Going Ahead on Irrigation.

Mr.. Corking, of Woonksorkct. and Judge
G. NJ. Howe, OF M"llctte, now in the city,
state that the arteSian we'll business in
their localities is booming. Near Woon-
socket, where they struck tremendous
flow year or so ago, are several wells
now. The farmers are putting down
thrcc-inch wells and the flow is usually
reached at a little over 100 feet A three
inch well with the volume these wells
possess, work increasingly day aud night
and in the course OF Il years time wet
down Il vast tract OF land.
In the vicinity of McIcttc are some
powerful spoutcrs and several more going
down. The judge says they arc just
learning how to sink these wells properly
and many of them will be tapped all over
the big county of Spink this year.
On Mr.. Days farm. near Mellctte. forty
acres has been set aside for the purpose
OF experimental farming by irrigation-to
be conducted under the auspices of the
South Dakota Agricultural college.
Thus is there gradually being developed
a perpetual guarantee against drouth in
this state which no farm country east OF
the Mississippi and few western localities
can boast Of and will give value to lands
that now can be had for a song

TOO MUCH CIVILIZATION.
Humiliation of an African King who Got
Advance Ideas in Paris.

Dinah Salifu, the Nalu king, VIII o
was lion of the last Paris exposition,
has been logged and deposed. The
cause of his fall was the "big head"
contracted by him during his visit in
Europe. He appeared in Paris in o
place of honor at all the public recep-
tons, and hObnobbed with the Shah
of Persia who found in him the only
real sovereign at the French capitol
worthy OF Persian monarch's friend
ship.
Dinah eventually returned to HIS
African subjects with the sun and lion
orders of Persia and the cross OF the
legion of honor He at once proceed
ed to show his European improvements
with the declared intention of letting
his people see what civilized king
should be. He beheaded his brother,
whom he suspected without cause Of a
plan to depose him.
He announced that in Paris he had
learned that every ruler must have q
civil list and forthwith began to
plumber his people right and left I'M
der the pretense OF establishing it. He
forced all his male subjects to wear
themselves out in sham battle and
African military drill, and finally set
out to use up his neighbors. He cap
tured slaves, cattle, and miscellaneous
property from neighboring chieftains.
and was on the point OF starting out
on an all-around catch-as- catch
raid, when the French authorities took
charge OF him.
After administering severe beating
they told him that he was deposed, and
sent him off to st. Louis. He was in q
pitiable state OF mind until he was in
formed that the French government
would allow him an annual pension OF
81, 200.

History OF the Tomato.

The tomato has curious history.
After the revolution of st. Domingo
many French families came from there
to Philadelphia, where they introduced
their favorite 'pomme d'amour." AL
though introduced from South America
as early as 1896 into England it was
looked upon with suspicion, and it's
specific name, lycopersicum, derived
from lykos (wolD and persicon "a
peach), referring to the beautiful but
defective appearance of its fruit in
Inmates pretty closely the kind of esti-
nation in which it was held. 1t Is
now. however, all but universally used
even in England.

CHEMISTRY OF THE SUN.
Various Elements, Familiar In the Earth,
Thought to BE Absent.

Thought to Bo Absent.
In connection with the photography
Of the solar spectrum considerable ad-
vances have been made in the recog-
milton of the chemical elements present
in the sun. Copper, silver and vana-
dunn have been transferred from the
list of the doubtful metals there to the
certain; and very recently Rowland
has found clear evidence of the pres
ence OF silicon, the apparent absence
of which has been long a standing
| puzzle.
The evidence in favor of the presence
OF carbon also seems TO gain strength,
and the same is true in tho cases of
aluminium. cadmium and zinc. The
fact that the lines which reveal the
presence of silicon are almost entirely
in the ultra violet, invisible portion of
the spectrum, warrants the expectation
that photography may soon find there
evidence OF some of the other still
missing elements, such as boron,
phosphorus and sulphur.
But no new light yet appears in
reference to the mysterious absence
| from the sun of oxygen, nitrogen and
chlorine, which play so important a
part in the chemistry of the earth;
except indeed, that the results OBJ
tanned by Jansen last summer on the
summit OF Mont Blanc are conclusive
that the great "B" line of oxygen,
which is so conspicuous in the solar
spectrum when the sun is near the
horizon, is entirely of earthly origin,
and not in the least solar. writes Pro-
fessor Young, OF Princeton, to the
Youths Companion.
The veteran astronomer, still enthu-
siastic and full of pluck, though unable
TO endure any severe physical exertion,
had himself carried by small army of
guides and porters to the very summit
OF the mountain. and there obtained
decisive observations.
As regards the phostosphere'-the
luminous surface OF the sun-and sun
spots, there is little new to note.
Jansen, at Meudon, has made real
improvements in the processes of pho
tographing the spots and the details OF
the solar surface, and recent observa-
tions OF the displacement of the lines
OF the spectrum at the eastern and
western edges of the sun, made by
Duner. OF Upsala, have confirmed the
laws Of the suns swifter rotation at the
equator-a law which. though first
discovered more than thirty years ago,
has recently been called in question.
1t still remains as much OF mystic
ry as ever how the great cavities which
we see as spots come to be formed in
the suns surface, why they are so linn
tied to TIE two zones on each side OF
he suns equator, and why they show
such a regular increase and decrease
in numbers every eleven years.
