the Governor is Democrat, this would
make places for two Democrats in each

that he would be able to hold many
members in line who might otherwise

The Nevada legislature has solved
the rowing sheep question. They en-
acted a law compelling all the aheep
owners to pay license to the counties
in which they run their sheep, unless
they owned one acre of land for every
two head of sheep on the range. The
nonresident sheepmen, who have been
in the habit of allowing their sheep to
eat up and forever ruin Nevada ranges
without paying cent for it, appealed
to the Supreme Court, of the State on
ground that the law was unconstitut-
ional. But that body decided that the
law was right and could be enforced
Therefore the foreign sheepmen must
pay tho license or stay out of Nevada
1t would be a good law to enact for
Idaho, and our representatives in the
legislature at Boise next month will
please take note of the fact. Such a
law would give the counties some rev.
enue from the rowing bands of sheep
that now eat off the ranges and pay
nothing for Montpelier Examiner.

MUSIC ROOMS.
Devices OF the Architect to Secure the
Best Resonance


Best Resonance.
Architects should keep in mind the gold
en- rule, that resonance, such as is to be
obtained by thin, elastic Innings, or eyon
by masses of air judiciously distributed. Is
thing to be sought in designing rooms
for bearing music or for public speaking.
while echo, such rs is produced by hard.
unyielding surfaces, is to be avoided as
much as possible. Every architect who
has ever designed a music room for q pri-
vate house knows how greatly the effect of
music is improved by lining the walls of
the room, and, il possible, the ceiling,
with thin wooden paneling, and every lay
man who has ever bought plano must
have noticed what depth and richness are
given to the tones of one played in the
dealers warerooms by the sympathetic vi
brations with which the strings of the sur
sounding instruments respond to the play
ing.
For 20 centuries at least architects have
sought in various ways to secure similar
resonance in largo rooms, understanding
thoroughly the advantages to be derived
from it. The Gewandhaus, at Leipsic, re-
puted to be acoustically the most perfect
music hall in the world, owed it's quality
to the fact that it was surrounded by thin
partitions, set n little distance from tho
main walls of the building, which, by
their own elasticity, joined to that of the
mass of air between them and the walls
outside, provided the resonance which ex-
perience has shown to be Indispensable.
In the same way La Scala theater, at Mi
Ian, one of the largest and acoustically the
most perfect of all European theaters, was
lined throughout with thin woodwork.
The ancient Greeks, to secure resonance
without the use Of woodwork, placed under
the seats of their theaters earthen pots,
with the mouth turned toward the stage,
the vibrating mass of air in these serving
to reinforce the sound. On the other
hand, rooms in freproof buildings, sur
rounded on all sides by hard, rigid masses
of masonry, are very apt to be acoustically
bad. Even where the large rooms, by
careful study of their proportions, are sue
cessful, the smaller rooms, which cannot
be so proportional, are in such buildings
almost always intolerably noisy.

QUEER LOVEMAkiNG.
A South American Bird Which Wins Its
Mate by Dancing.

There is bird in South America that
makes love with its feet. 1t is handsome
creature, but walks clumsily, and the only
sound 1t can utter is hoarse cluck 1t
dances, however, in q way that wins ad-
miration from the females of its sex,
though its antics only serve as an incen-
tive TO laughter to human beings who see
them.
This bird, known as the cock of the
rock, lives in the northern mountainous
portion of South America. 1t Is about
the size of large chicken.
The entire bird, body, head, wings and
tail is blood red in color, with the excep-
ton of the tail feathers, which have mar
row band of brown across them near the
ends, which are tipped with buff On the
head is crest of feathers like great red
ball, which contracts or expands at the
pleasure of its owner.
When the mating season comes, seven
to ten males seek some secluded spot,
where there is level patch of ground, and
clear it Of any sticks, stones or leaves,
stamping down the dirt till it is hard and
level
Then they call the females, who stand
at the edges OF this novel arena. One at q
time tho males then perform O most curl
GUS dance. Each dancer will first strut
up and down few times and then, to the
apparent delight of the rest, commence to
[ caper around in an extremely ludicrous
manner, spreading his tail and wings,
putting up his crest, bowling to the others,
and at the same time keeping up hopping
gait until he Is exhausted.
When all the males have danced, each
female will choose mate, and the happy
| pairs depart to begin housekeeping
