THE DESERT LAKE.

Report of the Discoveries Made by
 HI. Patton-General Effects ofthe
 Overdow-BeIfeves the Lake will be
 Permanent.
 SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 17.-H. W. Pat ton, who undertook to explore the source of the overflow on the desert lake at Sslton is in this city. He made the trip by boat from Yuma down the Colorado river to a break in the banks. He says heis positive the lake will be permanent. At present it is failing, but each slight rise in the river adds to the volume of water in the lake and now that well defined channel has been washed out the water from the river would flow directly into the lake instead of spreading all over the country. The break in the river bank is about seventeen miles south of Yuma in the Mexican territory. From there to the lake channel is from | 100 feet to half mile wide and of sufh- | cient depth to carry an immense body of water. The soil through which the chan nel has cut its way is a very rich sandy | loam, and for miles the sand of the desert has been washed into the channel, leaving the soil exposed. The water had deposited vast quantities of quelite seed and hundreds of thousands of acres are green with pasturage. Speaking of the general effects of the overflow Patton said | it would be both detrimental and benef. cial, adding: "At Banning we had in com paratively short time four rains; then there were rains in the mountains above Red Lands and heavy fall at Campo unprecedented at this time of the year. am satisfied they are the direct result of the Salton lake These rains come at a time when they arr not needed, just at harvest, and when thu raisin crop is maturing. On the othel hand it will bring into the market and un der cultivation an immense amount O territory hitherto unproductive and ster ile. At present about one-ffth of the wa ter in Colorado river is flowing througl the channel into Salton lake a Salton. But with the next heavy rise
 would not be surprised to see almost tn
 entire volume of the water in the rive
 turned into the channels.

How 10 Keep Cool.


 Cleanliness, not only next to godliness, is part of coolness. So take a plunge bath in the morning, letting the water be tepid, and afterward giving yourself a cold shower. Omit starch from your clothes as far as possible. Eat a light breakfast. Greasy food, or a great quan- tity of food. taken in the morning, will most certainly heat your stomach for the entire day. A woman who stays in the city, and is always cool, gives this as her bill of fare: A cup of coffee in the morn ing, with bread and butter: luncheon of cold beef and baked potato, with lemon ade or iced tea; and a dinner after sunset consisting of little soup, bit of meat and one hot vegetable, cool green salad a cold dessert and small cup of coffee. Keep this in mind also; there is no better preventive against heat than good temper, when you combine good bathing, proper food and eyenness of CiisnOsition with if

SNAKES IN FLORIDA.

AS They Arc Reported.

| Not Nearly So Plentiful or So Dangerous
AS They Arc Reported.
I don't think your correspondent
"Anti-Snake" needs to be so much
afraid of rattlesnakes in Florida, says
Il writer in Forest and Stream. l have
done considerable camping, tramping
and hunting in the twenty winters
have spent in Florida, but have never
lost a dog nor seen live r;,ttlesnake
in the woods or the swamps of the
state. l walk through the swamps,
scrubalmetto or grass without ever
thinking of snakes, ard in the twenty
years have only known of two persons
to have been bitten by rattlers; one a
Mr.. Babcock, at Pine Island, Charlotte
Harbor, and the young Englishman
killed this winter at Halifax River.
He saw the snake and struck at it with
a stick, when it struck back and hit
him. 1t don't do to play with them.
! What is called the moccasin snake
or cotton mouth here is very abundant
in the water and swamps in the south
ern part of the state, but not much
feared or considered very dangerous
like the rattlers.
| was once shooting from a boat in
South Florida when the bushes pulled
out one Of our rowlocks quite a loss
when we could get no other). pro-
posed to our colored man '.Bill' that
he take off his shoes and pantaloons
and feel for it with his toes in the
water, about three feet deep. He
dropped out of the boat and stepped
upon a big moccasin snake. He gave
all awful yell, and as he came out had
an enormous snake twined about his
naked legs. AS soon as he was out of
the water it unwound and went away,
| Bill was sure he was bitten and 1
thought he looked very pale for q
| black man. but could find no bite or
damage. 1t was several days before
he got over the shock, and the row-
lock was never found. The moccasin
snake keeps in or near the water all
the time. and the fires that run all
over the country do not kill them; but
the rattlesnake keeps most always up
on the dry land, and most Of them are
burned up in the long grass and scrub
palmetto.
| only know of three poisonous
snakes in Florida or the United States,
the rattlesnake. moccasin, and coral
snake. The last is Il small, very pretty
snake, and not dangerous unless you
handle it. The rattlesnake of the
Southern States is a very large and
dangerous reptile, but as I have said
before, a very rare snake and seldom
seen.

