MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Deep Oullbs That Enast ths Reis ef
Organ Pipes.
Rather uncanny It would be to walk
unsuspectingly along some quiet val­
ley path and suddenly bear, from some
mountain or cliff overhead, weird,
strange sounds that resemble both the
tone of a 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 la blowing from
certain directions.
The natives, of
course, are terribly superstitious r e
gardlug them. They imagine they pos-
superhuman powers and that they
are listening to the voles» of the gods
when they bear them.
The scientific explanation of the phe­
nomenon la simple enough. I f It la a
cliff from which noises emerge the
face can be seen to be crossed with
deep gullies. These might be com­
pared. in the purpose they serve, te
the pipes of an organ. On certain oc­
casions a layer o f air seems to get
caught between the cliff and the trees
which border It, closing up the opening
so that when the wind blows into the
gullies music comes forth. Bo pro­
nounced and continued are the sounds
In some of tbe parts that two of the
cliffs have been named “snorers.” It

Rear-End Crasu of Electric

a ^ u S Angeles.— Fourteen dead and
150 injured la the toll estimated ef e
rear-end collision of two P a y tic Elec­
tric railway trains filled with Sunday
pleasure seekers returning from the
sea shore at Venice.
The accident occurred at Vineyard
station in the westerly Qlty limits of
Los Angeles. Twq throe-par trains,
^holr seats and aisles packed with the
usual Sunday merry making crowd,
had been stalled at Vineyard station
by the breaking of a trolley wire. One
of the crew of tbe second train was
sent back to flag the following trains
The next train, however, swept by the
signal at high «peed, and In the dark
! ne8S crashed Into the standing trains
Responsibility for the wreck lies,
according to the officials of tbe road,
between Conductor Albert Bartholo-
mai and Motorman Joseph Forrester.
The conductor Insists that he waved
a red lantern In the path of Forres­
te r’s train In ample time for the mo-
torman to atop.
Forrester, who was found In his
home only slightly Injured, declared
that he did not see the lantern until
within 6u0 feet of the standing train,
and the distance was too short and
his brakes failed to stop the train.
Officials of tbe road Insisted that the
distance was not too short.
