OUTRAM HIGHLY ESTEEMED
Chief Of Bureau Attests to Worth of
Dead Friend.

"Convey assurance Of sympathy to
Mrs: Outram on the death of her hus-
band. He was an efficient observer
and loyal friend' That is the tele
gram received today at the Mime
apolls weather bureau from Willis L:
Moore, chief Of the weather bureau at
Washington. ~ .. r. - - =.
Attic Thomas Sidney Outram had
been failing for some time, and was nm
able to attend to his duties at the local
weather bureau for ten days past. the
fact that he was i'll was not generally
known by his friends, and the an
nouncement Of his death in TIL q
) u r yesterday came as a shock
TO many: Mr.. Outram was AZ years of
age, and for ten years had been in
charge Of the Minnesota section Of the
weather bureau as director. Charles A,
Kyle, observer, is temporarily filing
both the position Of director and o.
MIR. Outram was native Of New York
state. He entered the service of the
weather bureau in 1879. He came to
Minneapolis from Des Moines, and
previous to his work in that CITY was.
in charge of divisions at Hannibal. Mo.
and Omaha. Mr.. Outram was a much.
esteemed member of st. Marks Epis.
copal parish, and for four years had
served as treasurer for the vestry. He

BOOK PAPER men
FIRM NEW COMBINE
AGREEMENT rs EASY FOR FED
ERAL LAW.
Dealers Are Hit by New Organization
in that Standard Sizes and Weights
Have Been Changed, Compelling
Buyers to Pay More Money for
Smaller Sheets.

Book-paper. manufacturers are said
to have formed trade combination in
the last four weeks which is much
more amenable to the laws of the
country and which is much more vul-
nerable to federal prosecution than the
Inflated prlnt-paper trust. The law
violated by the action Of the paper
prohibits conspiracy.
The paper men have learned some
thing about federal attitude toward
trade combinations to set prices, and
as result Of a secret meeting in Chi
cago, "trade customs'' sheet has
been put out. Some Of the firms were
smooth enough not to sign the sheet
before mailing it, while others were
less cautious. s-+..
-. Only Two Mills Out.
The "gentlemen's agreement, as
the trade calls the new arrangement,
includes all but two mills. One Of
these, in Michigan, was not in opera
tion at the time Of the compact. The
other mill, in Wisconsin, does little but
"special'' work. The head Of the COM
bination is said to be a Springfield,
Mass, man. "'
Not 50 much exception would be tax.
en- to the alleged conspiracy were it not

cording to the mills, one state always
turning out admittedly inferior book
paper.
Attic the basis of size and weight
Of paper used constantly for the last
twenty-five years has been satisfactory
to the dealers, and apparently to the
manufact urers, under the new schedule
the dealer must buy more weight of
paper to the ream.
How It Works.
The superintendent paper heretofore
has been sold in sheets IS by SO inches
and 40 pounds to the 500 sheets. The
new basis is "a by 80 inches and IS
pounds. Machine finished paper has
been selling in rs by 3S-inch size, with
81 pounds to the ream; it is now "a by
80 inches, with 40 pounds weight.
In other words, paper is seven pounds
heavier than the basis used to be, and
for each pound the dealer pays 5 cents
more. It costs the dealer IS cents
more a ream for what he has always
been buying as standard. -.

FOUR-FOOTED BIRD
FROM FAR SOUTH
Property of Michigan Trav-

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Nav 80
Edward Morris Brigham, of this ,ity.
a well known South American traveller
has the only specimens in this country
Of rare bird that has attracted much
attention among scientific men. bee. use
II has four feet
Its scientific name is Opisthocoma
cristata. and is known TO the natives
as the cigana GYPSY
1t is so contrary to the accented or
der of things that a bird should have
four feet that the dis cOVcrv OF this
quadruPed bird was a surprise TO the
scientific men
AT Mouth of Amazon.
Mr- Brigham found these birds in the
interior OF the great island of Marajo
at the mouth Of the Amazon River.
This bird confirms the evolutionary
theory that birds descended from rep
lillian ancestors Many fossil birds
show marked reptilian characteristics
having teeth, etc The whole evoIu-
tiOrary process is shown I'm tho hatch
ing of the egg of the cigana.
The bird, progressing in its embryo
logical course, passes into it's rCptiliau
ancestral type, and before it's evolution
has carried it beyond the reptiIian
phase IL emerges from the egg as a
ouadruped animal hatched from an egg
laid by a twO-footed winged bird

claws.
Uses Claws to Climb.
For many days after hatching and be-
fore it is able to fly the young uses
these four claws to climb about the
bushes and trees. But fore feet are
pIFposelesS for an ordinary bird Then
the modification begins and the fore
limbs are developed into wings-the
final post natal result
The adult specimen. in size and gen
eral appearance resembles a pheasant
but of course Is no relation, as the
cigana is the sole survivor Of its
genus, Its family, its order. of which,
biologists have found numerous repre-
sentatfves in a fossil state.
Its geological range is quite limited
being found only along the margins
of the Amazon and the Orinocc. The
bird lives and perches upon the leaves
Of the amiga, large water plant with
heart-shaped leaves and calla-like
flower, varying in height TO twenty
feet The plant grows in masses on
low muddy margins of water courses
The cries uttered by the adult ciganas
are unlike those of any other birds, and
are so dOIeful and demOniacal that IL
sounds as if they were mourning for
all their extinct relations. These birds
are usually the most demonstrative in
the night
