no such state of affairs ever exists. After
you become accustomed the buoyancy of the
water, you will probably do as the others do
that is, you viii let your feet come to the
surface. when you will find yourself calmly
floating on the water, with head and shout
ders entirely above. The body is gently
rocked as the waves roll In and softly break
upon the sand. By laying on the back and
placing the arms at right angles to the body
and drawing them down to the sides, the
bather can propel himself rapidly through
the water with comparatively little exer-
ton. The bathing season commences in
June and lasts until the latter part of Au-
gust, the temperture of the water varying at
different months during the summer, rang
ing from so to s. degrees, reaching the lat
ter point during August.
The area of the lake is 1000 square
miles, it being seventy-five miles long by
fifty miles wide in the widest place. The
average depth is probably about fifteen feet,
the greatest depth being about thirty-fye.
There are two bathing resorts, Garfield
and Lake Park. The lake is situated about
eighteen miles from the City of the Saints.
Trains leave for the lake at nearly all hours
of the day. The favorite or rather the

battle are from to clock p. M, between
which times the water is the warmest.
Notices are posted in every corner caution
ing bathers not to get the salt water in the
mouth, nose or eyes, as it is very disagree
able and irritating, and if allowed to get
IL the lungs is extremely painful. But
with ordinary caution there is little or no
danger. 1t is a common sight to see 200
people lying quietly on the surface of the
the water without the least eXertion.
The beach is composed of remarkably
clean white sand and the water is as clear
as crystal, the bottom being clearly discern
ible at almost any depth. The lake is well
supplied with row-boats for the accommo-
dation of the public. There are also two
strong rowing clubs on the lake-the Gar
field club at Garfield, and the Salt Lake
club at Lake Park. and the contests between
the rival clubs have never failed to attract
large crowds. Owing to the extreme buoy
ancy of the water boats float one-third
higher than in fresh water, and therefore
it is claimed that the Great Salt Lake is
the fastest water in the civilized world.
The view from the beach is beautiful at
any time, but reaches the climax at sunset,
when the islands and the distant mountains
assume the varying tints of the sunset sky
and the surface of the lake looks like vast
basin of molten silver quivering in the
slightest breeze. The tints are so delicate
and the view so inspiring that once seen it
makes a lasting impression on the memory.

FROSTS CAN'T NJURE IT.
The Corn Crop too Far Advanced to be In
jured by the Cold Weather.

CHICAGO, Ill. - The editor of the
Farmers Review being interviewed re-
Gently as to what damage to the corn
crop would probably follow the frost at
this date, one having been predicted by
the signal service, gave it as his opinion
that as a general thing the crop is out of
the way of frost. The frost would un-
doubtedly seriously injure late planted
corn on low lying lands where
super abundance of moisture
tends to make corn rank and green. In
Northern Wisconsin, where drouth has
prevailed corn is already dry and passed
injury. In the dairying districts of the
state it is probable that a good deal of
damage will be done. In Illinois
and Indiana the corn is
considered practically out of danger,
except along the rivers on what are known
as bottom lands. In northwestern Ken
lucky and northern Missouri the frost will
probably not do any damage. The toma o
crop will, however, in many localities be
severely damaged should frost of any Sc
verify come at this time.

4 Girls Metamorphosis.

Students of Ovid have often perplexed
themselves, says the London Globe, in an
endeavor to find out what could possibly
be the origin of the stories he has told so
well. What could possibly have suggested
to him or to those who furnished material
for his tales the miraculous change of 10 or
of Daphne? The case which is exciting
so much attention at the Saltpetriere just
now may, perhaps, suggest solution.
A pretty girl of Is, fair-haired, blue-eyed
and pleasant featured, is at intervals trans
formed into cat; that is to say, she has a
PERIODIC fit of insanity which takes that
form. One who has seen her says: Sud
denly, as you look at her, her whole physi-
ognomy changes She becomes hard, her
eyes are convulsed in their sockets, a grim
ace deforms her features, and her mouth is
drawn up, and she drops to the earth, as
If on four paws. She tries every opening
to escape, and with incredible agility she
darts under chairs and tables; if one tries
to stop her she reproduces exactly the
ptf f t. pf It of the cat In anger.
At other times, In less irritated moods
she will play like kitten with a ball of
paper, or come to the onlooker to be car
essed and spoken to. If alarmed, she
arches her back just as cat does This
lasts about twenty minutes, after which
she RECEIVERS her senses. No recollection
remains of her metamorphosis, and she is
commonly distressed to find her hands all
scratched and her dress soiled Professor
Charcot, who considers the case unique, is
nevertheless sanguine of being able to eff
feet cure, and it will be most interesting
to watch the result of the treatment.

THE CITY OF THE SAINTS.
A Travellers Impression of Salt Lake
City, the Mormon Stronghold.
A Visit to the Great Tabernacle and
the Unfinished Temple.

At six o'clock in the morning, and be-
fore scarcely any of the Pullman passen-
gers had risen from their berths. the west
bound Denver & Rio Grande train stopped
for few minutes at Provo, forty-six miles
from Salt Lake City. Provo is a quaint
little village of about 5000 inhabitants, all
but about 200 Of whom are Mormons The
houses are small, old-fashioned, adobe struc-
lures, each set back In a small orchard of
shade or fruit trees In fact, this is a pecu-
harity of Mormon villages. All along the
line of the railroad can be seen what at
first sight appears to be shady groves, and
it is only by careful search that the houses
can be discovered, hid as they are amid
dense foliage.
If you step out on the platform of the
car to get better view of the little city,
the fact that you are In the midst of a
great fruit-growing region is quickly i'm
pressed upon you. Boys and girls of all
sizes and ages crowd about the car with
different kinds of fruit-apples, peaches,
apricots and different kinds of berries.
Won't you please buy some apples;
only five cents dozen, = pleads one Of the
little girls, with remarkably dirty face
1t is not easy to resist such an appeal, es-
pecially as the fresh fruit makes excellent
eating before breakfast.
In few minutes the train is off again.
1t is about an hour and half run from
Provo to Salt Lake City. The railroad
passes through what is probably the finest
farming portion of the Salt Lake Valley.
The entire valley has the appearance of
one waving field. There does not appear
to be single foot of uncultivated ground
throughout the valley. The train passes
along the edge Of Utah Lake for several
miles and you can have an excellent
view of Salt Lake City, lying at the foot
of the Wasatch Mountains. This city is a
great stopping off place between San Fran
cisco and Denver, and is well supplied with
hotels to accommodate this transient
population. If you do not know at what
hotel to stop the hotel runners will tell
you. They all tell you at once. In this
respect, at least, Salt Lake City is like all
others
