The Copyricht Law.

(From the San Francisco Chronicle.)
The New York Herald. since with
drawing its suit against the Chronicle"
for alleged infringement of copyrighted
news has published an announcement
that it does not object to the reproduc
ton of it's news DISPATCHES on the fol-
lowing day. provided due credit is given
to the Herald. but ii protests against
their publication in any paper on the
same morning in which they appear in
the Herald. From THE we infer that our
New York contemporary has been in
vestigating the matter or copyrighting
facts and has come TO the conclusion
that it's position is not so strong as 1T
at first imagined ii was. The permis
sion to print on the ensuing day is in the
nature of an admission that it is a man.
ifest absurdity to assume that because
a newspaper gains knowledge of a fact
in advance of its contemporaries, or by
some meaSs or other secure possession
Of an important document, by paying
dollar as a copyright fee 1t can enjoy
the exclusive privilege of disseminating
the information Ii has acquired for the
period of twenty-eight years. Our con-
temporary after little further inves-
tigation will find that its position is
made no stronger by its proposal to al
low papers to print its copyrighted facts
after the lapse of a day. II the law does
not give 1t monopoly for twenty-eight
years Ii does not do so for twenty-fouT
hours AS matter of fact, ii does not
afford protection for three minutes, the
lawmakers never having designed to ex-
tend the privileges of the copyright law
to publishers to enable them 10 enjoy
monopoly of the dissemination of news.
The copyright law is what 1t purports
to be on it's face; it is merely a protec-
ton to that sort of property which may
be properly termed a product of the in
tellect. 1t is not intended 10 cover news.
There can be no ownership in a fact once
made public. The instant q piece of
news is related 1t ceases to have prop
erty value. Nor can Ii be urged by the
Herald that it suffers an injury by the
republication of piece of news In pa
per printed at a distance of over 1900
miles from it's sphere OF circulation A
newspaper on the Pacific Coast does the
Herald no more harm In reproducing one
of it's news items than our New York
contemporary does harm to the London.
Paris Berlin, Viennese. Roman and 9TH
er European publications when it draws
news from them as III does every day in
the week. 1t Is thepbusjness Of newspa-
pers to take facts where they find them
and pass them along. 1t Is a business
the Herald has followed for years by
copying from European papers, which 1t
is enabled to do because the difference
in time is In its favor. and exercising a
similar privilege is not likely to sue
ceed.

notice them. Yet to these men the diff
ference is as great as that between the
sound of French and English. A really
first-class gunner Will sit in a creek in
August and call the birds up, if within
hearing and inclined to move. in any
order you like to name Even such
closely allied birds as the curlew and
the whimbrel have different notes.
though, as they ara so often associated
on the marshes, one species Will often
answer to the cali made by the other,
probably in the expectation of finding
some of It's own tribe in the same place.
1t is not a little surprising that these
different birds, most Of which feed in
company. should not have learned a
common "all-fowls' tongue but they
have not.
We once saw a large mixed flock Of
gray plOver. knots and stints flying
past on the muds. at a distance Of some
ninety yards. \ gunner noticed that
there were two or three golden plOver
among them. These are easy to call.
and all fowl are more likely 10 answer
TO the call when only two or three OF
the same species are together. The gun
ner. therefore, whistled the golden plOv-
ers' note. and from the big flock OF
some sixty birds the pair Of golden
pIovers instantly flew out, wheeled
round. and passed within fifty yards.
answering the call in their own
language Perhaps the best instance
Of the dexteTity Of the gunneTs in learn
ing bird language was recently record
ed in the Westminster Gazette. 1t is
credited to a fowler who shot the only
specimen of the brOad-billed sandpiper
ever killed in Norfolk. When down on
the muds listening to the notes of the
shore birds he distinguished one which
bird answered, flew up to him and was
shot.
1t does not follow that talkative, gar
rulOus species really have more to say
to one another than others. Like other
chatterbOxes they like to hear them
selves and do not listen to other peO-
pie. StarlingS. for instance. which
seem almost to talk, and certainly can
initiate other birds when engaged in
their curious song" which seems 50
like a conversational variety entertain
ment. are all the time enjoying mon
ologue. No other starting listens. On
the other hand. starlings, when they
have anything to say. as when nesting
or quarrelling for places when going 10
rOost. use quite different notes. OF all
bird voices the song of the swallow Is
most like human speech-nOt our
speech but like the songs which the
Lamp or such Outlandish races sing.
A Lapp woman sings song just like
that of a swallow at dawn. Yet the
swallows seem really to say little or
nothing to one another. and never come
to each others call. But the varieties
of bird speech. and the possibilities OF
interchange of ideas. are very great.
III. for instance, there is any real foun-
dation for the stories of the rOok trials
and stork trials, speech must play a
considerable part in the proceedings
