Salt Islands.

Avery's celebrated salt island in
Louisiana has q rival. Carmen island
lies in the Gulf of California, some five
miles from the peninsula. 1t is only
nineteen miles long by six broad, but il Is
one of the most valuable small islands
in the world, as it contains immense de-
posts of pure, white, natural salt. 1t is
owned by James Viosca, a Spanish
American, who went to lower California
thirty years ago. He resides ut La
Paz, but spends much of his time on the
island experimenting the salt mines.
The salt deposits cover a surface of
1000 acres. About one-third of this
acreage is mass of pure, clean, white
salt; the remainder is covered simply
with layer of soil, brought there by
rains from the adjacent mountains, and
also in plnces with q thin coating of
coral, all of which, when removed, show
the pure, white salt beneath. The salt
deposits in this basin have proved by
actual Investigation TO be fourteen feet
in thickness, but IL is hard TO work at
any depth below the surface as the briny
water sccping through, creates new
layer of salt Of from five to eight inches
in thickness in fifteen days. The most
remarkable thing about this deposit is
the fact that although the salt has been
taken from this basin for agcs, the sur
face of the lake has never been lowered,
but always retains the same level.

CHILEAN Products.

Among the articles of export wheat and
flour figure prominently, also barley,
potatoes, corn, wool, hides, dried and
sailed beef, honey, bceswax, beans, hay
butter and cheese. Most of these, how
ever, go no farther than Bolivia and
Peru, the countries Immediately to the
northward. Chilean wines are also
highly esteemed, and have not only u
very large consumption at home, but
millions of gallons are annually ex-
ported.

themselves TO chicha. The latter bevcr-
age in Chill is not at oil like the corn

being a sort of raw cider distilled from

The Word "Prairie."

A prairie is an extensive tract of land
destitute of trees, of rolling conforma-
ton and covered with tall, coarse grass,
and usually characterized by deep,
fertile soil The absence of timber Is
attributed by some to its having been
destroyed In former era by fire or by
the aboriginal inhabitants. The term
prairie" is applicable west of the AL
leghany Mountains. Local circumstances
in various sections attach descriptive
prefix to the name, /. c., Salt Prairies,
Texas and New Mexico, and Soda
Prairies, New Mexico and Arizona. A
prairie differs from savanna only in
being under n zone where the seasons
are not marked as wet and dry, but
where the heritage corresponds to var
liable moisture. The word prairie came
into use in the Mississippi Valley through
the French missionaries and the employ
ees Of the Hudson's Bay Company. The
States bordering on the river arc desig-
mated as the Prairie States.--B Boston

Aiming themselves, they carefully ad.
vanced on either side of the engine,
and as the pythons slowly raised their
heads in awakened curiosity two stimuli
taneous discharges of rifles disturbed
the night solitude, and the serpents
wriggled in death. 1t was then i'm
practicable to carry the reptiles along,
owing to their size and weight, one OF
them measuring 125 feet in length and
the other 1913. They were subsequently,
however, taken to Madras, where their
skins are preserved. But remark
able part of the story follows. The
'pythons. "a insurs ths. successes Of thair
fiendish attempt at wrecking. had par
TALLY gorged themselves with sand
aud small stones, that the train might
smoothly glide on their bodies to the
deep gorge in which they had intended
to bury it.
In examining this story we found
nothing difficult of belief except the
extreme length to which the pythons
had attained, and, unwilling to reject it
on this account, we studied up the his
tory of pythons, and found that our
ignorance only stood in the way of our
accepting this remarkable Indian oc-
currence. Livy, the celebrated Roman
histo; ian, who chronicled all the events
of the seven-hilled city, and described
The battles of gods and men, narrates
that in Africa an immense python de-
voured several soldiers, and measured
when killed 100 feet Captain Spoke,
who travelled the dark continent, :"
and met with all kinds of people and
things described "baby" python
that measured ffty-one and one-half
feet. IL is but fair to India 10 say that
its reptiles are as superior to those OF
Africa as its people are TO the dark
skinned beings that live in trees like
monkeys and only descend to earth
when they need a. meal of clay. A few
more occurrences like the above will
make far off India better known TO
the world, though they may not serve
as attractive advertisements for tour
lists.

1T is reported that Edwin Booth is
dying from the effects of too much
smoking. The report may be exag-
gerated to some extent. but l. very
probably has considerable foundation.
His excessive smoking has for years
been the subject of general comment,
and it would not be surprising that q
man of his delicate health should feel
its bad effects. And especially is this
true when it is remembered that he is
said to smoke only the very strongest
kind OF cigars. But for the fact that
he has been very temperate in other
things his health would probably have
broken down long before this.
