To determine this time, take a watch and
hold it horizontally with the figure XII Oh
the dial pointing toward the north. Then
Il project an imaginary line from the center
of the dial toward the object to be photo
graphed The figure on the dial which this
line intersects indicates the hour at which
the sun will shine most directly upon il.
Thus i'll the illustration, the proper time for
photographing the view shown would be
about II O'Clock. This method assumes a
knowledge of the points of the compass, but
these are easily found; or, if one is in
strange locality. small pocket compass
can be carried.
IL will be noticed that this method is in
dependent of the hands of the watch itself,
so if the amateur photographer does not
possess one of those useful articles, a SIM
pie dial drawn on a piece of cardboard will
answer every purpose. OF course there are
often views or objects which can best be
photographed in a side light. and to these
the method described above will not apply.
The accompanying illustrations from La
Nature were recently described and COM
mented upon in Popular Science News,
from which the foregoing was reproduced.

The pedal clarionet.' as it is not very
happily called. stands an octave below the
bass ciarioncr, and in one of its two varie
ties produces the lowest note yet attained
by any instrument, with the one exception
of the organ. Its tone is wonderfully dis
tinct, even IN the deepest notes, and it is
far more agreeable than that of the double
bassoon, with which il is most closely allied
in compass. I, has of three octaves.
Its qualities were admirably exhibited by

The TRIBUNE doffs it's hat to Miss
Ruth Kimball, the Washington CORES
pondent of the St. Paul Globe. Because
of her sex some surly doorkeeper tried
to keep her from a seat in the press
gallery of the house the other day. But
Miss Kimball bad the true Dakota grit
and was soon armed with an order from
Speaker Crisp for the place and
triumphantly took her position. Miss
Kimball is an old time resident of Fargo
and has many friends all over Dakota
who will be glad to know she is succeed
ing with her chosen professionalism
nalism. In this connection, according to
the Sanborn Enterprise, we might add
that Miss Madeline Wallin, daughter of
Justice Wallin, of the supreme court,
who graduates from the state university
of Minnesota this year, has made up her
mind to follow newspaper work for a
time,

ACCORDING to the New York Press the
latest important project of the Worlds
Fair board of lady managers Is the build
ing of a mammoth hotel for the accom-
mediation of the great numbers of self
supporting women who will visit the ex-
position. The scheme of the hotel origi-
mated in the brain of a woman, Mrs. NJ.
B. Carse, and the site for the structure
has been presented by Mr.. George M.
Pullman. The building will be two
stories high, and will cover an entire
city square, being built around a central
court in Spanish fashion. 1t will be built
by an incorporated stock company,
governed by the board of lady managers
of the fair, and will be capable of accom-
modating 5000 persons. A. room, bed,
light ETC., can be obtained for 30 cents a
day, and a light breakfast will be sup
piled at small expense. The shares will
be sold at SIS each, and each certificate
of stock will entitle the person present
ing it to it's face value in the house. If
at any time rooms be vacant, and ap.
plication be made for them by other
than stockholders, they will be allotted
10 working women at the same rate; but
it is anticipated that the stock will all be
taken, so that shareholders and persons
designated by them will be received.

As THE time for the worlds fair ap-
p%roaches, and as it seems the opinion of
most. North Dakotans that the state
should be we'll represented, the question
arises: Why not have a taxidermic .ex-
hibit there? It is as we'll known to those
living in North Dakota as it is unknown
to those without the state that in this
state abounds game of all kinds. Deer,
antelope, elk, grouse; quail, ducks, geese
and animals of all descriptions are to be
found here. Now why not gather
mounted specimens and have such an
exhibit?
The advantage to follow such an
undertaking can readily be seen. It will
advertise the state itself, and bring into
the state sportsmen, and with them,
money. Money brought into the state
means more extensive business transac-
tions and a more fourishing condition Of
affairs in general. There is the talent

A PROMINENT physician in New York
is responsible for the statement that the
so.cal!ed "bi-chlorlde of gold9 cure con-
tains no such drug. bnt is composed prin-
cipally OF nitrate Of strychnia, atropine and
other alkaloids. II this statement should
prove true, DR.. Kelley will receive severe
and just censure. AtrOpine in excess will
inevitably produce insanity, while the
s%trychnia habit is worse even than the
craving for liQuor.-Boston Advertiser.
The medical gentleman is respectfully
informed that too much drunkenness is
composed of serpents, James Jams and
other essences of liquid damnatlon too
numerous to mention. Now, if it is true
that poisons counteract one another, it
Is doubtful whether DR.. Kelley has
added enough %atropine and strychnine
to his wild and mysterious compound.
At any rate, it is better to save one out
of a dozen confirmed drunkards, even if
the others are injured by the bi-chloride,
for the end of .one so far gone as to need
medical assistance in fighting the habit,
is inevitable, anyway.

