Waves on the Great Salt Lake.

A correspondent Of the Companion
recently witnessed a most convincing
proof of the weight Of the salt-laden
waters Of the Great Salt Lake. A
strong gale of wind WAS blowing over
the lake, and driving its surface in-
to low, white-capped ridges, while
along the shore the foam lay like fiat
banks of neW-fallan snow. If it had
passed across a lake Of fresh water
of equal extent that wind would I'M
questionably have produced such an
agitation OF its surface that navi-
cation in small boats would have been
difficult if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Salt
Lake, although driven into ridges as
Just remarked, showed a curious re-
sistance to the wind and the waves,
rising to only a slight elevation,
moved along with an appearance of
lethargy that the eye could not but
notice.
Yet there was an immense mOmen-
tum stored up in those low, heavy,
SloW-moving waves. NenturiDg into
the water at d point where the depth
did not exceed four feet the observer
found that it was impossible to stand
against them. Their sheer weight
swept him resistlessly along.
The curious b%uoyancy of the water,
containing twenty-five per cent. OF
salt in solution, increased the help
lessness of the bather. He was not
submerged, as sometimes occurs in
the Atlantic breakers, but was lifted
and carried like a cork.
1t would probably have been inn
possible to dive through an neon
ing wave after the matter practiced
by bathers along the Atlantic coast.
In the Great Salt Lake people are
not drowned through sinking, but
strangled while still afioat. The Bit
ter water may enter the air passages
with fatal effect, but the body on
tinues to float until it reaches the
shore or is picked up.

The Entree to Society.

OF a certain New York clubman,
the Recorder tells that he became
desperately enamored Of a charming
widow. She was not unmindful Of
his passion, and invited him down to
dine at her place. He was something
of a gourmet, and she was richly en-
dowed with the acumulations of her
first husbands trade in some patent.
medicines, the sutton anticipated a
delicious little dinner which should
make him appear at his very best
when it came to putting the momen-
tous question. But when they were
at table, and she served him only cold
ham, jelly, tea, and lemonade, his
heart fell. He had never made love
after a dinner like that, and he could
not rekindle the fame. It was nc go,
and he gave it up. AS he was max
ing his adieux, the widow asked, with
seemingly simplicity: "My dear Mr..
W, how does one get into New
York ~seciety?" His opportunity had
come. 1t was a mean advantage,
but he took it, as be replied: "By
not serving lemonade at dinnerl"
And he hurried to the station.
