THROWING THE DISCUS.

far as possible 4 circular or lentIc.
ular disk of bronze was used at least
as early as the beginning of the fifth
century.
A standard weight must, of course,
be assumed for the great games. \
discus now in the British museum,
which seems to have been used, weighs
il pounds ounces, but whether this
was the standard weight or not is not
definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon
slight elevation of limited circumfer-
ence. where he could have secure
foothold and was prevented from run

and a corresponding movement OF the
whole body, he hurled the discus as far
as possible.

James thought minute and replied.
"Why, I would give him quinine, OF
course"
But suppose you could not obtain
that drug?" said the professor.
James thought the matter over again
and said, I'D give him quinine, pro-
fessor, sure"
The old professor became exasperat-
ed and said: "It is plain that you are
seeking to evade the question. Now.
/ want YOU to suppose that there is not
any quinine within 500 miles,
James hung his head in deep thought
and finally answered, Professor, Ia

Montana Forest Reserves.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-The forest
reserves of Montana yielded to the
government over fifty.eight thous and
dollars during the fiscal year just
ended. This is by far the largest sum
ever realized by Uncle Sam from his
forest holdings in that state. It is a
gratifying showing. Under!lthe new
law ten per cent of this sum, or S5, 800,
will be turned into the treasures of
the various counties of the state in
which the government is operating
forest reserves.
The ten per cent contributed to the
counties is safeguarded in the act by
q provision that it must be spent en-.
tirely for the maintenance of schools
and public roads. The state legisla-
lures are allowed to direct the ex-
penditure. Another safeguard is that
the contributions from forest reserve
receipts must not in any case be
greater than forty per cent of the taxes
received from other sources. The
governors of all the states and terri.
tories in which forest reserves are
situated have been informed by letter
concerning the amount which will
come to each state at the present time
from the forest reserve proceeds of the
last fiscal year.

Murderer Commits Suicide.

MINNEAPoL1s. July IA search
by the police of the house of N. NJ.
Riggs, who killed himself at Elroy,
Wis.,, last night after being arrested
for the murder Of Millie Ellison in
Minneapolis, has supplied enough evi.
dence to convict him of the crime. even
had he not acknowledged it by his own
act.
Riggs was so we'll thought Of at
Elroy that the village authorities hest.
tased to arrest him when requested to
do 90 by the Minneapolis police. After
he was nominally placed under arrest
he was allowed to go several miles
out in the country to visit his wife
and daughter who were staying with
friends. He returned to Elroy with
them and was kept At the hotel, when
he requested to be allowed to 90 to q
toilet room. Knowing the premises
thoroughly, he searched several rooms
until he found revolver, with which
he killed himself.
The police regard the case as one oi
the strangest on record, iuasmuch as
Riggs did not need the money and was
in position that called for steady
habits and self.control.

New Surveys On Big Muddy.


WASHINGTON, July ll.-Prepara.
tions are being made q, the general
land Office for the survey of l,OOO, 900
acres Of land in Valley county, near
the Big Muddy river, in eastern Mon.
taua. These lands. it is said, will
make splendid wheat farms. The soil
there resembles greatly the texture Of
the famous Canadian wheat tracts.
With these lands once surveyed, it
will not take long before Valley coun.
ty will be one OF the most prosperous
counties in Montana. Homesteaders
have not taken up this land before
now for the reason that title cannot
be obtained to public lands without
first having the same surveyed. 1t
will cost Uncle Sam about S25 900 to
survey the big tract. The department
will advertise for bids within3the next
few days.
