stead laws to all lands which have
been acquired from Indian tribes in
al the public land states and is Of

Why Everybody smiled.

An amusing scene was witnessed oy
many pedestrians one day at the corner
Of Thirty seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet high. covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses a
lot ON that corner, where the founda-
tions Of now building are being laid
Ii was the noon hour, and six brawny
sons Of Erin were seated ON slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped 10

smile, for directly above this jolly group
Of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,

Here indeed was a pleasant satire, the
result Of accident. No wonder the work
ingmen wondered why people smiled tn
them so much.-New York Herald

How Fa.t the Earth Moves.

Everybody knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution ON its axis once
i'm each "a hours But few, however,
have any idea Of the high rate of speed
at which such an immense hall must
turn in order TO accomplish the feat OF
making one revolution in a day and n
night. A graphic idea of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps mp year
after year may be had by comparing Its
speed 10 that Of cannon ball fired from
q modern high pressure gun The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at ], ,G26 feet per
second, which is equal to a mile IN
3 2-IO seconds. The earth, IN making
one complete revolution IN the short
space Of % hours, must turn with
velocity almost exactly equal TO that of
the cannon ball In short, its rate OF
speed at the equator is exactly 1907
feet per second. This is equal to n mile
every 3 6-lO seconds, IL miles n min

Castlc Garden AQUARIUM.

Castle Garden, that historic and prison
like old structure standing on New
| York's waterfront at the Battery, has
become a public aquarium after check
cred career OF almost century, during
which 1t has lived through many strange
vicissitudes. Authorities have stated
that it will contain the most complete
display OF marine life to be seen in any
part OF the world when it is fully stock ed,
but that seems long way off yet. Even
now however, it presents many interest
ing and Instructive exhibits, and should
be ranked with the other great museums
of the metropolis. Within those time
| honored walls have already been gat hered
many varieties of specimens, ranging all
the way from whales to coral insects,
from tlmid brook trout to almost human
sea-lions, from ugly devil-tish to the ex-
/ quisitely colored sea -Hnemones.
Castle Garden was built in 1905, by he
Federal government, for a fort, and, as
Castle Clinton. helped to guard the en-
trance to the East river, with Castle
William Just across on Governors island.
Castle Clinton was then several hundred
yards out from the land, and surrounded
by water, as Fort Lafayette in the Mar
nOWs now stands. Il was abandoned as
- fortress in 1s22. however. and coded to
the state authorities. During the thirty
years tnat followed, leased to private in
dividuals, it was used Summer gar
den, from which it received its present
name, and within it, wallis have taken
place many events famous in the history
of Manhattan.
The ratters and pillars that support its
great roof have e 'heed many strange
