The Soap Mines of Nevada.

In Nevada are several deposits of min.
eral soap. One of these has been worked
for three or four years. The soap is
sometimes made up into cakes as il
comes from the mine. but usually it is
toned down by admixture with various
other soaps. In Dakota and Wyoming
are also deposits of natural soap. In re-
gions where soda. borax and mineral oils
abound it Is only necessary to bring these
ingredients together and a soap mine is
the result. Hot springs assist materially
in uniting and concentrating the mate
rials provided by nature. The soap
found about hot springs is therefore,
generally harder and more perfect than
that produced in the dry way in and
about the basins of extinct lakes.
The waters of Owens and Mono lakes
are so thoroughly saturated with borax
and soda in solution that the addition of
any oleaginous matter produces soap.
The waters of Mono lake produce myriads
of grubs (which aftera time become fies)
which are washed ashore, and in some
places form beaches foot or two in
depth. The oily matter contained in the
grubs or flies; uniting with the alkali in
the water of the lake. forms deposit of
soap an inch or two in thickness each
year. Thus, in the course of ages, de-
post of natural soap of great depth has
been built upon the east side of the alkali
lakes, where the worms are stranded
prevailing winds being from the west
These particular grubs are the only living
things found in the waters of Mono and
Owens lakes.
At certain seasons an insectivorous
duck, called the spoonbill, frequents
these lakes, and, feeding upon the
aquatic flies and grubs, becomes so fat it
can hardly fly. Hunters kill these spoon
bill ducks for their oil, as the grub on
which they feed imparts to them fishy
taste so strong that they cannot be eaten
except by Indians, who eat both worms
and ducks. Ducks killed by hunters and
lost are sometimes found in the waters
of tfs lake. All the feathers are eaten
off the fowl by the alkaline solution. and
the layer of fat beneath the skin, an
inch in thickness, is found TO be changed
to soap, hard as the best CASTLE and beau
tifully white. Virginia City Enterprise.

The scholars of orr public schools
will be interested in an offer made by
The Youths Companion in its issue of
January 0. Its purpose Is to stimulate
them in commendable competition
and at the same time increase their love
for their country. The publishers OF
The Companion offer to present "a fine
large bunting flag 9xl5 feet, with forty
two stars, to that public school in each
one of the forty-two States, which shall
send TO them the best essay on "The
Patriotic Influence of the American
Flag When Raised over Our Public
Schools" These essays will be received
by the publishers of The Companion un-
til April 1, 1890. The award of the flag
will be made as near June AS possible,
i'm order that the successful school may
float the "Stars and Stripes" over its
building upon the Fourth of July, next.
This move to interest the young peo-
pie of the present generation in secur-
ing flag for the school house, is one
that should be heartily commended and
encouraged. Why cannot one OF our
own schools secure The Companion Flag
for this State?
