ADMITTED At FAIR

On account of the prevalence
OF foot and mouth disease in some
outside states, the state fair board
last March passed a resolution
confining the showing Of cattle,
hogs and sheep to South Dakota
bred stuff.
More recently, on account of pres
sure brOugh upon the board to let
down the bars on outside livestock
letter was sent to every pros
rective exhibitor asking his opin-
ion. The replies were unanimous
for sticking to the March resolution
and thereby protecting South Da-
kota livestock.
Therefore only South Dakota
cattle, sheep. and swine will be ex-
hibited at the coming state fair.
Every breeder of the state should
make special effort to take full
exhibits. All premiums will go to
South Dakota breeders. Accord :

GOlVa Lot Sale
Totals $18,000.00

The TOWNSHIP sale at Gelva, the
new place IL miles south of Beach,
on the 9th totaled $4,000, and is
very gratifying to all parties inter-
ested in this new place on the North
ern Pacific branch south. Farmers
bought freely, showing their con
tinued faith in the country in which
they have been so prospered during
the past eight or ten years.
On the morning following the sale
a solid trainload of lumber left Beach
for Golva over the new branch to be
used in the construction of buildings
which r to be erected at once. Steel
is already laid to this place and by
the goth the iron will likely be laid
into Ollie, the terminal of the 2e-
mile branch south of Beach.
1t was estimated that $500 people
attended the Golva sale, which, by
the way, is about $1,000 greater than
the New England townsite sale held
some sever OF eight years ago.
Senator A. L. Martin, who has
charge of the Northern Pacifc's
townsites south of Beach, was highly
pleased with Mondays sale. He Ger
tainly managed it well. Prices, as
previousl- announced, were advanced
20 per cent the morning after the
sale.
On Wednesday the sale at Ollie,
just I've the Montana line, took
place. It was not expected that this
sale would be quite as large as the
Golva sale, although it is the terminal
and a very promising town.

SHADOW PICTURES.
The Silhouette as tho Origin Of All
Pictorial Art,

The Silhouette as tho Origin Of All
Pictorial Art.
In the year 1859. when Etienne de
Silhouette was minister Of finance un-
der Louis XIV, a man whose name has
not been preserved started in Paris an
exhibition that he called Chinese
shadows. This consisted in throwing
upon a sheet the black outlines of men
or objects and making these shadows
take part in a play. 1t 80 happened
that at this time Silhouette was unpop-
ular. He had spent many years in
England and had returned to his ma
tive country greatly impressed with
English methods of public economy.
Undertaking to apply these principles
to French finances, he met with decid.
ed disapproval by the Parisians. But
little thanks did he get except to have
his efforts branded as parsimonious.
Some one recalled that M. de Sill
houette had written a book. "A Gen
eral Idea Fer the Government Of the
Chinese" in which he exploited his
economical theories. The popularity
of the Chinese shadows was RESPONSE
BILE for the jibe that Silhouette had is
sued the book as an advance notice for
the show; hence the shadows were
called silhOuettes, and the name was
naturally extended to portraits that
were then coming into vogue, in which
were presented only the outlines Of
faces and figures filed in with black.
Though the fashion and the name of
the silhouette are Of comparatively re-
cent origin. the art itself is ancient. 1t
was used by Etruscan potters eight
centuries before Christ, and a classic
legend, which has been illustrated by
Benjamin West in a famous picture
called 1.-The Origin of Painting" claim
ed that all pictorial art originated in
an attempt to paint the aeeting shad-

upon a wall or a blank space.-Detroit

SOLAR ENERGY.

lie Constant Radiation 10 Lessenins
the Mass Of Our SUN.
The work Of Einstein on the principle
Of relatively shows that a body which
radiates energy loses a portion Of its
mass depending on the energy radiat-
ed. It follows that the sun, which
continually radiates energy, is con-
stantly losing mass. M. j. Bosler has
calculated that the sun loses a mass
equal to that Of our earth in 100000
years.
If it be assumed that the mass thus
lost is gr%avitational mass it follows
that the length Of the year increases
by six seconds in 100000 years and
that in the same time the mean longi-
tude Of the earth is affected in such a
way as to produce a variation Of one
tenth Of a year-that is, a retardation
Of thirty-six days in the seasons.
Such variations are too minute to
be observable. In stellar systems pos
sessing a higher temperature the ef-
feet would be much more marked, for
the energy radiated by a body varies
as the fourth power Of its absolute
temperature.
If, as M. Nordmann believes, there
exist stars having a temperature six
or seven times that Of III sun their
radiation is one or two thousand times
as intense. Thus, if the temperature
Of Algol is 1880 degrees, it is calcu-
lated that at the end of 1000 years the
eclipses of Algol suffer a ~retardation
Of about twelve minutes.-Boston Her.

award the American interested an

therefore, be no foundation for claim
