The advancement and development
of North Dakota of late years is not
shown in any way more pronouncedly
than by the rapidly succeeding con
solidation of its United States land
offices. With the settling up OF the
eastern and northern parts of the state
the land offices at Grand Forks, Fargo
and Devils Lake have each in turn been
abandoned. The four remaining, Mlnot,
Williston, Bismarck and Dickinson, all
being located in the extreme western
part of the state.

PATH OF THE SUN.
Its Relation to the Equinoxes and the
SoIstices.

Its Relation to the E%quinoxes and tho
SoIstices.
The suns path is called the ecliptic.
1t is n great circle Of the celestial
sphere, cutting the celestial equator at
two points $50 degrees apart and max
ing with it an angle Of 23h degrees
known as the obliquity of the ecliptic.
The crossing points are called the equi-
noxes. because the days and nights are
then equal, and the points midway be-
tween the equinoxes are the solstices.
because the sun then seems to stand
still for a few days.
The ecliptic is so called because
eclipses occur only when the moon is
crossing it or is near it, for the moons
orbit cuts the ecliptic in two points,
called nodes or knots. and at other
times is above or below it. If the
when in either node. is in line
with the sun and the earth we have
an eclipse. either total or annular. II
she is near her node we have a partial
eclipse.
The moons nodes are not stationary,
but move backward on the moons
orbit, completing Il revolution in about
nineteen years. when the eclipses Of
the period recur in the same order and
at about the same intervals as before.
This period Of eighteen years and elev-
en- days is called the saros. 1t was
known to the Chaldeans and the
Greeks and gave them their data for
computing eclipses.
Any intelligent person can trace the
suns path in the heavens. If the sun
rises exactly in the east and sets in
the west it is the time of the equi-
noxes. If the sunrise and sunset
points are farthest north and the sun
at monday is highest in the heavens
it is the time of the summer solstice.
If the sunrise and sunset points are
farthest south and the sun is very low
in the heavens at monday it is the
time Of the winter solstice.-Harper's
Weekly.

MARvELs OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
How Creatures Invisible to the Eye

How Creatures Invisible to the Ego
Arc Shown as Monsters.
Photographing the invisible sounds
like a misnomer, but correct to say in.
visible by the unaided eye. This CON-
pick and valuable science is revealing
wonders in the excessively minute,
and myriad objects. animate and IMAM
innate, are brought to view whose ex-
fstence has all along been unknown.
Two methods of Illuminating the OBJ
jects are in use-strong light is pass
ed through very thin layers Of the SUBJ
surface Of thick masses and also from
the external portions OF exceedingly
small opaque bodies.
These solid particles can be placed
on glass slides or floated in transpar-
n liquids. as a drop Of water be-
tween two very thin glasses. Pinch
the glasses close together; there is no
danger Of killing the smaller kinds of
animals, such as bacteria and microbes.
They have plenty of room in a film Of
water so thin as to be beyond imagi-
| nation.
The magnifying lenses for expan-
sion of images Of these minute objects
require the most consummate skill in
manufacture. the microcamera like
wise. and the two combined are tri-
umphs Of human genius. The finished
products. the perfected pictures. are
highly educational. Many different
kinds Of greatly improved glass are
these have almost revolutionized mi
croscopy. And the wonders accom-
plished by using the most sensitive
plates ever made. and these with many
different kinds Of waves of light. are
almost beyond comprehension.
The Arabian Nights" people are
eclipsed. Thus put a drop Of stagnant
water on glass. lay a thin plate upon
it, press down, and the layer of water
will be thin indeed. Put it under the
microscope, turn bright light through
the layer. pass this light into the very
small camera and let it fall on a pre-
pared moving film: then the amazing
effect of animals in motion is to he
fixed on u film that is itself in motion.
This film, a long strip, is then placed
on rollers and unwound, SO that it will
pass powerful projecting lenses in a
moving picture outfit.
This is. indeed. photographing the
unknown. Since man appeared on
earth no such aid to refined research
into natures labyrinths has been dis
covered. Then a large audience can
see all that there is in a minute drop
Of water on a screen from ten to six
teen feet in diameter. Totally invisi-
Bile creatures become monsters and
move with great rapidity before the
eyes Of the people. Thousands of new
species Of minute living organisms are
rescued from realms Of the unknown.

