SINGING HILLS AND CLIFFS
Examples Of the Way In Which Ma
ture Creates Musical Sounds Are
Numerous.

In certain parts Of the Yorld are
| mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains of harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are
called the 'snorers" When the wind
is In the southwest they send forth
peculiar sound not altogether musical.
The faces of these cliffs are marked
by deep gullies open In front, which
may be compared to the pipes Of an
organ. At certain times a stratum of
air, held between the cliffs and bor-
dering trees, closes the openings while
the wind blows freely between through
the gullies, or organ pipes, behind;
hence the music that is heard.
At the confluence of the Orinoco and
the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which
sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon as the musical stones
Of the Orinoco. The music is caused
by the rush of the expanding air
through assures partially closed by
mica.
Many more examples might be cited
to show that nature makes use Of
principles which have been adopted
by man in the creation of musical
sounds. Nor are the musical sounds
of nature confined to rocks. mountains,
and hills, for in Hawaii is sand-bank
fifty feet high which, when the hand
is moved about in the loose sand, pro-
duces a sound like that of melodeon.
1t is said that If the observer

sound becomes as loud as faint thun-

WHERE DYNAMITE is KING
Stupendous Job Of TunnsiIno and Fill
Ing Being Done In New Jer-
sey Mountains.

When the grandfather Of the pres
ent czar found his engineers disput
ing as to the best route for railway
between two cities in his dominions
the autocrat took rules and pencil ant
drew on the map straight line from
the one town to the other.
Build 1t sol" he commanded. And
he was obeyed.
That was the freak Of despotism. In
this present century. skilled engineers
set themselves like task at a saner
bidding. Up In the mountains Of New
Jersey today a great railway is busy
with a cutoff that, when completed
will shorten the right of way by few
miles. Incidentally, this is the larg-
est railroad contract ever undertaken.
The cutoff is being built to save miles
pography of the country is disregard
ed as recklessly as the car disre-
garded 1t in Russia aforetime. Sim
ply, the road must run where the COM
pany wishes 1t to run, not where ma
ture offers a path. A mountain in the
way must be tunneled. valley that
interposes must be filled.
1t Is for this sort of work that the
god of dynamite girds up his loins
and piles miracle on miracle In
achievement. About thirteen cars
loaded with dynamite are sent to the
cutoff from the nearest powder works
each week. Allowing four hundred
and fifty cases, of fifty pounds each,
to car, we have total Of 292.500
pounds used there in single month.
which amounts to almost ten thousand
pounds daily. Just think of it-ten
thousand pounds of dynamite exploded
In that nook amid the mountains every
day! And that has been going on
for year already, and the end Is not
yet.

The Qou's Bath.

Short-coated dogs need grooming as
well as the long-haired varieties. To
keep them in good condition they
should be well brushed every morn
ing.
Opinions differ as to the washing OF
terriers, many people saying they
should not be washed frequently, bran
or sawdust being rubbed well into
their coats to cleanse them; but per-
sonal experience with fox terriers
proves that thoroughly washing them
with good soap and warm water and
disinfectant once a week will keep
them sweet and clean, and absolutely
free from fieas and vermin OF any
description (of course. provided that
bedding. etc, receive proper atten.
tion). The dog must be we'll dried

This Princess an Artist.

Some charming water colors painted
by the Duke of Connaughts daughter,
Princess Patricia, are being greatly
admired at the Royal Amateur Art So
ciety's exhibition. The princess is one
of the most talented artists in the
royal family. In fact, she is an all
round clever girl-a good linguist,
fine musician and noted sportswom-
an, being equally proficient In tennis,
hockey. golf and horseriding. Her
facility with the brush was not ac-
quired without a regular. arduous
course OF study, and she worked inces-
sanity for a number of years at a
private art school In London. Flowers
are her favorite subjects. and few
years ago she exhibited at the New
Gallery a particularly charming pic
ture OF stocks. marigolds and hello
trope. As presents to her friends she
often gives little flower paintings from
her own brush.

LEGACY BROUGHT MUCH WOE
Trouble That Came on Socialist Mem.
ber Of Reichstag Through Be-
quest of Admirer.

Much amusement has been caused
in Berlin, particularly among men,
bers of the reichstag, by the history
of legacy left to a socialist mem
ber by an admiring fellow socialist at
Frankfurt. This man. humble tailor,
left all his worldly belongings to the
politician as a mark of his respect and
esteem for the principles of socialism.
The total value of the estate was
proved at about $3.50, which was duly
handed over to the legatee. Then his
troubles began. The widow, who had
been separated from her husband for
many years, claimed half the estate;
and though her legal rights were nil,
the socialist, true to his principles
gave her SITS which she asked. Short
ly afterwards, the municipal authori
ties came forward and claimed $10C
in respect that the tailor had received
poor relief for some time past. and
this amount was also handed over.
Even then, however, the troubles OF
the legatee were not yet ended. One
day there arrived at his home a large
case, for which he had to pay $72. Re
fusal to accept the case was impossi.
BILE, as it was explained that it con.
tanned an urn in which were the ashes
of the dead tailor. who, in accordance
with his expressed desire, had been
cremated, with the result that his es
tate was liable for the crematorium
fees, and the legatee was properly the
owner of the ashes. The socialist
member thus found hir legacy reduced
to three dollars. and as there is still
some stamp duty to be paid he will
probably find himself out of pocket be-
fore the matter is ended. while there
appears always to be risk of fresh
claims being put in.
