Birds strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. II. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color
OF the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At q recent meeting
Of the American Ornithologists' Union
he proved by experiments that an OBJ
ject nearly OF the color OF the ground,
like a potato, Is very conspicuous when
placed a few inches above the soil
and viewed from a little distance. But
when the under side is painted white,
and gradually shaded into the color OF
the upper part. the object disappears
by blending with the ground; the
whiteness beneath counteracts the ef-

COOL UNDER
SENTENCE,
Barnes Was UnmOved on
Hearing His Doom.
HANGING THE PENALTY.
He Was Convicted OF Killing Farmer
Dean With an Axe.
INSANITY WAS HIS DEFENCE.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. .. 2.-Lorenzo
w. Barnes, Maynard woodchopper, was
sentenced to be- hanged March 4, 1898, for
the murder OF John Dean. an aged farmer
of Maynard, by Judge Sherman, in the
superior court at East Cam bridge today.
The prisoner received the sentence very
coolly and was taken back to jail. Barnes
Is q cripple and in course of his defense
the question as 20 Barnes mental respon-
sibility was raised and it is understood
application will bc made to the governor
for executive clemency on these grounds.
John Dean. the victim OF the murder
for which Barnes was sentenced today,
was found dead in his home at Maynard
December IL. 1896. He was 75 years OF
age but was able to look after the inter
ests OF his farm. His body was found by
his daughter upon her return from work
on the day OF the murder. IL lay on the
kitchen floor and the face and head were
terribly mutilated. Close by the body lay
an axe covered with blood, which, it APP
peared, had bsen the instrument of the
murder.
Barnes had been seen in the vicinity OF
Deans place about the time when the
murder was supposed TO have been COM
mitted The police soon had evidence
which they considered of sufficient weight
to warrant the arrest OF the woodchopper.
When searched considerable money was
found in the possession OF Barnes and
two receipted coal bills bearing the name
Of John Dean were found in the pris-
oner's rubber boots
Barnes told the officers that he found
the money and bills in the road, near
Deans house. After the trial. Barnes
was found guilty OF murder in the first
degree in spite of the efforts of his coun-
sci to show that the defendant was in
sane. Experts testified that ne was cap
able of distinguishing between what was
right and what was wrong.
barnes accepted the verdict against him
very coolly. his counsel at OeEoe filed a bill
or exceptions and the matter was argued
before the supreme court in Boston, but
the exceptions were overruled and De
cember was designated as the date for
sentence to be pronounced. Judge Sber-
man accordingly took that step in the
proceedings today.
