addition the commissioner directed at
tention to the fact that now persons
are authorized to register applicants for
this proposed opening at this time.
The reservation will be the thrown open

easiest thing in the world to prove that
the sun is hot enough to melt iron,

into liquid, into steam."
'How would You make such proof?"
she asked incredulously.

"Yes''
"The solar he<t which the burning
glass collects for us is the tiniest frac-
ton Of the suns actual heat We can
prove this by focusing with our glass
rays from a powesful lamp or a great
fire. We get a small, bright spot, lit

glass concentrates many hundreds Of
sun rays for us, and it gives us heat
greater than we can obtain in any fur
mace, heat that will melt rock into
vapor."
The scientist smiled triumphantly.

FOR NEW NEW RAILROAD.
Pierre May be the Terminus Of
New Short Line

Project is well afoot to construct a
railroad from Omaha for 36t miles
northwest, through the wheat district
of the state of South Dakota, east of
the Missouri river.
An English syndicate represented,by
two Nebraska men, is backing the en-
terprise, and capital to the extent of
$l7,000,O0O will be involved. Surveys
for the road have been made to the
Southern border of this state, and the
claim is made that construction work
will be commenced in June, and that
the line will be built in the shortest
possible time.
A party Of Omaha men have met the
representatives of the English syndi-
cate on several occasions and are
quietly pushing the project under the
utmost secrecy. They are w. S,
Wright, f. w. Judson, David Cole, E..
E. Bruce, 9. F, Weller, II. II. Bald
ridge and A. l.. Reed.
Two representatives of the English
syndicate and an Omaha capitalist
drove from Gettysburg to Pierre the
