Warm winters in Europe.

warm hAhAtES III NNAODts
A Russian meteoroligist. Woeikof,
has been studying the temperature
recorded at Stockholm, Sweden, for
the $50 years which precede 1905.
He finds that there is disposition
toward warm winters there about
once in eight years. This period does
not correspond with that of sun spot
frequency or any other phenomenon
external to the earth. Woeikof
therefore attributes it to such
changes in the distribution of air
pressure as alter the direction OF the
ltevailing winds. He has discov-
cred that the situation at St. Peters
burg corresponds rather closely TO
that OF Stockholm, but he declares
that when the winters are mild in
Northern Europe they are usually
severe in the south. and especially

Peat Briquettes Used For Fuel in Mexico.
For The Echo-By the Forestery De-
partment at Washington.

For The Echo-By the Forestery De-
partment at Washington.
Word comes from the City of Mexico
that an American Company has under
qaken the manufacture of briquettes from
peat. The increasing difficulty of sup
plying the capital city of the Republic
with wood from neighboring forest
whence its fuel has come since the days
of Cortez, has led to this project of util-
izing deposits of peat which have long
been known to exist in the vicinity.
Eighty years ago Humboldt described
magnificent forest within the reach of
the City OF Mexico. Today the region
supports only second growth of little
value. The change has been brought
about by wood cutters and charcoal
burners who stripped the land and left
it to reforest itself il it could to relapse
into waste. Thus neglected, the land
could not grow timber to the demands
upon it, and the wood cutters have little
or nothing near to cut.
Fortunately large bogs of peat are
within reach. 1t has never been much
used for fuel. because the Mexicans never
took pains to learn how to burn it. The
companys which has undertaken to
manufacture the bog fuel into briquettes
has made large investments in land and
machinery.

Chancellor Rules Against Lumbermen IN Six
teenth Section Cases.

The Chancery Court for the Thirteenth
Chancery Court District of Mississippi
adjourned Wednesday for its April term
in Hancock County. The usual amount
of business was disposed of, the docket
containing not few divorce cases, as
well as matters of guardianship and
other chancery affairs. By far the most
important litigations of the past term
were the Sixteenth Section cases, in
which the State of Mississippi, acting
through its Revenue Agent, Writ Adams
attemps to set aside and cancel leases
of the Sixteenth Section school lands
by the Board of Supervisors of several
counties conveying large interests there
in to lumber concerns. 1t also sought
in these suits to remove clouds from the
title to these sixteenth sections created
by the said leases. These Sixteenth Sec
tions were all timber lands and the
leases covering period of ninety-nine
years were taken by the lumberers sim
ply for the right to cut the timber and
manufacture it into lumber. They did,
accordingly, in most cases cut. remove
and sell the timber. The State attempts
in these suits charge the lessees and
their assigns with the value of the re-
moved timber. Demurrers were filed in
all cases, and after being exhaustively
argued by counsel, were overruled by
the Court, which means that the lessees
of these sixteenth sections for the period
of ninety-nine years acquired under
their leases no right to cut the timber
thereon for manufacture or sale. The
leases were taken for no other pur-
pose than to acquire the rights to cut
ard dispose of the timber, and the
Boards of Supervisors of the counties
leasing the land meant to convey that
right. The almost entire value OF the
land embraced in these sixteenth sec
tions consists in the timber standing on
them. There remains for the defend
ants in these suits nothing to do but an
swer, denying the facts, or to appeal to
the Supreme Court of the State from
the Chancellor's decree oyerruling their
respective demurrers.

his name the dying called when the last
agony seized them; that their mournful
eyes turned from all others to look upon
this messenger of hope as he entered
the death chamber bearing the Lord !;
that his last blessing dismissed our be-
loved to the bosom OF eternal rest; that
his were the last kind and hopeful pray
ers uttered over the grave OF our dearest
and best.
"Such is the priesthood to which we
pay tribute to-day. Dearly beloved
brethren, this feast of love and esteem
for your pastor is an honor to you as
we'll as to him. But by this service you
are also honoring in the very reverend
jubilarian one to whom much honor is
due. Before the year 1888 other Missis-
sippians had ascended the altar of God,
but their yocations were secured to them
under the aegis of some great order OF
the church. The first native of the soil
to brave the awful responsibility, the
loneliness, heareaches and sacrifices of
the secular priest in his own diocese,
"You know best the manner of man
he has been among you, as your pres
ence here to-day proudly testifies. This
beautiful church, erected under his ad-
ministration, is but a figure of the edi-
flee he has built in your souls to the iv-
ing God.
Gail honor, praise and gratitude to
those heroic men of the Natchez clergy
who for years and years have been COM
ing to>us from Europe to congregations,
to consecrate their lives and sacrifice
themselves for the sake OF our souls.
But Father Oliver has the unique honor
and distinction of being the first native
Mississippian to follow their noble ex-
ample, to take up their work in the do
cese and thus be the prototype of a long
line of native priests that, believe, will
end, in Mississippi, only with the full
fil1ment of Christ's promise to the
church: Behold, | am with you all
days, even to the consummation OF the
world
TWENTY-FIVE years priest OF God !!
How many masses said, how many souls
shriven, how many communions admin
istered, how many hearts comforted,
how many spirits fortified for Judgment
but so much for the past. May Gods
Judgment be upon It'll"
