Remarkable Salt Deposits.

In Lincoln county, on the Rio Virgin,
is one of the most remarkable deposits of
rock sat on the cont:eent. 1t is found
in hills 500 feet above the level of the
valley, and chemically pure. Blocks of
it over foot square arc so transparent
that one may read a paper through them.
So solid is this salt that it must be
blasted out the same as if it were rock.
This deposit of salt lies about three-quar-
ters of a mile west of the Rio Virgin and
three miles south of the Mormon village
of st. Thomas. There a body of this
salt is exposed for length of nearly two
miles, which is about half a mile wide
and of unknown depth. The deposit
runs north and south, and is seen on the
surface for a distance of over nine miles.
In places the canons have cut through
it to depth of sixty feet. At these
points the Hiko company formerly
blasted out the sat required in working
their ores. This great deposit of salt is
situated at an altitude of 1, 100 feet above
the level of the sea. 1t is undoubtedly
very ancient, as in one place it has been
covered by flow of basaltic rock. In
other places it is covered to
depth of from one to five feet
with volcanic trifa. At Sand Springs,
in Churchill county, beside the salt that
may be shoveled up from the surface,
there is found deposit Of rock salt
fourteen feet in depth. This salt is as
transparent as the clearest ice and does
not contain particle of any foreign or
deleterious substance. 1t may be
auaried the same as ifit was marble 1t
is said that one man can quarry aud
wheel out five tons a day of this salt, 1t
is only necessary to grind it to render it
fit for table or dairy use. Sixty or sew
enty miles north of this, at the eastern
base of the Dun Glen range Of mountains,
is the great Humboldt salt field. This is
about fifteen miles long and six wide.
In summer, when the surface water has
evaporated, salt to the depth of three or
four inches can be scraped up from the
surface. Beneath the surface is STRAIT
um of pure rock salt of unknown depth.
This rock salt is so hard that in order to
get it out rapidly it is necessary to blast
it. Were branch railroad to run to
one of these deposits, salt would soon be
a cheap article in the United States. AS
there are in the same localities great
quantities of soda, borax and other valu-
able minerals, it is probable that the day
is not far distant when some of them
will be tapped by branch railroads which
could be cheaply laid down through the
level districts. Dayton (Neo.) Reporter.

The Finest Residence in Chicago.

"The finest private residence in Chica.
go" said an architect: ''has a great
gothic tower, reminding one of an Eng

The hall is baronial, full height of the
house, with carved oak staircase, floor

carved in Italy centuries ago, Powers's s

the hall is gallery supported by marble
pillars, and from these hang some magni-
ficent specimens of Gobelin tapestries.

This castle stands on the shore of Lake
Michigan, not far from the southern en-
trance to Lincoln Park. The owner,
Potter Palmer, told friend of mine that
he had built this house with profits made
by investments in real estate in the neigh
borhood, these profits accruing within
the last five years.
The ambition of Mr.. Palmer and his
wife was to have the finest and most
richly-furnished dwelling in Chicago, and
in my opinion, they have certainly sue
ceeded. - Chicago Herald.

Poisonous Pickles.

Dr. Grothe, a chemist connected with
the Brooklyn board of health, says in an
in 'erview
"The poisoning of child by poisoned
pickles last year induced the Brooklyn
board of heath to make extended exami-
nations of various brands of pickles. In
consequence of the measure taken by this
body, the sale of dangerous pickles has
almost entirely ceased in Brooklyn. Negass

with copper or some salts of copper. The
goods were put up by y New York firm.
An easy wayof discovering whether pick
les have been colored by means of cop
per is to take strong, bright sewing
needle, to which small strip of zinc has
been soldered in such manner that both
can be inserted into the suspicious pickle.
Let them both remain thus for some ten
or twelve hours, and then draw out the
needle. In case the pickle has beer i'm
pregnated with copper the needle will be
covered with the characteristic coppery

die has come in contact with the rind of
the pickle. The principle Of this simple
test is the formation Of an electric con-
ductor between zinc and iron, using the
acid fluid between as a medium The

containing copper will sometimes pro-
duce this copper covering on the needle,

An Elephant Wrecks a Bustle.

