TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Black Hawk War-May ii.

On May a. 1892. began what is known
In American history as the Black Hawk
War. 1t was little more than brush"
between the United States troops and
the Indians, which occurrences were quite
frequent in those days, and this war is
noted chiefly through the picturesqueness
Of the Indian chief who has given 1t its
name.
In 1872 Black Hawk was persuaded by
Tecumseh 10 join the British ranks as
brigadier general With SEQ native fol-
lowers he did valiant deeds against the
United States, and incidentally learned
much about civilized warfare Keokuk.

to be-a friend Of the government Black
Hawk hated Keokuk. A treaty had been
made whereby for a yearly payment OF
$1,000 the Sacs and Foxes were 20 turn
over 90 the white men a 700-mile tract Of
land east Of the Mississippi River. Ac-
cordingly Keokuk and his followers
moved west across the river. Black
Hawk refused 10 go. He said the officers
had made the chiefs drunk and tricked
them into the unfair treaty. He started
for the purpose Of destroying all settlers
who should try 20 seize the Indian lands.
Bloodshed followed Being assured that
many tribes would flock TO his standard
he found himself on the brink OF war
with the government lie succeeded in
drawing 10 his cause less than half the
following he needed for such a conflict.
He sent a flag Of truce 20 a government
force that was pursuing him. The In
dian who bore the flag was shot down BY
the soldiers. whereat Black Hawk, in

The Government Scientist Asleep.

Dreams are made Of such stuff appar-
emily that they may be not only Of
official but Of really scientific value. II
IS not often that the sedate hearings Of
a Congressional committee are enlivened
by tributes TO the influence Of sleep
There is. accordingly, more than ordi-
nary Importance attaching to that part
Of the report Of the hearings before the
House Appropriations Committee devoted
20 the explanation OF an estimate for
the support or the Astrorhysical Observ-
atory Of the Smithsonian Institution. The
director Of that branch. Mr. c. G. Abbot.
was explaining the occasion for the in
crease Of the cost OF maintenance from
$1,000 to $4,000 for the next fiscal year.
and IN this connection he described the
development Of an apparatus which
would measure through the year the
amount of radiation Of the sun, with the
idea that such mechanism, simple and
inexpensive. might be placed in the hands
Of every farmer. in order to determine
the influence Of the rays Of the sun upon
the growth Of crops. The development
Of such an apparatus involves the solu-
ton Of many problems, and in the course
Of his remarks this colloquy ensued-we
quote from the Official document:
Mr.. Abbot-That is 10 say. we ought 10
have a simple apparatus which can be
put into the hands of every farmer so
that he could measure through the year
the amount Of radiation that he receives
from the sun
Mr.. smith, think that would be valu-
able. but
Mr.. Abbot-And as I was saying. I was
talking 70 Mr. Briggs about it this morn
Ing. and he said he was coming up 20
discuss with me apparatus for that pur-
pose: that he was going 70 talk Il over
with me. And might say that had
dream about IL last night. and when I
walked ] found Il was a good one. so that
I think have IN mind the very thing for
him
Mr.. Smlth-Don't you think II would he
better 10 measure the cloth after II is
shrunk rather than try 70 ascertain how
much Il will shrink
Mr.. Abbot-Both. I think.
Mr.. Abbot IS here credited with mos,
productive dream, although. by the con
struction OF the sentence. one is led 70
doubt whether the dream was a good
one" or the results possessed the virtuous
Characteristic. There may be those who
will take this occasion TO soon at the

geston for their contributions 10 the
