MORE SALTY THAN THE DEAD SEA.
| A Ton Of Great Salt Lake Water Holds
| About 3I4 Pounds Of salt.

Water of the Great Salt lake varies
greatly in its contents of dissolved sol
ids, depending upon the relation between
the supply of water through streams and
the evaporation. a fair average of total
solids dissolved in the water Of the lake
at its present mean level is from 10 to
20 per cent by weight. But not all OF
this is common salt, for besides this in
grediont the water contains sodium sui
phate (glauber saltsl, magnesium chic
ride, calcium sulphate tgypsum) and po-
tassium sulphate. A detailed analysis
of water taken from the lake in Au-
gust, 1888, was made by DIR. Talmage.
This contained in all 10. 56 per cent dis
solved solids, Of which Is. "A was COM
mon salt Such water would yield of
total solid matter 39l pounds TO the ton,
and of common salt about 3l4 pounds
to the ton.
The Dead sea contains a greater pro-
portion of solid matter dissolved in Its
waters than does the Great Salt lake.
Much discrepancy exists among pub
hShed accounts of its contents, the fiuc-
tuations IA composition being due TO
the same catses that prevail in our lake
viz, the relation between the supp y
through intiowing streams and loss 10y
evaporation. A sample taken from a
depth Of lilo feet carries 25.t per cent
Of dissolved solids. This corresponds to
52S pounds to the ton, but of this only
/ Z. 80 per cert was common salt, OF lsl
/ pounds per ton.
Therefore, though the Salt lake car.
: ries lower proportion Of dissolved sol.
i'd Of all sorts than does the Dead sea,
/ the lake contains more than double tbs
/ proportion OF salt. The chief solid con
stituent OF the Dead sea water is not SO
dium chloride common salt), but mag
neeium chloride. Strictly speaking, tbs
water of o1r lake is much "brinier
than that of the Dead sea, common salt
being the chief solid dissolved III th'
lake Nevertheless the Dead sea Is mucL
more highly saturated with solids

HUMAN WEATHER INDICATORS.
Effects of k'mas pheric Changes on tn
Temperament of Men.

Temperament of Men.
A writer in The American Journal Of
Psychology discusses the subject from
tine view of common experience and
presents some facts that ale interesting
as well as leading in their directness
BE says:
The head of a factory employing
5000 workmen said, We reckon that
6isagreeable day yields about 10 per
cent less work than delightful day,
and we have thus to count this as fac
tor in our profit ana loss account. Ac-
cidents are more numerous in factories
ON bad days.
"A railroad man never proposes
changes to his superior if the weather
is not propitious. Fair days make men
accessible and generous and open to con-
slider new problems favorably. Some say
that opinions reached in best weather
states are safest H. invest on.
Other facts are mentioned in the
psychical and PHI siological relations, as:
"Weather often affects logic, and many
mems most syl'0gistic conclusions are
varied by heat md cold. The knee jerk
seems proved 70 have another factor. IL
is not. strange If the eye, which wants
the normal stimulus in long, dark
weather, causes other changes.
Temperament is fundamental factor
in sensitiveness to atmospheric changes,
that type of it called the mental being
the more intensely affected, while the
bilious type may exhibit by comparison
the more capricious or morbid impress
sions, says The chronological journal.
The mental manifestations, as rule,
however, depend upon the organism
primarily If the culture is good-that
il, the faculties have been trained Il
coordinate harmonious action, and the
elements that contribute to serenity and
self control have been well developed
weather conditions will but operate
like other parts of the environment, and

The nervous, excitable, irascible
person is he who has not learned TO con-
troll feeling and expression, and 1t Is he
who finds fault with his Surroundings
and imputeS uncanuy conduct to them
That there are functional states Of the

A FULL COURSE DINNER.
The feast to Which the Old Man Was En-
abIed to Invite His Comrade.

