BIRDS GET NEW NAMES.
English Substituted for Foreign
Titles OF South American
Fcathered Creatures.

Robert Ridgway, chief or1ithologist
of the Smithsonian institution, has
about completed the unusual task of
popularizing the literature of birds by
;nyenting pain and appropriate Eng
lishnames for some 5000 or more South
and Central American varieties that
have. of course. Spanish names, by
which they are known in the country
where they are common, and also
names of Latin derivation by which
they are known to science, but which
are destitute of plain English names.
Mr.. Kidgway takes the view that
English is now the dominant tongue,
and that as language it is becoming
more universal in its application every
day; so much, in fact, that the demand
for plain English terms in law, educa-
ton, science, ETC., has come to be felt
on every hand. He realizes that out
side Of small group of ornithologists
4ew people know or care to learn the
scis snti:ic names of birds of Greek or
Latin derivation, difficult of pronuE-
citation and impossible to remember.
wh=n pain English terms would serve
the purpose quite as well, and in the
book that he has prepared and which
goss to press soon, he has supplied this
want by employing English in place OF
scientific names for American birds.
This is the first time in the history
OF science shat such a thing was ever
attempted and the result will be
watched with interest by both Amer
lean and English scientists.

The Tariff discussed.

In the farmers national congress at
Macon. Ca. on Wednesday, the deliy-
cry Of an address on reciprocity by
Hon. John II. Campbell of Michigan
developed a wide divergence of opinion
on that subject among the delegates.
Mr. Campbell argued for protection to
foster agricultural interests and Incl
dentally the sugar beet growers of
Michigan. He asserted that the time
had come for farmers to combine and
through thorough organization secure
consideration of their needs and. the
enactment Of such legislation as would
protect them in their interests. He
favored an American market for Ame-
iican products under protection to
farmers, whereby American labor
would be the beneficiary. Delegates
from Ohio, Indiana, Georgia and other
States took issue with some of his ar
guments and his plea for protection
for the farmers. 1t was argued by
those delegates who took issue. with
Mr.. Campbell that the trusts were the
greatest menace to the farmer and
that the tariff was the fostering in
huence under which the trusts thrived
and fattened themselves at the ex-
pcnSe of the American consumer.

Look Out for the Coment.

II you have not seen the coment
and are at all anxious to locate it, the
following minute detailed description
Of it's position will greatly aid you: 1t
is understood that Thursday night the
comet was within five degrees north
west of Alpha. Of the constellation OF.
Swan. On October 10 it will lie near
to ten degrees of the star Vega, in a
southeastern direction. October y
will find it almost straight south Of
Vega, and on October II it will have
gone still fourther south and little
to the west Of that star. On october
IS the comet will be in the vicinity
of the bright star Of Beta Ophiochi,
and then it will pursue its journey to
the sun. The comet is moving so
rapidly that the vast distances it
traverSeS over the heavens are apt to
confuse the initiated observer unless
he watches closely and looks carefully
for it. Its path lies from the north
east in a general southwestern direc-
tion, which may be fixed by the
observation of certain prominent
stars in the great constellation OF the

It will cost the Atlantic Coast Line
S5O,O00,000 in cash and securities to
purchase the 3O6,0 shares Of Louis
vile & Nashville railroad. At / per
cent. this will amount to S2,000,-
900 a year. At the present divi-
dend rate Of 5 per cent. the in
come on the 306, 900 shares Of Louis
vile will amount to 81, $4,000. There
is accordingly an annual deficit OF
$4,000 if the present dividend rate
of Louisville s. Nashville is not ad-
vanced. The absorption of the Louis
vile & Nashville by the Atlantic
Coast Line creates new railroad
system, which in mileage, earnings
and situation will be one Of the most
powerful and extensive in the entire
country. The total mileage Of the
new system will be in excess of 10, 900
miles extending from Chicago and
Washington on the north to New
Orleans and Florida on the south, and
from the Mississippi river on the west
to the Atlantic coast on the east.

REMAINS OF MONSTER BIRD.
Valuable Discovery Made in sosehern
Part Of Argentine Republic
Larger Than the Dodo.

