Power of Sun Rays
Increased by Good
Weather i'm Britain
Photographers Are Obliged
to Adjust Camera Lenses
to Meet New Condition;
Color Effects Remarkable

LONDON, July 2 (By MaiD.-One
of the many surprises Of the present
astonishing weather in Great Britain
suns rays, remarks The London Daily
Mail. Photographers are noticing that
ordinary summer exposures are much
too long and have been compelled to
increase the speed of their shutters
or decrease the rapidity Of their plates.
A Photographic expert of great expe
rience stated yesterday that he had
never known such rapid and powerful
light in England.
1t is precisely az if London had been
translated by some magic carpet 500
miles further south, to the latitude of
Florence or New York. The intense
brightness of the light here is that of
summer in these places, and its clear
ness is enc of the causes of the mar
velous color effects night after night.
Remarkable color effects were OBJ
served again last night. At 10:30 there
were lines of purple, pink, gray, yell
low green and light blue. with dark
eye could see.
Dr.. J. S. Owens, the consulting en-
gineer, who has on the roof of his
premises in Victoria Street, S. W., an
apparatus invented by himself for test
ing the purity of the atmosphere, said:
For the first time l find an almost
entire absence of dust and dirt in the
atmosphere. The upper air is almost
pure. 1t is remarkable this wonderful
clearness and color of the atmosphere
l have seen morning heliotropes that
l have hitherto seen in Spain--con-
sidering that the coal now being used
ia had and dirtv coal ~
A suggestion has been made that the
intense solar activity, accompanying the
sunspots of last year and this year, has
caused an increase in the suns power
which has affected the climate of our
earth and diminished our rainfall. In
countries so remote as British Guiana
there has been no rainy season for the
first time on record; and India has also
suffered greatly from lack of rain,
though the monsoon is said to have
been satisfactory.
That there is something strange hap
rening is indicated by the fate of tho
mosquito, an undesirable insect which
aourishes in moist weather and can
live through any normal drought.
There are reports from all directions
that the mosquitoes are succumbing in
the present weather.

Bird Plulnage Importation

LONDON, July 2 (By MaiD Bird
lovers have won victory by the final
posing of the plumage bill, which pro-
hibits the importation into the United
Kingdom of the feathers of any Did
except those of the African ostrich and
the elder duck. The bill is mainly de-
signed to prevent cruelty in securing
the feathers of such ornamental birds
as ospreys and birds of paradise. The
prohibition regarding importation ex-
tends to dead bodies of birds with the
piumaSe on them, but does not apply
to feathers worn by travellers or intro
duced in travellers baggage, provided it
can be shown that they are for per-
sonal use only. Strenuous opposition
mad been offered to the passage of the
bill by the trade interested.

Woman Gives the Alarm
Captured Pair Believed To
Be Members of Gang Of
New Jersey Silk Thieves

DOVER, N. j., July 20.-Policc here,
shortly after 2 o'clock this morning,
engaged three men, who are said to
have been driving stolen automobile
truck from Netcong, NJ j., in a running
battle in which more than 100 shots
were fired, two of the men were seri-
ously wounded and captured and dam
age was done to private property. The
men are said to be members of a gang
of silk and automobile thieves operat-
ing over the roads of the northern part
OF New Jersey.
Mrs. Alice Miller, who lives opposite
the garage of Fred Direnzo in Net
cong, saw three men drive a truck from
the garage shortly after / o'clock this
morning. Becoming suspicious, she at
tempted to telephone to Direnzo, who
lives some distance from his garage.
and learned that the phone wire had
been cut. She then notified Austin
King, owner of the other garage IN
Netcong, and after ascertaining that
the three men had been seen going
toward Dover, he called the police
here.
Armed Men Await Truck
In few minutes the available local
police force was waiting for the arrival
of the bandits. Patrolman Harry Fine,
with riot gun, was stationed in the
center of the road leading into Dover
p1t al Io1 C,11
Youmans, each armed with a six-shot
automatic shotgun and a revolver. and
Joseph Voelker, a watchman, with a
revolver, were posted in doorways
along Blackwell Street.
At 2:15 o'clock a truck answering
the description of the one stolen in
Netcong rumbled into Dover. When
Fine ordered the men in the truck to
stop they opened fire, six shots pass
ing over the patrolman's head in rapid
succession. Fine replied with the riot
gun. The truck increased it's speed
Voelker first and then Youmans
opened fire on the truck, aiming at the
wheels. In this volley one of the rear
tires was struck, but the machine con-
tinued on. When the truck came
abreast of Gallagher's hiding place he
fired directly at the seat, it is said
Patrolmen Give Chase
Fine and Voelker then jumped into
an autom obile which was standing at
the curb and gave chase. After a run
of six blocks, in which the patromen
continued to fire, the truck finally
stopped. By this time the pursuing
policemen had no ammunition left.
When the truck stopped one of the
three men who had been riding in the
rear jumped out and ran. He escaped
through a side street. The man at
the wheel, who gave his name as Mi
chael McDcnough, of Newark, was
found to have seven gunshot wounds.
A third man, who gave his name as
Warren Smith, Of Newark, was found
lying in the body Of the truck, seri-
ously wounded, along with several
thousand dollars worth of automobile
tires. The two wounded men were
taken to Dover Hospital, where it was
said they would recover.
The shooting aroused many of the
guests in the Mansion House, while
The Style, a mems furnishing store,
next door, was riddled by bullets, and
scattering shots broke windows in sew
eral other buildings in Blackwell

