Daniel Boonc's Son in Iowa.

Almost the earliest surveying done
within the present boundaries of Iowa
was the marking of the boundaries of
what was known as the Neutral
Grounds in the northeastern part of
the state. This piece of land, set
aside in 1880 to separate the Sac and
Fox Indians from the Sioux, between
whom there had been long and bloody
warfare. The surveyor appointed to
mark the boundaries of the Neutral
Ground was Nathan Boone, son of the
famous Kentucky backwoodsman, Dan
lei Boone According to. a writer in
the July number of '"The iowa Jour-
nal oftHistory and Politics" published
by the State Historical Society of
Iowa, Boone "was instructed to run a
line from the mouth of the Upper Iowa
to the, source of its first or left hand
fork and thence westward to the sec
Eond or upper fork of the Des SMoines
river. Then twenty miles south and
twenty miles north of this line and
parallel to it two other lines were to
be run between the Mississippi and
the Des Moines." This strip of land,
forty miles wide and extending from
the Mississippi to the Des Moines, in
cluded the whole or parts of the pres
cnt counties of Allamakec, Clayton,
Winnishiek, Fayette, Howard, Chicka-
saw, Bremen, Mitchell, Floyd, Butler,
Cerro GorGo, Franklin Hardin Han
cock, Wright, Hamilton, Kossuth, Hum
boldt and Webster.

Privacy DesirabiIity When Construct.
ing Piazzas, Balconies or Loggias.
Unfortunately up to the present time
few Americans realize the meaning
and dcsirability Of privacy. Even in
the country many houses are built near
the road, without any attempt to
screen private residences from the pub
lie gaze, and in the city, where porches
are so rare a luxury, they are generally
built around the main entrance of a
house, where there is a constant com
ing and going and where Il cOzy re-
treat, hidden from every passerby, is
almost an impossbility.
However, many houses have posi-
bilities. For instance, roofs over pan
tries and additions or projecting extern
y siOns that are created rs a result of
architectural design could be made
into charming little balconies without
much trouble or expense.
A roof can be converted into very
satisfactory porch floor by covering.

sheltered from the dust and hustle Of

Indeed, q balcony, loggia or veranda

wealthy, for it can easily be brought
within the scope of limited incomes

IMPRISONED IN ROOM
FOR twelve YEARS
Young Woman Loses Voice and
Becomes Living Skeleton.

ASTON, MD. So long iso-
lated from mankind that she has lost
the power of speech, Miss Grace Mar
shall, twentNeight years old, is to be
taught all over again how to talk.
Physically wreck and mentally un-
balanced, the young woman has just
been rescued after twelve years i'm
prisonment in the home of her father,
Frank Marshall, farmer near ST..
Michaels. During several years of that
time, if not all, she was confined to a
small, unventilated, unlighted and I'M
heated room.
In spite of the fact that she had
been reduced by Imprisonment to
living skeleton of f1fty-seven pounds;
that she has forgotten how to talk,
and almost how to tbiuk, Dr. Davidson
said he believed she would live, and
that her mind would vespond to hui
main treatment. Her father and
mother say they imprisoned her be-
cause she was insane.

Famous Temple ard Statue.

Since about the year 752 the grand
ceremony of Kaigen, or opening the
spiritual eye of the statue" has been
celebrated but five times at the temple
commonly known as the Daibutsu of
Nara, at Tokyo. The original statue
has suffered grievously since 752.
Once, in $50, the head dropped off,
Since then it has suffered twice from
fire. and upon each occasion the head
was destroyed. The statue in its sit
ting posture measures ffty-three and a
half feet, the length of the face being
sixteen feet. The two BodhiSattvas
thanking the Daibutsu are as high as
thirty feet. The temple is 1SS feet in
frontage and 166 feet in depth and is
known as the largest wooden building
in Japan, though it is much smaller
than the original, built LOO years ago.
1t was not built to protect the statue
from being exposed to the weather,
but the statue was made to enshrine
as the chief figure of the temple.

Bulls and Bears.

The Stock Exchange use Of the term
bear is with reference to the animals
pulling down. The bear pulls down
prices; so in the other direction the bull
losses them up Originally the express
sion was "a bearsl1in jobber." applied
to person who sold bearskin before
he had caught his bear. The bearskin
jObber was q person who sold stocks
which he did not own. Of course he
was interested by the fact of his sale
to have prices come down and schemed
to pull them down. In that way he be-
came called simply bear without ref
erence to the original proverb.-Phila-
