Salt Lake.

A writer in the Galaxy says +" I'VE
drove for an hour along the southern
bank of Salt Lake, famed by the breath
of it's sea air, and looking over its waste
of waters dotted with mountain islands.
1t required but little Imagination to
transport ourselves to the shores of the
Atlantic, for extending as it does ninety
miles to the north, no land could be
seen beyond the line of the clearly dc.
fined horizon. Some years ago steam
boat of three hundred tons was built
for freight and passenger traffic, in con-
nection with the Union and Central
Pacific roads, but her fair prospects
were ruined by the construction OF the
Utah Central, aud she now lies at the
wharf, her only value being her aid in
making our imaginary ocean seem more
real. How this great basin of salt
water came to be deposited in the inte-
rior of the continent has been study
for geographers and naturaists. The
water is 30 densely saline that it is inn
possible for a body to find the bottom.
1t is capital place to acquire the art
of swimming with perfect safety. In
former times three barrels of water left
to cvaporate would produce one barrel
of salt but the freshening within the
last twenty years has 80 weakened 1T
that now four barrels of it are required
to obtain that quantity. 1t has become
fresh, therefore, in proportion of
somewhat more than one per cent.
yearly. Hence it follows that in less
than one hundred years the name OF
Great Salt Lake should be changed for
by this time it will, like Mormonism,
be cleared of all its impurities. lhave
previously noticed the regular water
lines, called benches, which are 30 dis
tinctly defined on all the mountain
ranges surrounding these various val
leys, and which afford such unmistaka
BILE evidence that in former days they
enclosed vast inland seas. The deep
alkaline soil of the bottoms has led to
the supposition that these seas were of
salt water, and that all of them, except
ing this, have been completely evapor
rated, Salt Lake being the sole survl-
vor, and that being destined to dwindle
to puddle and then to dry up forever.
But tho last part of this theory is mega
tived by tho, evident intention of the
lake to assume somewhat of its original
proportions; while it is becoming
fresher it is growing larger. Within
the twenty seven years that the country
around it has been settled it has en-.
croached all along its low banks nearly
a mile upon the land and deepened five
feet. Several fine farms are now per
manently under water, and the road on
which we travelled has been moved far
inward to accommodate its aggressive
ness. At the same time that this change
is going on atmospheric causes for a
part of it are apparent. The climate is
becoming more mild, although it is still
excessively dry. But each succeeding
season brings greater rainfall. This
has doubled within twelve years"

THE GREAT SHOOTING MATCH.


America Aaont Vic,orious- Bogardm Beats
Shur.
The great match between Captain Il.
W. Bogardus (the American champion)
and S. Shaw of Oldham, near Manches-
ter for two hundred pounds a side,
took place on Monday last. The con
ditions were to shoot at one hundred
pigeons each, with one ounce OF shot,
twenty-one yards rise, from one trap,
the use of one barrel, and the gun be-
low the elbow until the bird was on the
wing. The match, which had been
made only short time previously, ex-
cited much interest. owing to the fact
of its being understood that Captain
Bogardus was to compete with Shaw,
the best professional shot in England,
under the said conditions of from |
trap, OF. of shot, 81 yards rise. Not
wi.hstanding the captain was made the
favorite in the betting at 100 to 50,
speculation was not very spirited, in
consequence of the Manchester divis-
ion not supporting their man with their
usual freedom, knowing they had a
"Wonder to vanquish. Captain Bo-
gardus is a fine, muscular man, stand
ing fully six feet, weight about 10 stone,
and is about forty years OF age. lie IS
a wonderful shot at both game and
pigeons, q great athlete, and providing
his muscular strength is put to the test,
he is almost, or quite equal to the late
John Heenan. The captains opponent,
Shaw, has proved himself wonderfully
fine shot for a considerable length OF
time, by defeating a large number OF
north country sportsmen. He IS a
fresh colored, spare man, with a vast
amount of confidence, and we should
say half a dozen years younger than
the captain. No time was lost in ar.
ranging the preliminaries, and at 1890
A. M, the match commenced, both
men trapping their own birds, the best
blue rocks obtainable. Shaw led off
but failed to bring down his first, a
very fast one, and the captain quickly
came forward and ratified down in fine
style very swift bird. Both through
trapping their own birds against each
other were somewhat slow to time, Dut
they shot in their turn. Out OF the
first ten birds shot at by the American
he brought down nine, the secont
eight, and the third lot all fell to hi
aim. At the fourth ten nine came t.
grief, at the fifth every bird fell. Con
sequently it will be gathered that h

fifty birds. Shaw, it will be seen, wa
never on favorable terms with the cap
tain, for in his first ten he missed thre
birds, and in his second the same mum

retired for thirty minutes for refresh
ment. On resuming business it may be
remarked that Shaw, who had been
very unfortunate, as many OF his
birds in the first so fell dead out of the
bounds, entirely through shooting with
number "nine" shot, now commenced
with number "seven," and by so doing
he made much better score. This
will be understood when it is said that
he killed splendidly 1S out of his first
20 birds after luncheon. The captain,
however, continued humping down his
birds also in grand style, and there be-
ing no chance for Shaw winning at the
S0th round, he being then twelve birds
behind, he gave up, and Captain Bo.
gardus was declared the winner amid
great cheering. The captain, in order
t. decide bet of killing so out if 100
birds, shot at three more, which he
killed, and then retired, after having
brought down 80 ont Of 81, and Shaw
scored 65 out OF 80. The match, which
commenced at 1890 A. NJ, was not
concluded until 4,30 p. M. Captain
Bogardus shot with his famous II bore
breech.loadiug double gun, of course
using one barrel only. He shot with
five drachms of powder, and used No,
shot. Shaw used single gun.
That Captain Bogardus has now
proved himself IN extraordinary marks
man DO man can deny, for the score
alone was never before equaled in Eng
land in fact, the losing mans (Shaw)
score is the largest ever previously
made. When we take into consdera.
ton the swiftness of the birds, they
being the best blue rocks that could be
obtained for the time of year, and the
fact of the captain being made to load
every cartridge himself with shot singly
before he placed it in his gun, and also
trapping the whole of his birds, that is
to say, those for Shaw to shoot at, the
performance must be deemed surpris,

ONE of the odd industries, the nature
and extent of which are comparatively
little known, is the manufacture Of sand
paper, the amount of which annaully
produced in the United States is esti-
mated at not less than two hundred
thousand reams, including the various
grades and qualities. Formerly it was
made of ordinary brown paper, glue
aud sand. At present, for the most
part, the paper is made of old rope, the
best quality Of glue is used, and, in
stead of sand, pulverized quartz or flint.
By this means superior fabric is pro-
duded, of constantly uniform grade,
and at 80 low price that the use of it
has become greatly extended, large
quantities being exported, to Europe,
