WHY WINDS BLOW.
Why There is Such q Thing as Air
Currents, or Wind.

Astronomers and other scientists
have not yet succeeded in ascertain
ing just how far the atmosphere Of
our earth extends above the land and
the sea on which it rests, but some
of them hope to some day SOON. Tne
Astronomer Royal of England, who
mas completed his report for the tis-
cal year ending May 10, tells some
very interesting things abou: the va
rying densities, attitudes and tenipe.-
atures of the air cushions, air lp CD
cts and air currents surrounding Ih :
earth.
In reference to air currents and
the reasons why the wind blows, the
report explains that air consists of
gaseous particles, all trying to get
away from one another, aYl that,
compelled to come closer together by
contraction, or forced to t!y further
apart by expansion. A quart bottle.
for example holds % grains CT air a.
the temperature o. 70 degrees. If
the bottle be cooled by surrounding
it with ice, the air inside contracts.
When this occurs, more al rushes
In through the bottles ne:k. The
urart of air now weighs more than
22 grains. If the bottle be heated.
the air expands; its tiny particles fly
further asunder, and many CT them
escape from the bottle altogether.
There Is still a quart Of air, but 1t
weighs much less than the original!
22 grains.
Now, consider the earth and the
sra under the influence o. varying
degrees Of the suns hea.. Where
the heat is greatest. the air is made
lighter and expands. Where the
heat is least, the air is uGeSoanded
and heavy. Poth hot and cold air
have weight, but the COLI. being
heavier, is drawn more effectively to
the ground. In doing so it drives
the lighter air up out Of its way,
Just as lump Of lead dropped into
pail of water forces soma OF the
water upward. If the earth were
equally warm at every part, and ccn-
tinued at constant temuerature e,
wind could not exist. 1t "blows' be-
cause Of heat and gravitation. IN
other words air moves from the place
where it's weight or pressure IS most
toward the place where its pressure
or weight is least

SMOKELESS POWDER DANGER
Navy Department Precautions Against
Spontaneous Combustion.

Based upon the first reports of the
terrible naval disaster ia Toulon har-
bor, the experts of the.navy department
at Washington were disposed to be-
lieve that the explosion on the Liberte
resulted from the spontaneous ignition
of some of the smokeless powder,
which had deteriorated from having
been kept too long without inspection.
1t is to guard against just such acci.
dents that United States naval regu-
lations require a careful examination
of the powder in the magazines of
warships at comparatively short in
tervals of time. This examination in
wolves a chemical test calculated to
demonstrate absolutely the safety of
the powder. The result of the appli-
cation of this rule has been extremely
beneficial not only in preventing spon-
taneous combustion in the first place,
but in suggesting to the powder max
ers changes in the process Of manufac-
ture which tend toward safety.
The best American practice also pro-
vides for the refrigeration Of the maga-
zine by the adoption of a cold storage
system. 1t is not known whether or
not the French navy has adopted this
additional precaution.

UNITED STATES LAND
LOTTERY IS OPEN.
466,562 Acres In South Dakota to tlo
as Homestesds.

Uncle Sans big land lottery is on in
| South Dakota, and 466,562 acres of
land in the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
reservations are offered as prizes to
land seekers. Gregory, Dallas. Cham
berlain and Rapid City are the regis
tration points. On Oct. "a the drawing
will commence at Gregory.
The price Of every 100 acre tract has
already been fixed by government ap-
praisers and the homesteader will pay
the price so fixed regardless of wheth-
er he files first or last. And so wheth-
er the homesteader files upon some of
the best land or some of the poorest
he will be certain that he will be re.
quired to pay only what the land is
worth and will not run the risk of
making an error in judgment on the
misrepresentation of a locator and
paying high price for poor land.
The prices fixed by the appraisers are
from 25 cents an acre for the toughest
grazing land to So an acre for the
finest level agricultural land. OF the
total of about 100000 acres subject to
homestead entry about one-third has
been classified as agricultural land at
from So to Sc an acre.
Briefly the method of securing
homestead under this opening will be
as follows:
The applicant will personally appear
at registration point and will swear
before notary public on duty at the
notarial headquarters to his qualifica-
tions to take homestead. If the ap.
plication is made at any registration
point other than Gregory the applicant
must mail his affidavit to Judge Wit
ten at Gregory.
When Judge Witten receives one of
these envelopes he will examine it
carefully, and If there are no distin-
gushing marks upon it to indicate
from whom it came, it will be deposit
ed with others in a large metal can
The registration will end Oct. 81.
On Oct. "a all of the metal cans will
be opened and their contents dumped
on large public platform in Gregory.
Some child will be selected to 20 upon
the platform and pick up an envelope.
1t will be opened by Judge Witten,
and the application therein contained
will be numbered "One" The person
who filed it will have the privilege Of
making the first selection from all the
lands subject to entry and may choose
for his homestead the finest level
farming land at So. an acre or the
toughest grazing land at 25 cents an
acre.
The second envelope selected from
those on the platform will be number
ed "Two," etc. After the DRAWING
those who receive numbers will have
ample time in which to inspect the
lands and select the tracts upon which
they wish to file