Another Report.

JAMESTOWN, Aug. 12.-The state
Prohibition conference held here today
completed the organization of the Pro-
hibition party of North Dakota.
They were addressed by Chairman
Dickey of New York city of the nation
al executive committee, who reported
flattering progress. He said there was
monthly revenue of $1,000 coming
into the national and thirty-two state
committees; that there were more pa
pers, more readers than ever, and the
month Of July has witnessed more pro-
hibition conventions, camps, etc., than
any month in the history of the move
ment. A state central committee was
organized by the appointment of the
following unconditional Prohibitionists
pledged to work for that cause, first,
last and all the time.
II. II. Mott. of Walsh county; A. J..
NJ. Carver, Benson county; Walter A.
Muir, Cass county; M. D. Williams,
Stutsman county; G. II. Warthman,
Kidder county; E. E. Saunders, Cass
county; II. A. Foss, Grand Farks coun-
ty; II. b. Richardson, Pembina.
Mr.. Foss is the Scandinavian editor
of the Normanden, the Alliance organ
of the nationality. Mr.. Muir is the
late Alliance president and editor of
the Independent. the paper Of the Peo-
pies party. MI. Carver is editor of the
Benson County News.
The committeeman are pledged to
prohibition in preference to any party,
and several names proposed with too
prominent Alliance or Republican af-
tilations were dropped from committee.
a state convention will be called in
March next to get the party in shape
for the national campaign. Indications
are that the Alliance and Prohibition
lists will form combination for all pol
itical purposes.
A number of leading republicans met
in another hall and held an enforce
ment league convention. Among them
we're Congressman johnson, G. A. Pol
lock, George Goodwin and other we'll
known men. The efforts to get Prohi-
bitionists to abandon any third party
move were abortive, and a resolution
against an Independent prohibition
party was voted down by the meeting
but afterwards passed by a few Repub-
licans. who remained in the hall.

The Noble Work OF Saving Mems Lives

Landsmen as rule take little in
terest in this dangerous service, filled
with hardships until they themselves
are exposed to the peril of the break
ers and hear the order given to MAN
the life-boat," or see the breaches
buoy coming to the rescue like an an
gel of deliverance. 1t is new thing
to them and they wonder how they
have lived SO long without knowing of
this service of the coast. And their
gratitude crystalizes into gold medal,
a personal favor to one brave man,
and there the matter rests. They
know only their own experience, but
even yet have no idea of the success
and magnitude of the organization.
A description of the Dobbins life
boat may be of interest here. 1t is a
high-sea roller, light and buoyant y
beauty to the eye. The frame is built
of oak, the planking of cedar. At
either end of the boat is circular air
chamber which extends short dis
lance above the gunwale. The deck
is water-tight and about fourteen
inches below the top of the gunwale.
The hole or space below the deck
is filed with layers of parafined sheet
cork. Should the boat be stove in or
broken it could not possibly sink on
account Of this use of cork in it's con-
struction. just above the deck are
ports which close with spring hinge.
When the boat ships sea, the force
of the water will open the ports and
the boat will then bail itself.
It is indeed true, that peace hath
her victories no less renowned than
those of war. The best equipped life
boat must be directed by the strong
arm ana ready muscle of the brave
surfman who stands ever ready to
peril life and limb in this service of
the sea. Detroit Free Press.
