AUDUBON SOCIETIES GROW
Secretarys Report Tells of Work
of Saving Birds.

T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary Of the Ma
tional Association Of Audubon Societies. at
the annual meeting yesterday in the Amer
lean Museum Of Natural History, declared
that the work of the association had been
most etiicacious in the protection OF birds.
In a report read at the meeting, he said, IN
part:
Most successful has been our work in
saving birds from the grasp OF mlllnerS
through the bills we have advocated IN the
various state legislatures.
No work ever undertaken by this asso-
citation has shown more concrete results
than the guarding of bird colonies. The in
crease of herring gullS as result or the
protection of the splendid colonies on tue
Maine coast is apparent TO al observers.
One OF the most valuable services our
movement has rendered TO the ornltnolosl-
cal world has been the snatchlng PACK
from the verge OF extinction OIL certain
birds of the United States. Thus. thS ro-
seate tern in the Massachusetts colonies
probably has been spared from extinction
by the protection it has received IN part
at least, from this association.
The association has again taken up the
subject of locating and guarding the few
remaining breeding colonies OF esrets IN
the United States. Explorations Tor this
purpose were made in four OF the soutnss
ern States, and ten colonies were locatea
and guarded by the wardens OF the assoc
citation or members OF society !.
By means of the annual contribution OF
$1,000 given by Mrs. Russell sage Tor
Audubon effort in the Southern states, We
have been enabled TO conduct a Wlde, sys
tematic educational campaign IN much q
that territory. The two Southern neld
agents have been paid from this source
and we have also been in position 10
extend limited financial aid 10 some Of the
Southern Audubon societies.
The financial support OF the association
has shown a healthy and continuous
growth Fourteen life memberships have
been received, and the list Of sustaining
members has grown from 1,lSi 10 1851.

THE BOSSS INDIGNATION.

Why is Murphy so indignant in mis-
denial that any of the Willett money
now reported TO be .0O0-reached
Tammany Hall? Does any one in his
senses believe that Murphy or Tammany
now is any better than Croker was or
than Tammany was under Croker? Yet
Croker testified before a legislative IN
vestigating committee that it was Gus
| tomary for judiciary candidates TO CON
| tribute $1,000 or $1,000 to Tammany
Hall. and ex-Judge Pryor told the same
committee that on being nominated for
the Common Pleas bench he contributed
$4,000. The contribution was re
quested' by no less person than Croker
himself. And they were careful In those
days also regarding checks. Judge Pryor
made out a check for his $4,000 to the
order of Croker, but IL was sent back
and a check to bearer substituted. Now,
, TO Judge from the Willett incident the
custom calls for bills.
The practical selling of judgeships IS
the Tammany system. This is estab-
liShed upon the best of evidence-upon
the testimony OF Croker. who sold then,
and OH the testimony Of the judges who
paid for them. There is not the slight
est reason 10 suppose that the system
has ever been abandoned. On no other
basis than It's continuance can some of
the nominations which Tammany has
made 10 the bench be explained and
understood. 1t must be obvious that too
often the places on the ticket go to the
highest bidder, whether he pays in
bills" through the purchase of stock
held by some person lin urgent need of
money" or the contribution comes from
law partner business associate or
member of the family of the candidate,
or some Of the selfish interests for which
the boss does business in the political
world are permitted to name their man
for the bench. Just as Tammany sought
10 enable the selfish interests TO name
the Senator for this state last winter
What Tammanys control of judicial
nominations means is too well known
for any one to be misled by the bosS's
indignant denials that any of the VIII
lett money camt to the Wigwam.

VENUS, THE EARTH'S NElGH6oR

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The recent spectacular splendor or
King Soils brightest mirror-our neighbor,
the planet Venus. to which the Greeks Of
historic times gave the names Phosphorus
and Hesperus-recalls few facts ana sta
tistics respecting her. The smaller planet
Mercury is, of course, the nearest OF known
planets. 10 King Sol, but Venus comes
next. and in eccentriclty Of solar orbit-an
eccentricity having an average of about
81, 200. 600 miles-is the least irregular OF the
planets The distance OF Venus from our
earth also varies. with an average or mean
Of about o, 100000 miles at her nearest, the
average distance of Venus from our earth
being approximately 10000 00O miles at her
furthest.
Queen Venus may be called the planet
twin OF our world. since her mean diam
eter and that Of our earth are nearly
equal Nevertheless the difference of some
two hundred miles in their diameters
leaves Venus with about 92-100 of the ter
restrial volume Venus's mass or weight
approximates s2-100 that of our planet, and,
dividing S2-1O0 by 92-10o. we get s9-1OO, which
is Venus's density compared with the den
sity of our earth. Verus's gravity APP
proximates S2-1OO that of our planet, or, in
other words, a terrestrial body Weighing
100 pounds would weigh only 81 pounds upon
the surface OF Venus.
Queen Venus exhibits phases like our
moon, but possesses no moon herself. She
presents a bright and thicky clouded ap-
pearance. and has an atmosphere which is
estimated TO he from one and one-half TO
two times as dense as our own. This
beautiful planet was seen. Of course, by
mankind in prehistoric ages. but the earli-
est known record respecting her was In
