SALT LAKE, UTAH, July

SALT LAKE, UTAH, July o.
On the Fourth, at Silver Lake, near the
head of Big Cottonwood Canyon, this coun.
ty, three men-Robert Ritter, William DIer
and Amos Shopton-were out on the water
in boat. Shopton could not swim. Rit-
ter and DER could; so they thought they
would have some fun by upsetting the boat
and soaring Shopton. They upset, and all
chung to the boat; but, to make the joke
more realistic, the two swimmers started to
swim to the shore, where, however, the
Joke gave out, for both became exhausted
on getting q short distance, and, on turning
to swim back to the boat, they were taken
with cramps and drowned. Both bodies
wore recovered.

Transplanting Trees.

Transplanting, as a rule, is best done
in the spring. If the tree is removed
quickly to its new home, and is there
well planted, the roots not crowded, but
well spread, shortened when necessary,
and thoroughly well distributed in the
fresh soil, and the soil is closely packed
about the roots and kept properly moist
ened and protected by a sufficient
mulch, it may be transplanted at almost
any time, excepting when in full leaf
Then the evaporation from the leaves is
so active that the supply from every
root is needed, and as some roots must
be lost in the removal the remainder
can not supply the demands of the
foliage. But none but an expert should
try to remove a tree after its foliage has
become perfect; others had better be
safe by doing the work early in the
spring, before the leaves start.
Mulching newly transplanted trees is
of great Importance. In planting the
tree the soil should be well packed
among the roots by hand, leaving no
hollow under the bottom, nor any spaces
near the stem. The soil is then settled
by pouring pail or two of water into
the hole before it is quite full. The hole
is then filled and the soil at once coy
cred with a mulch to keep it moist.
Where stones are to be procured there
Is nothing better; they hold the soil
support the tree by their
weight, and they are cool and preserve
the moisture from evaporation, and even
add to it by their cOndensing effect, Us
they cool rapidly at night and collect

People seem to have broken out on
the hOllOw-horn question, and it bids
fair to engage the attention of the pub
lie until some one opens the chess and
wheat question by affirming that he
knows wheat will produce chess. We

mended for the ailment, from rubbing

sharp vinegar and black pepper into the

and not because there is any local dis

practice to bore into the horn at such
times. The apparent demonstration of
hOllOwness by such means is wholly

manner, forming a cavity within the
horn. Now if the horn is bored in
a lateral direction, the gimlet will enter
that cavity, and the animal is pro-

The Peril Of Travellers.

A man who lately held the position of
night telegraph operator at one of the
stations on a New England railroad has
related to a reporter Of the New Haven
Union personal experience which
serves to illustrate the chances of dis
aSter to which travellers are constantly
exposed. He was the only man in the
depot at night and his hours were from
1880 p. m. to $3.50 a. m. One night he
dropped asleep at his instrument and
the next thing he knew he awoke to
hear the rumble of an approaching
train, and his tclegraphic call vigor-
ously sounded on the receiver before
him To his diSmay he perceived that
his right hand and arm were asleep, as
the common expression is, and totally
useless, and it was only with great diff
ficulty that he could give an Ineligible
response to the signal with his left hand
and scrawl q brief memorandum of the
instructions which followed. However
he did succeed in stopping the APP
preaching train and giving the impor-
tant orders which he had Just received.
