carrying this virtue too far. Times

to make them still harder, stop all pub
lie as we'll as private improvements,
reduce wages to the lowest rates, and
then hoard up money. This will make
times hard if nothing else does"

One of Natures wonders.

In the extreme eastern edge of Ari-
IONA, some forty miles west by south of
that remote pueblo, Juni, n. NJ, there
is most remarkable natural phenom-
cnon-a great, shallow, salt lake in Il
bowl-like depression, the sink itself be
ing some hundreds of feet deep and
three miles across. The basin, all that
portion of it not taken up by the lake,
is dazzling white with millions upon
millions OF salt crystals. In the center
OF the lake rises what appears to be a
conc-shaped volcanic peak. Should you
take the trouble TO ford the lake and
explore this peall-a task neither dis
agreeable nor dangerous-you will find
instead of a crater of smoking, scething
mud miniature lake in the middle OF
the peak, clear as crystal and as pure as
any spring water.
