SUGGESTS PLAN TO
USE CONVICTS

Oklahoma City, Oct. S.-The employ
ment oF state convicts III the building
OK highways and in the manufacture
Of clothing, furniture and supplies
used in conducting state departments
and institutions is suggested by
Charles Daugherty. state labor com
missioner, in his annual report to Gov.
Cruce. The commissioner also says
he would not object to the proposed
plan Of permitting the conviets to as
sist farmers Of the state IN irrigation
projects, provided their services would
be furnished free Of cost to the farmer
The report states that the question
OF what to do with Oklahoma conYicts
has attracted considerable attention
in view Of the constitutional inhibi-
tion against contract prison labor and
working conEicts in mines. and that
the plan Of donating this labor to the
farmer would meet a ready response
in some localities, but arouse intense
rivalry from sections that could not
be served IN this way
Commissioner Daugherty cites the
example Of Colorado, which has used
its conyicts in constructing public
highways with much success, the re-
port Of the prison warden Of that state
showing that sl55, 600 was saved N the
construction Of 20 miles Of road. New
York is cited as an example of a state
which employs its convicts in making
cloth. shoes. office supplies and furni-
ture for the different departments Of
state, thus keeping them generally
employed and making them somewhat
self-supporting
The labor commissioner expresses
surprise at the proposal to use con-
victs in opening coal beds underlying
the penitentiary grounds at MoAles-
Ter. The report says:
In conclusion, we want to call at
tention TO the attempts made to use
these conyicts in opening the coal beds
underlying the penitentiary grounds
at MeAlester. We were somewhat sur
prised to learn that this attempt had
been made. and simply want to remark
that we do not understand how, after
reading the report Of the Kansas peni-
tentiary, where our conyicts were
formerly kept, any one could give ap.
proval to a project Of this kind"

WHY THE PLANETS COLLIDE
Gravity and Other Agencies Are at
Work In Bringing Stars
Together.

There Is good reason to believe that
the bodies in space-both luminous
and enthusiastically fall together,
and his conception of such an event
was given by Prof. A. w. Bickerton
in a late Royal Institution lecture.
The collisions do not come at ran
dom. Gravity and other agencies are
at work, and before two suns collide
they come into each others influence
for hundreds Of years, being drawn
towards each other with constantly In
creasing speed. AS the velocity would
be proportfonate to size, the collision
would take place in the same time
about three-fourths' Of an hour--sor all
bodies. With the collision the two
stars beccme new one, the tremen-
doTs speed Is suddenly converted into
heat, and the explosive force expands
the new star at the rate of millions of
miles an hour. This, Professor Bick.
erton believes, explains the origin of
Nova Persei, which suddenly flashed
out in 1901 with 10000 times the bril-
Hancy Of our sun. This star became
the brightest in the heavens except
Sirius, and was the most brilliant new
star that has appeared in 800 years.

ADDING DAYS TO HIS LIFE
Paradoxlcal Problem Is Solved
Through Obvious Point In Cir
cumnaVlgatlon.

A correspondent sends to the Her.
aid paradoxical problem which, ne
believes, originally appeared in
Piesse's "ChymicaI, Natural and Physi-
cal Magic" published some 80 years
ago. Two persons were born at the
same place, at the same moment of
time. Fifty years after they both died,
also at the same spot and at the same
Instant; yet one had lived 100 days
more than the other.
The possible solution turns on a
curious hut very obvious point In cir
cumnavigation. A person going round
the world toward the west loses a
day; going toward the sast he gains
one. Suppose, then. two persons born
together et me Cape OF Good Hope,
whence a voyage round the world may
be performed in a year; IL one per-
forms this Constantly toward the west,
In 30 years he will be so days behind
the stationary inhabitants; and If the
other sail equally toward the east, he
Will be so days In advance of them.
One, therefore, will have seen 100
days more than the other.-Glasgow

DIVORCED FROM DEAD MAN
Queer Requirements Made In France
That offIclal Records May Be
Completed.

In France, as In some other coun-
tries, every citizen has an official his
tory. Not as varied and interesting
as his real history, but still import
ant From this there follow at times
quaint consequences. II a woman is
married, for example, wife she re-
mains officially though the husband
may be missing.
Consider the case Of the painter
who went fishing on Anthie bay. He
has not since been seen. The body OF
one man who went with him was
washed ashore lifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing proof
that his wife had been made a widow.
She thought so and in due time she
sought to have 1t recorded in her of
fetal history that she was a widow.
We are familiar with applications to
court of justice for leave to pre-
sumo the death Of persons who have
vanished. But the French Judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her official
history wife and there was no certifi-
cate to justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without a certifi-
cate or reasonable documentary evil
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was way round. The be-
reaved woman applied for divorce on
the ground of desertion. Since death
is beyond dispute the most complete
kind of desertion, the court of Mon
treuil decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an Independent woman and apparently
both the law and she are satisfied. But
you VIII observe that the official his
tory must now record the wife of a
dead man as Divorce, which does
not seem ~ery creditable to official
history.

HabIts.

Every year the number OF storks
TO be seen in Alsace becomes less. or
the four nests perched on the big
chimneys on the old roofs OF Strass-

In many Of the villages the great

are the causes assigned for this de-

the multiplication of telephone and

In Germany for the better study of

have something to do with the scare

the authorities have learned son8e-
thing of the migratory habits OF tAe

at the Cape of Good Hope whose place.

A point of interest relative to the
scarcity of the stork has been brought
under the notice of the German au-
thorities by doctor at Port Eliza
beth. who suggests that they have
been poisoned through eating grass
hoppers or locusts which have been
killed by arsenic. A correspondent,
however, of an Alsace-Lorraine Jour-
nal hints that the cause Is to be found
nearer at home.

1t is impossible to state just when

may go in the ages, but we still find it
existing. We see it painted on Egyp-

ascribed to all kinds of birthplaces,
its creator having been at times q

curious circumstance that the seafar-
