Aria Lands

It is understood in Washington that the policy regarding arid public lands projected by the Senate Irrigation Con- mittee will embrace among other things the transfer of reservoir sites to the sew eral States in trust for irrigation pur- poses. The Chronicle has more than once pointed out the objectionable fea- lures of this plan, ard now suggests, Us it has done heretofore, that the only reasonable and feasible plan for the re- eiamation of the arid public lands is by the United States itself at the general expense of the people. The Senate Committees plan seems to con- template the transfer of the weather service bureau, the forestry bureau and certain other bureaus to the Depart ment of Agriculture. In this respect the plan deserves commendation All these matters belong properly in the Agricultural Department, and the soon- CT the transfer is made the better.-S F. Chronicle

Reckoning Time

A correspondent of the New York Evening Telegram tells it's readers how the time is reckoned at the observatory in Washington, as followB
 The observatory does not reckon its time by the sun, but by the so-called ''fiXed" stars, which are SD far of that their position with relation to the earth does not change apprecinbly within few months or yeafs Star time is the only true time, therefore The opera tor locks through a big telescope and watches for a given star that he knows to cross the plane of the meridian. As 1t crosses he records what moment it does 50, as shown by star time clock with 2i-hour dial Then he consnlts n printed table that shows him at just what number of hours, minutes and seconds the star in question must actually have crossed the meridian plane.
 The table is right, and by as much as the star-time clock differs from it, the latter is wrong. No attempt is made to sci the star clock right, allow ance being simply made in subsequent calculations for the error thus discov- cred, whichamounts to only fraction of a second in some days Next the cor rected time, as taken from the star clock, is reduced to sun time, which requires some figuring, inasmuch as the star year is one day longer than the sun year. 4 sun time or "standardn time clock stands close by, and the amount that this varies from the truth having been ascertained, allowance is made for the error in sanliDg the neon stroke all over the country.

The Bad Lanis of Dakota are com posed of white clay, which, by the ac- ton of rains has been cut into hillocks. They are not high, seldom more than 10 cr 50 feet; but is up one and down another the whole way. Ton can rot follow the water courses, for there are none; gully, 40 feet deep, with foot and half oi mud at the bottom, is the nearest approach to a water course ill the whole region At every few yards yon must stop and, with spade and shovel, cut path down the side of a hill ID order to descend, and then up the side of the one opposite in order to get np again. Tne mud is as sticky as tar, and in going a few yards the wheels of wagon become solid round cakes and all the mules that you can hitch to it will not be able to pull it a foot further.
