How Brought "to Pass.
Never before has any country offered
land for homesteading that is located near
alreadv settled and populous district.
That this will be done, in Canada is not
a chance accident, but the result, of Can
ada's beneficent land administration. As
In the United States, the whole of W est
em Canada is divided into "townships
Stx miles square. Kach township Is sub
divided Into 36 blocks of land, one mile
(Touare. technically known as a "section.
,'A section is further divided into four
vtuarter sections, each 160 acres. There
J!ire. therefore. 3 sections in a township.
und these are numbered 1 to 36.
;i;in every township the quarter sections
and 26 are the property of the Hud
!lson's Bay Company, which is thus sig-
tnlfk-antly dotted all over Western Lanr
Jada and reminds one of the fact that the
"Entire terrltorv was once owned by the
Wporation. These sections were ceded
J )y the Canadian Government to the Hud-
w.n's Bav Company when the latter sur
rendered Its title to Western Canada.
.With th exception of Its sections, all
jfcven-numbered quarter sections were
. thrown open for homesteading by the Ca
nadian land act of 1872. The act set apart
! quarter sections 11 and 29 for selling
JVy public auction at the ripe moment in
tirrder to form the nucleus of a fund with
the proceeds of which to establish com
- Jlnon and high schools. The remaining
inld-numbered quarter, sections were held
' Jn trust by the government to bestow
J grants on railroad companies and for fu-
ture homesteading entries. Since 1ST2
Jwld-numbered sections aggregating in
t nrea nearly 32.000.000 acres have been
' iven to the railroad companies and even
J numbered sections of a like amount to
homesteaders. The remaining 28.000. 000
tii:res next month are to be thrown open
to the public under the new Canadian
'Jnd act.
.. Mill Cause a Rush.
t -
'. 'Taken as a whole, the act of the Cana-
tiu.ln Government is expected to induce
J pew immigrants to Western Canada on
,nn unprecedented scale. The land for
jiurchase and free homestead entry Is un
excelled in fertility. It Is all situated in
' the Canadian Northwest, whose grain
J crops have Increased from about 30.000,000
tjshels m 1S01 to 120.000.000 bushels In
JJjfS. and with certainty promise to yield
at no remote day at least four or five
J times this year's output.
',) Homestead ins Under New I-aw.
I' Under the Dominion act of 1S72 the re
quirements for homesteading entry were
fix months" residence in each of three
! years, the building of a habitable house
land farm buildings and the cultivation of
J acres within three years and the nat
uralization of . the homesteaders before
the issuance -of letters patent. The new
llaw names the same conditions for home
" stead entry, with this exception, that no
Itpeclflcation is made as to the acreage
t which must be put uuuer cultivation. The
tct empowers the Minister of the Interior
t pass upon the cultivated area, since
J some farms may present greater diffi
teulty In clearing of brush or stone than
j ethers, and these contingencies will be
i taken into consideration at the explra
Itton of three years. Furthermore, the act
I interprets the residence of the home
ilteader In the house of a relative living
jjrlthln nine miles of the homestead as
ttsldence upon the farm", and fixes the
trm of forfeiture of the right to the
Itcmestead at five years for failure to ap-f-ly
for letters patent. 4
,;.OnIy those people who fulfilled their ob
ligations as iTomesteaders and obtained
Jjfteir letters patent before the 2d of June.
Us9, are entitled to make entry for a
Second homestead. However, the act
S makes a provision enabling any and
very homesteader to purchase a second
Jfcbmestead for J3 an acre. One-third of
this sum is payable at the time 0 entry
Ispd the balance In two equal Installments
with S per cent Interest.
AIR NAVY IS NOW ASSURED
' (Continued From First Page.)
lnon why military cruisers of the future
hould not have a radius of movement-of-
three or four thousand miles. Of
course the greater the speed alined at
the greater the quantity of fuel that
must be carried for a given distance. A
ship like the America carries three tons
of gasoline in her steel tank, and if
the influence of- the winds be regarded
as neutral she could motor 130 hours
at about 20 English miles per hour.
The Zeppelin and most of the foreign
airships have been designed - for high
speed, about 30 miles per hour, while a
more economical rate of speed was
deemed an advantage in the ship de
signed to cross the polar ocean and
reach the North Pole. TOO miles from the
starting point.
Count Zeppelin's remarkable cruise of
Monday. Is only a foretaste o what Is
to be done with motor balloons In the
near future. Within a few years 1 ex
pect to see the Atlantic Ocean crossed
by an airship of the Republlque or
America type. . In fact, the America
could now cross the Atlantic without
much risk or accident with a little help
from the winds. A voyage from New
York to Chicago, or vice versa, is within
her scope, and I am strongly tempted
to bring her over from Paris this Fall
and give Americans a demonstration of
what a first-class engineering construc
tion can do In the way of a long voy
age through the air.
In view of the success of Zeppelin, of
Lebaudy, of La Republique and the un
doubted ability of America to make a
longer voyage than Count Zeppelin has
Just made, many experts regret that the
first venture of the .United States Gov
ernment In military motor ballooning
phould be with such a small affair as
that of Captain Baldwin. It has not
class. It Is too small. It has no en
durance. Captain Baldwin is a skill
ful man, but his machine is not large
and powerful enough to give him a
chance against a great cruiser like Zep
pelin. When the United States Govern
ment enters the aeronautic neia it so
not be content to begin where foreign
experiments ended years ago. but should
be up to date in size and engineering.
' '
In the other branch of aerial naviga
tion, that of purely mechanical flight
without balloons or gas. promising ex
periments .are being made. Mr. Far
man's short skimming flights at Brigh
ton Beach, and the longer flights he and
others have made In' America and
abroad, suggest the probability that- in
a few years great things will be done
in that line. I believe that within five
vears we shall see a heavlcr-thanrair
machine cruising hundreds of miles. It
requires only larger and more perfect
machines, more powerful motors, greater
fuel carrying power and the working
out of certain problems of balance and
control.- The mechanical flight machine
promises much for the future. But the
motor balloon airship is already here.
Its employment for military- purposes,
for crossing the Atlantic, or exploring
the regions of the pole is now only a
question of adaptation of means to the
particular end In view. - .

