Turned Round by the Sun.

large granite ball. Weighing two
tons. in cemetery in Ohio Is slowly
turning on its axis. During the last
five years the ball has turned 13N
inches. When the ball was placed in
position an unpublished spot 6 inches
in diameter was left In the socket OF
the pedestal on which 1t rested. A
year ago it was noticed that the un-
polished spot was turning upward on
the south side Of the monument. The
revolution of the huge polished ball.
which IL would require n derrick to
lit, is supposed to be due to the suns
heating one Side OF 1t. the south. and
causing 1t to expand. while the north
side. which rests most In the shade.
does not expand to the same extent.
and thus the ball gradually shifts Its
position by turning.

The secretary of the interior sub
mitted report to the Senate in re.
sponse to the resolution introduced by
Senator Kearns, which directed the
secretary to explain the causes of the
delay in the opening of the Uintah
reservation beyond the time set in the
act providing for its opening, which
was passed May 81, 1902. In his re-
port the secretary states that the delay
was due mainly to the fact that the
act providing for the opening made
no provision for surveying the reser.
vation or making allotments of land
to the Indians. both being necessary
before the reservation could be
opened. The provision for the surveys
was finally made March 3. 1903. when
$175,00O was appropriated for the
work. Surveys have been proceeded
with as rapidly as possible since the
funds were provided, and will be COM
pleted and approved by March of this
year. After that time there will be
1900 allotments to be made before the
reservation can be opened and this Will
require, 1t is estimated. three or four
months time. and will permit of the
opening of the reservation during the
coming summer season.
The Presidents message transmit
ting to the Senate the new San Do
mingo protocol, was read at an execu-
tive session. The leading feature of
the message was that in order to main
tain the Monroe doctrine 1t was nee
essary for the United States to see
that Just claims contracted by South
and Central American republics and
those of the West Indies. should be
paid and that therefore. 1t was in the
interest of peace for this government
to take over the control of the rev.
enues In San Domingo. The protocol
was not read at the executive session
but was at once referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations.
