curious thing happened while Carl E. Akely
was with Theodore Roosevelt In Africa. In one
OF the articles which he wrote the colonel told
OF an experience which Mr. Akey had with
wounded leopard. The encounter which the tax
idermst had with the leopard occurred about
fourteen years ago and Colonel Roosevelt told
the story 1t had been told him, of course

Taxidermst Akely with leopard while hunting
with the Roosevelt party, and there was good
deal of comment TO the effect that II perhaps was
a good thing for Mr. Roosevelt that he was not
the one who had had this nerce fight with the
African beast.
About fourteen years ago Mr.. Akey, who was
then connected with the Field Museum OF Nat
ural History In Chicago, went TO Africa with DR..
Daniel G.. Elliot, who was curator OF zoology OF

benefactor. One night in the heart OF Africa Mr.

In the early days when lumber was
cheap, buildings were built OF logs.
or at-least had heavy frames. Under
these conditions the rectangular barn
was the one naturally used. and peo-
pie have followed in the footsteps OF
their forefathers in continuing this
form of barn. The result is that the
economy and advantages OF the round
barn have apparently never been con.
sidered. This is because they are not
obvious at first sight, and become
fully apparent only after detailed
study Of the construction. For these
reasons, the rectangular form still
continues to be built, although 1t re-
quires much more lumber. AS the
price of lumber has advanced so mate
rally In recent years. the possible
saving in this material is large item,
and well worth investigating.
The difficulty with most round barns
that have been built, thus far, is that
they do not have self-supporting
roof, and consequently lost many Of
the advantages cs a properly con-
structed round barn. This is the prin-
cipal reason why round barns have
not become more popular. A straight
roof necessarily requires many sup
ports In the barn below. These are
both costly ,and inconvenient, and
make the roof no stronger than a
dome-shaped, self-supporting roof
which nearly doubles the capacity of
the NOW.
Many who have thus disregarded
capacity have also wasted lumber and
made a needless amount of work by
chopping or hewing out the sill and
plate, thus requiring more labor and
lumber. besides sacrificing the great
er strength Of a built-up sill.
Another reason for the scarcity OF
round barns is the difficulty in get
ting them built. Most carpenters
hesitate to undertake the work be,
cause In the erection of round barn
the construction should be entirely
different from that of the rectangu
lar form. Many new problems pre-
| sent themselves, but when these are
once understood, the round barn of
fers no more difficulties in construc
tion than the rectangular form.
The first thing to consider in the
erection Of a barn is a convenient
arrangement for the purpose for which
II Is to be used.
Considering that the barn on dairy
farm is used twice every day In the
year. and that for six months each
year the cows occupy 1t almost con
tinuously. and that during this time
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1910-09-01

a large amount of the labor OF the
farm is done inside the barn. 1t Is
evident that the question of Its con-
venience is vital one.
The circular construction is the
strongest, because it takes advantage
of the lineal, instead of the break
ing strength of the lumber. Eaoh
row of boards running around tho
barn forms a hoop that holds the
barn together. A barrel. properly
hooped and headed, is almost indes-
tructible, and much stronger than
box, although the hoops are small.
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in lineal direc-
tion. Any piece Of timber Is many
times stronger on lineal pull than
on breaking stress.
All exposed surfaces of round barns
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which Is the stronges'

II Pays to Face This Question
Squarely.

Have you a home? If not it is time
you were preparing to build one. To
be honest with yourself, if you are a
married man, you can't afford to waste
money in rent paying, If you have a
wife and children, your most sacred
duty is 70 provide them with a home.
This can only be done, if you are not
in affluent circumstances, by laying
away a part of what you are earning.
The substantial wealth of the rich peo-
pie of the world came through the saw
ing habit. a few dollars laid away
each week or month will hardly be
missed and if properly and judiciously
invested will enable you to buy your
self a home in a few years time. 1t
is not necessary to have the full amount
of the purchase price before buying and
enjoying the benefits of ownership.
Houses purchased on the monthly pay
ment plan of the Salt Lake Security &
Trust company are ready for occupancy
as soon as the first deposit has been
made.
When by careful saving you have &C
cumulated fund of few hundred dol
lars it is time to quit rent paying and
look about you for the sort of house
you want. Your savings will pay the
comparatively small initial deposit, and
the rent you have been giving the land
lord will thereafter apply on the pur-
chase of your own home. In few
years you will own the place and have
the first start towards an independent
| fortune.

APPROVED AT THE POLLS
Cleveland Traction Company Will Get
Franchise Proposed by Judge
Robert W. Tsyler.