Brief information of the discovery
in Patagonia, or rather, of the south
ern part of the Argentine Republic,
of part of the remains Of an extinct
bird that, in size, outrivals any Of the
forms known to science, either living
or extinct, has just reached the chief
ornithologist Of the Smithsonian in
stitution, who regards the discovery
as one of the first importance. The
details thus far received are to the
effect that scientific party e1plor-.
ing along the eastern foothills of the
Andes range unearthed from the
strata of the tertiary age the skull OF
what they at first took to be a gigan-
tic bird of prey, but on subsequent
examination they unearthed other
parts that caused them to change
their first view and reach the conclu-
sion that the bird must have been
water fowl. The size of this extinct
bird, which the discoverers named the
"phorarachis," is, according to the
reports, something amazing, it having
been at least fourth larger than the,
"dodo" of Madagascar, bird now e1-
tinct, but which until the finding OF
this Patagonian monster held hrst
place for size in the list of birds hv-
ing and extinct. The government or
nithologists are anxiously awaiting
further details of this interesting dis
coyeTy.

Al WORK ON MESSAGE.
President Receiving Hearty Coopera-
tion OF Cabinet Members in Build
Ing the Document.

Members of the cabinet are prepar-
ino Ella aborate summaries Of the work
n their depa-tme nts. which are i'll
tended to be embodlec-at. least in
subsiance-in PesiGent Nooseve.ts
tirstannual messag sc, 10 be submitted to
congress next Dtce mber. Having come
into the Office of chief executive latel IN
the wear. as the result of a calamity
which OF course could not be foreseeD,
the president is entirely unfamiliar
with the details of the public work.
Only 4 little over two months remain
before the meeting of congress. and
so President Roosevelt requested the
members OF his ca binet 20 supplement
their various annual reports with com
preLensive summarize to be USED IN
the message, either verbatim or with
such condensation as may be neces-
sary.
President Roosevelt is ready and
forcibIe writer, and the preparation
of a message has no terrors for him so
far as mere literary workmanship
goes. He feels, however, according to
members of the cabinet, natural
difidence about making report upon
the work done by another and much
beloved president.
The fiscal year ended with July 1. and
President Roosevelt's actual admin
istration did not begin until after the
period of the usual annual reports. 1t
is believed therefore he will summar-
ize these reports to large extent. SO
far as relates to the history of the
.ast year. The president has already
begun sketching out the message and
he will have the summaries from the
different departments within short

Fits the Case.

In the absence Of more specific in
formation we must assume that the
monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee"
which failed to commend itself to the
Grand Army of the Republic at the
Washington meeting was that sug-
geSted by the Hon. Charles Francis
Adams in a college address this year.
Mr.. Adams, however. did not recon-
mend that the G. \. r., or even the
government Of the United States,
should erect a monument to the Con-
federate chieftain. He merely ventured
to declare it not improbable that in
the course of another generation a
monument to Robert E. Lee erected
by the people Of the United States
would rise in the city of Washington
and overlook his old home at Arling-
ton across the Potomac We think it
very likely that this prediction will
be fulfilled. Already the name OF
Lee has been chosen by a vote of rep
resentatiYe Americans for inscription
udon the Hall Of Fame to be erected
by private munifcence in New York
city. and it would be but another step
to dedicate monument to him IN
Washington. But this is a matter
for another generation, and members
Of the G. A. 4. are both insolent and
superserviceable in protesting now
against a monument to Lee. When
the permission Of this aggregation OF
politico-mendicant tax-eaterS shall be
desired for the performance of a work
Of patriotism and magnanimity it will
be Solicited-but not until then. AS
for the particular ass who asserted, in
plain view Of the Washington monu-
ment, that, ''our soil is too pure to be
used for the erection Of a monument
to any :rebel," it is only necessary to
notice him sufficiently to prove that
he is liar as we'll as fool. He as
serted that he was present when Joe
Johnston surrendered to Sherman and
had heard Wade Hampton there and
then swear that he would lead the
cavalry to Mexico before it should
capitulate. The war records show
that Hampton was not present at
Johnston's surrender-that befor the
surrender he left headquarters with
some of his men and was making his
way across South Carolina. The
above, Which We clip from The State
fits the case exactly.

Among other things Dr.. Loeb has
developed a theory that lions" are

way, are defined as substances simpler
than molecules, which fog many years
were considered the bases Of chemical
