GREAT SALT LAKE.
Scientific Ideas as 10 its Origin-Rem-
nant OF Fresh Water Lake.
From the COrnhiH Afd0dsiRe.

From, sAe CornRiH Rd0dsiRe.
Great Salt Lake is in fact not branch
OF the sea at all, but a mere shrunken
remnant OF very large fresh-water lake
systes., like that OF the still existing st.
Lawrence chain. Once upon q time,
American biologists say, huge sheet of
water, for which they have even invented
a definite name, Lake Bonneville. oceu-
pied far largervalley among the outliers
OF the Rocky mountains, measuring 800
miles In one direction bv $50 miles in the
other. Beside this primitive Superior lay
a great second sheet-an early Huron
( Lake Lahontan the geologists call it) al
most as big and equally of fresh water.
by and blythe precise dates are neces-
sarily indednite-some change in the rain
fall, unregistered by any contemporary,
made the waters of these big lakes shrink
and evaporate. Lake Lahontan shrank
away, like Alice in Wonderland, till there
was absolutely nothing left OF it; Lake
Bonneville shrank till il at
tanned the diminished size of
the existing Great Salt Lake.
Terrace after terrace, running In long
parallel lines on the sides ofthe Wahsatch
mountains around. mark the various lev.
els at which it rested for q while on its
gradual downward course. 1t is still fall
Ing indeed, and the plain around is being
gradually uncovered, forming the white,
salt-incrusted shore with which all wish
tors to the Mormon city are so familiar.
But why should the water have become
briny? Why should the evaporation of
old superior produce at last a Great Salt
lake! Well, there is a small quantity OF
salt in solution even in the freshest of
lakes and ponds, brought down to them
by the streams or rivers, and as the wa
ter of the hypothetical Lake Bonneville
slowly evaporated, the salt and other
mineral constituents remained behind.
Thus the solution grew constantly more
and more concentrated, till at the present
day IL is extremely saline. Prot. Geiki
Ito whose works the present paper is
much indebted found that he foated on
the water in spite of himself; and the UNI
der sides of the steps at the bathing-places
are all incrusted with short stalacttes OF
salt, produced from the drip OF the bath
ers as they leave the water. The miner
al constituents, however, differ consldera-
bly, in their proportions from those found
in true salt lakes Of marine origin, and
the point at which the salt IS thrown
down is still far from having been reach
ed. Great Salt lake must simmer in the
sun for many centuries yet before the
point arrives at which Gas cooks say it
begins e. settle.

A Sheen Intoxicant.
Fron. " PorLIand Oreaonian

y
In reference to a statement in regard to
200 bucks being poisoned in Eastern Ore
gOn, a gentleman who has extensive
interests in that section, and who has
spent several years on the sheep ranges
there, gives the following information:
"There Is low weed growing on certain
ranges which, when eaten by the sheep in
the tall, proves fatal. The sheep run on
these ranges in the spring without
damage. Then they are driven to the
mountains for the summer, and when
they come back on the range in the fall
this poison weed is ripe. and the seeds
have fallen on the ground. The sheep
feed on the weed and probably the seeds.
Presently their ears droop, they frOJh at
the mouth, and their BRAIN is affected.
After standing for awhile in dazed con-
dition they start off in any direction they
happen to be headed, and keep going till
they walk over a cliff or into n gully or
fall dead. They cannot be turned or
stopped, but walk off a bluff as CON-
posedly as if it was level ground. SO far
as known, there is no cure for sheep which
have eaten this weed. Cattle and horses
are not poisoned by it."

A liquor dealer from Atlanta was in
Athens few days ago, and said that he
thought prohibition would win in that
city unless the liquor men spent a great
deal Of money, and he even doubted if it
would do any good. He said the people
were determined on testing the matter,
and he saw but little hope for success on
his side

His Checks Were Red.


Cal Osborne, "a grizzly gambler, who in
! the good old days "beiO' de wahv won
and lost many q dollar on the big double
deckers on the lower Mississippi, sat on
a bale Of cotton at the wharf at 1Vicks-
burg, one day last week. There were
| large rents in the back of his russell coat,
and his trousers were infrm with age.
"fimes are not what they were,o the
old sport mOaned as he tossed piece of a
red faro check into the river and stroked
his chin with q YelYety hand. "But |
saw some pretty hard days in the '60s,
though, and my present condition sort o.
carries me back TO particularly memo
rable day IN 1858. II was of a Wednes-
day in June Of that year, IL remember
Alright, that boarded a steamer at Men,
phis. had Just enough money TO
pay my passage 20 Natchez, but
this fact did not worry me any.
There were plenty OF suckers In those
days, and as i was pretty cute in my
line of business, the idea OF not being
able to rake in hundred or two on a trip
never entered my head. We had gone
down the river perhaps five miles when
spotted young, smOOth-looking fellow
dealing faro out of hand. There were five
lndianians In the game, and as 1 watched
the bets ! concluded that the layout was
just too soft for anything. But, as / said
before, didn't have copper, and, what
made II all the more discouraginR, had
pawned all my jewelry in st. Louis seve-
raj weeks before.
II saw that the players were using
kernels OF corn tor checks, and had also
seen while waiting for the boat 10 start At
Memphis that she carried a good sized
cargo OF corn in the ear. Now here was
my opportunity. l moved away from the
game, feeling as though there was but a
few short steps between myself and opu-
lence. Sneaking down on the boiler deck,
found an open hatcnway, and thrusting
this big right hand into the boats hold
fished up an ear OF corn. | jammed the
cob into my coat pocket and crept uD
stairs like a thief, Smelling the corn as
went. IL was not more than a minute
more before | was looking over the shout
ders OF the players. Tue game was get
ting interesting, and the men were piling
up the corn on the cards AZ great rate.
NOW, here was my time.
81 scOoped up handful OF kernels In
my pocket, and slapped the seeds on the
queen. The dealer looked at the kernels
a second, and, without raising his head,
said In a tone OF voice 30 frosty that II
chilled me 70 the bone:
"'stranger, don't remember Of issuing
any red checks.'
II took In the situation at a glance, and,
with a stage cough, SUNK away to the
bow Of the boat and cursed my luck.
When that boat reached Natchez, 1 sat on
the wharf two whole days watching them
unload that corn, and / will eat this old
hat II there was another ear OF red corn
IN that whole cargo. Talk about hard
luck, friend. thai was n little more ago.
