness than are found elsewhere.
Among the favors granted to them here
is that of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully 600 fcathered songsters
in Michigan's principal penal i1lstitu-
ton, all owned and cared for by the
tohvicts. and as soon as daylight APP
proaches on bright mornings their sweet
notes are heard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings of their owners.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
who from their general appearance and
history would not be expected to care
for anything Of refining nature, ten
derby care for and earess their little pets.
More than three-quartets Of the cells
i'll the prison contain one Or more ca
naries, and they arc also found in vari.
Gus shops throughout the Institution.
During the day the cages are hung ont
side the cells to give the birds light and
air, but as soon as the convict returns
from work at night the cage is taken
inside.
This practice has been car.ied on in
the prison for years, and the officials
say that instead of any detrimental eff
feet being noticeable the little songsters
have proved benefit, as they not only

Ages of French Actresses,

An nngallaht writer in the French
press, M. Yv6-Plessis. has been CRITICS
ing the accounts given Of the ages OF
actresses aud operatic singers in a little
work called "Nos Artistes. " In all
cases the dates given have been fur
nished by the ladies themselves. M.
fve-Plessis has gone to the records of the
Conservatoiro for his facts. At the time
young people go to study there, they
have no motive for concealing their ages.
and there the records remain.
The conclusion one arrives at is that
there is hardly one actress in Paris who
can he trusted to be quite accurate re-
specting her age. Some take off only
one year, like Mile. Reichemberg. the
little "doyenne" of the Theatre Fran.

Deaths From Snake Dites.

The subject Of the prevention of death
from snake bite is one which has for
many years past engaged the attention
OF the government of India. The annual
reports are interesting, but far from
pleasant reading. In 1891 the mortal
lty under this head was no fewer than
1883; in 1892 it had fallen to 49,.
025; IN 1898 it rose again to 21.213.
In other words, in 1899, out of every
ll,630 persons in India, one died of
snake bite; in 1898, out of 10, 424.
The fluctuations are probably acct.
dental, but the state of affairs is real and
deplorable enough. OF the total NUM-
Der of deaths, almost exactly one-half
occurred in Bengal, no., 1917; next

A Maple Dies of sunstroke.

In the last number of Meeban 5
Monthly the editor tells of being sum
moned to hold an inquest over dead
sugar maple tree. 1t was supposed to
have been destroyed by leak III tho
city gas main, near its roots. but an ex-
animation convinced Mr.. Meehan that
the tree had died literally from sun
stroke.
This maple had been planted on the
street about 20 years and was some
four feet in girth. The trunk, how
ever, instead of being cylindrical, was
shaped like a triangular prism, pecul-
iarity owing to the fact that on three
sides OF 1t the inner bark and wood had
been killed, while the outer bark con
tinued to cover up the injury, so that
the only living wood was at the angles
of the trunk. Practically, no more than
one third of the surface CT the trunk
was alive, and when the exceedingly
warm weather of last month came the
limited number of ducts were not suffi-
cient to supply the moisture needed 70

large a surface of foliage; consequently
the leaves wilted and the tree died.
Whenever the trunk of tree takes ON

in the general assembly from Jefferson county, and his election to the office was strongly opposed on the ground that he being a member of the legislature, and the court a creature of the legislature, he was therefore ineligible His cleo tion was approved by Governor Oates. and he qualified immediately, and has been presiding over the court to the present time.
 About two months ago MT. c. F. En- slen, alderman from the Third ward, sued out a writ quo warranto in the circuit court requiring Judge Montgom- cry to show by what authority he held the office. The defendant demanded a jury, and after special sessions of the court in which the case was argued Judge Banks gave the general charge for the petitioner and declaring the de- fendant ineligible to hold the office. An appeal was then taken to the supreme court with the result above stated.
 There seems to be some question as to who has the authority to fill the vacancy created by the decision of the courts Some claim that Judge Greene of the criminal court of Jefferson county has the right, while others contend that that power lies with the governor.

A LATER ACCOUNT
Of the Explosion at Fall River Puts the Dead al Four, Missing Three and h.
 ured Four.

Fall River. Mass, June 14.-A eatas.- trophe which created the greatest ex- citement in this city since the Granite mill fire occurred this morning at the Langley Loom harness shop, on County street, a three-story wooden building owned by Henry l. Langley.
 A fifty-horse power boiler exploded in the rear part of the basement blowing out the sides of the building. knocking away the supports and allowing the up- Der floors to settle into a mass of ruins Fire started in the ruins and began to burn briskly. The firemen made heroic efforts to rescue the imprisoned working people, of whom there were seventeen Shrieks from the girls in the ruins were mingled with the agonized cries of their friends, who had hurried to the scene when the first news of the catastrophe spread. Ambulance calls were sent out hurriedly and every physician who could be reached was sent at once to the scene The offices and the houses in the vicinity were turned into temporary hospitals At o'clock the badly eharred and scarcely recognizable body of a woman was hauled from the ruins. The fire had then been quenched, but 1t was still smouldering and the work of rescuing could go on only with difficulty. Up to noon the work of search and rescue was carried on amid great excitement and
  sons had been killed, three more were missing and four had been seriously in- jured The killed are:
 Lelle Horton, aged IT.
 Adele Dube, aged IS.
 Robert Murray aged 21.
 Adolph Bellefeuille, aged 30
 The missing are:
 Angelina Mccoy.
 August Senecal.
 Philip Smith.
 The injured are:
 Thomas Barry, aged 15.
 Matte Desroches.
 Joseph Mutual.
 Mary Partridge.
 Two were probably fatally injured and of the missing ones little was known at noon. The first reports said thirty had been killed, and 1t was not until the list had been given out by the bookkeep- CT that anything definite could be de- termined.
 The explosion shook every building within Q half mile. It wrecked the Staf- ford mill windows on the east side and in less than three minutes every opera tive was out of the building. There is a great deal of wreckage among the mill machinery The force of the explosion was enough to send bricks through the whole width of the mill from the east to the west side. The boiler was torn apart in the middle and the furnace part was blown into the building. The narrow escapes were numerous and marvellous. It is quite certain that several deaths at least will result.
 MT. Langley says the boiler was only three and a half years old
