LESS THAN ONE-FOURTH FILE
FOR RESERVATION LAND

Aberdeen, S. d., July 16.-Final re-
turns from the United States land Of.
flee show that Of the first 5000 win
ners in the land drawing on the Chey-
enne River and Standing Rock reserva-
tons, only 1880 completed their filings.
Two thousand, four hundred and eight
made their selections, but after the 10
days allowed by law had elapsed since
the filings closed, only 1880 were found
to have completed the transaction.
This Is a trifie less than one-fourth,
and it is believed the proportion Of
the remaining 10000 who are privileged
to file after September l will be much
lower.
The light rainfall this year is be-
lieved to have discouraged many pros
pective homesteaders, although the av-
erage rainfall in the reservation coun-
try compares fovorably with that In
| other sections Of the northwest.

thorities agree, says the Scientific
American. Another estimate has re-
Gently been made by c. Nordman. The
effective temperature determined with
his pyrometer was found to be about
$500 degrees absolute. Now, the bright
ness Of an in~candescent body emitting
white light varies sensibly as a funo-
ton OF the temperature, and this law
has been verified by comparison with
numerous terrestrial light sources. TAX

The solar surface is thus considered TO