The TRIBUNE hopes Chairman
Spaulding will have the official call for
the coming republican state convention
issued shortly. just on what basis the
apportionment is made seems to be con-
jectural. Some papers put it at the ten
names first on the list last year, added
together and divided by ten. Taking
this average vote as a basis the appor-
tionment to be one for every seventy
five votes or major fraction and one at
large. Secretary Hager of the committee
says this is error; that the delegates
will be figured on seventy. five, votes cast
for Congressman johnson. That the
reason Cass county gets thirty delegates,
to quote the secretary from his own
paper, was mot because that county
was entitled to them, but because the
majority of the state committee desired
to increase that ~county's representation"

The TRIBUNE is in receipt Of a copy Of
the first report made by the United
States board on geographic names This
board was constituted under an execu-
tive order of September 4, 1890. OF the
duties of this board, the following ex-
tract from the report will be explanatory:
The necessity of this board has already
been amply demonstrated. During this, its
first year, there have been submitted to 1t
more than 1000 questions and decisions
have been rendered in nearly all of these
cases. Shortly after it was organized it
was called upon to render decisions con-
corning several hundred names in Alaska,
where the utmost confusion exists regard
ing geographic names. In this region the
difficulties of consideration OF Russian
and Indian names into English characters
are complicated by the fact that expedition
after expedition visiting this region has as
signed different sets of names to its geo.
graphic features. The difficulties encoun-
tered in settling the questions submitted
relative to Alaskan names made it appar-
ent that nothing short of a complete revi-
sion of the geographic nomenclature of
Alaska would be satisfactory. Accordingly
the board. having decided the cases sub
mitted to it, is now engaged in making
such a revision, the result OF which will be
to furnish a geographic dictionary Of the
territory. The lighthouse board and the
coast survey have submitted to this board
all cases occurring in the light lists con.
corning which there is a difference in
usage or opportunity for improvement.
These questions have been discussed and
decided, and the decisions go far toward
settling the nomenclature OF the coast and
lake shores. The census office has SUBJ
mitted to the board all cases of difference
OF usage in county and township names,
and the names of corporate towns, cities,
fully 1000, nave been decided after suit
able investigation. AS a part of this work
the board has, after examination and the
decision of all disputed cases, approved a
certain form of spelling of the names of
the counties OF the United States.

. REPRESENTATIVE ScoTT, OF Illinois,
has introduced d bill in congress pro-
viding that the interstate commerce law
be 8 amended as to include sleeping car
companies. This 10 indeed a step in the
right direction. Atythe present time the
business Of the sleeping cars is practic-
ally controlled by two organizations and
they charge such rates as they see fit
and know no law but themselves. II is
possible they pay taxes at their home
office, it is certain they do no other
place. The state Of North Dakota has
tried to license them, but the law is q
dead letter, and the companies refuse to
pay any taxes, and the chances are the
courts would sustain their position.

OF the calling of the extra session the
Fargo Argus says: Governor Burke
has grandly met the responsibility
thrust upon him. In obedience to the
necessity of the hour and the sentiment
of the state, he has called an extra ses-
sion of the North Dakota Legislature to
meet at the state capital on Wednesday,
the first day Of June. The reasons for
such special session have been thorough.
ly discussed by the press of the state,
and are familiar to all. That the govern
or's action will be generally endorsed
seems certain.