TWO SUIT CASES OF BOOZE
Transient Boot Logger Caught With
the Goods at Hannah

William Barker, a transient booze
vendor was ensnared IN the meshes OF
Of the law by the authorities at Hannah
On the morning OF the Fourth of July
and "railroaded' to the county Jail, ar
irving here in Langdon on the noon pas
senger along with his two suit cases
filled with booze under the escort of a
deputy sheriff. He was gathered In by
the police at the Hannah celebration
early in the forenoon before he had a
chance to dispose of much if any of his
stock in trade. The Hannah celebration
its promoters had determined was to be
an orderly and law abiding affair with
plenty of sports and a~musements, but
no violators of the law to create disturb
ances and starts fights were to be toll
Grated. Barker was watched from the
moment he first struck the town on
Thursday and nabbed with the goods on
him the first suspicious move he made.
Under the law as recently amended,
bootlegging now is punishable with a
term in the penitentlary, instead of a
county Jail sentence as heretofore.
Barker was taken before Judge AID
rich yesterday morning and as no evil
dence was offered showing that he had
sold any of his stock in trade he was only
held upon a yagrancy charge and given
a sentence Of twenty days in the county
Jail in default OF a $40 fine. The two
suit cases of booze found in Barker's
possession were ordered destroyed by
Sheriff Jerry Kelland.

NEXT COMES THE COUNTY FAIR

Now that the Langdon market days
have Deer successfully held and the cir
Gus has come and gone the n event
that now holds the attention of the PEG.
pie is the Cavalier county fair, to be
held in Langdon on August 9Th, 9th and
7th. This will be our fifth annual
county fair and the history of these
each succeeding year is spelled with the
word success in a larger sized type each
year. They have grown steadily in the
size of the exhibit in the various divi-
sions of horses, live stock and farm pro.
ducts, and there have been new things
to see and learn at the fair each year of
an educational value to the visitor.
The Cavalier county fair association
was organized and held Its first fall fair
in 1903. 1t has three hundred of the
best farmers in the county back of it as
stockholders, upon its board of directors
and as officers of the association. They
have purchased the fair grounds, erected
the required buildings and hold theipro-
perty clear of incumberance in any
shape or form whatsoever. The record
made in the past four years is certainly
one for the association to be proud Of.
This year the fair management is spar
ing neither effort or expense in their at
tempt to make 1918 the banner year Of
the Cavalier county fair association.
Great credit is due the fair managers
for its effort from year to year to keep
the fair free from undesirable attrac-
tions, gambling and blind piggers and
other undesirable characters who would
have infested the grounds and heeced
the crowd of fair visitors if given half a
chance. The character of attractions
for the entertainment of visitors are to
be of a higher class than ever this year
and this part of the two days program,
together with the sports, races and
pennant series of games Of the county
base ball league, will make a strong
drawing card for our fair visitors.
The premium list is being mailed all
over the county this week and the chief
purpose of the fair, the promotion of
agricultural development upon all lines.
Is given a generous encouragement by
the awards offered and should encourage
a display of exhibits of stock and farm
products the largest and best aver seer
in the county.
An interest shown upon the part OF all
our people Is,.what is needed to make the
fair the success it should and deserves
to be. 1t is not intended to be a money
making affair, but is a public enterprise
of immense interest to the towns and
county alike. Loyal support by Jul peo-
pie is the keynote that will spell the
word success for our county fair.

From parties who travelled both east
and west from Langdon to spend the
Fourth of July the DEMOCRAT finds up
on inquiry that the crop condition, re-
lating particularly to early sown grain,
does not warrant the prediction Of better
than a medium average crop IN the fall,
and perhaps less. 1t is claimed that the
injury was done before we received our
June rains which, however have resulted
in grain that was seeded later on being
given a chance to make a better
showing. The crop that was first put
into the ground last spring is we'll adj
vanced into the shot-blade stage, some
of the fields are looking quite thin and
the stand at this writing averaging
from five to six inches in height. Its
condition is due to the hot drying winds
and continued drouth through the
month of May. This grain, and there is
some of it to be found all over the
county, will not exceed twelve inches in
height when it is harvested. Later sown
crops, though at a less advanced stage
promises much better. The June and
July rains making the growth more
even and much healthier looking. 1t all
goes to show that crops sown on spring
blowing require and must have a lot
more moisture throughout the growing
season than when the grain is seeded on
fall blowing or summer fallow. Cava.
lier county's crop, as is always the
case is less advanced toward maturity
than that in counties to the east and
south of us, but in bushels threshed in
the fall will fully measure up to their
best average.
