MOST POWERFUL OF BRUTEs.
The Gorilla Is Believed to Be Human
by African Natives.

For downright savageness and ug-
illness there is no animal on the face
of the. earth which can be compared
with the gorilla. 1t is still uncertain
whether in a wild state, except in the
immediate moment of attack, it ever
actually walks erect without either
resting it's knuckles on the ground or
supporting itself by a branch over
head, but that it does beat it's fists
upon its breast when enraged is es-
tablished; and when the male gorilla
turns, as seemingly it does, to con-
front man fearlessly when attacked,
with its huge size, it's great hairy
limbs and hideous head set almost
down into its shoulders, we can be-
lieve that mo description can exceed
the horror of its appearance. Add
that the gorilla usually lives in the
depth of forests where the light is
so dim that it is difficult to see any
object clearly distance of more than
a few yards, and it is not to he won
dered at that the natives have in
vested it with attributes even more
horrific than those which it possesses.
Many believe the gorilla to be hui
man; others hold that, though itself
a beast, it is often Informed with the
transmigrated spirits of the human
dead. 1t is said to lie in wait
crouched on the lower branches of
trees overhanging path, and when a
human being passes to drop one Of
its long hind limbs. and, clutching the
victim by the throat so suddenly and
in so terrible a grip that hardly
sob is heard, to drag it-man or wo-
man-up to its lurking place. 1t is
also said that the animal, armed
with clubs, attacks and beats off ele-
plants. In Africa it is noteworthy
that the lion and the gorilla do not
occur together, and it has been con-
jectured both that the lion has ex-
terminated the gorilla within it's ter
ritory and that the gorilla has driven
Out the lion.

SAVE BIRDS AS ECONOMY.
Ten Million Dollars Profit From Con-
seryatiOn of Feathered Friends.

Ten Million Dollars Profit From Con-
seryatiOn of Feathered Friends.
Proposing to save the people of this
country at least $10,00O,e00 each
year plans for a National Audubon
university to be endowed with one
million dollars has been announced.
Based upon the known annual crop
loss of one billion dollars due to the
spreading pests that the insect-eating
birds destroy, the calculations of the
National Association of Audubon So
'eieties, which is putting forth this
project, shows that the teaching Of
bird value from such an institution
must result in wiping out at least
l per cent. of the huge national pen
atty for popular lack of knowledge
on this subject When one million
dollars can be raised for the new uni
versity it is proposed to at once start
its work, which promises eventually
to contribute hundreds Of millions to
American prosperity.
Every man, woman and child
throughout the United States is to
be included as a student in the pro-
posed Audubon university. Through
hundreds of lectures and teachers,
who are to be educated in the science
of natures checks to the destruction
of the cOuntry's crops and woods, the
economic principles of bird preserva-
%ion will be taught to every commu-
nifty.

OF THE JUNGLE
BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIBLE.
The Python, COlored Like Bird of
Paradise, Is as Cruel as Death.

Paradise, Is as Cruel as Death.
There is nothing more terrible than
the large snakes of the jungle, with,
save for the chilling hiss, their voice
lessness and the secrecy Of their
movements (''more hid than paths of
snakes') the grim wickedness of
their lpless mouths and lidless eyes;
the slow, proud, balancing rhythm of
their head and neck, so full of the
consciousness of the awful strength
that is held in suspense behind. and
the deadly suddenness of the attack
when that power is Embossed; the ter
ror of their "strong-curling" bulk, in
grip of which no living thing but is
helpless as the tightening folds close,
pitiless as bands of living metal, and
as cold! 1t is no wonder that the
snake so twined itself about the inn
agination of early man that in almost
every country we find traces of snake
worship. It's trail runs through the
myth and legend of every people, and
such honOrs have clustered round it
as have, perhaps, not been Iavished
on all other created things combined
Not one of the great crushing
snakes is furnished with poison. An
anaconda, already "the superb dicta-
tor of the Brazilian forests" if
equipped with the venom of asp or
cobra would be too terrible a thing
to have a place in the scheme of ma
ture. If it chose to Stay in wanton-
ness no other creature could live in
the same haunts.
In it's wild haunts the python, espe-
cially when it has newly changed its
skin, is more beautiful than one
would ever guess. Not even the
plumage of the bird of paradise can
excel the puppies, blues and gold of
a python that has just cast its slough,
while an infinite and terrible interest
underlies those iridescent charms
from the fact that the coils, soft as
rose leaves and shot with colors like
a doves breast, can crush the life
cut of jaguar in all its rage and
slowly squeeze it into pulp.

