Towles was convicted of both crimes
and sentenced to the pcnitentiary for

sentenced to 60 days in the county Jail
and the trial of forgery postponed.

MILES AND MILES OF SALT.-One OF
the natural curiosities of Asia is the
great salt desert of Persia, which cover
large territory about 20 miles south
of Teheran. C. E. Baldulph, who re.
Gently visited that place, says tina:
Darya-i-Namak is an extensive tract Of
ground, sloping on all sides toward the
center, covered with an incrustation OF
solid salt several feet thick in most
places. while in some parts it is Of un'
known depth. As he saw it from the
mountain top it stretched away for
many miles, appearing like vast ifo1'
en- lake. II extended as far as the eye
could reach toward the outh and west,
and glistened in the sun like a sheet Of
glass.
margin of the salt plain and decided 10
cross it. They found swampy ground
for mile or so and then entered upon
the sheet of salt itself. Near the edge
the incrustation was thin and the SAT-
sheet was soft, sloppy and mixed WIN
earth. AT distance of three or tour
miles from the edge the salt looked
like solid ice as it is seen on any poho
in northern ATTITUDES during the winter
The surface was not quite level Ou'
resembled that of ice which had par
tally thawed and then frozen again ar
ter a slight fall of snow. OF the soliu,
ity of this incrustation there couid .s
no doubt, for camels. horses ana Hinls'
were travelling over it without VIDE VIDE
ton of any kind being pereepli!o.tt;
After marching for about elsh.
miles upon this unusual surface lu'
party halted to examine its compost
ton. They tried, by means Of a la% aa
mer and an iron tent-peg. to oreaA u.
block of salt to carry away as l,e.
men. The salt, however, was 50 yei!
hard that they could make no mp Ie,t
