Col Geo. w. Knabel, Of Santa
Fe. mAkes an interesting calcula
tion showing the immense amount
OF land given the territory by the
federal government for school pur-
poses. According to Col. Knae.
BELLS figures the territory contains
1864, l6O acres, OF which 5000.
900 acres have been given outright
to the territory and cannot be sold
for less than 50 per acre. In addi-
tion some 1904, l60 acres may be
leased for not less than 2 cents an
acre. If all the latter be rented at
the minimum rate the territory
will have an income therefrom OF
$76,0S3 per year. This will help
to make the financial standing Of
the territory even more secure
than at present and should be a
great inducemsnt for Outside capi
tai to invest 10 the territory.

It was made compulsory in the time
Of Richard II. for innkeepers to hang
out signs. But they became so large
as to impede the highway, and am act
was passed to limit them ito seven feet
in length. The last Tepressive act was
passed in 1852 for taking down all
overhanging signs, and this was so ef-
tectual that scarcely any remained by
ITO except few over the bOokstalls
In Holywell street
Many signs had been painted by
world-renowned masters. For a pic
ture of Shakespeare for a sign in Lit
tie Russell street, Drify Lane, the
sum OF $500 was paid. The great
mart for the average. pOtboiler' sign
Kept In stock was Harp Alley, Shoe
Lane. Some OF the sign s were so
preposterously massive as to pull out
the front OF the house they adorned.
such an event happened in St. Brides
Lane in 171S. killing. with others, the
Kings 1eWeler and two ladies'. A sign
OF the Three Queens, in Clerkwell, on
the other hand, was SO firmly built In
that when ordered to be removed in
1864, 1t cost e2O0 to take down.
The constructions reputed TO be the
largest were the signs Of the Castle, in
Fleet street, and Of the White Hart, in
Southwark. Among the best modern
examples, the place of honor must be
given to the one at the bottom of St.
James's street. II was very et 'ective,
Was IN harmony with the buildin g, and
was the nrst important sign put up In
LONDON during her Majesty's reign.

A Shower of Meteors.

Wednesday morning, Nov. 10,
astro nomers say, the periodic show
er of meteors will fall, and they
predict a grand and beautiful eXhi-
bition of heavenly pyrotechnics.
The hour at which it will begin is
not fixed exactly but it is expected
to be at it maximum at about 1 a.
IN. and will continue for two or
three nights.
The brilliancy of the display will
be considerably marred, however,
by the moon which will be nearly
full mt that time, thus proving that
pale Luna by her excentricity is no
exception as distuber of public
pleasure to those lunatics on earth
who indulge the same reprehensible
habit. However, as the period for
the unique shower will not occur
again In 33 years it will be we'll for
those who desire to witness it to Sc
cure seats in advance and be prepar-
ed to sit up all night keeping a sharp
lookout in the direction of the Leo
nids, which are supposed to be frag-
ments of former comet. Millions
of them will fall and they will ap-
pear as dazzling globes of multi col
ored flame. The fact that they
ignite and dissolve Oh coming in
contact with the atmosphere is all
that saves Mother earth from being
shot full of holes and destroyed.