GROWS WALNUTs ON OAK TREES
Price Is Running Wizard Burbanks
q Close Second.

Up in Calaveras county, Califor-
MIA, there is a new kind of genius
who might be called the walnut wiz
ard. His name is E. M. Price, and
he grows them on oak trees. State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Hyatt discovered him while attend
ing a teachers institute in Calaveras
county last week.
From all accounts Price has done
something almost as startling as
Luther Burbanks. Burbank made
the people of the desert with spine
less cactus possible, and Price hopes
to people the forest with walnuts.
Price does not mean to plant wal
nut trees in the forest, but to graft
branches on oak trees and let them
bear. His experiments so far have
demonstrated the feasibility OF such
an enterprise, The oak trees all
about his home in the CalaNeras hills
are engrafted with walnut stocks,
and some have grown fruit. None
of the nuts have matured yet, how
ever, and the pulling question has
arisen: When they are ripe what
will they look like, walnuts or
acorns? And what will they taste
! like, acorns or walnuts?
The walnuts Price has grown on
ordinary trees are three times big
ger than the walnuts in the mar
kets, the result he has achieved by
a long series of experiments. Price
has improved the quality of other
kinds of nuts.

CORRECT YOUR OWN ERRORS
Is GOV. BROWNS WARM REPLY
TO JUDGE NEWT. MORRIS.
Tells His Honor That His Confession
Is Not Any Credit to the Adj
miniStration of Law.

miniStration of Law.
/ ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Brown,
with telling emphasis, has made
pointed and emphatic reply to the
letter of Judge Morris, who criticised
his action in refusing executive elem
ency in the case of the negro, J. B.
Kellogg, who murdered j. c. Land
ers, white man, in Cherokee county.
Judge NORRIS said that Governor
Brown allowed the negro Kellogg
to be hung although he was not
guilty of a hanging crime, and init
mated that he had been influenced in
the matter by the state of public
opinion in Canton and the surround
| ing county. He declared that there
was great inconsistency in Governor
Browns opinion written in the KEEL
| logg case, in which he urged that the
verdicts of juries should be protect
| ed, and his action in the case of DR..
Jud M. Elliott of Troup county.
Governor Browns answer is as fol-
lows:
Judge n. A. Morris, Marietta,
Ga.-Dear Sir: | have received this
afternoon, and also see in the Atlanta
Journal today, your letter dated yes
terday, and addressed to me.
find only two points in it calling
for notice, viz: your reference to my
decision in the Kellogg and Elliott
appeals for executive clemency. Re-
garding Kellogg, who was tried be-
fore you, you say:
With that construction he was
only guilty of voluntary manslaugh-
ter; constituting it in it's strongest
light, he certainly was not guilty of
such murder as would demand the
death penalty. l have discharged
my duty-the responsibility is upon
you"
This is clever effort on your part
to avoid responsibility placed upon
you by law as a judicial officer, and
shift it on the executive. 1t should
not only be your pleasure, but it is
your sworn duty to correct errors
committed in your court, either by
you or the jury The executive de-
partment is separate and distinct
from judicial, and you should know
that | have no authority to set aside
a verdict and judgment in your court
and order different one. Kellogg
was not hanged in consequence of
any order of mine, but in pursuance
Iof solemn judgment and sentence
pronounced by you. l regret that
you feel that the blood of innocence
is on your hands; but the place for
correction of your errors was in your
court, and confession of them in the
newspapers neither absolves you nor
does it add any credit to the admin
istration of law in your circuit
Concerning your citicism of my de-
cision in the Elliott case 1 will mere
ly remark that your words show
clearly that you have not read a
syllable of the record which was ex-
haustively examined by me, or, if
you had, certainly not understanding
ly; hence, I shall not crafty your
desire for a controversy in the news
papers or elsewhere on that subject
Respectfully,
JOS. M BROWN, Governor.

An interesting feature Of teleg-

about so common a letter as Z his
case soon becomes hopeless. Anoth

form Of inability to write fast