Cleveland, O., Feb 17.-Turning out Ia
vote in a bowling blizzard, the people OF
Cleveland today ended the fight for low
street car fares begun fifteen years ago
and made famous by Tom L. Johnson il
his four terms as mayor.
The new franchise proposed by Judge
Robert W. Tayler of the federal court
was approved in a referendum election
by majority Of $780, the largest ma
jority ever given to a public measure in
Cleveland.
The grant Is said to be a hitherto I'M
tried experiment in municipal control OF
the profits Of public utility corporations.
The basis of the franchise Is that street
car service under control of the city must
be furnished by the Cleveland Railway
company at cost plus per cent return
TO the stockholders on their investment
For the first eight months the fare will
be three cents with a penny charge for a
transfer, this fixed rate being made as
test The maximum rate of fare allow
able in the term of the grants years-is
4 cents or seven tickets for % cents.
A street railway commissioner acts as
the adviser for the city in the regulation
of service and fares, and is given access
to the cOmpany's books. Gerhardt NJ
Dahl. former lieutenant of Senator La
Toilette in Wisconsin, has been named
to this place.
The three-cent fare goes into operation
tomorrow.

IDAHO LAND FRAUD CASE
Decision of the Court Against the
Contentious of Attorneys for
the Government.

Boise, Ida, Feb. 17.-Judge Dietrich de
livered a blow to the government in the
trial Of William +. KettenbaCh, George IL
Kester and William Dryer of Lewiston
on a charge of conspiracy TO defraud the
government out of timber lands today
Motions by the defense against the ad-
mission of testimony of alleged dummy
entrymen were sustained in that the court
held that the government must show that
arrangements for the sale of the lands en-
tered were made before filed upon, and
that money was furnished by the defend
ants. This ruling is in line with the de-
cision in the Williamson case and will
mean the barring of much testimony the
government was prepared to offer.
The decision was rendered at the AFTER
noon session of the trial after the point
at issue had been argued by counsel for
the government and the defense in the
absence of the jury. Examination OF Wit
nesses then proceeded, the only witnesses
Of the day being Ivan B. Cornell Of Port
land, formerly of Lewiston, and Fred W
Shafer of Lewiston, both of whom testi-
fled TO receiving money from kester 10

fraudulent transactions.

al TROVATORE."

Madam Ester Adaberto made her first
appearance in Salt Lake last night as
LeOnOra in III TTovatoTe." She was the
last to be heard of the four soprano solo
lists with the Lambardi opera company
and, excellent as are the others, there
is no doubt in the minds of those who
heard her sing that she is the star OF
the organization. Rarely is a dramatic
soprano possessed of a voice at the same
time pure, flexible and resonant, and ca
pable of shading from the soft tones to
the clear ringing ones that fill the en-
tire house. Even her meZZo voice has
carrying quality, and the range is re-
markable going from high d to low G
in the aria, ON Rosy Wings Of Love, a"
of the last act. Her voice is so well
poised that it seems like on instrument
through the registers, an effect greatly
desired by all artists. In dramatic action
Madam Adaberto IS well schooled and she
both plays and sings the difficult role
with emotional intensity.
Another artist heard last night is Ales-
sandTO ScalabTini, dramatic tenor. His
voice was first heard from behind the
scenes in the serenade, with harp ac-
compartment. The surprise of the liquid
tones before the singer was seen gave
effectiveness to this number. His voice
is of great compass, as evidenced by the
ease with which he took high in the
"Supplice Infant" This aria is the de-
light of dramatic tenOrs, not only for
its exquisite melody, but for the oppor-
tunity il gives for using this note in the
finale. The song was repeated in full,
and at its close a slight fatigue was no
ticed in the tenOrs voice, but it did not
detract from the beauty of the closing
numbers.
Dolores Frau, as the gypsy, Azucena,
gave a dramatic Interpretation of the
songs that showed great expressive abil-
ity The weird character of the music
of this role is in strong contrast with
the sWeeter melodies of the other parts.
In the duet, Back to Our Mountains,
between the gypsy and ManricO, the
voices blended with exquisite effect.
The fourth of the aggregation of tai
ent to appear in II TTOvatore" was
Giuseppe Maggi. who won his laurels III
La Gioconda" at the opening perform
ance The opportunities of the role last
night were not so great as IN the other
opera, but in the aria, "Of Her Smile the
Radiant Cleaning" he triumphed again.
The opera is remarkable for the cho-
ruses for the mems voices and for the
well known Anvil Chorus" In the rem
dition of this number there was vol
ume of sound as of hundreds of voices,
but the lack of effective staging marred
the beauty of the performance In most
cases that can be overlooked, but in this
familiar chorus, so often presented with
every accompaniment of scenic beauty,
il was a real defect. In the ''MiSereTe'
only the beauty of the music is apparent,
as the chorus is given from behind the
scenes.
Tonight Faust" will be heard, with
Madam Adaberto in the title role. This
is an opportunity to hear a great mu-
stefan that should be heartily taken ad-
vantage of, especially by students of mu-
sic
