IOWA OPINION AND NoTEo.

The Des Moines Register and Leader

square of Iowa territory, if not in ev-
cry five miles square there should be

piled mechanics should be taught, as
we'll as the rudi,nents Of agriculture
and domestic science. together with
such general courses as will encour-
age a thirst for learning"

entail trains-which take one west at a

text A'Sking Arose Who Knew Not

The Lions Story,

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa
they were sometimes seen instructing
one another In voluntary gymnastics
and practlcing their leaps, making a
bush play the part OF the absent game.
hunter tells the story Of Il lion
which had missed Il zebra by miscalcu-
latlng the distance repeating the jump
several times for his own instruction
Two of his comrades appearing whllG
he was engaged In this exercise, he
led them around rock TO show them
how matters stood ana then, return
ing to the starting point, completed
the lesson by making final leap. The
animals kept roaring during the whole
of the curious scene-"tall<ing togeth-
err" as the hunter who watched them
said.

INVESTING YOUR MONEY.
IL Is Not a Wise Plan to Put All Your
Eggs In One Basket.

The late Marshall Field once said
that IL he could be right 81 per cent OF
the time he was satisfied He was
talking of investments, and the Field
estate at the time of his death totaled
some S43,000.000.
Shrewd as Russell Sage was, his ex
ecutors found many worthless stocks
I'm his vaults, although they found
plenty OF others that were not worth
less.
The Sages and the Fields long age
adopted the plan OF the insurance com
panies and the banks, says Invest
ments. The one point I'm II that should
be dinncd into our ears thoroughly Is
that wide distribution Is both wise
and necessary.
No matter how small the sum, Ii
should not all be invested in any one
thing. No single venture OF whatevei
nature can be relied upon to remain
constant and unchanged. Securltie'
are live things because the enterprise
they represent nre alive.

MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Deep oullies That Enact the Role Of
Organ Pipes.

Rather uncanny II would be TO walk
unsuspectingly along some quiet val
ley path and suddenly hear, from some
mountain or cliff overhead, weird,
strange sounds that resemble both the
tone Of y human voice and the note OF
a stringed instrument Yet there are
certain parts OF the world which boast
mountains and hills and cliffs that
make these queer noises. In the Pyre-
nees, for instance, there are points
which seem to throw out wild musical
notes when the wind Is blowing from
certain directions. The natives. OF
course are terribly superstltlous re
gardlng them. They imagine they pos
tess superhuman powers and that they
are listening 20 the voices OF the gods
when they hear them.
The scientific explanation Of the phe-
nomenon Is simple enough. If ii IL a
cliff from which noises emerge the
face can be seen 60 be crossed with
deep gullies. These might be com
pared, In the purpose they serve, to
the pipes Of an organ. On certain oc-
casions layer OF air seems TO get
caught between the cliff and the trees
which border II, closing up the opening
so that when the wind blows into the
gullles music comes forth. So pro-
nounced and continued are the sounds
I'm some Of the parts that two OF the
cliffs have been named "snorers." 1t
Is interesting 10 note from this how
man makes use OF the principles adopt
ed through the ages by nature In the
creating Of his musical Instruments

BOTTLE BROKERS'.
a Curious Branch of the Fiery Vodka
Traffic In Russia

frafhc IN Russia.
Since the edict OF Jyne 6, 1904, the
production and sale OF vodka, that fiery

have been controlled by the govern

the vodka traffic In European Russia
more than One-half ara conducted by
the state under the direct supervision
Of the ministry of finance.
Most of the employees in the govern
ment vodka shops are widows and
orphans OF deceased officials Of the
state. These shops are conducted H.
m orderly manner, and no drinking Is
permitted on the premises. The fact
that n charge ranging from l cent to
cents Is made for the bottle In which
the vodka is sold has given rise to n
strange business.
Bottle brokers, as they are called,
haunt the neighborhood OF the vodka
shops, watching for some thirsty per.
son who needs the loan of one or two
kopecks (a half a cent or n cent with
which to make the purchase of n bottle
OF the desired beverage.
Perhaps the buyer has but six ko'
pecks and he requires eight TO get a
bottle OF vodka. The broker" lends
him the two kopecks to make up the
desired amount, and, after the recep-
tacle has been drained under the vigi-
liant eye Of the broker, the bottle is
turned over TO him. He takes 1t back
TO the shop and sells 1t for three ko
pecks, thus making n profit OF one ko
peck.

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer

1t Is learned that a number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered In Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who had been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some OF the many friends
OF Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding OF an essay. said to DO
highly poetical in character written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famous crater of Sayaii or the pit OF
Kilauea In Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and
number Of smaller verse compost
lions
SIN another manuscript, a blank
verse relation OF well.known legend
of Maui, OF considerable length, but
unfinished. has also come to light and