"a Full Course Dinner, l3 Cents,
IL the most conspicuous sign ON the
front Of that famous Park row restau-
rant known to all trampdom in particu-
lar and the public in general as THE
Boss Tweed AS the patrons of the
establishment are not bothered by su-
perstition, or at least not in sufficient
measure to clash with their appreciation
of such a generous offer as full
course dinner for l3 cents, the meal
I'm question is vastly popular one
among the restaurants habitues. Into
the Boss Tweed one evening shortly
alter dusk there entered an individual
of surprising shabbiness of raiment, but
who was both dignified and handsome.
He was tall man, past middle age and
carried himself with the air of an old
soldier who is proud of his record. In
appearance be was a shabby and time
worn edition of that type of cavalryman
one secs in pictures of the first Napo-
leon campaigns, for his iron gray
mustache bristled fiercely, and he wore
an imperial on his chin. He was pale,
but his eyes were bright, and above
them We're shaggy eyebrows almost as
heavy in texture as his mastache. The
old chap approached the cashiers coun-
tw and said, May ! ask you to inform
me what your dinner.fur I3 cents con-
sists off, "Yes. sir, replied the cash
ir "You get soup, fish, roast, two
vegetables, bread and butter, cut OF
pie and cup Of coffee.
s"Ah-h-h-h = ah-h-h-h, hm-m-ml
Most generous, I'm sure, said the old
fellow slowly, nodding his head in con-
Armation of his words, and then he
leaned over the counter, and in lower
tone added: 81 have asked a gentleman
20 dine with me this evening. Might
inquire il you could arrange so as to LEI
me have two dinners for quarter!
The cashier, kindly man, who is per
force kept perpetually ON the qui vivt
lsGt he be cheated, glanced at his ques
tiouer sharply. as if he suspected he wa'
heing cha6ed, but he saw In an instant
thas the query was genuine, and he ap
preciated the situation. with pleas

door the old fellow signaled to still
more ragged companion, who was wait

Meringue GIaee "without Ants"

A man went into the cafe of Broad
way hotel the other day and sat down
on "a stool in front of the lunch counter.
He had been in many Of the eating
houses, or "beaueries, " in the Bowery
and Park row and thought he was ia
miliar with the various terms which
walters employ when repeating Gus
TONER'S order, but he had a surprise in
store for him. When ne had finished
his luncheon, he told the waiter he
would like a meringue glace by way OF
dessert. The proud and naughty person
behind the counter stiffened his spinal
column, and in loud and commanding
tones said:
John, meringue glacep
One of the menials outside the coun-
ter sped ON the errand with lightning
like rapidity, and after apparently max
ing the delicacy returned with it. On
close examination by the customer ii
was found that numerous small red ants
were racing over it. He mentioned the
fact to the waiter.
What, he exclaimed in horrified
tone, ''ants? Dear, dear" Then he
called again: John, John, come here.
Look at this! Get a meringue glace
without ants"
''what?' said John in a dazed way,
while every man in the room turned his
head and snickered.
"5et meringue glace without ants, y
repeated the proud and naughty one,
with emphasis, ''and hurry up about il
too"
So John removed the small conven
tion of insects and soon returned with 9

IN EXTRA SESSION.

Colorado Legislature Convened The
Governors Message Read.
DENVER, Jan. 10.-The ninth general
assembly of Colorado convened at noon
today in extraordinary session in re-
sponse to the call of Governor Waite.
The governors message renews the
recommendations in his call for extra
session. and urges the state to coin its
own silver bullion into dollars which
shall pass as legal tender for all pur-
poses on an equality with gold.
Immediately after the JOINT session
was dissolved, a row broke out in the
house. Bonynge (Rep.) declared tn Z,
governor had insulted the intelligence
of the legislature by making a partisan
stump speech. Sweeny (Pop.) hotly de-
tended the governor. A motion to ad
journ sine die was defeated-25 to As.
The message was ordered printed by a
vote of 81 to s.
The house adjourned until tomorrow.
The senate did likewise, after referring
the message to committee OF nine
three from each party. A very large
majority of senators favor adjournment t
without acting upon any of the recon-
mendations, but it is uncertain whether
the house will fall into line.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
A BURLINGTON TRAIN HELD UP
NEAR ST. JOE.
Five Masked Men Riflsd the Mail and
Express Cars-They Were Nervous
and Apparently New at
the Business.

ST. JOSEPH, No., Jan. 10.-A Burling-
ton train, leaving this city at 6 :25, was
held up about 8 miles east OF St. Joe by
five masked men. The train was
stopped by torpedo being placed on
the track and red lantern swung across
the road in regulation custom. AS soon
as the train stopped, three robbers
boarded the engine with drawn revol-
vers, and ordered the engineer and fire.
man to accompany them to the express
car and order the express messenger to
open the door. This they did, and when
the express messenger opened the door
three robbers, with revolvers in each
hand, entered the car and the messen-
ger was ordered to open the SAFE. He
did so. The robbers then took every
thing in the safe. The amount ia
claimed by the railroad officials not to
exceed $50. The statement is not cred
tied here, however
The trainmen think the robbers are
amateurs. as they were nervous all dur
ing the affair, and appeared to be much
excited.
When the train stopped, the brake
man went back to flag the st. Louis
train, and when several hundred yards
down the track, heard shots fired. and
suddenly the train pulled out. He says
the robbers entered the mail and ex-
press cars and took the registered mail
in the former and all the packages in
the safe of the latter.
