erected as laboratory for conduct
ing this work.
Iowa has according to the last cen
sus, $55, 600. 900 invested in farm
machinery, a greater amount than
any other state in the Union, and
the annual expenditure for farm

DiDlomatso Permanency.

It is likely to be the case in America
that as time goes on and our relations
with foreign powers become more and
more complicated and pressing perma-
ncnce in consular and diplomatic off1oa,
based upon knowledge and proved 1T
ness will be the rule. This may mean
that It will not be so common a prac-
tice to tnke scholars and authors from
private life and place them suddenly
In foreign consulates and missions.
But even then 1t is likely that our liter
ature will be enriched by the work OF
men who have become authors while
enjoying the opportunities for new
studies and broader observation afford
cd by the foreign service Of their coun-
try, so that If hitherto literature has
contributed to diplomacy hereafter we
shall see our diplomacy contributing to
our literature, as has not infrequently
already been the case.-Ce Century.

An Inconvenaent Piano

Leopold de Meyer Of Dresden, a bril-.
liant and popular pianist Of his day,
was once summoned to play before the
sultan at Constantinople. Going thith-
er, he borrowed grand plano from
one Of the Austrian secretaries of lega-
ton and had it set up in large recep-
tion room at the palace. There he
awaited the coming of the sultan, but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back in alarm and
demanded Of his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs.
Explanations followed, but were In

watching q spider a. work.

Watch spider spin his web, md
shall be surprised If. you ever kill q
spider again. 1t takes him about an
hour. somewhat less, for he is mar
velously quick worker, and there is
something almost terrifying about the
skill with which he works. There is
his body, no larger than a match's
head, yet inclosed within that mere
dot of nature. there is an intelligence
which is able first to prospect the area
for his web. then to plan 1t out like a
geometrician and then to carry out his
plan with workmanlike precision.
Meanwhile, too 1t must be remember
ed, be is not only doing his thinking
and his weaving, but also spinning the
material for It, all IN that mite Of q
body. But perhaps the uncanniest fea-
ture OF the whole thing Is that tho spi-
der not merely hos his plan clear In his
bead. but knows when he has made
mistakes, and you can see him break
ing OF misplaced threads here md
there. making taut slack lines and So

Birdskin Garment..

Eskimo women wear the most Gu
rious kind Of underclothing, its pecul
tarity being that 1t is made Of the
skins Of birds. These skins, before be-
ing sewed together, are chewed well
BY the women in order to make them
soft. About hundred skins are re-
quired to make a shirt, and the labor
of chewing the skins which form their
garments is quite enough to account
