In 1893 the astronomical world was
deeply Interested by the discovery Of
an asteroid, Eros, whose mean distance
from the sun Is less than that of the
planet Mars. Now comes the no less
interesting and remarkable news that
an asteroid has been found whose mean
distance is greater than that of the
planet Jupiter. This body was dlscov-
cred at the observatory of Heidelberg
last February, and since then the cal
culatlon of Its orbit has revealed the
fact that when at apheplion the little
Planet Is about 100000 miles outside
tho orbit Of Jupiter. The provisional
designation OF the new asteroid ID
"1006 T. G. This discovery Increases
the probability that the minute sntel-
litas recently discovered circling round
Jupiter are captured asteroids.
More and more the attention Of the
military authorities Of the great ma

adapting the automobile to the trans.
portation OF field artillery. A French
writer points out that the idea Of
self-moving carriage for field-guns was
suggested BY the engineer Cugnot as
early as 176o. At present, efforts are
directed to the perfection of a form
OF automobile suitable to take the place
Of horses In drawing the artillery wag-
ons. Many different forms OF iron-ciad
automobiles, carrying light guns, have
already been invented and tested, with
more or lesa success; but the main
problem 10 to adapt the automobile to
the transportation Of guns mounted
rs at present, on their own carriages
In other words, 1t concerns the aboll.
tion of artillery horses.

the westward journey, when the birds,

The report of the commissioner gem

the commissioner general. lis being
made with the force at my command
to restrain unlawful and fraudulent
practices in the public land states, and
to secure evidence to prosecute those
guilty of violation of the land laws.
The field force is totally inadequate In
number to report all such offenders;
hence the gross offenders are more
particularly sought for
The report condemns as obsolete and
absurd some Of the existing land laws,
in particular the act Of March 3, 1898,
governing the patenting of coal lands.
Title having passed, the government
possesses no guaranty that as public
utility the coal can be made available
to supply the market; on the contrary,
these lands have almost uniformly
passed into the hands Of spectators
or large combinations controlling the
output or the transportation, SO that
the consumer is at the mercy of both

said the report. tThe inducements for
much Of the crime and fraud commit
ted under the present system can be
prevented by separation OF the right
to mine from the title to the soil
The report shows the total cash re-
ceipts for the year from the disposition
Of public lands to have been $9,547 ,273.
Miscellaneous receipts, including sales
Of Indian lands, were $2,0o5, 904; a
grand total Of $11, 553,177, representing
an increase of s3,967,654 in the fetal
receipts over the preceding year, or
52.3 per cent.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 13.-John Cor

burned $4,000 In bills Sunday, short

remnants of the bills were found by

were mostly ashes no attempt will be

He had steadfastly refused to put the
$4,000, his savings for years, into
bank, but kept 1t under his pillow
This morning he amused himself by
setting fire to them and watching them
burn. Shortly before noon, when one
of his sons entered the room, the re-
mains of the bills were found and Cor
don was lying dead on the bed. He
had succumbed to heart disease.

 There IS no question but what this IS the best light that can be obtained short of electricity and when properly installed, it is said requires very little attention to maintain and costs no more than kerosene, with the advan- tage that the amount of gas con- stunned can be regulated accord ing to the actual needs, in this respect it is more economical than oil lamps.
