CHANGES IN LAND LAWS.
Tho House Committeo on Pub
lic Lands have agreed upon a
bill with reference to the Public
Lands of every class. In it are
embraced some important and
good changes from the laws now
in force. Among these is a pro
vision as to timbir lands, which
restricts any person, company or
corporation to the purchase of no
mere than the timber on four
sections of land, the mininum
price of which shall lie $10 per
acre.- Another clause provides
that pieces of land less than 1(50
acres may be sold at private sale
for not less than $7.00 per acre.
IMineral and reserved lands are
exempted from classification as
desert lands. The price of desert
lands to be twenty-five cents an
acre, and the time of occupation
and irrigation is reduced from five
years to three years, with privil
ege to mortgage one-half the tract
to enable the settler to make im
provements thereon: the mortgage
to go to the reserved rights of the
Government. The bill also pro
vides that a strip two rods wide
on each side of section lines on
public lands shall be opened as
a Hiblie highway, by the proper
authorities. upon petition to them
signed bv ten householders in the
countv.
An ancient dapancse coat of

a complete piece of chain armor, !
eoHJxsed of thousands of links
of diminutive iron rings the
diameter of a common pencil.
hen worn the coat covered
the breast, hack and the right
side, leaving the left side, where
ii was fastened, to he protected
ly the shield. The right sleeve
extended to the elbow. From
the neck to the end of the skirt
the length is twenty and one
half inches. In the side of the
eoftt, below the arm, is a ga.-h
two inches long resembHiio- a
cut from a heavy weapon, which
1ms been retired by whatap-
)cars to be a piece of native si!-
ver. 'J'he armor was made by i
the .Japanese two or three bund- i
red years ago. It is impossible i
to explain how this interesting i
object came here, but there arc i
other evidences of etirly Japan- ;
ese occupancy in the surround-i
