Several travellers who have return
ed from the heart Of Africa and the
Australasian continent tell wonderful
stories of nest-building people who in
habit the wilds OF those countries.
The bushmen of Australia are, per-
haps, the lowest order of men known
They are so primitive that they do not
know enough TO build even the sim
plest form Of hut for shelter. The
nearest they can approach to it is to
gather a lot of twigs and grass and,
taking them into a thicket or jungle,
build a nest for home.
The nest is usually built large
enough for the family, and if the lat
ter is very numerous then the nests
are of large size. Sometimes the foli-
age above will form a natural cover
ing but there is never any attempt at
constructing a protection from storms

A Visit to the Country.

The feeling of rivalry which exists
between Chicago and st. Louis, be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, and
between many other American cities
of less evenly matched attractions, Is
paralleled in the case of Edinburgh
and Glasgow. These two cities have
been at daggers draw from time i'm
memorial The fact that Edinburgh
seemingly sleeps in classic calm gives
modern Glasgow frequent opportuni-
ties to score a point.

TAFT EXPLAINS PURPOSE.

In Introducing Bill to Amend the Phil
ippine Tariff.
Washington, Jan. 24.-Secretary Taft
has addressed a letter to Chairman
Payne of the house ways and means
committee explaining his purpose in
transmitting to congress the bill to
amend the Philippine tariff. The secre-
tary says that it was found that the
original tariff act of 1902 had a number
of defects, such as the prohibition on
the importation of machinery and Ger
tain other duties not producing suffi-
cient revenue. The present bill was
prepared under the direction of Mr..
Taft while governor of the islands af-
ter public hearings and the most care
full consideration by the commission
and business interests in the United
States, criticism and amendment by
the latter being specially invited. The
secretary refers to the proposed i'm
creased duty on opium and the au-
thorization to the commission to pro-
hibit the importation altogether or to
provide suitable repressive measures,
which it is now powerless to do. Gov
ernor Wright is quoted as saying that
the present customs revenues from
opium are about $4,000 per annum
and some method must be devised of
replacing this revenue.

Decision Against Association
Seeking to Insure Livestock
Against Sickness and Death
NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE LAW
Position That the Farmers co-opera-
tive Livestock Association, Tho I'm.
Incorporated Must Conform to Stat
ute Relating to the Insurance Bush
ness, is Sustained.

Des Moines Jan. "a. - The state au-
thorities yesterday promulgated a very
important ruling, or series of rulings,
regulative of the insurance business in
particular phases. In effect, these ruiz
ings are:
First-That individuals, associations
and partnerships which essay to do
an insurance business must comply
with the laws regulative Of the insur-
ance business to which corporations
engaged in it are subject.
Secondhand live stock cannot be
insured, in Iowa, against sickness and
death, but may be against accident.
Attorney General Mullan furnished
the legal opinion on which these de-
cisions have been promulgated from
the insurance department of the office
Of Auditor of State Carroll
The Farmers Cooperative Livestock
Association Of Cedar Rapids, of which
S. P. Kuhn and j. B. Leverich are the
officers, sought to do business in the
line of insuring Iowa live stock a.
gainst sickness and death, and not be
incorporated, the association, thru its
officers, claiming the right to do an
insurance business without conform
ing to the conditions set out in the
statute affecting corporations engaged
in the insurance business.
Auditor Carroll and Mr.. o. o. Roe
Immediately determined that this was
a form of insurance not authorized by
law, and they insisted that tho unin-
corporated the association must con-
form to the statute relating to the in
surance business. Taken to the at
torney general, the position taken by
the department was sustained absolu-
tely.
The attorney general called attention
to the fact that the statute has de-
fined the specific risks against which
insurance may be written in Iowa.
Since some are named. all others must
be excluded, of course. One subdivis-
ion provides that live stock may be
insured against loss or damage by &C
cident, theft or any unknown or con-
tingent event which may be the sub
iect of legal insurance" The ques-
ton asked was whether insurance "a
gainst sickness and death of live stock
would be contingent event" within
the meaning of the law. Death. it Is
self evident, is not a contingent event,
1t is absolutely certain. instead.