The rays of the sun do not strike at the

Mr.. S. II. Davey, of Cornwall, England,
confirms DR.. Tommasi- Crudelli's opinion
concerning the effect of arsenic in pre-
venting cholera and other zymotic dis
eases. Although during the last forty
years many cases of cholera fever, small
pox, etc, have occurred in the country
surrounding the extensive arsenic works
at Bissoe, not single case has been
known within about two miles of the
deadly fumes.
The possibility of photographing in
the dark has been shown by Abney, an
English experimenter. He has succeed
ed in preparing plates which are sensi-
tive to the rays lying beyond the red
end of the spectrum-the dark heat
rays--and with such plates used with a
rock salt lens it should be possible to
photograph bcdies having high tenn
perature, although that temperature may
be far below that necessary to render
them self-luminous.
Sensations of vision require definite
exposure of the retina, which time Mr.
]. M. Cattell, Of the University of Leip-
sic, finds to be considerably dependent
on the nature of the object and the in
tensity of the light. 1t varies with the
several colors. Orange gives the quick
est impression on the eye, and yellow
closely follows it; then comes blue, red
and green; while the retina is less sensi-
tive to violet light the time for which is
from two to three times as long as for Or
ange. By lamplight the eye works more
slowly than by daylight, and the order
of perceiving colors is changed to or
ange, red, yellow, violet and blue.

Work for the Humane.

The American Humane association di-
rects the attention of the public to the
barbarities and abuses continually being
practicei in various portions of the coun-
try and oftentimes in localities and cities
which are deemed very highly civilized.
In order that the friends of the defence
less and helpless may know the extent
of this evil and devise measures for their
relief, mention is here made of some Of
the existing cruelties.
Animals in freezing and starving con-
dition, in exposed localities on the West
ern plains, in the winter season.
Animals so horribly burned on their
bodies, through careless branding, as to
make wounds that never heal.
Animals severely wounded and tor
turcd by clubs and long, sharp, iron
prods, when being loaded on stock cars.
Animals so cruelty crowded, trampled,
starved and kept without water, when
transported long distances by rail to
market, as to make their meat unfit for
food.
Horses compelled to endure excrutia.
ting torture by the over check and other
high-check reins, through the ignorance
and pride of thoughtless drivers.
Dogs and cats driven to desperation
and madness from want of water.
Horses ruined in health and limb
through being loaded, lack of food
and improper feeding.
Cows compelled, through the penuri-
business Of their owners, torun the streets,
in many cities and villages, quenching
thirst from mud-puddles, pounded by
clubs, beaten by stones and mutilated by
dogs, when driven from yards into which
the animals force themselves because of
hunger.
Fine horses, outrageously high check
ed and brutality over driven by drunken,
careless and cruel drivers.
Pigeons wantonly wounded, mutilated
and allowed to linger hours before death
comes to their relief, at shooting tourna.
ments.
Horses left standing in exposed posi-
tions through severe storms without
covering.
Beautiful song and useful BIRDS need
lessly slaughtered by men and boys for
sport.
Insects, birds and animals of vario.l
kinds cruelty put to death by thoughtless
persons when little care would make
death less painful.
The cruel and savage instinct aroused
by pugilism, cock and dog fighting.
The useless, barbarous cruelty Inflicted
on hares aud foxes in allowing them to be
chased and hunted by hounds for hours
as sport.
The debasing, cruel effect on children
by close confinement at labor, often in
dark and unwholesome factories, and
other places.
The cruelties and beatings inflicted on
patient, uncomplaining wives by brutal
and drunken husbands.
The whipping and abuse endured by
boys and girls who have been given into
the charge of coarse and haId masters.
The starvation and neglect endured by
infants and email children when left by
their parents with those who promise to
care for them.
The privation, distress and degrada-
tion of little waits of children in the
streets, who often have no one to protect
them.
