Racing for a $4,000 Meteorolite.

TOPEKA, Kan, June ga local
paper says: 1t is probable there
is an object that does not appear
on the surface of the sudden de-
parture for Alaska for Prof. Dyche
of the Kansas State university.
During his northern trip last sum.
mer the professor paid a visit to
the largest meteor stone in the
world, in Greenland, and imme-
diately announced his determine
ton to possess 1t. Perry, however,
claimed the meteorolite by right
of discovery and warned the pro-
fessor not to attempt to smove 1t.
AS the meteorolite weighs dozens
of tons Perry's warning was of
necessity needed at the time, but
Prof. Dyche stated distinctly that
he intended within few years to
return for the stone. Last week
the dispatches announced that
Perry would sail for the meteor
stone this summer. AS soon as
Prof. Dyche can, he will sail fer
the north from Seattle and 1t is
probable his mission Is not Alaska
nor the North Pole, but Green
land and it is to secure the me-
teorolite. Prof. Dyche is man OF
great energy and il he has in
reality started on a race for the
great meteorolite the conquences
are a lively race to Greenland.
The stone is roughly estimated to
be worth $50, 900.

4 Small i-aaIi ufa1l:

What beyond doubt is the smallest body of land ever granted by the United States as a homestead is ill Dade, the extreme southeastern county of the state of Florida. It consists of small island in the north end of Lake Worth, and it is less than one-fourth of an acre in extent. Yet the claim for it was en- tered in the land office at Gainesville, and the owner paid five dollars for the fee and 2 cents for the land. He makes about $50 month from his investment, as the island is right in the path of green and loggerhead turtles coming into the lake from the ocean to feed, and there he catches them.
