For Indian Schools.

: WASHINGTON, Feb. q.
The senate took up the Indian apprOpri
alton bill. The provision for the purchase
of irrigation machinery in Arizona and
Nevada for the Use Of Indian reservations
was amended by the addition of the states
of Idaho and Montana. The appropriation
for the support of Indian schools was in.
creased from 100000 to 100000. On mo-
ton of Mr.. Dawes lin charge of the bill)
all amendments recommended by the COM
mittee on appropriations reducing the per
capita rate for the support of Indian pu
pills at various schools throughout the
country from $167 to $3.50, were disagreed
to-he explaining that the committee had
changed its views in respect to the matter,
and had authorized him to recon-
mend disagreement. The only excep.
tion was as to the Indian school at Fort
TOtten, N. D., where the former rate per
scholar was preserved. Sanders argued
against the prOpriety of making that ex-
ception. Plumb expressed the convic-
tha ton that tia an average of $50 per year for
high; and also that no permanent advan-
tage was derived flom the system OF In
dian training which now cost two millions
year. He did not believe that it had ad-
vanced the lndion one iota in the path OF
civilization. The Indians who had be1ore
been kept on reservations and had had no
schooling were far better Indians than
those who had had what was supposed to
be advantages Of education. He described
the Indian as being taken by the nape Of
the neck and "yanked' on to the plane of
civilization, where they were like seed
sown on unfertile ground, which, when
the sun came out, was parched and
withered. There was not single living
evidence, he said, of the permanent use
fulness of such a system of education.
The education of the Indian meant MOTH
ing but refined lOaferism.

A New Land Law Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The cOnferees
law and amendatory of the land laws gen.
orally have practically reached an agree
ment on an entirely new bill which will
be brought forward at the first opp0rtu.
nifty. The bill agreed upon will change
the general land system of the government.
The bill first repeals the timber culture
act. but with reservation in favor of
bona fide claims heretofore initiated. In
computing the p. riGd of cultivation ON
claims already accruing it ls provided that
the time Shall run from the date of entry,
if the necessary acts of cultivation are per.
| formed within the the proper time The
preparation of the land and the planting
| OF trees are to be construed as acts of cul.
tivatiOn. Persons who have complied
with the provisions of the timber culture
claims by the payment of $1.25 an acre.
The desert land act is amended by requir-
ing the filing of map showing the pro-
posed method of reclamation, and no per-
son shall receive patents for land under
the act unless he has expended in the
work of reclamation at least $3 per acre,
$l to be expended within each year.
After four years. title may be secured by
| the payment of 81 per acre. Section 2,288
revised statutes, is amended so that any
| bona de settler may have the right to
| transfer any portion of mis- claim for right
of way, for irrigation purposes, as
well as for church; cemetery, railroad or
is also repealed, except AS to claims here
tofore initiated and except as to pre- emp.
tiOns by counties under special law. Sec.
ton 22S9 is amended so that persons
already holding l60 acres Of land, or who
abandon their residence on their own
land, shall not have a right to make a
homestead entry. Entries may be sus
pended for correction of clerical errors
The United States is estopped from the
vacation of any patent on claims hereto
fore initiated. unless suit is brought within
five years and on future claims within six
years. 1t is provided that in Colorado
Montana, North and South Dakota
Wyoming and the gold and silver regions
OF Nevada and Utah. it shall be a sufficient
vs trespass tt to R Show p'oieet''0n That timber tel
culture was for agricultural. mining, manu-.
featuring or domestic purposes and was
not transported out OF the state; this pro.
Towns and cities, it is declared, may make
town site entries on mineral lands, but this
right shall not interfere with the working
of underground mineral claims. Provision
is made for grants Of right Of way for
| irrigation purposes; but reservoir sites are
not to contain any more land than is neces.
sary for the construction and maintenance
| The maximum amount of land which any
person may acquire is limited to 500 acres
The president is given the right to sci
apart and reserve in any territory forest
lands as public reservations, not subject
to be entered upon. This will meet the
principal aim of what is known as the
| Yellowstone Park bill.

