When Garfield was inaugurated
PRESIDENT of the United States on
the 4th of March, 1881, after he had
taken the oath Of office in the pres
ence of many thousands of people,
he kissed the holy bible and then
turns and kisses his aged
mother and his wife. No artist can
do justice to that event. He knew
how proud his mother was to see
him installed in the highest Office
in the gift of the American people,
and in that hour Of exaltation, his
heart turned to his mother. How
different this beautiful example left
by our martyred president to that of
the average "Young American who
never fails to speak of his mother
as ''the old woman. ."--Exchange.

BIG LAND SALES.

More public land was sold in
North Dakota this year than in the
other states of the union altogether,
$4,757,979 worth Of land being sold
throughout the country. Of this
total, North Dakota contributed
$87O,28O. The reclamation fund
will consequently be increased to
about $26,OOO,OOO. Considering the
large tracts Of the public domain
withdrawn from entry recently on
account of irrigation, the showing
is regarded as good.
The Annual Report Of the Land
Office Department shows that dur
ing the year .$l6,079.075 acres Of
public land and 77,746 acres Of In
dian lands were disposed of, the
total exceeding that for 1904 by
.65O,OOO acres, of public lands dis
posed Of, l2,895,571 acres were en-
tered under the homestead laws,
696,677 under the timber and stone
law, 711,l24 under the desert land
law and 285, ,757 acres Of swamp land
patented. The total receipts for the
year, including those from the sale
of Indian lands, were $7,Ol7,9l1.
Under the law, the net proceeds Of
the sale of public lands are turned
into the treasury for the benefit of
the irrigation reclamation fund and
the total amount for the year to be
so disposed of is approximately
$4,756,O79, of which North Dakota
receives $S7O,79O, and Montana
$35O,O3l.

LIGHTER Motors fer Cars.

BY the use of worm gearing between
the motors and axles on the new mo-
tor cars on the Zurich erlikon cleo
trio line in Germany the weight of the
motors has been reduced over so per
cent. The reduction ratio of the gear
ing is - to 1, the worm having a
triple thread with 9 pitch of 100 milli-
meters and an angle of 20 minutes 55
seconds. The worms are coupled to
the motor shaft by flexible couplings,
so their whole weight is borne on
springs, and are of hardened steel,
wEile the worm wheels are OF phos-
phor bronze. In trial tests the gear
has shown an efficiency of 95 per cent
in transmitting twenty-five horse
power, and a little less at higher and
lower loads. The worm gearing weighs
only $50 pounds, which, with motors
wound for SOC volts and running at
1000 revolutions per minute, ia a sub
stantial reduction from the weight of
the ordinary spur gearing OF equal ca
pacity, $50 pounds.

S.uiss Change Hymn,

TT IS not often that nation changes
its national hymn. The Swiss
- have, however, formally an
nounced their intention of SO doing and
of adopting the less we'll known Swiss
psalm, or "Cantique SUISSE instead
of the hitherto universally sung go
Mouts Independents.
The reason of this change is that the
latter has always been rendered to
Carey's melody of "God. Save the
King" which is identical also with the
German "Heil Dir i'm Siegerkranz, !"
and the Switzers are beginning to find
this sameness. too confusing. Hence
forth, therefore, they will change their
tune to one which shall be theirs only,
and, indeed, the melody accompanying
the words, "Sur nos monts guand lie
soleil,'' ETC., of the ''Cantique Suisse"
is, if anything, more inspiring than the
old one.
It is also by a true son of the Alps,
one zwyssig, to whom monument was
erected on the Lake of the -Four Cam
tons'' a few years ago. That the
"late' national anthem can have had
but small hold on the peoples affec-
tions is proved by the way the new -
one is readily accepted on all Sides
