MUCH LAND IS YET VACANT.
Uncle Sam Has Still Broad Acres to
GiVd Away.
The material development of
the country is ( luietly progressing ,
at a remarkable rate in one direc-
tion which is not given much pop
ular attention , says the Chicago
Chl'oniclp.J ore than 22,824,2nn
acres of' public lands were turned
over to private individuals last
. Year. . This means that an area almost -
most equal to that of the state of
Indiana has within that time been
added to the productive regions
of the United Stntes. Most of
these newly opened _ lands were
homesteaded by ; farmers as will
he seen from the foIlowingfigures :
There were 54ati5 ( patents of all
classes issued within the yeal' :
Of this number , 47G54 are classed
ns agricultural , 4)04 ! ) ns Indian
allotments , 1,10-1 as mineral pat
pnts , 200 as coal patents , 27G as
private land claims , 187 as railroad -
road patents and 40 ns swamp
land patents. The total Bum which
the government got bJ' way of fees
and commissions for issuing these
patents was $11,024,744. Under a
recent law the most of the receipts -
ceipts from the sale of public lands
will henceforth be set aside for reclaiming
claiming arid lands by irrigation
In the public domain there are
still unappropriated 380,979,307
acres of surveyed lands and 591 , -

acres. A great many ; tracts in thi
immense area , of course , will always -
ways remain uncultivated Hud unsettled -
settled , but it hns been estimated
that when the contemplated ] system ,
tem of irrigation shall be put into
working order so mtH'h good land
win be opened that n population
nR large aR the whole nation's
present population could find room
there to thrive prosperously ; and
contentedly. ,
Rapid strides are now being
made in the developing the puh--
lie domain. The excitement and
uproar of former pioneer days are
absent in this work , but the process .
ess is marked and very eirective.
The passenger traffic on western
railroads is evidence ( of this fart.
Agreeable reflections arise in con
1emplatin that the United States
still owns so much arable public
land. The dangers of an over.
crowded : population by immigra-
lion 01' natural increase are still
remote. The census for many
years ; yet to rome will not show an
excess of people above what the
west win need in settling up its
vacant lands

A MOUSE POWER MILL.
Two Tiny Animals Set to Work Mak-
ing Sewing Thread.
"The Scotsman" hUB dug up an
old pamphlet in which is given an
account , by once David Hutton , of
his investigation and practical
employment } of mouse power. The
following is extracted from Hat-
ton's Narrative :
"In the summer of the year 1812
I hud occasion to be in Perth , and ,
when inspecting the toys and
trinkets that were manufactured
hJ' the French prisoners in the
depot ] therG , my attention was in ,
voluntarily attracted by a little
toy house with It wheel in the
gable of it that was running rap.
idly round , impelled by the insignificant -
nificant gravity of a common
house mouse. For a few shillings
1 purchased house , mouse and
wheel. Inclosing it in It handker
chief , on mJ' journey homeward I
was compelled to contemplate its
favorite umusement. But how to
apply half ounce power , which is
the weight of a mouse , to a useful
purpose was a dimculty. At
length the manufacturing of sew-
ing thread seemed the most prac-
tica ble. "
Mr. Hatton had one mouse that
run the amazing distance of 18
miles a day , but he proved that an
ordinary mouse could run 10th
miles on an average. A halfpen-
ny's worth of oatmeal was sum.
dent for its support for 35 days ,
during which it ran 73G miles. He
had actually two mice constantly
employed in the making of sewing
thread for more than a year. The
mouse thread mill was so con
struced that the common mouse
was enabled to make atonement
to society for past offenses by
twisting , twining and reeling from
100 to 120 threads a day , Sundays
not excepted.
A haJfpenny's worth of oatmeal
served one of these thread min
ullH'it8 for the long period of five
weeks. In that time it made 3,350
threads of 25 inches , and aB a pen-
nJ waR paid to' omen for every
hank made in the ordinary way ,
the lllOtHW , at that rate , earned
seven shillings and sixpence a
' ( lUl' . Take sixpence off for board
and allowing one shilling for machinery .
chinery , there was a clear yearly
profit from each mouse of six shB-
lings. MI' Ilattan firmly intended -
ed to apply for the loan of the old
empty cathedral in Dunfermline ,
which would have held , he calculated -
Jated , 10,000 mouse mills , s1 fl- '
dent room being left for keepers
and some hundreds of specta tors. I
Death , however , overtook the inventor - :
ventor before his marvelous pro' ;
ject could be carried out. j
