PUBLIC LAND MEASURES.

Oklahoma School Sections May Be Leased
States May Profit by Indian Sales
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The commit
tee on public lands of the house has re-
ported favora bly, on the bill for leasing
those tracts in Oklahoma territory
which were reserved from public settle
ment for university. agricultural col
lege and school purposes. The rentals
of the reservations are to be applied to
the use of universities, schools etc.
The same committee reported favor
ably on the bill extending for one year
the time in which proof and payments
may be made on lands located under
the homestead and desert land law.
The committee also reported in favor
of the bill providing for a general ad-
adjustment of swamp land grants. At
the recommendation of the secretary of
the interior the committee favor the
limitation of the total sum to be paid
to the states on these claims to sl,000,-
600. If the claims exceed that amount,
they are to be paid pro rata among the
states up to 100000.
The senate committee on public
lands had agreed to consider a bill in
troduced by Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, providing that the gov
ernment shall pay to the several states
per cent. of the proceeds received
from the sale of all Indian reservations
in the several states. 1t will take about
"a, 600, 600 to pay for these lands already
sold

The Mo,t Usefu, of Minerals.

Palladium is one of the least known
but most useful of minerals, and the
uses to which it is put would make an
interesting story. 1t belongs to the
platinum group, and is found with
that mineral in the Ural mountains,
Brazil. Peru and in the Hartz mount
aims. 1t was first introduced by Il
chemist named Cox. 1t is similar in
color to platinum and is very mallea bic
because of it's fiexibility. 1t Is a great
absorber of hydrogen gas, but is prin-
cipally used in the production Of al
1oys. 1t is used in thin film to pro-
tect silver surfaces. A very close in
spection of most silver will reveal n
thin coating of it on the articles, which
protects them to a large extent from
furnishing. Mirrors have been backed
with it. 1t gives an alloy with zinc,
nickel and tin. Palladium and silver
form. an alloy which is used by dentists
in filing teeth. An alloy of palladium,
gold, silver and copper is used to make
bearings for the works of watches In
that use, one part palladium. three
parts gold, two parts silver and--four
parts copper form a body which pro
duces less friction for the working
parts of a. watch than the gems which
are most commonly used do. Palladium
and steel are combined to make the
most delicate of surgical instruments
1t can be utilized more comprehen-
sively with good results than any other
mineral known.-Brookly Eagle.

The adoption of smokelcss powder in
the Italian army is likely to cost Italy
dear. According to the France Mill
taire. the smokeless powder used by
the Italian artillery has irreparab bly,
damaged a very large number of guns
The powder has produced such an ef-
feet upon the bores of the guns that
some 500 have already been condemned,
and orders have been issued to consid-
erably reduce the amount of gun prac-
tiee. Enormous expense will, in con-
sequence, be necessary to restore tie
italian field artillery to its former state
of efficiency, no less sum than fs, ,oOO,-
900 being mentioned as the amount re-

and the brides family have tof pnt up

ese women are treated as equals, but
they can seldom read or write. The
principal impediment in 3tbe way: Of
marriage Is that each year is named