IT is too we'll realized to be disputed
that the wheat acreage in North Dakota,
this year, will be small. The unprece-
IDENTIFY wet weather, together with a lack
of sunshine, has prevented many farm
ers from seeding. OF course, it would
be unnatural to expect such a yield each
year as was had in 1891. Two-thirds, or
even one-half the yield of last year would
be fair crop, and with a fair crop, farm
ers have no for complaint. If but
one-half last years acreage is seeded,
and the circumstances are favorable,
North Dakota will have a good crop this
year. And North Dakota, far from be-
ing the only state to suffer from an ex-
ceedingly great amount of moisture, is
one of the favored states. The st. Paul
Globe, in discussing crop prospects
throughout the country, says:
Even if the atmosphere elements should
now let up for a time in their e%xtravagant
efforts to soak the earth and avert any pre-
mature growth of crops, there must be a
very considerable effect upon the aggre-
gate production of breadstuffs. The unfa-
vorable weather has extended to all the
principal grain. producing districts of the
world. The opinion is expressed, and
seems warranted, that the wheat and corn
production of the United States this year
will not exceed one-half that of 1891. That
may be a low estimate for this state, and
those Immediately west, but the Des
M0ineS Register, with its eyes specially on
the fields of Iowa, says the prospect for
crops is the poorest for a third OF a cen
fury. Forebodings in the midst OF storms
and mud are likely to be largely dissipated
when the sun gets in full work. But it is GER
tain that the acreage OF wheat and corn
will be cut down by a large per cent. This
is especially the fact in the districts OF the
northwest that had the largest crops last
year. The latest official reports put the
prospects below the average of q good
crop in all the states. The portion of the
last crop on hand is not large. except in
limited regions. The corn cribs are about
empty. Those who have held their crop
for better prices and seen them going
lower and lower may yet have. the laugh
on their side. The great markets have
been low because the products have been
pushed forward in excess of daily de-
mands. 1t seems now inevitable that
prices shall advance sharply in the next
few months. But there were those who
thought that way last year. They knew
it was policy to hold the wheat. Those
who have wheat or corn still on hand will
not, however, be in any haste to part with
it. They will act upon their own conclu.

in the middle states OF III per cent; in the
middle western Of 1913 per cent; and in
other western of 81 per cent; whilst in
New England there is a decrease of S.5
per cent; in the south of O.5 per cent; and
il int the Pa Pacific Of 81 per cent; Considering a g
downward, it is reasonable to conclude
that the gain in the quantity of products
and properties transferred is not fully re-
fiected by these increases in bank clear
iDgs; which seems to warrant the inference
that the volume of trade is larger than IS
generally supposed and explains the i'm
provement in the earnings of the railroads.
Each succeeding week shows recovery
in our relations with the London market.
The two marts, however, are waiting upon
each other, each watching for the other to
make a forward movement and each afraid
lest the n should seize the opportunity
of any rise in prices to unload upon the
other. Under these circumstances, Lon
don is especially feeling its way, and yet
appears to be gaining confidence that New
York will keep pace with it in any advance
movement. At the same time, the tone of
the London market shows a recovery in
its intrinsic condition and a sound,
though slow, progress towards con-
valescence. This week, London has been
much more a buyer than a seller on our
market. The demand, however, has I'll
rather on bonds than On stocks, and has
shown a preference for second class low
priced mortgages. This demand has
helped to weaken the rate for sterling
bills, with the effect of stopping, for the
present at least, the outflow of gold.
The improving tendency at The European
financial canterS is encouraged by Symp-
toms which suggest a hope that more IN
icable relations may be established be-
tween the nations whose mutual jealOusies
keep them virtually upon u constant war
footing. The interest shown by the British
government in the silver question and her
expressed intention to participate in the

of something being accomplished through
that means for mending, if not restoring,
the lost status OF silver as compared with
gold. This uniform drift in trans. atlantic
finances towards healthier conditions can
not fail to exercise a beneficial influence
on investments in this country. Though
slow and un%conspicuous, the improve
ment must be broad and fundamental in
its later effects.

Fargo Argus: A special dispatch from
Aberdeen, S. D., to the Sioux City Jour-
nal of Saturday says that the Red River
valley is covered with water, and, with
the most favorable weather, it would be
at least ten days before the farmers
could commence putting in their crops.
If the correspondent could see the way
the seed has been flying into the ground,
during the past week he would apologize.
Before his ten days are up seeding will
have been almost entirely finished.
Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Superin-
tendent Garfield, Of the Indian indus

He has one class containing a dozen pu-

the common English branches as any
class of similar size in. the state.
The band which was organized
by Prof. Hastings this spring, is an es-
pecial source of pride to Mr.. Garfield.
The Indian boys seem to take naturally
to music and have already become OK
