Gentleman:-By decision ofthis office,
dated Sept. 90. 1883 in the case.o Benja-
min V. Clark VS.. Northern Pacific Rail
road company, It was held that that pant
of territory ceded by the Crow Indians
(by agreement June u, 1880, ratified by
the act of congress approved April IL,
1892 which lies opposite that portion of
the line of definite location of saidroad,
map of which was filed June %. 1881,
was excepted from the grant to said
company by reason Of its reservation for
Indian purposes at the date of filing of
map of definite location.
By decision of Sept. II, 1884, the then
Secretary of the Interior (Mr. Teller
affirmed said decision and also held that
the lands were double minimum in price.
You were, accordingly, by letter Of Oct.
l, 1884, instructed as to the disposition
and price of said lands.
The railroad company, having applied
for suspension Of said decision, pending
an application for review, the application
was granted by the Hon. Secretary, and,
pursuant to his instructions, you were by
telegram of Oct End and letter of Oct. 4,
1884, direct to suspend action under said
instructions of Oct l, 1884, except as in
the case of Clark.
These proceedings, ii will be observed,
took place in September and October,
1884, since which time no notice of re-
hearing or change 0! decision has been
received.
No action having been taken during
the administration of Mr.. Teller the de-
cision must be regarded as final, and that
no further cause for suspension exists.
You are, therefore, directed to carry

The Universality OF Inventions.

We do not often stop to think how
little man has or enjoys that is not the
fruit of invention. Things which man
has long had we cease to think of as in
vcntions, and we ere apt to apply that
term only to modern things-to things
the origin of which we know. Get it
will be hard for any of us to name any
thing which we use or enjoy which Is
not an invention, or tho subject of an
invention, in its adaptation to. our use.
The air we breathe and the water We
drink are provided by Nature. But we
drink but very little water except from
a cup or vessel of some kind, which is
human invention. Even if we drink
from the shell Of a gourd, We are using
n thing which, in the shape We use it, is
n human contrivancc, and the contriv-
ances which man has devised for obtain
ing water and distributing it have been
among the most wonderful and ingeni-
GUS of any which have occupied the hui
man mind. Bountifully as Nature has
provided water and placed it within the
reach of man, yet We do in fact get or
use but little Of it except by the aid Of
inventions.
The ai- surrounds us ut all times
and we cannot help using it II we
would; but, II we want it either hotter or
colder than we find 1t, we must resort to
some invention TO crafty our want II
we want it to blow upon us when it is
still, we must set it in motion by some
contrivance, and fans among other
things have been invented for that pur-
pose. A large amount OF human in
genuity has been expended upon devices
for moving air when we want it moved,
upon fans, blowers, and ventilators.
How small part Of our food do we
take as animals do, in the form provided
by Nature, and how very large u share
In some form contrived by man! We
drink infusions of tea or coffee without
thinking that the compounds are human
inventions. How large place tho milk
of the COW has in the food of man, but
how little of it could we have but for
multitude Of contrivances! We think
Of butter as we do of milk, that 1t Is a
production Of Nature; and so 1t is, but
Its separation from milk Is an invention
which has been followed by host of in
yentions to effect the separation easier
or better
Sugar is q production of Nature, but
little known few hundred years ago.
Separated form the plants in which 1t Is
formed, 1t is an invention OF man. The

of wheat between two stones, and separ-
ated the mealy interior from the outer
skin, invented -four, and the human

MclviIIc's Ambition.

"Its terrible thing TO bc cold" said
Chief Engineer Melville, of the United
States navy, ut tho rooms of tho United
Service club, "but it is moro terrible TO
suffer the pangs OF hunger, to crawl on
hands and knees on the ice, as l have
done, that my comrades might be saved.
1t was not for myself. but for my coun-
try and my fcllow-man."
Engineer Melville, who looked the
picture Of rosy health, was surrounded
by distinguished officers and cx-oiliccrs
OF tho army and navy rs he read his in
tercstinS paper on Arctic exploration.
Among them were Gen. Joshua Il. Owen,
Capt Richard c. Collum, Pay Director
Russell, and Col. Nicholson. In his
opening remarks Mr.. Melville said:
"Whcn | returned from Siberia l
promised myself and the whole world
that would never lecture on the trials
and suflcrings of Arctic explorations
that would never coin money out of
the blood and bones of my dead COM
panions." Continuing he said: For
more than 800 years some of the
best blood and brains of tho world have
been devoted to solving the problem OF
the far north. 1t was for grand and
noble purpose the benefit of man, that
we may have knowledge, which is
wealth, power and happiness"
Mr.. Melville spoke of the peculiar ab-
scnce of scurvy in the later American
expeditions, particularly those Of tho
Polaris. Jeanette, and Grcely party,
while Sir George Mares exploring party
were terribly afflicted. He thought It
was a mattor of food. clothing and we'll

