Disappearance of a Lake.
san francisco Bult,tIH

The Salton Lake that appeared on the
Colorado Desert some months ago Is
rapidly disappearing. In a short time,
according TO present appearances, there
will be nothing but the dry bed OF lake
left. The appearance OF this body OF
water has given rise to many specula-
lions. The most untenable OF all was
that permanent lake had been formed
there, whereas the government reports
show that in some former years SINH
lar large body of water had appeared in
the desert which was simply the over
flow Of the Colorado river. What occur
red years ago and this year is likely to
occur In future years. But there Is no
prospect that any permanent lake VIII
be formed there by ordinary natural
means.
An observing citizen OF Southern
California has noted some important
changes which he hoped would
not be permanent. There was much
more humidity in the atmosphere,
which made the summer heat more in
tolerable than in former seasons. In
stead OF the usual cool nights, with a
temperature favorable for sleep, the
nights, as we'll as the days, were
oppressiYely hot and humid. Another
evil which he feared was that the
lower temperature late in the season
would bring on early frosts which
might be disastrous to many indurtrial
interests. In his view not single ad-
vantage wonld result from a perman-
ent lake on the Colorado desert

She Rang tho Bell on Them.

Two burglars caught tarter in Bos-
ton one night recently, through which
they were themselves caught to their
sorrow and pain. While ransacking a
house in Cambridge, Mass, they entered
the bedroom of Miss Margaret Il. Rus
sell, who owned the house. The lady,
who kept large bell on a chair by her
bedside for Just such visitors, jumped
up, seized the bell and not only used IL
for ringing purposes, but banged the
burglars over the head with II at the
same time so effectually that the wounds
thus made rendered their identifications
complete when captured shortly after on
the street, whittier they had hastily fed
from the attack made on them.

Feat of st. Louis County Ladies'.

The ottar OF roses Is supposed to be a
peculiarly oriental production, but l
saw the other day in a small bottle OF
genuine ottar made in st. Louis county
by two ladies, In whose yard there grew
an immense quantity of roses. Early In
the spring they conceived the idea OF
manufacturing some OF the ottar. They
were somewhat discouraged at finding
how little ottar could be made from so
large quantity of roses. 1t took, In
fact, about barrel OF rose leaves TO
make less than half an ounces OF the
ottar, but 1t is genuine, as fragrant as
the oriental product, and made them
very proud Of their success. The genu-
inc product sells for from forty dollars
to fifty dollars an onuce, but theirs Is
not for sale.

"Pll start your poor horse for you"
