STEALING LAND FROM

in These Gigantic Frauds,

A law that plays an important part
IN the land frauds is known as the
forest reserve act, by which there may
be set aside by Presidential proclama-
tion public lands IN the States and Ter
rltories to be preserved as forests. The
usual method Of creating n forest re-
serve from the school land of a State
is to grant TO the state other public
land in lieu of that withdrawn. In the
event that the State has already issued
patents 10 private individuals for this
land, or any part of it, the Govern.
ment issues scrip" to such holders
that is, it allows them TO take up other
lands owned by the United States, in
place Of these state school lands with
drawn for the forest reserve. Here is
where the land-grabbers found their
easiest way TO defraud the Govern
ment.
The school lands are frequently
worthless. In Oregon and California,
for example, where the greater part
Of this particular method Of land-grah-
bling was carried on. many Of the lands
were located in the mountainous re-
gions OF the States. On the other
hand, the lands given in exchange by

ceiyed in exchange were worth from

sickness.

An ingenious selfleveling sea bunk
for vessels, the object of which is
10 overcome the discomfort to the
passenger of mal-de-mer, has been
devised by London dentist. It has
now been in successful operation
uyon one of the mail-boats plying
across the English Channel The de-
vice comprises a swinging cot with
four cords passing from the corners
to electric brakes. which automatic
ally check any attempt Of the cot
to depart from its position. While
the cot remains level. the cords are
free to pass on and off the pulleys
on the brakes. The slightest loss
of horizontally of the cot causes
mercury in four tubes to fall in some
of them and rise in others, and so
complete the electric current to the
particular brake required to be put
in operation to check the further
loss of horizontally. The loss Of
level from the variation of the posi-
tion taken by the passenger is auto
matically compensated; water being
practically the same specific gravity
as the human body, a heavy man will
press more water to the foot of a spe-
cially.designed water bed than a light
weight, as also from side to side.
