School Houses Should be Ventilated
Des Moines, Nov. 27-(Special to
The Review)-As winter draws near
there is tendency on the part of
school boards and teachers to take
measures for the protecting of the
scholars in the public and parociial
schools by mailing down windows or
putting storm sash on school build
ings. OF course it is important that
the children should be properly pro-
tected, but it is the height of fool
ishness to follow the usual custom of
excluding all fresh air from the school
room.
Where artificial systems of ventila-
ton are not installed it is essential
that the windows in the room shall
be opened so that an abundance of
fresh air may be admitted. When the
weather is extremely cold this system
of ventilation will have to be modi-
fed by periodically opening windows,
but in mild weather windows may be
lowered from the top and screened
with cheese cloth so as to admit an
abundance Of wholesome air.
Most people do not understand that
coughs and colds and respiratory diff
ficulties so prevalent in the winter
season among school children are due
to the lack of sufficient ventilation and
to the experimenting of rooms in which
the children are compelled to sit for
hours at a time. The temperature of
school room should not be above 6S
degrees Fahrenheit and it may be one
or two degrees lower. These precau-
tons will prevent many of those dis
turbing maladies incident to the win
ter season.
People in general keep their houses
too warm. 1t is this superheating of
houses and school rooms which invite
so much throat and lung trouble in
the winter season. Coughs, colds,
pneumonia and tuberculosis are a few
of the evils resulting from the super
heated unventilated living or sleeping
room. Bedroom windows should be
kept open wide throughout the entire
winter and children should be given
the advantage of common sense en-
both in the school room
and in the home. The fear which
possesses many people unduly with
reference to the open air is a tradi-
ton which has cost the state of Iowa
many lives. Give the children of the
public and parochial schools plenty of
fresh air. Boards of education should
see to it that as winter closes in the
school houses are equipped with sim
pie devices by which to admit an
abundance of good, pure air into the
rooms where children are confined
long hours at exhausting toll.

DIG UP TON OF BONES.
Milwaukee Graders Are Unearthino
Interesting Remains Of Iowa's
Earlier Inhabitants.

Excavations now being made in
building the new line of the Milwaukee
railroad in western Iowa, are bringing
to light in such vast numbers the fos-
sill remains of the great monsters of
the Plocene and Miocene ages as to
attract the attention of scientists of
all parts of the country, says the
Perry Chief. Already the excavations
show the immense burial field to ex-
tend from Sioux Falls, S. D., to Ham
burg, Iowa, and from the Missouri
river to point half way across the
state of Iowa, embracing probably 49,
600 square miles. From this great
area thousands and thousands of
pounds of what were once the bones
of giant animals of another age are
being brought to the surface almost
daily. So common are they that they
are no longer considered curiosities
by the workmen. Instead, they are
being used for ballast along with the
rocks and gravel which come out with
them. The huge quantity of remains
show conclusively that n the far past
western Iowa was much more densely
populated than it is at the present
time. And to support this population
the territory must have been covered
with growth so dense that the most
luxuriant forest of today would seem
but barren plain when compared to
it.
The Spanish conquerors are cred
tied with having brought the first
horses to America, yet 100000 years
before the days of Columbus the
prairies of Iowa literally teemed with
the forefathers of the present day
horse. Some of these were gigantic
in stature, while others We're scarcely
larger than an ordinary dog. The
railroad graders are bringing up their
remains by the ton.
The days of the Iowa prehistoric
horse were also the days of the Iowa
prehistoric camel. This Iowa camel
was no small affair according to the
fossil bones which are daily brought
to the surface. He was big and
strong and would compare favorably
with the best of the kind in modern
circus.
Remains of the great Pleistocene
beaver have been found all the way
from Sioux Falls to the Nishnabot-
ny valley near Oakland. The remains
of this great rodent are not as plenti.
full as are those of the horse or ele-
plant, but they are sufficient in mum.
Der to indicate that there must have
been beaver dams in those days which
were really worth while. And as for
beaver coats, every lady in that land
might have had half dozen coats
without being able to brag about it.
There were ground sloths in abun-
dance, but the only carnivorous ami
NAL yet unearthed is the great bear.
And but one skeleton of this animal
has been discovered. That he had no
enemies, or if he had, that he was not
seriously troubled by them, is shown
by the fact that his teeth were worn
to meer blunt stumps, denoting his
advanced age.

Anyone Can Drive
Aeroplane Without
Turning Flip Flop
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The
Wright brothers announce the
invention of a device by means
of which an aviator can fly with
out concerning himself in the
least about turning a somersault
in his aeroplane. 1t has been
practically perfected and demon
strated at Dayton. A. L. Welsh,
one of the pioneer Wright fly
ers, announced today that he
had flown craft equipped with
the device recently more than
half an hour, in stiff wind,
with complete success.
1t brings the driving of fly
ing machines practically within
the range of any ordinary per-
sons capabilitv without an in
tricate knowledge of aeronautics.
The device is so small that it
scarcely can be detected even
by those familiar with aero
planes. 1t consists of a small
steel bar. weighing less than
four ounces. which hangs as
pendulum from an arm which
projects from under the opera
tors seat This pendulum is
set so delicately that il responds
to the slightest deviation of the
aeroplane from the horizontal
laterally. If the craft is thrown
from its balance only the frac-
ton of an inch, the movement
of the pendulum causes two
small valves 70 open, which
make either a miniature tank of
compressed air or the compress
sion from the engine forces a
piston back and forth. which
communicates with the warping
levers and distorts the ends of
the aeroplane so as to throw the
craft back to a. horizontal posi-
ton.
