/ ed an order creating the Tern Is
lands Bird reservation. This is the
eighth reservation for birds created
by the president. 1t embraces all the
mud Jumps" so called, in and near
the mouths of the Mississippi river.
The mud Jumps" are islets more or
less temporary, and created chiefly by
sedimentary deposits from the river.
They seldom exceed an acre in size
and are elevated from five to eight
feet above high tide. They are occu-
pied during the breeding season by
large numbers of brown pelican and
other terms. Many thousands of the
verious species breed in these places
every year.
These islands are useless for COM
mercial or agricultural purposes and
are reserved to protect the birds. The

NO FOOLISH LATIN ON
STATUES, SAYS WILSON

WASH1NGTON.-Plain, everyday
W barnyard English, and no high.
falutin' Latin for Tama Jim Wilson.
The secretary of agriculture has given
rude shock to the sculptors who
heretofore have been wont to embel-
fish architecture and allegorical de-
signs and inscriptions suggesting lin
guisitc association with the old mas
tiers and the classics. He has even
gone so far as to compel the stone
cutters to rechisel the inscriptions on
the new agricultural building, the
wings of which have been constructed
ahead of the main portion.
The new home for the department
which, when finished will have cost
about 100000, is now nearing COM
pletion, and the secretary is taking
as much interest in it's progress as
though it were designed for a country
home for himself.
On the north shore are four pedi-
ments, in each of which are a male
and female figure, seated with
shield between them. On these shields
are inscribed the four words "Fruc-
tus," "Cereales," Forestes" and
Flores"

JAMES J. HILL TELLS OF NEEDS,

New York, Aug. 30.-James J. Hill,
in an interview here last night said:
What We need most just now is a
clear head in charge Of the nations af-
fairs and steady hand at the helm
do you believe, Mr.. Hill was asked,
that clear head and a steady hand
are guiding the country's policy at

those who have the power to make
investments to regard good securities
with more favor it will be necessary
to restore confidence How can that
be done? I can't say how. Every
man probably has his own opinion of
that subject. I don't view the situa-
ton with any alarm. I should think
prices are at about the lowest. I
don't see how they can go much
lower"

In glancing at them and in looking
at the photographs that had just been

Doctor, what do these words mean?
'Fructus,' what on earth is that?"
why, that's Latin for fruit, and the
others mean cereals, flowers and for

DR.. Galloway closed the incident by
remarking that it was just as we'll to

Latin word as forests" anyway, and
that, at least, would have to be
changed.

Effect Of Lightning on Air,

The slightly pungent odor notice
able in the air after a particularly
close fash of lightning is not sulphur
but ozone. Ozone as modification
of oxygen which contains three atoms
of oxygen to the molecule, while or
binary oxygen only contains two. One
way of obtaining ozone is to subject
oxygen or air electric discharges and
the action that takes place when a
fash of lightning passes through the.
air is exactly the same. The change
from oxygen to ozone is nothing but
the Encouragement of the atoms in
the molecule; yet ozone has number
of properties which are absent in
oxygen, due to the readiness with
which it parts with it's extra atom of
oxygen to combine with other sub
stances,

the old-fashioned pancake caps. These
caps are said by all seamen to be USE
less on windy day, as they cannot
be kept on the head. They give no
shade to the eyes and seem to exist
merely as a relic of the past.
The protest over the blouse is con-
sidered justified. In the first place
the seamen object to the wide collar
which blows up around their ears on
windy days. They want shorter neck
erchiefs and coats cut like those Of
the marines.
Should the sailors demands be
granted seamen we'll wear coats for
the first time in the history of the
American navy. The proposed
changes would affect the 10000 sea-
men in the navy and would entail
large outlay. 1t is believed that a
change in the trousers will not be
made at once, but that the tars will be
supplied with coats and visor caps.

How Roses Took Their CoIors.

