SALT Lake GROWING FREsHER.
The Springs That Flow Into 1t Hava
Changed Its Character.
} From the Philadelphia Times. /

AnAnkeU us CHARACTER
From the Philadelphia Times. h.
The Great Salt Lake is two feet IoweH
to-day than ever before known in the his.
tory of Utah. Every fall the lake Is sew
eral feet lower than Ia the spring; but
this year the waters have subsidized to such
an extent that many of the bathing pavil-
ions and lighthouses are left high and dry
upon the beach. 1t has always been be-
leved by experts that the lakes had am
underground outlet, but no explorer has
yet been fortunate enough to discover any.
1t Is supposed, however, that outlets exc
list, and that during the last six months
they have gained noticeaby upon the
springs which supply the lake with it's
water. ~
on the northern slopes Of the lakes
shores and down the western border ara
numberless springs which have always
run pure brine into the inland sea. Theses
springs evidently come through immense
rocks Of salt in the earth, and by washing
through them they make the spring water
intensely briny by the time 1t reach
es the surface. There have been signs OF
a change In these springs in recent years.
Several times they have deased to flow az
rapidly as usual, and the water they pour
ed up appeared fresher. In several othen
places there are many fresh water springs
and pour into the lake. These springs
have become larger and more powerful
since the salt water springs became clog
ged up, and it is supposed the under ground
reservoir of water, diverted from its usual
course, is now seeking an adequate Quilted
through the springs where no salt rocks
exist. q
II this theory is correct the Great SAID
lake will gradually turn to fresh water,
and the surface will continue to fall until
the winter and spring freshets from the
mountains hll it again. This additional
water will add no salt to the great sea- but
make 1t fresher than ever. Those engaged
in manufacturing salt on the lake say that
1t takes six gallons of water to make
one gallon of salt in the summer and fall.
but that in early spring 1t often takes
seven and even eight gallons to make tho
same quantity of salt.
There are three large streams empty
ing into the Great Salt lake-the Bear.
Weber and Jordan rivers-but they make
no appreciable difference I'm the saltiness
of the lake, except early in the spring.
when they carry the melting SHOWS of the
mountains down to the lake. So long as
the underground springs of salt continue
to pour into the lake an immense volumo
of fresh water is required to neutralize
their effects.
The Great Salt lake is seventy miles
long and fifty miles across in its widesn
part, and it has an area Of two thousand
square miles. Another peculiar changes
that has taken place In the lake is the
gradual upheaval of the bottom. In re-
cent years its greatest depth has not ex-
cseded forty feet, while the average depth
Is only from twelve to twenty. Fifty years
ago the bottom could not be sounded i'm
places, and lines hundred feet long fall
ed to strike bottom.

sprang up into a flame. Then, with the
greater delight in the world, as if the baby
had been a toy for their especial gratifi-
cation, the two children knelt down and
began to disencumber the little creature
from its manifold wrappings
1t had been well protected against the
cold, and bottle of milk was fastened to
its clothes. The milk, was, however, now
almost cold, and Harry was carefully de-
ltberating whether he ought to warm it,
when an Interruption occurred.
Mrs. Derrick had slept on. for some min
utes after Katie's departure, and it was
perhaps only a mothers instinct that
reused her when the child's place at her
side grew cold. She raised herself at last
and stretched out her hand, as she often
did at night to see that the child was
warmly covered but her hand met only an
empty space. For a. moment she was
startled. Then she remembered that 1t
was Christmas day morning, and a
thought of what must have happened
brought a sad smile to her lips.
They have gone to look for their
Christmas presents.I suppose, poor chn
dren. Harryt Kate" she called out,
where are you?" But there was no reply.
Then she struck a light, and found that
Harry's bed also was empty, and some
strange muffled sounds came to her ears
from the kitchen.
They'll catch their deaths of cold" she
said to herself as she hastily wrapped
a cloak round her and proceeded to de-
sceud the stairs.
But at the foot of the stairs a strange
sight met her eyes. The Kitchen door was
open, and the kitchen was all illuminated
by the red glow of the blazing fire, while
her children knelt beside a white-gowned
baby creature, who cooed and crowed and
stretched his limbs luxurously IN the
warmth, as if he were in the downiest of
cradles and in the eosiest of nurseries.
instead of being only a little waif and
stray on a rag-carpet and a kitchen
floor,

MRS. W'KINLEY
is DYING !
The Venerable Lady Stricken With
Paralysis at Her Canton Home.
The PRESIDENT AT her BEDSIDE
on Learning Of His Mothers Serious Illness
the Chief Magistrate Of the Nation
Telegraphed Tell Mother
viii Be There"

Canton o.. Dec. 3--At an early hour
yesterday morning Mrs. Nancy Allison
Mckinley, the venerable mother of
the president was stricken with par
alysis, and her death is believed to be
only a question of a short time. That
the attack would ultimately end in
death was the first fear Of the family
and the consultations of the attending
physicians have tended to confirm this
belief Every effort is being made to
render the patient comfortable and
what will doubtless prove to be her last
illness as free from suffering as pos
sible.
The paralysis when it first appeared
was not Of a serious form, and seemed
only to have affected her vocal chords.
She was able to walk from her own
bedchamber to that Of her daughter,
Miss Helen Mckinley, to give the first
intimatiOn of the attack, and at that
time seemed to be in possession Of all
her mental and physical faculties, but
soon after a change was noticed, and
In the afternoon she sank into a condi-
ton of semi-unconscious, in which she
has since remained.
Mother Mckinley must have been
stricken some time during Wednes-
day night, but the first intmation she
had Of her illness was when she awoke
in the morning and found herself un-
able to speak. She walked to the room
of her daughter and aroused the lat

ter. At once Miss Mckinley saw that
| something had happened. She awak-
! ened the other members of the family
and physician was called. He at once
/ pronounced it paralysis.
| Mother Mckinley had been slightly i'll
| for several days with a mild attack Of
| the grip. She had been up and about
/ the house, and no serious results from
| her illness were apprehended. Her son.
! Abner Mckinley, of New York, arrived
| in Canton on Tuesday, and his mother
! seemed to be greatly cheered by his
! presence, Wednesday she was so
| bright and cheerful as to cause the
family to remark on her Improvement,
Mr.. Mckinley saying that he had not
seen his mother looking so well for a
number Of years. That being her con-
| dition when she retired Wednesday
evening the blow to the family upon
| discovering what had come upon her
during the night was a sad one. Dur
ing the forenoon a letter from the presi-
dent was received. 1t was read to the
aged sufferer, and in response to ques-
tions if she understood its contents she
nodded her assent.
