There seems to be practically no limi-
tation to the uses to which paper can be
and is applied. To the long list of ar
ticles intended for personal use, and in
the smaller details of construction of
rolling stock, such as wheels, axles, ETC.,
there has been added more extensive
application to the need of everyday life
by the building of hotel constructed of
this material. This novel residence,
which has just been finished and is stu
ated in Hamburg, has been made en-
tirely of paper boards, which, it is said
are of the hardness of wood, but possess
an advantage over the latter material in
that they are fireproof, this desirable end
being effected by impregnation with GER
tain chemical solutions. York Tel

rha Latest About salton Lake.

A prospector who has just come from
the Colorado desert after a six months
trip says that he has ridden around the
greater portion of the Salton lake. and
that, in his opinion, there is little likeli-
hood of its drying up. In any event it
could not all evaporate should the flow
cease before the freshets of next season,
when it would again pour into the basin.
He thinks that next year the breach al
ready made will be enlarged, and that a
greatly increased volume of water will
flow in, making the lake a permanent
feature for many years to come. The
past summer has been eventful in desert
history, as there have been an almost
unbroken succession of transforms. sand
storms and electrical storms. Immense
quantities of rain have fallen, and the
thunder and lightning have been some
thing terrific. Francisco Chronicle.

Cigars and Music Combined.

While I stood at the showcase in a
cigar store the other day music box
began playing. looked all about the
store to see where the melody came
from, but the instrument was nowhere
visible.
Finally the storekeeper, with broad
smile on his face, took a cigar box down
from the row on shelf and set it be-
fore me. AS he opened the lid the play
ing ceased. looked into the box and
saw; that the lower half of it was de-
voted to the music box.

awe and of distaste amounting to re-

regions. so wild so desolate and so for
bidding.
1t was in the midst of such a region
that Derwent found himself three or
four days after leaving Guadalajara. A
journey on muleback of twenty leagues
had brought him into the heart of The
great Sierra Madre. and when he was
told that the mine was at hand he looked
on a scene that for wiidness. sublimity
and loneliness could hardly be matched
in the world. They were threading their
way along one Of the great barrancas-

three or four thousand feet-while all
around great peaks thrust themselves
against the sky. varying only in the alb

introduced as one Of the owners of the
