SAL1ON LAKE VANISHING.
Little Probability That the Colorado River
VIII Ever FlU the Depression Again.

Superintendent George W. Durbrow of the
salt works at Saltou, the little settlement in the
heart of the Colorado DESERT made famous last
summer by the sudden appearance there of a
mysterious lake. has made special study of lis
cause. Ny. Durbrow has The scientific infornla-
ton 20 make his opinion valuable, and lie is the
recognized authority Oh the Colorado desert
His ed1ction that the lake would be dried up by
Christmas has been verified, as salt is once
more beng scraped from beds that last July
were covered by four feet of water. Mr.. Dur
brow saws. according to special from San
Francisco to the New York Tribune, Of the cause
OF the lake:
1T was not the quantity OF water that passed
through the cIeyasse of the Colorado river that
made Saiton lake This creyasso was meas
urei and was found TO be only 300 feet wide
bur the lake was male by the general overflow
OF the banks for ten or twelve miles to q depth
Of two and half feet, with u current OF lve
miles an hour. That overflow was the true
cause of tie lake being formed ut Salton. At
least two-thirds of the water that passes
through the crevasse flows southwest and
reaches the Colorado river near its mouth.
Salton lake is only ten miles long and
eight broad and has only thirteen inches of
water in its deepest place. Its greatest area in
August was ten miles by thirty. 1t is my opin-
ion that unless the Colorado this winter rises
[ 10 tue salIlc us II ulU last eUEu-
airy little water from the river will reach Sal
ton Lakes that were formed between the
Colorado and Saltou have entirely disappeared
| AID 1t will take an immense volume OF water to
I iii again these depressions. Until they are
filled the water cannot reach Saiton.
FROM present appearances there will be no
| food IN the Colorado in February. and hence
| the summer rise will be small. The winds OF
this winter have been filling up tie channels

the desert by the water to places where no
/ vegetation was ever known. These trees will
/ be the means Of forming sand dunes which will
I serve as barriers to future floods. With no
! high water this year these trees and drifting
sand Will have nearly two years to form checks
! to the high water oflS93. This will DC in ample
/ time 20 cut off al water communication of the
| Colorado with SaitoE. 1t Is but "a question of
! time when the depression in the Colorado
desert will be entirely cut off from the water OF
/ he Colorado river. The sand hills, beginning
4 AZ about Pilot Knob and extending west forty
miles. are gradually reaching the Cocopah
mountains. When joined to these mountains
| they will form n barrier from 200 to 300 feet
L,pn that will entirely shut off the water of the
| Co.vIado river from the New river country and
/ Saltou. The channel through which water
! came last summer Is now entirely dry for l6O
| miles from Salton."

CONCERNING LIFE MODELS,
Their Beauty 10 in the Artists Eyes, No. in
ThemselveG

If you imagine life models are handsome let
me disabuse your mind, writes Isabel McDoug-
all in Frank Lesiies Monthly. Most OF them
are downright plain. a few are fairly good look
ing. Yet when the artist IS at work he thinks
them so. Truly beauty lies in the eye of the
bcho.der."
Unless YOU are an artist or artist student
despair of making you understand how a
model becomes transfigured upon the posing
stand. With the advantage of little distance,
a graceful attitude. light which brings out all
the beauties OF texture-be it rich velvet,
sheeny satin or glowing, translucent fesh---the
model stands a d. migod-a nymph. There
breathe airs from Olympus. There shines
The IGN. that never was on Sea or land,
The cunsecrasion and the poets dream.
You painting not the model, but the dryad,
who suggests the dewy, twilight woods. the free
winds oi heaven. the jOyance of Arcadia. Not
the model, but the heroic youth OF the golden
age. who stand for
All the gcry that Greece and the grandeur that
was Rome.
Presently time is up. The platform is empty
The nymph Or the hero is donning shabby nine
teenth-cen.ury attire in the models closet or
behind the tail screen.
Once, going to friends studio, 1 met a
woman coming out of it. Her uncorseted
figure looked large and loose in badly fitting
gown. Her hands and feet were coarse. Her
hard face had a certain expressionless regu-
larity but the features were thick Her I'M
tidy hair escaped from Its coil in strings and
wisps. Well, went upstairs and found my
friend jubiant over r beautiful sketch. He
knew lie had done good thing but he said
much of the credit was due to the model. She
was inspiring! She had the dark. classic head,
the proud, full throat. the straight, white limbs
of a goddess She would hold Il pose notion
less. ii frozen into it, aud then slip out of it
at the word like lightning. 1t was only the
finest frames that could do that. He wished he
could paint the quick blue spark that came in
her eye when she looked uI suddenly. 1t was
like u wild creature of the woods.
did not tell him had seen the woman. .,
saw her often afterward She posed good
deal in the different studios and schools She
seemed rather stupid, inanjmate creature
but she certainly kept the positions we'll Some
one said it WAS because she was generally sod
den with liquor or opium. Once she had an
appalling black eye. Her whole check was dis
colored from the effect OF blow or fall. She
seemed unconscious of it, and went through
her days work with her usual motionless dull
ness. Poor creature!
THIS is an extreme case. Do not imagine
most female models are SO degraded. Ihcv
are usually of the lower classes. The only ex-
cep.ion that / know Of is Miss R.. who
was herself an art student met with reyerses
and found herself obliged to earn living by
posing. Her artistic training and superior in
telligencc made her good at it. She was very
thin and not at all pretty, but her proportions
were 9sthetically correct and after all grace
lies in the bone not in the flesh. Sarah Bern
hardt proves this.

1t is the universal fashion to describe the late

1t desirable to place tho responsibility OF his np-

Lord Salisbury, who was then secretary for In