Educated Balloons.

The Hottentots say that balloons can
'alk, only they will not, for fear they
should be made to work; and there GER
;ainly is but little work to be got out of
hose cunning hands. Nevertheless we
read of some balloons who have been
:aught to do useful work. There was an
obituary notice a year or more ago in all
he Cape papers of one of these trained
balloons, we'll known IN the colony, who
ased to act as signalman on the railway,
in place of his master who was lame.
The story was doubted by the English
papers, who copied it; but we have met
with many people who had seen the ami
nal at his work. Mrs. Casey Hobson,
too, in one of her pleasant little ''South
African Storles," tells of a baboon who

been taught to ride after a Dutch Boer
IS groom, and to dismount and hold the
horse by sitting on the bride when his
master went into the house; and we have
seen a troupe of monkeys of various
kinds taught to do a great many curious
tricks; but in these, again, they have

Rain Making Schemes.

Professor Carl Myers, of Utica, N. Y,
has been in Washington consulting with
Government officials regarding the put
ting into operation of a scheme for pro-
noting rainfalls in arid regions or dur
ing periods of prolonged drought by pro-
ducing conclusion in the upper atmos-
phere. Congress at its last session made
q special appropriation for experiments
in this direction, and Professor Myers
has been called into consultation as an
expert.
It has been observed for many years
that storms or rainfalls usually follow
conclusions of the atmosphere, as dur
ing battles, commandments, explosions
and the like. Acting upon this knowl-
edge Professor Myers proposes expert
menting with balloons, which are them
selves to be explosive bombs, being in
aated with one part of oxygen gas and
two of hydrogen, which mixture when
fred produces one of the most violent
explosions known to science. He will
begin operations with one hundred bal
looms of various sizes as OOH as they can
be prepared.
The result of these experiments vii.

It is known, of course, in a general way,
that a rainfall is the immediate result of
The condensation of a body of aqueous
vapor, very much as water is expelled
from q wet sponge by squeezing it. The
ordinary phenomenon attending this con-
i%ensatlon is a lowering of temperature,
and the problem which Professor Myers
will seek to solve is whether the same
effect may be produced by conclusion.
The fact that thunder storms are usually
accompanied by rain would seem to in.
licate that there is at least some ground
IF r%easonableness in the oncusslo
;heory.
II it be demonstrated that rain may be
produced by conclusion, the discovery

According to W. ]. j.. MCGEE, in the
Forum, everyday experience shows that
floods are not confined to greater rivers.
They affect as we'll the smaller ones and
their tributaries, down to mill streams
and even to storm runnels; and the
smaller streams are so many that the
aggregate effect of their foods IS large.
Once or oftener during each decade a cry
of distress comes from Cincinnati, for
the easements of business houses built
upon the food plain are inundated, and
the residents Of the city front are driven
from their homes by the prodigious
floods of the Ohio; once or twice in each
decade East St. Louis and the part Of St.
Louis standing on the Mississippi al
luvium are flooded; from three to five
times in each decade the trans Mississippi
traffic at Dubuque is stopped because the
food waters submerge the railway tracks
and extinguish the locomotive fires, and
nj year passes without records of dis
aster in dozens of towns and villages
built on the flood plains of smaller
streams. And the food not only works
destruction directly; it sows the germs
of malarial and enteric disorders by which
human life is shortened.

old man in Manchester. ENGLAND

An old man in Manchester, England,
goes by the name of Gagadig Gigadab.
His original name was John Smith, but
many years ago be bagan to brood over
the possibilities of q mistaken identity
involved in such q common name. At
last what he feared so much. actually
happened. One day the papers recorded
the capture of an accountant in a bank
for embezzlement, and through some
blunder of the reporter, the identity of
the embezzler was confused with the sub
ject of this paragraph, who was also a
bank accountant. Then and there he
determined to assume a name like unto
no other ever borne by mortal man. And
in Gagadig Ggadab most people will
agree that he has done so.