qucntly been asked how ho hoped to es-
cape the fate of those who had gone be-
fore him if lie attempted to reach tho
pole. His answer was that the bitter
school Of experience led him to believe
that the pole could be reached safely,
and that the proper route was by Franz
Joseph Land tho southern end OF which
was accessible every year.
Mr. Melville then described the Arctic
outfits necessary for explorers, and the
mistakes made in making them too
heavy. lie said: IL have slept comfort
ably on top OF sled in Il slccping-bag
with the Thermometer 100 degrees below
tho freezin z point Of water"
The Arctic sleeping bags, he explain
ed were worn with the hair inside, thus
reversing nature. 1t WAS the only fur
clothing worn that way. He thought
the very idea of unlimited appropriations
by congress caused an Arctic expedition
to be- loaded down with the worthless
rubbagc of every crank in the land. His
slecping-bag weighed eleven pounds.
Tho Grccly expeditions bags weighed
twenty-five pounds-"elegant things to
sleep in, but death to those who attempt
eli TO carry them" In conclusion the
chief engineer said that with his know
ledge, born OF experience, he expected
Mt some future day to conduct q party in
a grand. philosophical citizen of vast
means who would aid him in solving
tho problem Of commercial pole. Ink

VIII You Do 1t?

Tho nursery is over-crowdel. There
are three little ones in it, of two. six and
eight years OF age, beside Jane, the
nurse girl, who sleeps in tho bed with
the six year old, and yet you go to your
room, oh, mother, night aftor night
from your party, or lecture, or receiving
at home, too tired or careless to think
of anything but your own personal fa-
tiguc. When the baby frets and grows
white and hollow-eyed, you wonder why
1t is that your children disappoint you
so as they grow up. He was Il healthy,
chubby little fellow, but he is becoming
spndling like the rest, and losing all
his good looks, and Clara. tho six year
old, is listlcss and acts moro like an old
woman than anything else, while Ethel
is cros, and quarrclsomo to that degree
you are mover sure of her, and have got
ten over the-habit of calling her down
to tho rcception-room to see visitors.
There is precious little comfort to be had
out OF all OF them, you cry.
Now let us whisper q hint. Take
Ethel out of the nursery, and put her
into that room at the end of the hall,
and opening into yours.
"Why that is my dressing ROOM" you
say.
Wc know 1t. but we arc going to have
1t for her. Very well. so far, so good
Now comes the greatest difficulty, what
to do with Clara. There is no other
small room for her connected with the
family rooms, and she is too little to be
shut off by herself All! we have it; you
may take back your dressing-room. The
large square room across the hall, tho
ono with three windows, is just the
thing. Now put two small beds in it,
and give it to tho two little sisters for
their very own.
'But that is Toms room; he is dcvo-
ted to that place, and would never give
1t up in the world. 1t is his para
disc"
He will soon have another that he
will like much better, for you know you
never allowed him to invite the boys
into this room, or to do certain things

over your accumulation of uscd-up,
broken. or unfashionablc household ar
ticlcs that are allowed to be stored there.
YOU will easily see that just one-third Of
them is all you will care to retain. These
can be packed up snugly in that smaller
room just back. The next step is to
prepare the now empty room, using all
the taste you have, for boys oocupan-
cy, and invite him up into it. Our word
for it, the first thing he will say will be

The Woman who Translated New
toms "Principia."

Other women. whose names are less
known. wrote on astronomy during tho
seventeenth century. Wcmny cite Maria
Cunitz, daughter OF u Siesian doctor,
who published astronomical tables in
1850; Jeanne Dune, who in 1850 wrote
book defending the Copcrnican sys-
tenn against scientific" attacks upon
it. OF moro modern date was Madame
Gabrielle Emile dc Brcteuil. Marquise
du Chatclct, who was for fifteen years
the constant friend Of Voltaire, and in
her retreat at Grey devoted her whole
life to tho sciences Sho it was who first
made known to Franco, then devoted to
scientific Cartcsianism and tho doctrine
Of elementary vortccs, the mastery
work of Newton. This was tito to
glory which might have made the fort
une of more than one scientific man,
and 1t fell upon woman. Mademoi-
sello de Breteuil had received very
careful education, but her natural taste
for study and serious occupations did
not prevent her from shining brilliant
ly in the society of the courts of the Re
gcncy for some years after her marriage
with M. du Chatolot. Ono Of the best
evidences of her genius that we have is
in tho bearing toward her of Voltaire,
who had no respect for any mental gifts.
He had returned from Great Britain
full Of enthusiasm for English science
and philosophy, and occupied with the
dream OF making Newton known to his
comtrymen and dethroning Descartes
at the Academy. 1t may appear singu-
lar that he selected Madame du Chatc-
let for his work; but tho choice was not
extraordinary after all. She had al
ready made some progress In mathc-
matical studies under the direction of
Maupertius and Clairaut, and Voltaire
was looking for the assistance ho needed
to some one outside of the official scien-
.tfic circle. The translation of Nowton's
"Principia" would be tho best means of
making known in France the English
geometrioian and the admirable simpli-
city which this theory Of attraction lent
to the study of the movements Of stars.
This work Madame du Chatelet did
we'll, But she did more than make q
simple translation. The algebraic COM
mentary which follows the translation

although 1t was composed under the
direction of Clairaut and revised by
him. "We have witnessed two prodi-
gies," said Voltairc in his historical in
PRODUCTION to the "Principia"
that Newton should have composed this
work, and the other that woman
should have translated and elucidated
it."--Fronl "Women iR AStTonony,"
