QUARTER OF HOUR
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Four Currents Required to
Kill Murderer.
NO UNPLEASANT SCENES
Doctors Profit by Former Experience
Nose johnson Pays Penalty
of Crime.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1S.-Mose
Johnson. colored. was executed at 12:20
this morning.
The victim was in the chair for
eighteen minutes. During that time the
current was TUNED into him four times.
While the electrical apparatus did not
cause death instantly, as in cases prior
10 the execution OF Schiller Thursday
night, the scenes enacted were not re-
Deated.
Profit by Experience.
The doctors prohted by their expert
ence of Thursday night and rather than
be compelled to place the prisoner Lack
into the chair after ne was declared
dead. they waited a sufficient length of
time 20 prove conclusively there was not
a spark OF life in the body.
Heretofore, the physicians have relied
upon their own ears to learn II there
were heart beats. On this occasion Tho
stethescope was brought into use. After
the first charge that instrument reveal
ed faint pulsations.
No one can give an adequate explana-
ton of the failure Of the current 10 do
deadly work in the first charge. as Is
usually the case. The only cause des-
cribed is that the men were Of strong
resisting power.
Johnson's Crime.
Nose Johnson was convicted of the
murder Of Edward Test. an insurance
/ agent in Portsmouth. Ohio. on the night
o. October II. 1903.
Test had gone to the residence of Mrs.
Sarah Collum TO collect the premium
on an insurance policy. Johnson and a
man named Rufus Burcham. mistak-
ing Test for a friend OF Mrs. Collum
broke into the house and attacked him.
A fierce truggle ensued.
Test was stabbed five times. He was
begging his assailants to spare his life
J when Johnson fired two shots into his
back and left him to die.
Burcham Is serving a life sentence.

VANISHING ISLAND.

Mysterious Land Appears nnG Disap-
pears In ,trar-7e Manner.
One of the most curious islands in
the world is one known on tie charts
as Falcon island. II is curious from the
fact that it appears and reappeals at
ner aud has been doing this ever since
1883, when it was first taken posses
sion of and charted.
This island is one of the Tonga group.
and when in 1855, England took pos
session of it her officers found it crowd
ed with palm trees and tropical vcgc-
tation. The highest bluff was some la3
feet above the sea level. and on this the
union jack was planted. But only Il
year later the island had disappeared. d.
The cliff was represented by a low
lying, dangerous reef, and there was
not the remotest sign Of vegetation.
For thus making away with itself Fal-
con island was speedily wiped off the
charts.
But in 1892 a French man-of-wAr re-
discovered it and duly planted the tri-
color flag thereon. At that time Falcon
island afforded for the planting of the
flagstaff cliff twenty-five feet high at
the southern end (the bluff mentioned
above was at the northern end, and it
was covered with a growth of green
bushes and ferns. But Falcon island
did not behave any better with its new
posscssors than with England, for in
April 1894, it had again done the vHa
ishing act only streak of reef remain
ing
About Il year later the Toagan gov
ernment took it in hand and Went to
find Falcon island. They did find it
with a vengeance, for when they ar
rived they found an island with bold,
steep sides. the highest point being
fifty feet a"ove sea level. 1t was taken
possession of in the name of King
George of Tonga and formed part of
his possessions until 1897, when it
again disappeared, apparently for good
that time. for since then, unless it has
reappeared quite recently it has not
been heard of.--New York Commercial

Nerld to Trap.
Probably the great condor is the most
difficult bird in the world to trap. One
of the great vultures, it nhabits lofty
peaks Of the Andes. hardly accessible
to man. 1t builds its nest among the
topmoSt cragS. often on a ledge of some
precipice with an almost perpendicular
drop of many hundred feet.
An extremely wary bird, it shares
with its congencrs the proverbial "ea-
gle eye" and is thus able to see i'm
menSe distances while yet unseen by
man. Its wings have spread of
twelve feet. and, though its flight is
heavy, il can sustain itself for long pc
riodS i'll the air.
TO trap it men ascend to its nauntS
and shoot sol:ie animal of considerable
size. This is skinned. and Il man lies
down ny tie body untier the skin and
waits perhaps for hours. Soon con-
dors come hoelsin. round until one set
ties on the S.iin. When tire man below
grips It's logs tj!i@S the skin over it
and Stahs il to death,
The strength Il these birds is cnor-
nous, and the condor hunters often
have their arms beot;en by strokes
from their powerful wings.
