! Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW. YORK. January 1.-Charles w
Morse. today, spent his last day In the
Tombs in:consu ltation with his family
his counsel,i Martin W. I.ittleton, and
Walter A.. Reid president of the Metro
po1itan Steamship Company. and one
Of Morse's close friends
MorSe's interview with Littleton was
| brief. since the LONG tight against the
sentence of fifteen years in the federal
! prison at Atlanta was ended.
Upon leaving the Tombs Littleton
said Nh. Morse is showing u degree OF
fortitude which he-Mr. Littleton :
found it impossible to initiate.
Further Effort to Free Him.
Littleton contemp1ates further moves
| in Morses behalf, but he is unable to
detail his plans at present. 1t is under
stood that the last resource left open
to Morse's lawyer, aside from an ap-
peal tor executive clemency, is to apply
TO the United States circuit court tor Il
writ OF habeaS corpus on the theory
that the sentence imposed by the court
here is excessive.
Since Morse's counsel made a note to
that effect in his application to the
writ OF certiorarl, which was denied, IL
is not expected that the circuit courl
will grant the application ii II is made.
Mrs. Morse. an almost daily visitor at
The Tombs during her husbands con-
1inement there, reached the prison early
today, accompanied 10y Mr.. Morse's two
sons. Mrs. Morse had procured pass
from United States Marshal Henkle per-
uniting her and her sons to make the
visit on a holiday. They remained with
Morse during the day..
Morse to State His Case.
Reid visited Morse. In the afternoon.
After talking with him, he announced
that Morse would have a statement to
give to the papers before leaving the
Tombs tomorrow morning.
1t was explained that on account Of
being with mis- family Morse had been
case as he sees it, as he had expected
to do yesterday. Reid said that Morse
was bearing up we'll under the strain of
saying sood-bye to his friends.
The final fareWells between Morse and
his wife aid sons will probably take place
at Atlanta. Mrs. Morses girlhood home

A Fish That Gives Paint.


The well known brown pigment call
ed sepia Is obtained from ten armed
octopus found principally in the Med
iterranean and more especially at the
head Of the Adriatic sea, where It Is
caught by the natives for food.
The sepia is contained in bag and
is really the black fluid Of which we
have all read as being discharged by
the creature to cover Its escape. Some
naturalists say that the fluid is brown
ish. which becomes more credible when
we know that this is the source OF
sepla. The pigment is really a powder
which dissolves in water. Its strength
may be estimated by the fact that It
will color 1000 times its own bulk.
When the octopus has been killed the
sack or bag is removed and dried to
prevent putrefaction. The sepia is
treated with ammonia or caustic soda,
washed and dried. 1t IS one Of the
most durable Of paints, except when
fully exposed to the fierce rays Of the
sun, and an even surface can be OBJ
tanned with 1t more easily than with
most paints. Sepia has been obtained
from fossil cuttledsh thousands of
years old and found to be quite good
for paint.

pu,;shuent For Perjury.

Perjury is a crime more severely
punished in Germany than In any 9th
er country in the world. Even an ap
parently trivial misstatement under
oath carries sentence Of ten years IL
prison. Excepting murder, there are
few crimes that carry as heavy pen
atty as perjury. The German theory Is
that the entire system Of Jurispru'
dence rests on the respect for an OATH
administered under the forms of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
In order to secure the punishment OF
other crimes and insure justice In civil
cases. Germany stands at one extreme
