SOUND WAVES.
They Are NoiseIess Until They Reach
 the Auditory Nerves.

All sound Is noiseless. Deaf mutes live in a soundless world, be- cause they have not the mechanical apparatus to register sound waves on the brain. Sound is only the vi bration of the air, and these air waves are soundless in themselves.
 Sound travelling through the air may be hkened to a set of moving spheres all centered at the source of the sound. Of course these spheres are distorted more or less by va rious objects. When they strike the normal ear they are transmitted to the auditory nerve by the eardrum and series of small bones and we ''hear," or rather read" the vibra- tion.
 Sound waves travel very slowly through the air, moving along at the rate of only 1,O9O feet a sec ond. They travel best through light and dry air, such as a cold winter morning. As light travels so much faster than sound (186,000 miles a second), one often sees a woodchop- per raise his ax to his shoulder be- fore the sound of the previous blow reaches the ears.
 Sound may be reflected, the same as light. Echoes are produced in this way. The megaphone is de- vice to give direction to sound waves. When sound waves reach the ear at irregular intervals we call them "noise." When they ar rive in regular order it is known as music"
 The human ear recognizes as sound any number of vibrations from sixteen to twenty per second to about 3S.0OO a second. Animals have keener ears, and some can de- tect as low as six vibrations a sec ond. By this same rule all sounds exceeding 3S,OOO vibrations, and there are many, we cannot hear. High A of the tenor voice gives about 427 vibrations a second. The intensity of sound depends upon the violence of the waves beating upon the ear. Vibrations from cannon discharges are very slow, yet they crash against the ear with consider able force, producing a great vol tune of noise.
 The telephone, as we know 1t, does not transmit sound It would take sound waves one hour and. eighteen minutes to travel between New York and Chicago, but as the sound waves are changed into cleo trical waves for transportation they travel with the same speed as light -186,00O miles a second. The speaking tube actually transmits sound waves.-New York Press.

GoUDEAU'S SHEEP.
It Matched His Dog and Satisfied the
 Tax Collector.

Emile Goudeau, a celebrated character of Paris, was one of the most confirmed bohemians that ever lived.
 There is a story of him and a cer- tain black spaniel which followed him with the faithfulness with which the historic little lamb at tached itself to the historic little Mary. Goudeau and the dog, in fact, were never separated.
 It dawned upon the tax gatherer of the neighborhood that Goudeau had not paid his dues for the ''infe- Gior brother"
 He approached him, therefore, in us friendly a spirit as possible. be- ing, indeed, an old acquaintance, and said, ''M. Goudeau, I must ask you to pay your tax for the span iel."
 The bohemian was immensely surprised, or affected to be. "But don't you know, my dear sir," he said in a tone of remonstrance, ''this is a sheep dog, useful to me in my work and consequently exempt from the tax?"
 'FBut you are no shepherd" re- turned the tax gatherer; "you are a poet"
 'fNo shepherdl' replied Goudeau. Every poet is a shepherd. Have you not heard of Vergil and Theoc- ritus"-
 The poet would have recited twenty other names if the tax gath erer, alarmed at such a display of learning, had not stopped him. 'But at least you nave no sheep" he said
 'No; I admit that" said Gou deau. '1t is because I am too poor. But I will rectify that"
 And he did. Next day he was ob- served promenading the streets of Montmartre with the same old black spaniel, but with a newcomer in the shape of a real, live, woolly sheep London Sketch.

