THE Ozark Mountains, in Missouri,
are sort of wonderland which need
some Western Washington Irving to
develop. What with wildernesses,
marble caverns, lost silver mines and
outlaws caves, the whole region seems
to belong more to the domain of
romance than OF fact. There ALSO are
the clans that smack of the Scottish
Highlands, and a rude system of ven
delta, which, however, is distinctly
American, and stops at nothing short
of the church door. sometimes not at

Cling was followed by the hardy ma

honest means, and the pilchard, a
fish peculiar to the Cornish shores,
engages the attention of large num-

the Cornish duck. From a station
commanding the shore man, known
as the "huer," is constantly stationed

When sighted a "hue and cry" is
raised, and the fishermen man their

severely f0lt, but In tho older parts Of
the country They have become M In
tolcrabls nuisance. Tho records Of tale
In a single county MI hundreds OF vol
unes. Aud We cannot ignore the fact
that the evil Ia cumulative, and that
time will certainly place us Ia the con
dition the eastern states are now groan-
ing under.
We have adopted the Australian bal
lot system, and experience confirms its
merits. Why should We not take an
other good idea from the antipodes, and
follow their land transfer system? II is
simplicity itself. II is no fad or expert
mental theory, for it has stood the test
OF time both in Australia and parts Of
the dominion Of Canada. According to
the Torrens system, rs it is called, the
purchaser Of realty applies to the state
for guarantee. The state searches title
and 9 . to tho remedy Of imperfections.
Then it issues to the applicant a state
certificate. From that date there il no
more examination OF title. Real estate
is transferred by certificate, just as rail
road shares or other stocks are. With
cash transfer, the former owner sur
renders his certificate Of title, and the
state issues another to the new holder.
On each occasion a small fee is charged,
sufficient to pay the cost Of the transac
ton and provide an insurance fund
against possible loss. The fund is a
necessity, since the state, having once
issued a certificate, assumes all respon-
sibility for defects OF title. Consequent
ly, the owner Of realty holds it, not from
the former owner, but in effect from the
state itself.
The Australian system is a modern
system. IT is q less expensive system.
II is a more convenient system. Mon
tana makes it her pride that she is al
ways in the forefront Of the tide Of prog
ress, and that the old ruts Of tradition
have no power to clog the wheels Of her
advance. Massachusetts anticipated us
in tins adoption Of the Australian ballot;
iii legislators must be on the alert, or
the eastern state will score another
point by reaping the benefits Of the
Torrens system before any other state
in the union.

LAND TRANSFER METHODS.

Our whole system Of real estate titles
is cumbrous and antiquated in the ex-
treme. The nan who wants to buy a
million bushels OF wheat can 90 into
the Chicago market and complete the
transaction IN less time than it takes to
write these words. The man who would
invest a few hundred dollars in real es-
tate in Helena or elsewhere must sub
nit to vexatlous delays and additional
expense, that he may secure a clear title
to his property. 1t may take him a
week to unravel the intricacies OF the
title, and the investigation will cost him.
perhaps, as much as $50 or $50. That is
all wrong. Land should be as easy OF
transfer as wheat Or any merchandise.
Our present system is at variance with
all u modern, liberty-loving ~institu-
tions. 1t is a relic Of feudal England,
where they set up their scanty acres as
q kind Of fetch and paid homage to the
possessors. Virtues, manliness, money
counted as little, if n were not ranked
among the landed gentry. And this
privileged class wanted no intrusion, nc

One ,,srchnnt,s Rnld strnk..

This story is told of one of the lead
ing dry goods men of New York: He
was carrying heavy stock of fine mil
linery goods when the round topped
derby hat for women became suddenly
fashionable The market was flooded
with them. and they were regarded IS
the only thing to be worn on the head.
This merchant foresaw a great loss on
his stock of millinery, and decided to
prevent it. He first bought up all the
derby hats he could and then advef-
tised them extensively, offering them
for sale at ridiculously low prices.
The result was that the derby fell
into disfavor among fashionable women
at once, and he saved his market for
his more expensive goods. 1t is by
strokes such as this and the careful
watching of the market and feeling of
the popular pulse that fortunes are
made by the few extremely successful
merchants. Brooklyn Life.

The Planet Jupiter,

a rsEiant star will adorn the sky for
several months to come. 1t is Jupiter.
the largest and grandest planet of the
solar system.
He is now in opposition with the sun,
rising at sunset, reaching the meridian
at midnight and setting at sunrise, be-
ing visible through the whole night.
Jupiter in opposition, or opposite the
sun, as the word implies, is at his great
est distance from the sun and nearest
to the earth, which accounts for his
superb appearance.
This majestic planet is equal in vol
ume to 1900 worlds like ours, and casts
a shadow that extends so, 900, 900 of miles
in space. He is called planet, but is
more like sun, and probably gives out
some light and heat. The rapid changes
visible on his surface through the tele-
scope Indicate the action of mighty
forces, and a possible condition ap-
proaching incandescence.
Countless ages must pass before the
planets fires grow low, and are succeed
ed by periods of development. perfec-
ton and decay, the three processes that
rule the material universe.
Observers, therefore, may watch the
progress of world making on this
stately member of the suns family, as
the telescope reveals the varying belts,

the famous red spot, showing that fierce
forces are raging within and beneath the
cloud atmosphere that envelops the
planet.