The aged prisoner told the court she
was the mother of nine children. She
had wanted the braid for hat, she
said, but tdid not have the money to
pay for 1t. The temptation to take il
from the counter was too great to re-
sist.
After the magistrate had announced
he would hold Mrs. Samuelson in s25

suaded the representatives of the store

REVIEWS OF THE NEW AUTUMN FICTION

of her wider vision when upon the
threshold of her studio and her liaison
with Cert Gram six-year- Austen
Mo furnished a revelation. Jenny,
coming upon the tiny boy, offers to
carry his heavy market basket for
him They walk down a block, the
youngster chattering, and Jenny, re-
membering her stepbrother. Nils,
when he too was tiny and dependent
upon her, enjoys the encounter-for a
moment Then comes the shock:
They had turned into another
street. Jenny let go the boys hand and
looked at the basket. 1t was so heavy
and Austen was so small--so she kept
it, although she did not like to be seen
with poor little urchin in a good
street. She would have liked to take
him to the confectioner's, but thought
it would be rather awkward If she met
any one she knew there"
Jenny was never quite the same to
us after that. We could not sympa-
thetically turn from this episode which
ends Part Two and heap across the
gulf of blank page in the time in
mill. Yet Part Three begins with
Jenny at o'clock in the evening
stealing up to Cert Grams rooms. To
be sure she has carefully looked up
and down the street before starting up
the stairs, but the distance between
the girl who hesitated beside Austen
for fear of being seen and the girl
who in one short winter has given
herself to Cert and lies convincingly
to her mother about her absences from
home cannot be spanned adequately.
This broken span, however. is the
one unsatisfying moment in the read
ing of the book. Once accepted. Jen-
ny's affair with Cert carries on to alb
sorbing moments of intense struggle
between Jenny and her inhibitions, and
one of the most dramatic climaxes in
literature since Mrs. Nora Helmers
exit.
One thing more-we feel so grateful
to the publisher for introducing "Jen-
n.y. to the American public that we
should perhaps not complain Of the
more than occasional typographical err
rors which occur. Nevertheless since

Of the first of the Borzoi- -Gyllendal
books to be published in this country
as importations from the famous Scan

with strong constitutions. it provides
a thrilling adventure and one that he

The author CONSIDERABLY arranges
matters so that we are not too sud
denly thrown into a somewhat alien
atmosphere. We reach the town in
the company of Parks, a young man
from Wisconsin who is out to see life
in the West. There is no doubt about
his accomplishing his purpose. From
the first chapter he finds himself
drawn into the mystery and intrigue
that has followed the holdup of the
Great West Limited and the murder
of its leading characters through his
eyes. and we soon begin to form
shrewd suspicions-most of which are
wrong. Then, too, he meets Celia the
Sheriff's daughter, a young woman
with an unusually long list of good
qualities, and from the first time he
sees her we know what will happen to
him. AS to Bill Broderick. the Sheriff
but it would not be fair to give
any one even the slightest hint about
the Sheriff. To most of us, the only
association we have with that Of
