der and positively identified Dewberry

guilty and was sentenced to hang. His
lawyers appealed for new trial and
we're denied. They appealed to the su-
preme court and were again denied.
They then asked for executive elem
ency, and Hugh Dorsey, who had pros
ecuted the negro, joined the negro's
lawyers in asking that his sentence be
committed from death to life impris-
opment. His ground for this strange
to say, although the negro had been
identified gy several witnesses, was
that he was not certain as to the ne
gro's identity.
The petition for executive clemency
was denied as to the negro's identity.
The petition for executive clemency
was denied, and when the negro went
t. the gallows he confessed.

VIENNA, July 25.-Rainy weather
that has prevailed for weeks without a
let-up has been responsible for the
introduction of patent-leather hats
which are now in great vogue among
the women of Vienna. In addition to
the genuine there are numerous imita-
tons patent-leathers which are not
effected by dampness. The patent
leather style has also extended to in
clude belts, cuffs, collars and other

Imprisonment for a negro who muir
tered white boy without provocation
is one of the additional cases to which
Governor Harris is planning to call
the public's attention in his replies to
Dorsey's attacks upon executive elem
ency.
The governor is making an exhaust
i've analysis of the record covering the
period since Dorsey went into Office as
solicitor of the Fulton superior court,
and his friends believe the disclosures
OF cases in which Mr.. Dorsey petition

the former solicitor in so far as his
agitation of executive clemency is COLI
cerned.
The case above mentioned, which the
governor is planning to call to the pub
lie attention, is that of Oscar Dew

Dodson, white boy, in the back, and
killed him, because Dodson brushed

FACTS ON VERDUN' s
STRENGTH NJ Ak {
SIEGE VERY STRONG

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 25.-"An
appreciation of the task both of de-
tenders and assistants in the five
months bloody struggle for Verdun is
possible only when it is remembered
that the region which goes by the name
of the French town of 10000 people is
virtually fortified area of 1870 square
miles" says today's war geography
bulletin of the National Geographic
Society.
When the crown princes army
began it's siege of the great fortress
en- the Meuse it faced the herculean
labor of reducing eighteen forts
which had been constructed after
the most approved plans of modern
army engineers, ana in addition IL
these there was an equal number Of
redoubts and batteries, girdling every
height in the neighborhood of the
town, on both banks of the Meuse.
"A series of straights line connecting
al: the forts makes a permeter of near
ly forty miles, with the longest dis
lance between any two being thai
from Fort de Marie on the west bar K
OF the Meuse to Fort de Douaumont,
the most northerly defense on the east
bank. The line measures six miles.
but in the gap were three strong bat
teries, including Poste and Charny.
From Douaumont on the north to
Fort de Genicourt on the extreme
south is a distance of u miles in an
airline, and between these, in zigzag
formation are Forts De Vaux, De Bell
vile, De Sauville, De Tavannes, Moul-
ainyille, Balrupt, Du Rozellier, and
p'Haudainville. De Geincourt, eight
miles south of the citadel, is the most
distant of the major defenses, while
the nearest, Bellville, the apex of an
inverted triangle which it forms with
Forts de Marie and De Douaumont, is
only two miles to the north.
ION the west side of the Meuse the
fcrts are more regularly arranged and
the distance between the works are
shorter. They are from north to
south, De Marie, De Bots Borrus
Choisel, Des Saxtelles, De la Chaume
Du Regret, De Landecourt and De
Dugny. Of these Saxtelles and
Chaume are so close together as al
most to constitute single massive
fertilization, while Marie and Bourrus
are similarly situated.
THE greatest diameter Of the for
titled area from east to west is nile
miles, from Moulainville to Bourrus.
THE citadel of Verdun dominates
the surrounding territory from the left
bank of the Meuse, on the site of tie
ancient abbey of St vanne. A circle
with radius of 10 miles drawn about
the citadel before the war would have
included more than thirty suburbs
and villages nesting in vine-clad sur
roundings. Today practically all these
garden spots of verduse and plenty
have been charred by the curtains of
fire which have swept over the entire
region. Some of them, like Fleury and
Damloup, under the shaved of Fort De
Vaux, have become immortal on &C
count of the frightful toll of life which
has been eXacted in their environs."

.CoIored Snowstorms,

Colored snowstorms were recorded as long ago as the sixth century, and a shower of red hail is said by Hum boldt to have once occurred in 'Paler- mo. In Tuscany on March IA, 1913, there fell hail of an orange color. In 1908 red snow fell to a depth of over five feet in Carniola, Austria. The storm of colored snow was followed by one of the regulation color, and the effect produced by the separate layers of red and white, which were perfectly distinct, was very peculiar. A portion of. the scarlet snow was melted in vessel and the water evap- orated, when fine, rose colored earthly sediment was found at the bot tom.' Snow of brick red hue fell in Italy in 1916 and in the Tyrol in 1S47. In the first volume of Kane's Arctic Exploration" it is stated that when the ship passed the Crimson Cliffs of Sir John Ross" the patches of red snow, from which they derived their name, could be seen at distance of fully ten miles.

