MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees and
Bearing Sands In Hawaii.


In certain parts of the world 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 a Pc
culiar 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 border
ing 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 partly closed by mica.
Many more examples might be cited
to show that nature makes use of prin-
ciples 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 i'm Hawaii is a sand bank fifty feet
high which. when the hand is moved
about in the loose sand, produces a
sound like that of a melodeon. 1t is
said that if the observer slides down
the bank on his back. dragging both
hands in the sand, the sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder.-Harper S
Weekly.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He wal treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
vas done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
1--WE decided that 1t could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after u arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and oon the ure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann. Proctor, MINI.

TAX PLACES BEYOND REACH
Object Lesson for the People Is the
High Tariff on Wooden
Products.

The use of wooden blankets in the
United States has steadily diminished
until the average for each family now
is Just half what it was in 1850, says
the Wall Street Journal, and this is
attributed to the excessive cost result
ing from the high tariff on wool. In
so years the population has increased
200 per cent. while the combined manu-
facture and importation of blankets
has increased only SO per cent. Thir-
ty-one million people purchased H.
115,000 square yards OF blankets in
1850, and $4,000 people bought 49,
$4,000 square yards in 1910.
Anybody who will take the trouble
to trace the progress of the wooden in
dustry will discover that from the
very outset of the republic 1t has
never stood upon its own legs without
tariff props" says the Wall Street
Journal. $50 early as 1916 1t got a
bonus of rs per cent, then 30 per
cent, 40 per cent. and so per cent.
(tariff Of 1882, when the country,
sick of being continually taxed for a
losing industry, let it down gradually
to bonuses of A per cent, 40 per
cent, 80 per cent, 20 per cent. and is
per cent. (tariff of 1850. There the
wooden manufacture rested until the
Civil war and army contracts enabled
it to be boosted up again. AT present
the bonuses on blanket and some
other wooden exotics are supported by
a scale of duties which has scared up
to 1872 per cent. ad valorem.
THE result was the substitution Of
the cotton comforter which cannot
be washed and is a well recognized
purveyor of typhoid and other dis
eases, In place of the wooden blanket,
which can be and is washed by the
careful housekeeper, and all but the
well-to-do must SILVER under the germ
no%urishing quilted comforter in order
to sustain a moribund and pampered
industry"

Legislative Expenses.

When the Democrats got control Of
the house Of representatives they
found that institution costing the tax
payers about $4,000 a year. The re-
trenchments and savings Immediately
proposed amount to $22S, 900, or about
a quarter Of the total. Mr.. Palmer Of
Pennsylvania, who has made a care
full study Of the subject, believes that
with a free hand he could run the
house for $500, 900 a year and make a
profit from 100000 to $15O,OOO at this
figure. Such economy and business
like management is not to be expect
ed in a political party, but the reck-
less waste of the past can be reduced
for a time at least.

Couldn't See the Resemblance.

They have been joking Assistant
Treasurer James A. Mathews Of the
Guardian bank, on his resemblance to
President Taft, and Mr.. Mathews has
steadily refused to be annoyed there
by. So the jokers subsidized and the
joke died a natural death.
Until the other night. when Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathews dined together with
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Harmon and their
little daughter, when the Taft resem-
blance was revived. Turning to young
Miss Harmon, Mr.. Mathews asked
whether she, too, thought he looked
like the president.
Dorothy studied long and earnestly.
Then she answered:

said of the harem skirt:
1T will soon be so widely worn that
the old gag, perpetrated in the '40s on
men, may profitahly be revived for
women victims.
Some sharper, you know, will re-
vive the gag by advertising in the

COURT IN HARD CASE
SUPREME TRIBUNAL CONFRONT
ED WITH PROBLEM.
Enforcement of Law Against the
Trusts is Matter for sedate Judg-
ment-Common Sense View
of the Matter.

When two are In a fight there Is a
type Of citizen who stands at the edge
Of the crowd and shouts, 'Let me get
at him." One sees a likeness to this
safely belligerent person in most of
the critics who do not like the way
the Supreme court has tackled the
trust problem. One wonders what
these critics would do if the crowd
parted and really did let them get at
him."
To drop the rowdy metaphor, it is
probable that the Supreme court itself
is not satisfied with its decision. The
court was very frankly not clear what
should be done. But if the courts POI
sition is admittedly indefinite, how
completely nebulous is the alternative
offered by the critics.
To say that the law should be an
forced against trust ~lawbreakers as 1t
is against individual lawbreakers is to
make a noise like sounding brass and
tinkling cymhals. Everybody accepts
the law enforcement theory. There is
mere sound and tinkle again in declar-
ing that the trusts should be de-
stroyed, no one from the chief justice
down knowing precisely what a trust
is. And SO there is the "reminiscences
of the cracking Of thorns under a pot
in the demand that the trust leaders
be put in Jail. Put them in jail, cor
daily; but, after they are there, how
will that fact help the solution of
pressing economic problems?
Where the court appears to much
better advantage than its censurers is
in this, that the court apparently res
Lies that it has faced and still faces
a big problem and that the end is not
to be found In any one statute, or in
any one judgment, or, indeed, in any
one period.
Some constructive criticism of the
court also may have evinced this rea-
lization; but 1t is not to be found in
the bulk Of the criticism which re.
solves itself simply into the demand,
Bust the Trusts"
From the standpoint OF the optimist:
May 1t not be considered hopeful
when judges of a high court take cog
nizanee Of facts and conuitions whose
existence all other intelligent persons
recognize? Has it not been urged
with force against the body Of our
Jurisprudence that 1t holds too close
to precedent-that it is not sufficient
ly flexible in applying principles to
changed conditions? Certainly that
criticism cannot be leveled at the
late Sherman act decisions. Those
judgments have put the law-not
alone the specific statute-into the
current of affairs-not across the cur
rent.
1t may be believed that affairs will
Lave a smoother, better course with
the law going along in control than II
the law were merely set in opposition.
