New York, May 29.-Seven freight and coal piers of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western Railway, in Jer- sey City, were destroyed by fire that started about o'clock on Pier 12, in which lot of barrels of oil were stored.

 The fams swept across to Pier II and beyond, being finally checked at Pier 5. which IS new coal trestle. steel framed and iron-clad. Here the flre- men and fire boats made a desperate: stand and stayed the advance of the fire until the burning piers crumbled and fell into the water.
 Although there was but little wind, sparks all along the water front for the better part of mile endangered the Lackawanna depot, and even the Hamburg-American Line and Bremen Line piers. where the firemen were kept busy playing streams of water on the buildings and the ships at the docks
 The building of the Hoboken Coke Company, five blocks from the main fire, was set ablaze by burning brands. but the fremen responded quickly and the building was only slightly dam aged.

the Abundant Kinds.
 Washington. May 29.-The ornitholo- gists of the Department of AEricul- ture have been making an investiga- ton of the economic value of the Bob White. as a result of which it is now announced that that bird Is probably the most useful of the abundant apo- cies of the farms.
 Experiments and examinations show that 1t consumes large quantities of weed seeds and destroys many of the worst insect pest with which farms contend and it does not injure grain. fruit or any other crop. It is figured that from September 1 to April 30 an- nually, in Virginia alone. the total con- sumption of weed seed by Bob Whites amounts to 573 tons. Some of the pests which 1t habitua1ly destroys. the report says, are the Mexican cotton boil weeviAs3 which damages the cotton crop upwards of $15,000.O00 year; the potato beetle which cuts off Sl0,000.- 900 from the value of the potato crops the cotton worms, which have been known to cause $30.000.000 loss in q year: the chinch bug. and the Rocky mountain locust, scourges which leave desolation in their path and have caused losses to the extent of s100. .000,- 900 in some years. The report urges measures to secure the preservation of the Bob Whites in this country.

Washington. May 2s.-In a report is- sued by the Department of Agriculture, Herbert J. Webber, in charge of the plant breeding laboratory, estimates that the production of long staple up- land cotton in 1903 in the United States reached nearly 105.00o pounds. and says the growing of this variety of cot ton can best meet the demand for long staple fine spinning cotton. Their production. the report says@is capable of almost unlimited extension, and with the different varieties now known. all ranges of length of staple from 1 1-4 to 5s inches can be provided. The, report says they probably are better adapted to cultivation in this country than any of the sea island or Egyptian kinds.