Curious Papermakina.

Tn some parts of Indo China the na- tives employ various fibers in the at- tempt to supply their own paper. The Village du Papier, suburb of Hanoi, owes it's name to the fact that most of it's 2,OOO or 5000 inhabitants make pa- per from the bark of a small paper tree" species of mulberry, found on the Black river in upper Tonkin. This bark is soaked in lime made from the limestone of the village, heated by crude furnaces fashioned by hand un- der natural limestone vats, pounded by pestle into fine mash, then dis solved in water until a thin paste is reached. This paste Is dipped by bam- boo screen, sieves until a slight film covers the screen. This film is spread on top of others, and each is taken sep arately or several together and spread with a brush on cement radiators to dry. A single sheet of. paper is almost as thin as tissue, but the desired thick ness may be obtained by spreading several films on the radiator and dry ing them together or by pasting the requisite number of sheets together after drying.

Story of fEe Perfun.aa.

Persia saw the earliest development of the perfume industry. The priests in Egypt, who were the sole deposita- ries of science, knew the secret of aro- matic substances and prepared them. Egyptian perfumes acquired great celebrity, especially those made in Alexandria. The Israelites during their sojourn in Egypt adopted the use of aromatic substances. All these per- fumes were extracted from essences of trees and various plants. The Greeks, who loved elegance, were especially addicted to the use of perfumes, and they taught their secrets and usage to the Romans. The latter, in the days of their decadence, went so far as to scent the coats of their dogs. In the middle ages tho Arabs, Venetians, Genoese and Florentines became fa- nous for the preparation of sweet smelling essences. France did not be- come acquainted with perfumes until after the crusades, and it was Maria de Medici who especially brought them into favor.

Graphic Description,

Zach had been introduced to new circular saw. The foreman of the sawmills performed the introduction, and after giving Zach few necessary extra instructions he left him to his work. Zach was really interested in the buzzing blade, and his curiosity getting the better of his discretion, he soon found himself minus a finger. Despite his excitability he was some thing of stoic, so he bound up his wound without seeking assistance. While he was thus engaged the fore man reappeared. To him Zach, de- scribed the accident. : "But how on earth did you manage it?" the foreman exclaimed angrily, for the prospects of damages ahead were not exactly pleasant.
 Zach shook his head.
 "Sure, an don't know" he said. q just touched the thing like this with my finger when-Im blessed if there ain't another one gonew-New York Times.

Remarkable Reptiles.

During the time of deposition of the clays constituting the Morrison shale in southern Colorado there existed a great variety of remarkable reptiles of huge size. Their bones, which are in places abundant, are the remains of animals that were .mired in the soft clay of which Morrison formation largely consists. Some of these crea- lures, such as the brontosaurus, were sixty feet long. Many of them had remarkably small. heads, notably the stegosaurus, which had so diminu- tive a brain that it must have been very stupid. This animal was un- doubtedly very clumsy also, but it's huge size and protective armor aided in it's preservation.-Geological Survey Bulletin.

BOY SCOUTS HAVE COME TO SIGNIFY
 MUCH TO THE CITY

and with improvised bandages from the crowd stopped the flow of blood by use of the tourniquet, and attended to the immediate necessities until such time as a physicion arrived on the scene.
 A few months ago in the city of Waterbury a small child, one of for eign parentage, wandered away from home, and search was made by, family and friends without avail. The next morning the local organization of the Boy Scouts was notified. of the occur renee and inside of two hours a de- tail of Scouts was on the scene and had undertaken a thorough search in the pasture near which the child was last seen. Within an hour from that , time the Scouts returned to the dis tracted mother the baby, who was un- conscious as a result of exposure and lack of food. In this country alone more than 200 persons have been res- cued' from drowning within the last year by members of the Boy Scout or ganiZation.
 A few months ago in the city of Newark which was in the midst of its 250th anniversary ce1ebrp ton, hand ling daily crowds which were taxing the members of the police department the, Scout official offered the services of the Boy Scouts which were accept ed, and inside of A hours 1,400 Scouts in uniform with slaves had lined the route over which the parade was to move, and were very material as- sistance to the police of that city.
 No Grand Army man who has at tended the recent National Encamp ments within the last few years car forget the real assistance which these boys have beer to them. At the time of the reu1lion of the Blue an6 the Gray at Gettysburg a couple o1 years ago these boys were detailed and were made personally responsible for the comfort slnd welfare of the old veterans, and it was sight whicf would make the average American. heart swell with pride to see these boys watch the venerable fighters, anG at the first sign of weakness or fain to rush to their assistance with cam1 stools and canteen, and if the case. were serious or severe to remove these veterans from the line on i'm provised stretchers in a manner which could not be acuared without training and experience.