INFORMATION OF IN
 TERST TO APPLICANTS

the survey of pubic landS that Congress annually appropriates the sum of $4OO, 000.00 for the survey and resurvey of the pub lie lands of the United States,
 which sum is apportioned among thirteen western states and ter ritories according to the require ments of these respective dis tricts:
 Under existing law, the ex- penditures of the annual appro priation for public surveys is re- stricted. First, to lands occu- pied in whole or in part by ac- tual settlers on the public do- main, and, second, to lands adapted to agriculture. It will therefore be seen that the appli- cation of actual BONA EIDE set tiers will be given preference in the matter of authorizing the surveys of townships, payable from this regular annual appro- priation, and that applications by persons not actually residing on their claims, such as desert iand claimants, for the survey of public lands including their claims, will receive consideration only after the demands of actual settlers on other lands have been recognized, and provided the fund annually apportioned for each district has not been ex- hausted.
 I'm making application for the survey of public lands, the ap- plicant should carefully deter mine, as near as practicable, the approximate section, township and range in which his claim is located, and he should describe in detail all improvements which he has made on his claim.
 In arder to secure the survey of a full township and the quick est possible action by this office in awarding a contract, it would be advisable for the applicant to have two or more other settlers who are living within the same township make similar applica- tions for survey, the government preferring to survey all the ag- ricultural and grazing land in a township under one contract. However, the application of one bona fide resident in township, where there are no other settlers, will be sufficient to secure the survey of twelve sections of that township; and the applications of two such resident settlers will secure the survey of twenty-four sections, in order to include their claims.
 Public land surveys, payable from the regular annual appro- priation. are made without cost to the settler, the government | paying all expenses in connec- ton herewith.
 All applications for the survey of public lands are examined in the field by an agent of the gov ernment, appointed for that pur- pose, in order to determine the good faith, actual residence, etc., of the applicant. If such field examination develops the fact that the settlers claim is not To- cated in the township stated in his application, he should imme- diately file a new application, properly describing the location of his claim thetein. It there fore behooves the applicant to be on the lookout for the special agent and ascertain from him whether his application has been correctly executed.
 Surveys of homestead entries within the limits of National Forests are executed under the jurisdiction of the Suryesor-Gen- eral, at the expense of the claim ant, in accordance with the pro- visions of the Act of Congress naro.ouoI Iu.o II 10Oc

Would Not Sell His Ancestors.

A plutocratic American of the last century who had seen the green acres and stately castle of an Irish estate sought out its impecunious owner with an offer to buy. Lord Blank, eager enough to transmute his proftless lands into pregnant gold, named considerable but reasonable price as one he would be willing to take. ''Very well, said the American; "I'll take that if the pictures go with the house." After little reflection his lordship answered, "Yes, you can have the pictures, except, of course, the fam fly portraits" "It's the portraits 1 want" said the other. 'I wouldn't give a cent for the rest of 'em." ''My property is not for sale under those conditions" said his lordship. turning on his heel and walking away, to the astonishment of the parvenu, who flung a "Stuck up beggar" after the retreating figure

Weather Crop Bulletin

For the week ending Septem-
Der Is, 1912.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The first two days were very
warm but the latter half of the
week was cool, with tempera-
lures near the frost line in the
northern counties on the morn
ing cf the 14rh. More than
the usual amount of cloudiness
prevailed, and showers were
frequent, although the south
eastern part of the state re
ceived very little moisture un
til Saturday night when heavy
rain fell. Corn made very sat
isfactory progress, and the ear
ly planted fields, in the south
ern counties, are now being cut
for silage and fodder. The alb
normally high temperatures
during the first ten days of the
month caused corn to mature
rapidly, and probably fifty pei
cent of the crop is safe from a
moderate frost, but tn. late
fields need two to three weeks
of good warm, dry weather to
put them beyond danger of in
jury of even a heavy frost.
Considerable corn was gather
ed for seed during the week
and most farmers will probably
secure their seed at the earliest
date possible. Threshing has
been delayed by showers, but
pastures, meadows and late po.
tatoes were greatly benefited
by the needed moisture. The
showers have also been OF
great benefit to fall blowing
and seeding, and that work is
being rushed.

The Baribeau BarabOO] Family.
There Were Number of People by That Name
in Canada in the 18th Century

In previous issue of this paper it
was stated that the name Baraboo
probably came from jean Baribeau
pronounced Baraboo) who was
thought to have had trading post on
the Baraboo river about 1900. He was
a Frenchman and new light is thrown
on the name by Miss Louise P. Kel.
logg Sc ding from the State Historical
society at Madison the following &C.
count concerning the Baribeau family
in Tanguay's Genealogical dictionary:
The first of the name in New France
was Francois Baribeau, who was born
in 1924 probably in France altho the
record does not say so) was married in
1869 and died at Ratiscan, leaving a
number of children, who spell the
name in various ways Baribaut, Bari
bault and Raribeau The pronuncia-
ton is the same In every case and
should be given long o, like o in robe) :.
Francoiss sons were Louis, Jean D,
Pierre, and Francois, Junior, some of
whom lived at Batiscan but others at