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 9. Special
dispatches acceived here from Teheran
give a tragic-comic description of the
position of the Shah of Persia, who is
virtually a prisoner in the hands of wild
tribesmen summoned to Teheran to pro
tect the throne against the revolution
ists, but who have become a greater
menace to the monarch than his other
foes. : '
The tribesmen are extravagant In .their
demands for money, which the Shah Is
unable to grant, and they threaten to
destroy the palac and pillage Teheran.
The fciSO.OOO- secured from the Russian
bank recently as a loan on the crown
Jewels of Persia already Is exhausted.
General Liakhoff's Cossacks are unable
to make any headway against the tribes
men, who have refused to permit the
Shah to leave the camp at Bade Shakh
for Saltana Bad, where the harem is;
now staying.
Famine is reported to be imminent in
Southern Persia, and this promises to
bring about a crisis in political affairs
in the Autumn.
A dispatch received today from Tabria
says that severe fighting, in which the
recently arrived constabulary of the Shah
participated, continued Saturday, and
that the revolutionists sustained heavy
losses- In men and some guns.

Accident Off Lightship at Entrance

Seeks Rigging.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. (Special.)
Another mishap was added to the recent
misfortunes which have beset the Kosmos
Steamship line when their big steamer
Radames, putting to sea Saturday night,
ran down the staunch little pilot boat
'Lady Mine, in the blackness off the light
ship, damaging the pilot boat to the ex
tent of $2000.
Leaping Into the rigging of the pilot
boat and clinging to the shrouds, the crew
of the -Lady Mine waited to be gobbled
up by the yawning sea, for after the
crash, which hurled the vessel out of the
water, she careened over on her beam
ends, the tips of the masts almost touch
ing the leaping waves. "
The Radames, following the collision,
stood by and attached hawsers to the
pilot boat while repairs were being made
to the hole on the afterport side, which
extended from the rail to the waterllne
and then continued on her way into the
ocean. The Lady Mine, her rigging tat
tered, limped back into port this mornlpg.
The accident occurrea as the schooner
was preparing to take a pilot off the
freighter, and according to the stories of
the crew of the Lady Mine the fault for
the collision lay with the big steamer. ,
