INDIANS INTEND TO FILE.
Find a Means of Holding Lands In the
Reservations.


OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., July 90
Keo Tuck, an Indian, has given notice
at the land office at Ell Reno of his in
tention to file upon the quarter sec
ton of land adjoining the town site
of Lawton, which will be the principal
town in the new country of the Kiowa
and Comanche reservation. This is
probably the most valuable tract of the
entire $4,000 to be opened.
The application is made under a
section of the United States statutes
passed in 1887, which gives to every
homeless Indian the right to go to any
part of the public domain and to make
entry for any tract of land that is not
in the possession of a homesteader.
The section has never been repealed
and the right of the Indians who have
no allotments or who were omitted
from the tribal rolls is one that they
can exercise at any time, it is stated.

WEATHER BUREAU ENCOURAGED.
Rain Having Fallen 1t Believes the Corn
Belt Will Get More.

Belt Will Get More.
WASHINGTON July 20. = The
weather bureaus advices from the
great corn belt Saturday were more
encouraging than any that have come
to hand for forty days, showing in
the opinion of the forecasters that the
drouth has been broken by general
showers in many portions of that sec
tion and with a prospect of their con-
tinuation today. Coincident with the
fall of rain have come reduced tenn
peratures. With few exceptions the
temperatures reported were not OBJ
normally high, no maximums of 100
degrees being reached. West of the
Mississippi river they were generally
in the neighborhood of 80 degrees.
The forecasters, while not making
any specific predictions as to the eff
feet of the rain on the crops, express
the opinion that all those crops which
have not been irreparably ruined will
be benefited by the breaking of the
droUth. The late crops naturally would
be helped the most.
The reports show that during the
past twentyfour. hours showers were
quite general in he corn belt and were
heavy over much of the state of Iowa
and over part of the corn belt not
hitherto visited by rains, including
western Nebraska, southern Missouri
and Oklahoma

ing waters had vanished. This was
a great blow to the inhabitants, but re-
Gently the waters of Sloan have been
made to flow once again, and there
has been great rejoicing in the holy
land. 1t appears that Jerusalem has
been especially short of water of late,
and it occurred to some of the inhabi-
tants of Sloan to try to find out
whether the spring which used to
supply the pool was really dry. Tons
Of accumulated rubbish were cleared
away, and after about q months work
the spring was found. The excavators
discovered behind some fallen rocks
an old aqueduct running away into the
valley of the Kedron, and into this
aqueduct the beautiful, cool, clear
water had run and been wasting for
years.-Sunday Companion.

NOTES ON SCIENCE.
CURRENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY
AND INVENTION.
Mexlco's Stone Idols-Found Only In
Remains of Cities Destroyed Centuries
Ago-Another Invention For us In
Case of Fire-A Magic Ball.
STONE IDOLS OF MEXICO.

These idols are OF very distinct
types, each locality having its own
characteristic forms. The material
naturally varies with the class OF
stone found in the vicinity; some are
of granite, some OF marble, and the
largest number are of volcanic rock,
some Of hard larva, and others, includ-
ing the largest, of the soft tufa which
is found so extensively in the volcanic
regions, and is most easily worked.
One small idol, in human form, is OF
material so light that it will float on
the surface of water. They vary great
ly in size, the largest being over five
feet in height, while the smaller ones
do not exceed a fingers length. The
great majority are crude representa-
tons of human figures, but there are
also images Of quadrupeds of various
kinds, and also of birds. The largest
specimen of this ancient sculpture is
that known as the "Stone Lions of Co
chiti," in which the animals are each
six feet long and surrounded by an
absolutely circular wall, like some OF
the Druidical remains in England; but
they are carved from the solid rock
and while a most important and inter
esting relic of ancient fetish worship
in connection with the chase, yet they
are immovable and cannot be classed
among household goods.
AS previously suggested, none of
these idols are ever found in the ruins
Of the large number of Pueblo towns
destroyed or deserted about the time
of the revolution of 1850, and which
are those most accessible and usually
visited. They only exist in the ruins
of cities destroyed centuries ago, while
the aboriginal religion was universal
and before any destruction or hiding
of idols had occurred as consequence
of the introduction of Christianity. 1t
is possible, therefore, says a writer IN
Leslie's Weekly, with certainty to fix
the age of every such stone idol at
not less than 300 years, and many OF
them are, no doubt, very much older.
Their varied types not only represent
different localities, but different phases
of advance in art in the same locality.
No more interesting relicts of the an
cient civilization of America have ever
been discovered within the limits OF
the United States.
