Short of Sunshine.

Sunshine is so rare in England that
the Government takes great care to
measure it. The official summing up
for 1903 as regards sunshine shows that
all districts in the British Isles, with
one exception, fell short of the average.
The exception was England northwest,
including Manchester that curiously
had an excess of fifty-seven sunny
hours. In Scotland north, west and
east the deficit was 81 hours, 4S hours
and 133 hours. England northeast and
east were short by 107 hours and 139
hours, while in England south and
southwest the deficit was 6S hours and
lis hours. The midlands were behind
by 98 hours. In Ireland north and
south the shortage was 81 hours and
113 hours. Commonly the islands in the
English Channel have large share of
sunshine, but last year they were 1873
sunny hours short.

CLAIM ROMAN
IS A PER]URER
Leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners De-
nounce His Confession
CAN PROVE AN ALIBI
Men Named as Members
of Dynamiting Gang Not
in District at the Time

DENVER, Sept 1o.lThe leaders Of
the Western Federation of Miners de-
clare that the alleged confession of
Robert Roman, the ex-convict. now
under prison sentence at Topeka, Kas.,
duplicating union leaders in two disas-
trous explosions in the Cripple Creek
district, contains many allegations
which can easily be refuted.
According to Romans confession"
said William D. Haywood. secretary of
the federation, Davis, Kennison and
Parker. members Of the Cripple Creek
District Union Executive Committee,
were with him in Cripple Creek on
June when, as he says, the final ar
rangements were made for the Inde-
pendence depot dynamiting. AS a mat
ter Of fact, the three union leaders
named were in Denver from May % to
June s, attending the annual conven-
ton of the federation.
Roman says that Mckinney was
one of the leading conspirators. The
absurdity of this statement must be
apparent to any one who Will consider
that Mckinney is the man who made
fake confession regarding the alleged
conspiracy to wreck the Florence &
Cripple Creek train.
Roman was either hired to make
this confession or he is working a
bunko game on the Colorado authori-
ties with the object of escaping term
in the Kansas penitentiary for the
burglary he committed in Topeka 1
predict that he will not be brought
back to Colorado, but that our oppo-
nents will use his statement as con-
elusive evidence that the federation
planned and perpetrated the dastardly
crime at independence"

PROTECTION FOR BIRDS
WANTED IN THE SOUTH
They Are Needed to Destroy Insects,
but Have Been Ruthlessly
SIauOhfPred

Year after year efforts have been
made to secure legislation in the South
ern States that would protect bird life,
but only one or two of the States have
taken any steps to protect non-game
birds and songsters. When such bills
have been introduced they have been
laughed out of court as "bull-bat
bills" or something equally frivolous.
And yet "bull-bats" are among the
greatest of insect destroying birds.
Mocking birds, desirable alike for their
sect-destroying capacity and their
delightful songs, have been almost ex-
terminated in many sections. Red
birds and thrushes have become rare.
No species of birds seem to be really
thriving except the English sparrow,
which is a town-dweller, sand does no
body any good. Maybe the appearance
of the boil weevil in Texas and the
threat of it's liability to spread over
the whole cotton belt in the course Of
a few years will awaken the legis-
lators to the Importance Of taking i'm
mediate steps for the protection of
song and non-game birds, and maybe
it would be a good idea to remember
also the Sharmless snakes and the
toads.-Savannah News.

osmon. che New Combustible.

A new form of combustible, known
as "osmon," has been lately produced
in Europe from raw peat. OF the 80
per cent water which the peat contains
from 20 to % per cent is eliminated by
an electrical process. A direct current
is passed through the mass Of the peat,
contained in a suitable tank. Under
the action of the current the water col
lects at the negative pole and flows out
by openings in the side of the vessel.
In carrying out the process the invest
ors use from ten to twelve kilowatt-
hours a cubic yard of raw material.
The process lasts about an hour and a
half The electrically treated peat is
then dried in the ordinary way and re-
duced to smaller pieces in a crusher.
It is delivered to the trade in the form
of balls or briquettes. The heating
power of the new product is consider
able. No trace Of sulphur is found and
it does not smoke or leave much cinder.

curious AustraIian Bird.

There may now be seen in the Zoo
logical Society's eastern aviary a spec
men Of a curious Australian bird
known as the frog-mouth. 1t is a queer
looking bird, and with it's mottled
plumage and quaint postures it has
rather the appearance of an old tree
stump, as it stands motionless on it's
perch. 1t is of nocturnal habits and
if disturbed during the day it takes
its heavy flight to a neighboring perch,
and Immediately drops off to sleep
again. One of the most characteristic
features Of this bird (podargus) is its
enormous mouth. It's great round eyes
give it something Of the look of an
owl, which, indeed, in other respects,
it closely resembles. 1t feeds upon
small birds, mice. insects. etc.-Pall

sault with intent to commit murder
The complaining witness is Isidor
Starr, who occupies the upper fiat of
the Zoe-street house. He claims he
heard a great disturbance in Wilzin-
skis apartments and went in to find
out the cause of the trouble. Wilzin-
ski ordered Starr out, threatening to
chop his head off. AS Starr was re-
treating Wilzinski fired shot at him.
The bullet went through the window
of house on the opposite side of the
street and narrowly missed striking
the head of a child.

and specie into Samoa in the year
1903 amounted to $63S,174, an in
crease of $67,424 over those of 1902.
in which year the total imports were

from Samoa show a decrease of $73,-
las in 1903, in a total Of $329,512; in

value of the exports of other products.