How Roses Took Their coIors.
1.-THE roose in his radness is richest

poets. The legends generally assume,
however, that roses were originally
white. But one day Cupid, who, we
know, hath oft disturbed life's wine.
upset the nectar Of the gods, spilling
it over some roses, and Immediately
their petals were stained red, says
the Circle.
According to another story, roses
were white until Venus stepped upon
a thorn, and her blood stained her
favorite flower.
This last tradition lives in Sponsors
verse:
"White as the native rose before the
change
Which Venus blood did in her leaves i'm
press"
i Still another story is Of a Bethlehem
maiden as pure and sweet as white
rose. She was falsely accused Of
crime and condemned to be burned.
When fires were lighted about her she
appealedsto heaven to save her and to
proclaim her innocence. .Miraculously

PRESIDENT CREATES NEW
RESERVATION FOR BIRDS

islands are placed under the charge of
the secretary of agriculture, who ap-
points wardens whose duties embrace
frequent trips to them, putting up
warning notices and otherwise pre-
venting trespassers from molesting
the birds, either out of curiosity or to
collect plumes or eggs.
The recommendation for this re-
serve was Endorsed strongly by the
National Association of Audubon soci-
cites for the protection of birds and
animals, whose expert ornithologist
and field agent visited the islands
and filed an exhaustive report on the
bird breeding qualities and feeding
ground Of the native fowl along that
section of the coast. The creation OF
reserves of this character is strongly
encouraged and supported by the
League of American Sportsmen and
similar societies..

ARMED POSSES IN
PURSUIT OF C0NV|CTS
BATTLE WITH DESPERADOES
WHO ESCAPED FROM PENlTEN-
TIARY BELIEVED NEAR.
SAW IRON BARS AND
SCALE PRISON WALL
Fugitives Believed to Be in Hiding
Make Rope Out of Sheets and Es-
cape After Fight with Guards
Twenty Detectives in Search.

Joliet, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-Two desperate
and notorious Chicago safe blowers es-
capped late Wednesday night from the
Joliet penitentiary. Edward Quinn
and Harry Harmon, serving long SEN
fences, sawed their way to freedom
in what the police consider one of
the cleverest exploits of the kind ever
effected in Illinois. Armed posses of
prison guards and deputy sheriffs,
headed by Warden Murphy, are scour-
ing the country surrounding Joliet for
traces of the criminals, while 40 Chi
cago detectives are lying in wait at
railroad yards in that city or are
searching for the desperate pair in
their old haunts.
Pursuers Ready for a Battle.
Reports that the men had barricad-
ed themselves in an abandoned box
car at Brander's bridge, two miles
from Joliet, caused band of deter
mined pursuers, armed with repeating
rifles and an abundance of ammuni-
ton, to hurry to the scene, and bat
tie is expected if the desperadoes are
brought to bay.
Rumors that Quinn and Harmon
had outside aid in their flight to free.
dom were brought to the attention OF
Chief McMasters of the Joliet police
department. The police official
thought that friends met the fugitives
and supplied them with clothes and
arms. The fact that suits of clothing
had been stolen at farmhouse neal
the Santa Fe railroad tracks led the
police to believe that Quinn and Har>
mon had escaped detection by secur>
ing the clothes and wearing them.
Quinn, who is known as one of the
cleverest safe blowers in the coun-
try, together with Harmon, also promi-
nent in criminal annals, escaped from
the penitentiary at midnight by bend
ing back bars which they had pre-
viously sawed in the hospital build
Ing of the prison, where both men
were employed as nurses.
Use Rope Of Sheetinq.
BY means of rope made of linen
bed sheeting and hook improvised
from an iron bar, the men dropped to
the grounds of the prison and scaled
the high penitentiary wall Guards
were changing at midnight watch and
they gained their liberty before the
alarm was sounded Their bold flight
was witnessed by George Peary, a
Waterman for the Joliet street rail-
road, who hurriedly notified the prison
officials of the daring delivery.
Both Acted as Nurses.
Quinn, who was serving a 20-year
sentence for safe blowing, had been
employed as day nurse in the three
story hospital for three years. Har.
mon, who was sent to the penitentiary
in June, 1902, was given the position
of night nurse. An average of Il con.
vict patients occupy the hospital,
which is guarded day and night.
