our VAST PUBLIC DUMAIN
Its Area Graphically Shown by a
Recent Publication.
Free Territory Embraces One-thtrd
of the Entire Country-Its Forests
and Mineral Wealth.

A novel and interesting report has just
been issued by the United States Geological
Survey on the public lands now opened TO
entry and settlement which embrace one
third OF the whole extent of the country,
exclusive OF 4 laSka.
The relative location and area OF this
vast domain OF free land is shown by Il
large coiorcd map and tie distribution is
further illustrated in the report by means
of diagrams showing the proportion from
each State and Territory. Numerous photo
graphs OF scenery in the West are also
given. The character OF the land is
described in general terms and shown by
a colored map exhibiting the forests, wood
lands and grazing areas.
The main point developed by this report
is that the value of the lands OF this unoccu-
pied third of the United States is dependent
primarily upon the water supply Much
far the greater portion cannot be irrigated,
and has value mainly for pasturage and for
forest growth. II is claimed that the great
question before the American people is
how best to utilize this vast area to develop
its agricultural possibilities, aud how to
use that portion which cannot be culti-
waited for grazing and for the production
OF timber.
This report gives in concise form the re-
suits of years of investigation and brings
together in the most clear and striking man
ner the most striking facts concerning the
peoples heritage.

MINOR DISTRICT ITEMS.

Secretary Smith Waited Upon by a
Delegation OF Chicapoo Indians.

The office of Secretary OF the Interior
Smith resembled a miniature Indian reser-
walton yesterday morning. Three Chicka-
poo Indians, arrayed in gaudy costumes,
with paint upon their faces called upon the
the Secretary to protest against the open
ing OF certa I'm land in Oklahoma.
Strange 10 say these Indians did not
claim to be chiefs or high medicine men
OF their tribe. They are simply delegates.
White Wood, also a ChicapOo, but who was
dressed as an ordinary individual, ac-
companied the partya ndactedas Interpreter.
He proved TO be more proficient in thelat-
ter role than he did In that OF guide and
strayed several blocks out OF his way In
his effort to find the Interior Department.
The queer looking group attracted much
attention on the Avenue, especially among
the several boys, who thought that a circus
had come TO town. White Wood and his
companions were finally started out on the
correct trail and were soon within the
portals OF Uncle Sans big white building
where they were safe from tue gaze of the
cur nus public.

BEN FRANKLIN's KITE
With Which the Philosopher First
Drew Lightning From the Clouds
e'assier's Maya zine.

easster's Magazine.
1t was q square kite, not the coffin
shaped affair shown in story book pic
lures. To the upright stick of the cross
Franklin attached his pointed rod-a sharp
wire, about foot long-and provided him
self with q silk ribbon and key; the
ribbon TO fasten to the string after he had
raised the kite, as some possible protec-
tion-how much he did not know-against
the lightning entering his body, and the key
TO be secured to the junction OF the ribbon
and string To serve as 4 conductor from
which he might draw the sparks of celes-
tal fire-if it came.
When the thunder storm broke he went
out on the open common near PHiia delphia
and faced death-faced the tremendous
power OF the lightning stroke, before
which all people OF all ages had quailed
in terror-faced what most of the world
then believed to be the avenging blow of an
sngered God. True, he believed that cleo
tricity and lightning were the same thing,
and, therefore, had no different proper
ties or effects. But he did not know it.
| The best existing theory which accounted
for electrical phenomena at that time was
his own. The laws of electrical eoBduc-
ton or resistance. now so familiar, were
not even suspected. Who could predict
that the lightning would obey any law?
Besides, he had produced tremendous
| shocks with his Leyden Jars in series and
had killed birds with them. More than
that, he had been terribly shocked himself
by the same means-stUnned into iusen-
Utility and nearly killed. He had said,
again and again, that an electric shock,
| If strong enough, would blot out life,
| though without pang. II his idea was
| correct, il his conviction was true, he
wasnow about to III anelectricaIdischarge
beside which that OF the most powerful of
mau-made batteries would seem weak and
| insignificant.
All the world knows what happened. The
kite SCARED up into the black cloud, while
| the philosopher stood calmly in the drench-
| ing rain watching the string, until finally
he saw the little fbreS of the hemp raise
| themselves. Then, without a tremor, he
| touched his kuucklc to the key-and lived.
For the spark cracked and Ieaped to his
| finger as harmlessly as did that from his old
| familiar electrical machine. and allowed him
to charge his Jars with it with the same
| Impunity. He sent the story OF what he had
done abroad. without particle of trumpet
| ing. He was not a discoverer for revenue.
No stock market awaited the announce
ment of his claims; no newspaper stood
ready To blazen forth his achievements In
the interest of the money jugglers. His
own narrative barely fills one of the little
columns of the Gendeman's Magazine for
/ October IS, 1882, and has at its end only
| the initials b. F.

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Columbia Heights Citizens Say 1t Is


At the last regular meeting OF the Colum-
bia Heights Citizens Association the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That, in the opinion OF the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association,
the only real solution of the illumination
problem i'll this city lies in the direction of
municipal ownership OF the source or sup
ply; that all attempts to regulate gas and
electric light monopolies are a failure;
that alleged reductions in price do not re-
suit in reductions in the size OF the bills
and that competing companies, so called,
instead OF competing, combine.
Resolved, That, this association most
cordially indorSeS the position taken by the
District commissioners in their proposal
that the District shall furnish its citizens
with cheap and good Illumination, honestly
measured and control the conduits for an
efficient and cheap telephone service.
Resolved, That we invite the other cti-
zens associations, and particularly the
press of the District TO an active and per-
sistenC agitation of this subject, with the
end in view of securing municipal owner
ship of the gas and electric light supply
and municipal control OF the telephone ser
vice.
Resolved, That copy of these reSolu-
tions be furnished the chairmen OF the two
District Committees in Congress, and sent
to the press.
