SALT LAKE.--A correspondent OF
the Boston daily Adrertiser has had
bath in Salt Lake, and thus writes
about the water:
All travellers have mentioned with
establishment the peculiar buoyancy
OF the water of Great Salt Lake, and
it is truly surprising. Nodanger of
ship-wreck need ever cross the mind
OF those who navigate the lake, for
it would be simply impossible for
them to sink if thrown overheard.
With my hands clasped together
under my head and my feet crossed,
l foated on the surface of the lake
with at least One-third of my body
above the water. Upon a warm
summers day there would not be the
slightest difficulty in going to sleep
upon the lake, and allowing yourself
to be blown about as the wind Der.
mitted only one would need an UNI.
brella to keep of the rays of the sun.
Mr.. Bowlcs has stated that three
buckets of this water will yield one
bucket of solid salt, but inasmuch as
water will not hold above twenty five
per cent. of saline matterin solution,
and If more be added instantly de.
posted upon the bottom, his esti.
mate is, OF course too large. On in.
quiring of the mormOns engaged in
procuring salt, they unanimously
stated that for every five buckets of
water they obtained one bucket of
salt, which gives the proportion as
no less than twenty per cent. No
visitor to the lake should omit the
bath the sensation in the water is
most luxurious, and leads one to
think himself floating in the air. On
the way back to the city, the
batlier should stop ut the superb
sulphur baths just outside the town,
and remove the saline incrustation
which will have formed upon him,
by plunge into the fine swimming
bath, whose only objection is its pe.
culiar odor aud its great heat, which
requires a large admixturc Of cold
water.

MOUNT HOOD.-TwO ascents Of
Mount Hood, in Oregon, have lately
heen made. The summit of the
mountain is a circular ridge three OF
+ ur hundred yards in length, hay
ing its outward curve to the north
There are three or four eminences
rising few feet above the average
of the ridge. At the time one OF
the parties made the ascent the
snow upon the ridge was from six
to ten feet in depth, and only in one
place did a rock project through it.
Prof. A. Wood and another party
assembled in warm weather, when
the heat had made immense chasms
in the snow, which rendered the
journey pcrilOus and difficult. The
grand result was the measurement
of the mountain. Mount Hood
stands unrivalcd among the noun.
tains of North America. BY an
improved method, viz:; the boiling
water and thermometer, they ascer
tanned it's hight to be seventeen
thousand six hundred and forty feet
above the level of the sea. The

lava and ashes. There is crater

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MILLION
The greatest distance from the earth
to the sun is 96,OOO,OOO OF miles,
and the least distance something
over "a, 5000 miles. A saving OF
1900, 900 of miles could be effected
if a railroad should ever connect
the two planets, by taking the least
distance. This would shorten the
time consumed in running and re-
duce the expenses very materially.
ANY railroad man will tell you that.
The mean distance from the earth
to the sun is 5000, 900 miles, which
is no mean distance either, when
you try to walk IL.
The earth moves around the sun
from west to east, consuming 365
days and six hours in every revOlu.
ton, travelling nights and Sundays.
Joshua it will be remembered by
some of our oldest citizens, once
commanded the sun to stand still
and she is standing still. 1t amt
every fool of planet that can get
around the sun. The earth does it,
however. She would get around
most anything.
The earth turns upon its axis,
making one revolution every TWEEN
ty-fOur hours, except in Mexico
there they have "A revolution two or
three times day. The earth and
her axis were thick as peas together
at one time, but one day the earth
got down ON her axis and turned on
It.
1t is the revOlu ton of the earth
that makes night and day, to every
body but printers and editors-it is
all day with them.
After digging certain depth in
to the bowels of the earth the tenn
perature becomes warm, and it grows
warmer as you warm to your work
so that at the depth of thirty miles
las we are informed by gentleman
who dug that distance one July
everything is like molten
iron at white heat. There is good
reason for believing that people who
cheat the printer and who try to
get into shows without paying for
it, are sent thirty miles into the bow
els of the earth when they die.

ANECDOTE BY GOUGH.-A widow
In Oxford, Mas, had AN only child,
Frederick. He was a kind, gener-
GUS hearted boy; but he was insen-
sibly drawn within the circle of the
awful vortex, Intemperance. FRED
erick became a drunkard and vag.
abond. To spare the feelings of her
whom he had most tenderly loved,
and still reverenced he wandered
away, she knew not where. After
an absence of some years, in which
he suffered all the misery of drunk
ard, he was persuaded by some phil
anthropist to sign the temperance
pledge. The next morning he sober
ly considered his condition and
fearing the tremens, his heart yearn-
ed for the sympathy and fostering
care of his piOus mother. He set
ont on foot, journey of forty miles;
and when be arrived at Oxford, was
worn cut with fatigue, his nerves
trembling for want of the accustOm-
ed stimulus.
at this moment his mother, mourn
ing for her son, opened her Bible,
and read of the young man cutting
himself among the tOmbs. She said
1t was her Frederick, and she would
90 up stairs and pray for his deliver
ence and return. AS she was in the
act of taking her bible, he looked
into the window and saw her; but
feeling that he made but sorry ap-
pearance, he thought he would Just
step into the tavern, and brush his
hair and adjust his cravat. AS he
stood trembling before the glass, the
rumseller, recollecting him cordially
shook hands, and offered him some
thing to drink. He declined but
vas persuaded. One glass did not
safisty-he wanted more. Then the
hardhearted rumseller induced him
to bet he could drink a pint without
taking it from his lips. He swal
lowed it, and the next morning was
found dead in the barn! In her ag-
Ony, the mother cursed that rumsel-
Ter for having murdered her son!
