Public Lands in Oklahoma

A careful investigation Of the public
records dlscloses the fact that there are
yet several millions Of acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement
It has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied,
but such is not the fact Owing to the
method adopted for the opening of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
on single track on the day Of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of q
contest, or run the risk Of other trou-
BILE, would, unknown to each other,
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands at those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines Of railroads,
and thus many hundreds of almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
homa were pasesd over in the mad rush
for homes.
It is true that large portion of the
yet unclaimed public lands are more fit
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds Of
good homes awaiting the taking in that
country and undoubtedly large num-
Der of eastern people will take advan-
tage Of the same the coming season.

WHY A NEGROES HAIR CURL s
Protects the Brain from tho Heat of "
Tropical sun.

From the st. Louis Republics; The
fiat nose Of the African and his large
nostris result from the necessity of in
haling larger draughts Of tropical air
t1 produce the same degree of vitality,
because Of its greater expansion; thus
the increased exercise produces in
creased expansion of the nostrils of n
larger nose. The curling of the Afri-
cans hair, while universal on his con-
tlnent, is common in every country Of
the globe, Perhaps this has its scien-
tific solution in the fact that the cur.s
defect the rays of the tropical sun, thus
preventing their more severe penetTa-
uon into the brain. In the transmits
sion of light 1t is law that every in
tCrvening object with which a ray
ZONES in contact bends and diverts in
another direction. Heat curls every
kind of hair and that which is provided
in nature for the protection of the brain
from injury by the rays of tropical
sur is a created endowment, which by
degrees is becoming naturally trans
missible and inherited The skull OF
the African, with its peculiar thickness,
affords another feature of protection to
the brain. 1t is evident that it is the
outdoor exposure OF the working
classes that makes their skin so black.
IT must also be remembered that it is
net the skin alone of the men of Africa
which manifest deep color, but this
characteristic is noticed in all the birds,
beasts, fish, reptiles and plants. An
other fact in relation to this phenom-
eron is that everything grows less
deeply colored as we approach the polar
regions. There the white bear is found
and nowhere else, while the black bear
lives and is now native to almost every
other climate.

Dingley of Maine--a good man and q
deep thinker-has no capacity for

Of the general dullness of trade and
the absolutely fat condition of business
and commercial opportunity for money
making.
THE question Of profit making" said
Dingley, has all but departed from the
business world. Men are now glad If
the chance presents itself to pay eX-
penses and hold their own"
"Oh, don't know" said Allen, in his
grave, far-off way and with that drawl
which would have warned anybody but
Dlngley 81 don't know as / can agree

I've but little capacity for business, and

But even $50 thick are they lying
about-had pressed on me as came to

Dingloy quite excited, its most re-
markable. What was the opportunity,
Allen, to invest which would pay 20
per cent in n week? should very much
like to hear Of It,"
why" drawled Allen, ut was on the
cable cars, The conductor offered to
sell me six tickets for a quarter; clean
gain, you see, of 20 per cent over paying
for rides at cents ride. But, as |
said, couldn't close with him; l didn't
have the capital"
Even then it didn't enter Dingley's
head that the gentle Allen was guying
him. He looked at him soberly and
earnestly moment and retorted' "of
course I don't say there may not be
isolated chances to make profit, as in
the one case you name, but, putting 1t
as a general condition, Allen, | meant
