.KERENSKY CLOSES
MOSCOW CONFERENCE
Says Provisional Goverpnaent Will
| Suffer No Counter HevolutioEi
Whatever the Source.
(By Assoclsted Press. ]

Moscow, Aug. 30.--Preniier Keren-
sky. in closing the national confer
ence said that although the different
political groups had criticised the
provisional government they had
shown, clearly a desire to arrive at
an agreement
1.-THE provisional government, de-
clared the premier, will stand guard
over the revolution. 1t will suffer no
counter revolutionary attempts,
whatever be their source. for the pro-
visional government is the incarnated
will of the whole Russian people. 1t
does not regret having convoked the
conference at Moscow, which, al
though 1t has not yielded practical
results, has allowed all Russian citi-
zens to say frankly what they. think
necessary for the state.
Premier Kerensky then spoke of the
services rendered to the country by
the revolutionary democracy, which
he observed, took power at a, terrible
moment in the life Of the state.
Whoever endeavors to wrest their
conquests from the people, he, con-
Guided, will never succeed for they
now have become public property.

MECHANICS WERE LOCALIZED
Titles Spread Upon Official Records,
According to Early Archives OF
Several States.

Mechanics are not likely to get out
Of fashion so long as human nature re-
mains what 1t is. In these days, how
ever, 1t is not customary to spread
such titles upon official records, as was
formerlysthe habit, according to the
archives Of several Of our states.
In the Dutch records Of 1914 We
have John Petersen, alias Friend
John. In the Newton purchase from
the indians. dated in 1866, one of the
boundaries is 'by a Dutchman's land
called Hans the Beore," and in the
Bushwick patent. dated October II.
1867, one Of the boundaries is "John
the Swede's meadow" In 1906, In the
Kings county records, a man is named
living at Gowanus as 'Tunis the Fish
err"
The common council Of New York
In 1901 ordered fish to be brought into
the dock lover against the city hall
or the house that Long Mary formerly
lived in" and in the same year an or
der was passed "that Topknot Betty
and her children be provided for as
objects of charity"
The explanation Of this custom in
many cases was that the persons in
question either had no family names
OF had forgotten them, says a New
York exchange, SO that the use Of their
generally accepted nicknamcs became
q necessity.

Farmers FEAR lncendiarism.

Fairfax.-The elevator men of this
place and other towns in this section
OF the Rosebud country have been
alarmed by the suspicious actions of
two unknown men who were seen to
run from the Combes elevator in this
city at d late hour of the night. They
evidently were defeated in their pur-
pose, whatever it was, by the ap-
proach OF persons who were return
ing to their homes. 1t is feared the
purpose Of the men was to set fire to
and destroy the elevator and a large
amount of grain on hand. Owing to
the uncertainty the elevator men OF
this part of the state will in future
keep watchmen on duty throughout
the night to prevent such attempts as
may be made at wholesale grain de-
struction.

FIiahtiess Birds Bones Found.
Next to his discovery that a hitherto
unknown tribe once inhabited these is
lands, Mr.. de Booy's most interesting
find was the bones of a fightless bird.
Such a bird belonging to the rail fam
lily and having useless rudimentary
wings inhabits New Zealand at the
present day, but that a similar crea-
ture lived on this hemisphere was a
tremendous surprise to the scientists
of the Smithsonian institution in
Washington, who identified the bones
sent them by Mr.. de BODY. The bird
is not prehistoric, but undoubtedly
was hunted and eaten by the Indians
three or four hundred years ago.
Another creature which existed upon
the islands in pre-Columbian days ana
is now extinct was the isolobodan. a
large rodent, which also furnished the
islanders with food.
1t is well known that these three is
lands, which are now covered for the
most part with brush and grass, where
they are not cultivated, once supported
heavy forests. The trees were prOba-
bly, burned by the Spaniards in order
to make oom for crops.
Mr.. de Booy's discoveries indicate
that the islands not only have been de-
forested, but that the whole character
Of their fauna has been changed by
man. Not only the fightless bird and
the isolobodan have been exterminated,
hut he also found bones Of a species OF
crow which is now extinct and is
known to have inhabited only dense
forests. For these animals which have
been destroyed. the European fallow
deer, the partridge and the wild goat
have been substituted. Thus the char
acter Of both flora and fauna have
been radically altered by man and if
one of the a%borigines could return he
would probably find the islands hard
to recognize.
