The tables and benches were removed
and in an improvised ring the men
beat and tore each other
with the ferocity of tigers.
The onlookors in the excitement
madly howled and danced about

a weird, blood-curdlmg sight. While
the orgie was at It's height. an oil

the room was in darkness. Men

The Great Salt Lake

-Four barrels of water of the Great
Salt Lake will leave, after evapora-
ton, nearly barrel of salt. The
lake was discovered in the year 1920.
and no outlet from it has vet been
aScertained. -Four or five large
streams empty into it, and the fact OF
its still retaining its saline properties
seems to point to the conclusion, that
there exists some secret bed of saline
deposit over which its waters flow
and that thus they continue salt; for
although, the lake may be but the
residue of an. immense sea which
once covered the whole of this region
yet, by its continuing so salt with the
amount of fresh water poured into it
constantly, the idea of the existence
of some such deposit from which
1t receives its supply seems very prob
able.
For many years the lake gradually
rose, but in 1870 it receded some tN o or
three feet-a most unusual occurrence
owing to the exceptionally warm
summer
There are no fish in the lake, but
myriadS of small flies cover its sur
face The buoyancy of the water is
SO great that it is not at all an easy
matter to drown in it. The entire
length of Salt Lake is eighty five
miles. and its breadth forty-tive miles.
Compared with the Dead Sea, the
Great Salt Lake is longer by forty
three miles, and broader by thirty

INTO a contract with gentleman who
professed to know good deal about
this matter, agreeing to give him one
half of all he could discover. Though
he has had ample time to do so, he
has made no report of property dis
covered. although there are large
quantities he might have found

Iieved that in England and on the
continent there are many millions OF
dollars worth. and the correct esti-
mate of the value of all that could be
obtained with the proper knowledge
and diligence would reach between

LONDON, Sept IA dispatch from
Hong Kong states that a Chinese
mob at Canton burned the houses of
several of the European merchants
aud also their wharves, causing great
CONSERVATION among the foreign resi-
dents, most of whom sought refuge
aboard vessels in the river. No vio-
lente was offered the vessels in the
river. No violence was offered to
persous, and a force of Chinese
troops were called out. which quietly
dispersed the rioters. On receipt of
the inlelli5ence at Hong Kong, sever
al gunboats were Immediately sent to
Canton to afford protection for mer-
chants.
During the riot the mob attacked
the troops on the wharves and hoOted
them. The riot lasted several hours.
Order was not restored until the ar
rival of Chinese troops. The natives
are so excited against foreigners that
a renewal of the riot is momentarily y
expected.
