A Slight Correction.

The following table is taken from
the book entitled "Millionaires or
Slaves, Which?":
The total number of acres of land in
the United States is 823, 1865 1897.
The land unavailable for productive
purposes
Alaska, 800, 52S, 800 acres.
Indian and military reserve, 1877
100000 acres.
Mountainous and untillable, 4OO,-
100000 acres.
The remaining portion of the land
is divided as follows:
Owned by private individuals, 3OO,-
100000 acres.
Owned by the states, 6OO,OOO,OOO
acres.
School lands, 100000 acres.
Swamp lands, 100000.
Military and naval bounty, 81, OOO,-
900 acres.
Canals, wagon roads, etc, 5000, 900.
Railways, liz, 100000 acres.
Private and state claims, IS, 100000
acres.
The above needs one important
correction, as it is passing through
the reform papers. The land now
owned by railways amounts to more
than 225,OOO,OOO. The Northern
Pacific received a land grant OF 49,
100000 acres by the republican con-
gress, last September.
There has been another exhibition
of republican bossism, party collar
ism, and greed, brought forth in Da-
kota, through the spirit of reform
exhibited by 81. L. Loucks, editor of
the Dakota Ruralist. 1t happens in
this wise. A Mrs. Chambers. widow
who lost her husband in the great
blizzard of 1888, a hard working
woman, keeping boarders for a liv-
ing, wished to prove up on her home
stead. She went to the Ruralist Office
to ascertain what the charge would
be for final proof notice, Mr.. Loucks,
knowing the state of affairs, told her
he would do it for nothing. She went
to the land Office requesting that it
be handed into the Ruralist office for
publication. But they absolutely re-
fused so to do, and insisted that it
be given to a Republican paper-and
she was obliged to take it to the
"Huronite.' At the recent conven-
tion in Huron, independently they
took up a penny collection, of six
dollars and paid for the final notice,
for Mrs. Chambers-in the Republi-
can paper.

Not as Mysterious KeeIy's, but Almost
Wonderful.
A new engine has been Invented that goes
without steam. 1t has no boiler and no
piston, but it is hummer, says The Safety
Valve. To speak more strictly "by the
card" it is new method of obtaining mo-
tive power by peculiar combination of
soda, glycerine and petroleum that has
been patented. 1t is heat engine of type
ent rely unprecedented, ana in its abstract
theory is bound to be a success, that Is,
without putting it to practical test, so as
to see if the wheels go around" The two
main features of the invention recommend
themselves at once.
The claim of the inventor is that he can
obtain from twenty pounds of petroleum
the work of 30-horse-pUwer engine for ten
hours. also that he can run a Street-car, like
the ordinary electric, with thirty pounds of
petroleum day.
III an interview the other day the inventor
said: "ln the electric car the motor gives
out upon the car % per cent of the power
delivered to the shafting of the dynamo, and
the steam engine delivers to the shaftng of
the dynamo only or per cent of the energy
given out by the combustion OF the coal
Of course, II these claims are correct, the
new motor can and Will replace the steam
engine for all purposes. Ocean travel " i'll

pied by coal bunkers can be largely re-
placed by active machinery. Electric trans
mission of power viii become minor con-
sideration when the primary engine itself
would be lighter in weight than the electric
motor. Railroad locomotives will have to
carry freight TO get weight enough to hold
them to the rails and make the wheels bite

ism is George John Altman, who was born
IN Swansea twenty nine years ago and has
lived there ever since,

Paris Said to Be the Best Illuminated
City in the World.
Paris Is now on the eve OF revolution In
her lighting system. Gas lighting was first
introduced in England, but Paris followed
in time and with splendor unequaled else
where, says DR.. Albert Shaw in an article
On Paris" written for the Century Tor
July. In like manner America, Germany,
and some other countries have been earlier
in the use of electric lighting; but the Par
isians. with their superior taste and skill in
all matters of municipal arrangements and
appointments, are destined to make by far
the most brilliant use of the new iilum-
nant Within one year, or within two
years at the fartbest, it is confidently
claimed that Paris viii be incompar-
ably the best lighted city in the
world and that electricity will have
superseded gas in public use la 1878. at
the time of the Universal Exposition, the
municipal government ordered the expert
mental illumination of the Avenue de
pOpera and several open spaces with cleo
tricity, but the new system was not ripe for
large use and the experiment was soon aban-
doned. Its principal effect was the stimulus
1t gave to the gas company, which invented
and put into use certain large compound
burners using 400 liters per hour, and CIV
ing most brilliant light. The great cleo
trical improvements of the past decade
were exhibited in the French Exposition of
1889, and were studied with the utmost care
by the Partisan authorities and municipal
engineers. Undoubtedly the displays at
the exposition had the most pronounced eff
feet in stimulating the new zeal Paris is
showing for the appliances OF the electric

The greatest weight of whalebone ever
taken from one whale was 400 pounds. The
whale was taken by the bark Antelope, Cap
tain George Taber, in 1864, and the bone
to yield eight to ten pounds of bone for
every barrel of oil, but there is no certainty
in this calculation. The whale taken by
Captain Taber only yielded $40 barrels, for
he was lean and sick.
The whalebone blades are taken out by
cutting through the gum around the root
with whalemen's spades. Dull ones are used
preferably, IN order not TO cut or scratch the
face of the plate. The gum is white, though
tough, and cut like curd. BY cutting down
from six to eight inches the plate can be
torn from the gristle, or vacular formation,
which holds it. entering the end of the
plate as thin strip for few inchss.-Bos-
